INTRODUCTION

Any man made structure is bound to show signs of distress in the form of cracks or deflections during some stage of the life. If the structure shows the signs of distress before its design life, it can be made to perform well with appropriate repair / rehabilitation / retrofitting process. Before any of these remedia are applied, it is imperative that the structure needs to be evaluated thoroughly. In seismically active regions, the structures are subjected to both static and dynamic loads and hence, special care needs to be taken while performing the analysis, as well as repairing processes.

It is essential for everyone involved in the construction industry to understand the intricacies involved in repair / rehabilitation / retrofitting of the structures for understanding the problem in a better manner and also to know the latest trends in managing these issues.
