Today, we want to do the same for columns\u2014the members that bear the compressive forces in our structures. Are you going to miss it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the years leading up to the aforementioned economic crisis, there was a global \u201cboom\u201d in housing and infrastructure construction, which has resulted in a wide variety of structures that now need to be maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Given that we are in the midst of a recovery process and in light of the above, it is reasonable to expect that investments in renovation and maintenance will grow exponentially, creating new business opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Concrete columns or piers are the structural elements that primarily bear the compressive forces of a structure. They are so important that, if not strictly calculated, they could cause the immediate collapse of the structure they support by violating an ultimate limit state. Examples such as the construction of the<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/en\/the-gateway-arch-the-worlds-tallest-man-made-monument\/#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/el-arco-gateway-el-monumento-mas-alto-del-mundo-construido-por-el-hombre#elementor-toc__heading-anchor-3\"> Arco Gateway in the United States<\/a>, demonstrate how the engineering of large structures requires extreme precision in calculating the elements that bear the main loads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pilares_de_hormigon_armado_definicion\"><\/span>Reinforced Concrete Columns: Definition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>reinforced concrete column <\/strong>It is a vertical structural element that primarily resists compressive forces. It is composed of concrete and steel reinforcement, which allows it to withstand heavy loads. Proper sizing is essential, as an error in its calculation or a defect in its construction can lead to the collapse of the structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In certain cases, it is necessary to use techniques such as <strong>Reinforcement of concrete columns<\/strong> to improve its strength, stiffness, or durability, whether due to a change in structural use, a defect in the original concrete, or insufficient reinforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here's an explanation <strong>5 Ways to Reinforce a Column That Every Engineer Should Know.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%BFCuando_usar_estas_tecnicas\"><\/span>When should you use these techniques?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Original concrete with very low strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insufficient amount of rebar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Change in structural use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Recrecido_de_secciones\"><\/span><strong>1. Section Enlargement<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Section enlargement involves increasing both the concrete area and the amount of reinforcing steel in the column. It is one of the most commonly used techniques for<strong> Reinforcement of Reinforced Concrete Columns<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bond between the new reinforcing bars and the obsolete ones becomes very important if their condition still allows them to withstand some tensile force. For this reason, it is sometimes appropriate to cut out a section to gain access to these reinforcing bars, as shown in the image, where some <strong>connecting forks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Pilar3-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pillar 3\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, the original concrete section is usually chiseled away by about 3 centimeters in order to achieve a<strong> proper adhesion<\/strong> between the different types of concrete. It should be noted that these two materials should, if possible, have the <strong>the same elastic limit<\/strong>, because otherwise, they might warp differently and not be effective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.structuralia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Pilar2-5.jpg\" alt=\"Pillar 2\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ventajas_del_recrecido_de_secciones\"><\/span><strong>Advantages of section enlargement:<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It's a very common solution in various applications, as well as being the most radical and <strong>effective in the most complex cases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It offers the possibility of <strong>correct any errors<\/strong> in the calculation of concrete strength or the amount of reinforcing steel.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Affordable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Desventajas_recrecido_de_secciones\"><\/span><strong><span style=\"background-color: rgba(30, 41, 59, 0.2);\">Disadvantages<\/span> Section growth:&nbsp;<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Technical training is required to<strong> calculate the screed<\/strong> in detail.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the original pillar is located <strong>in very poor condition<\/strong>, the screed must be designed to support all loads on its own, which requires a more detailed analysis. Furthermore, in this case, the structure must be shored up to relieve the load on the element in question; otherwise, the reinforcement will only act against the excess loads.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Modifying the section will result in a change in structural stiffness, which will lead to a<strong> new distribution of stresses<\/strong> in the structure that must be taken into account.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Zunchado_de_pilares\"><\/span><strong>2.
