Dec 02, 2015· Several different carbon-capture technologies have been proposed for use in the cement industry. This paper reviews their attributes, the progress that has been made toward their commercialization, and the major challenges facing their retrofitting to existing cement plants. A technology readiness level (TRL) scale for carbon capture in the cement industry is developed.

Sari Bintirafdinal et al. [14] reported deterioration evaluation and life-extension strategy of 77 year old concrete structure exposed to Indonesian marine Environment. Roberto Torrent et al. [15] studied site testing of Air Permeability as indicator for Carbonation rate in old structures.
Evaluation and Structural Retrofitting of a Cement Plant Preheater Tower. Inspection by plant personnel revealed cracking in the concrete frame of a 326-ft-tall, 7-level preheater tower. On-site plant engineers deemed the cracking significant, especially since the structure supports critical manufacturing process equipment.
An initial study was performed for seismic upgrade using traditional analytical methods, which resulted in extensive retrofit work, including strengthening and enlarging most of the foundation, strengthening the roof slab diaphragm and its connections to all perimeter walls, and fixing short captive concrete columns. This retrofit work would ...

In addition, the material should be of an extremely low permeability. High-performance concrete has been suggested to use for realizing the eco-efficient repair of concrete structure (Tayeh et al., 2013; Pacheco-Torgal et al., 2013b). Particularly, high performance fiber concrete is useful for retrofitting severely deteriorating members.
A procedure for evaluating the seismic performance and retrofit of existing low-to-midrise reinforced concrete (RC) buildings is proposed. The procedure is derived from the well-known capacity spectrum method and is intended to provide practicing engineers with a methodology for estimating the margin of safety against structural failure.
3. Retrofitting of Reinforced Concrete Structures 3.1 Column strengthening When an earthquake hits, reinforced concrete columns are considered to be the most vulnerable part of a typical RC structure as they are the major load carrying element of the building. Minimum cross section size and lack of steel reinforcement in under
Seismic Evaluation of Existing Reinforced Concrete Building Dinesh J.Sabu1, Dr. P.S. Pajgade2 ABSTRACT: The recent earthquakes have exposed the vulnerability of the existing reinforced concrete buildings in India. The Bhuj earthquake (2001) saw a great deal of damage to multi-storey buildings in the urban area of Gujarat.
A structural engineering consulting firm was retained to evaluate the extent of the problem and formulate a repair plan on a fast-track basis. The firm mobilized at the site in less than 24 hours and performed an initial structural safety assessment. A comprehensive structural evaluation indicated that the structure required strengthening.
