Change Jacket Edge
Column jacketing is done with the Change Jacket Edge command.
Column jacketing is a method used to increase the bearing capacity of the column. Jacketing can be done from one, two, three or four sides, depending on the degree of damage to the columns. Jacketing is the process of placing longitudinal reinforcement around the existing column and wrapping this reinforcement with stirrups and finally closing the perimeter of the existing column by pouring concrete. With the jacketing of the column, while increasing the cross-sectional area of the column, the reinforcement percentage is also slightly increased.
