    1. The document discusses several methods for strengthening foundations, including jacketing isolated footings, constructing combined footings, connecting isolated footings to continuous straps or rafts, and adding micro piles. 2. Key steps for jacketing an isolated footing include excavating around it, installing dowels, adding new reinforcing steel bars, and pouring new concrete. 3. Methods are described for strengthening strap footings below walls and transferring isolated footings to continuous systems using straps or rafts.

    B - Strengthening strap footing

    1- jacket to the existing footings.

    Columns foundations need strengthening in


    the case of applying additional loads.
    Widening and strengthening of existing
    foundations may be carried out by constructing a
    concrete jacket to the existing footings.

    The new jacket should be properly anchored to the


    existing footing and column neck in order to
    guarantee proper transfer of loads

    This can be accomplished by drilling holes into
    existing concrete of footing and epoxy
    grouting the longitudinal reinforcement of
    jacket.

    When the bearing area of footing is not sufficient,


    the size of the footing should be increased.

    If the column is also being jacketed, the transfer


    of load from column to footing becomes easy

    6
    An isolated footing is strengthened by increasing the
    size of the footing and the reinforcement steel
    bars as follows:

    1. Excavating around the footing

    2. Cleaning and roughening the concrete surface.

    3. Installing dowels at 25-30cm spacing in both


    directions using an appropriate epoxy material.

    4. Fastening the new steel bars with the dowels


    using steel wires. The diameter and number of
    steel bars should be according to the design.

    7
    5. Coating the footing surface with a bonding
    agent in order to achieve the required bond
    between old and new concrete.

    6. Pouring the new concrete before the bonding


    agent dries. The new concrete should contain a
    non-shrinkage material.

    In all ways of strengthening the foundation should be
    linked to the old with the new base d owels iron no less

    depth within the old base of 30 cm with cement mortar

    and 50 once diameter they emerge outside the base

    length can be reduced -15-20sm according to strength

    of cohesion epoxy used and the instructions of the
