The rehabilitation of any structure is necessary, if the potential strength, as on the date, of the structural element or the global strength, found less than proposed, thereby reducing the factor of safety. The reduction in factor of safety alarms the danger signal during the event of disaster especially like earthquake. The ageing of the admixtures of the building components, environmental effects on the materials, repeated excessive or the change in the stresses reduces the strength. The change of use causing undesired change in nature and or of quantity of loading, change made in seismic zone, by national bodies, are the other factors that contribute in reduction of potential strength of the building.
