The recovery and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures are increasingly common in Brazil, mainly due to the aging of structures built in the 60s and 70s of the twentieth century, which are close to reaching their lifetime. Added to this, factors such as the use of concrete with low strength, execution failures, improper use and lack of maintenance. Due to these factors that society should endeavor to enhance and / or restore these buildings, thus avoiding demolition of the same and even avoid fatal acidentes. This paper presents a case study that aims to recover a building that is abandoned for nearly two decades in the city of Rio Branco, Acre State. Currently, there are various techniques for strengthening reinforced concrete structure. Such as reinforcement through reinforced concrete jacketing, supplemented or enhanced with added armor, enhanced with application of metal sheets and profiles, reinforcing pillars reinforced with carbon fiber (PRCF), among other. In this work, the method adopted for recovery was enhanced by reinforced concrete jacketing. And for a better understanding of the methodology adopted work also presents details of the enhanced configuration adopted, constructive detail and executive procedures of the method adopted. In addition, the wrappers showing the active and resistant efforts before and after the booster.
