Book Corrosion and its Consequences for Reinforced Concrete Structures

Download or read book Corrosion and its Consequences for Reinforced Concrete Structures written by Raoul Francois and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion and its Consequences for Reinforced Concrete Structures serves as an indispensable guide for engineers, scientists and researchers, exploring the fundamental aspects of corrosion in reinforced concrete. Its originality lies in the coupling between the reinforcement corrosion of reinforced concrete and its mechanical behavior.The authors describe the specific theoretical foundations of the corrosion of steel in concrete and its interactions with the structural aspects, including service cracking and defects in the placement of concrete. The book contains a study of the mechanisms of degradation of the mechanical behavior of reinforcements and the reinforced concrete composite, such as reduction of ductility, bearing capacity, redistribution of efforts by formation of plastic hinges and increase in the beam deflection in service. A diagnostic method based on corrosion-induced crack detection is presented in the book, and then paired with a recalculation method which allows us to predict the different aspects of the residual mechanical behavior. Several end-of-life ELS and ELU criteria are described, and the authors propose an approach to estimate the residual lifetime. Finally, the book presents the cathodic protection that allows the progression of corrosion to be contained within the corroded structures. As well as academics, this book is aimed at civil engineers who are faced with the issue of corrosion in aging structures. Explores corrosion in concrete Examines the influence of pre-cracks on corrosion Discusses corrosion diagnostics and corrosion-induced cracks Presents residual mechanical properties of corroded structures: effect of corrosion on steel behavior, load-bearing capacity, yielding capacity, deflection of corroded beams and the effect of corrosion on bond Provides repair and maintenance considerations: cathodic protection and carbon fiber reinforced polymer used to strengthen and restore bearing capacity

Book Corrosion of Steel in Concrete

Download or read book Corrosion of Steel in Concrete written by Luca Bertolini and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-02-26 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Steel-reinforced concrete is used ubiquitously as a building material due to its unique combination of the high compressive strength of concrete and the high tensile strength of steel. Therefore, reinforced concrete is an ideal composite material that is used for a wide range of applications in structural engineering such as buildings, bridges, tunnels, harbor quays, foundations, tanks and pipes. To ensure durability of these structures, however, measures must be taken to prevent, diagnose and, if necessary, repair damage to the material especially due to corrosion of the steel reinforcement. The book examines the different aspects of corrosion of steel in concrete, starting from basic and essential mechanisms of the phenomenon, moving up to practical consequences for designers, contractors and owners both for new and existing reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. It covers general aspects of corrosion and protection of reinforcement, forms of attack in the presence of carbonation and chlorides, problems of hydrogen embrittlement as well as techniques of diagnosis, monitoring and repair. This second edition updates the contents with recent findings on the different topics considered and bibliographic references, with particular attention to recent European standards. This book is a self-contained treatment for civil and construction engineers, material scientists, advanced students and architects concerned with the design and maintenance of reinforced concrete structures. Readers will benefit from the knowledge, tools, and methods needed to understand corrosion in reinforced concrete and how to prevent it or keep it within acceptable limits.

Book Influence of Reinforcing Steel Fracture on Seismic Performance of Concrete Structures

Download or read book Influence of Reinforcing Steel Fracture on Seismic Performance of Concrete Structures written by Kuanshi Zhong and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Low-cycle fatigue and fracture of longitudinal reinforcing steel is a critical potential failure mode in concrete structures subjected to earthquake ground motions. Design to resist fracture depends on the reinforcing steel materials, the design details of the reinforced concrete members, and the cyclic deformation and strain demands imposed by the earthquake. Recently, concerns related to reinforcing bar fatigue and fracture have arisen due to two developments. One is the interest by the engineering and construction industry to utilize high-strength reinforcing steel materials in structures designed for regions with high seismic hazard. Since high-strength reinforcing bars tend to be less ductile and more prone to low-cycle fatigue, as compared to conventional Grade 60 bars, their adequacy for use in structures in high seismic regions needs to be confirmed. The second is related to concerns about long duration ground motions, which can increase the cyclic loading demands on steel reinforcement. Since current design methods do not explicitly consider the influences of ground motion duration, questions have been raised as to whether current seismic design requirements are adequate for structure in regions that may be affected by large magnitude earthquakes or geologic basin effects, which can lead to ground motion duration that are longer than considered in conventional designs. In the prevailing structural design and assessment methods, fatigue and fracture are only implicitly considered by checks of peak deformation measures (e.g., peak strain demand) or other proxy measures (e.g., cumulative plastic demand), which are not sufficient to resolve behavioral effects associated with material cyclic toughness and duration effects under random cyclic loading. This study (1) develops a reliable analytical framework and supporting computational tools for simulating fatigue and fracture in steel reinforcement, considering the steel material properties, reinforcing bar details in concrete structures, and random ground motion loading; (2) applies these methods to evaluate seismic design requirements for high-strength reinforcing bars, specifically Grade 80 and Grade 100 bars; (3) develops an analytical framework and algorithms for using nonlinear dynamic analysis results to systematically evaluate earthquake duration and ground motion spectral shape effects on structures; and (4) applies these methods to incorporate earthquake duration effects in the design of reinforced concrete bridge piers.

Book Effect of Accelerated Corrosion on the Bond Strength of Corrosion Resistant Reinforcing Bars Embedded in Concrete

Download or read book Effect of Accelerated Corrosion on the Bond Strength of Corrosion Resistant Reinforcing Bars Embedded in Concrete written by Sourav Khatua and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrosion of steel reinforcing bars embedded in concrete applications is a major problem all over the world. Effect of corrosion causes metal loss at sections, cracks in the concrete surrounding the reinforcing steel, spalling of cover concrete also leads to de-bonding of reinforcing bar from the concrete. Corrosion cracks in the surrounding concrete leads to loss in bond strength and finally reduce the structural strength and service life of the structure. This problem is consistently observed in structural slab bridges that are exposed to deicing salts during the winters. In the era of 1980's, black convention steel was replaced with epoxy-coated bars as a solution to prevent corrosion in bridge decks. However the advantage of using epoxy coated bars is still uncertain as the bond strength of these type of bars is a concern. Several researchers in the past have highlighted deleterious effect of corrosion on epoxy-coated bars that are damaged during handling. It is necessary to study the use of alternative reinforcing bars as means of corrosion protection in bridge deck applications. There are several corrosion resistant bars that are readily available in the market, but performance of these bars under accelerated corrosion conditions is still unclear. Six different types of bars which include, conventional black bars, epoxy-coated bars, hot dipped galvanizing bars, continuously galvanized bars, stainless steel bars and MMFX bars were studied in this thesis. The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of accelerated corrosion on bond strength of concrete. The bond between concrete and reinforcement bars play a major role in transfer of stresses from concrete to steel. However, corrosion weakens this bond, resulting in weakening of the Reinforced Concrete member. So, it was necessary to investigate the performance of CRR (Corrosion Resistant Bars) embedded in concrete and s ubjected to accelerated corrosion. The effect of addition of polypropylene fibers on the bond strength was studied. A total of 48 prism specimens were cast with CRR bars including the ones with fibers, of which 24 specimens were subjected to accelerated corrosion. The prisms were 6-inch cube with a reinforcing bar at the centre of each specimen. The embedment length of the bar was 2.5 inches at the mid-height of the section. An electrochemical cell was adopted by placing the specimens in a tank containing 5% salt solution with stainless steel cathode surrounding the specimen. The circuit was completed by connecting the cathode and the reinforcing bar to an external power supply. The specimens were subjected to accelerated corrosion for total of 21 days which includes a two-day wetting and one day drying cycle. Impressed current of 0.02A, calculated using Faraday's law to achieve 5% corrosion damage was supplied during the wetting cycle using external power source. The corroded specimens were then tested to investigate the loss of bond strength due to corrosion and capture any improvement in bond strength using polypropylene fibers. It was observed that, corrosion of bars showed serious bond loss leading to reduced pull-out strength with larger slip of the bars relative to the embedded concrete prisms. Addition of polypropylene fibers showed an improvement in the overall performance of the corroded specimens by increasing the load capacity, reducing slip and improving failure mode from brittle to more ductile mode, compared to un-corroded specimens..

Book Experimental and Analytical Investigations on Bond of Reinforcement and Nonlinear Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns

Download or read book Experimental and Analytical Investigations on Bond of Reinforcement and Nonlinear Response of Reinforced Concrete Columns written by Ghassan Fawaz and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bond of reinforcement has a major influence on the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Even though bond has been extensively studied over the past decades, there are still a number of knowledge gaps requiring investigation. This dissertation presents three studies related to the basic bond behavior of reinforcement and the influence of bond-slip on the seismic response of RC columns. The first investigation characterizes the bond behavior of iron-based shape-memory alloy (Fe-SMA) bars. Fe-SMA reinforcement provides new opportunities for design and strengthening of concrete structures thanks to their shape memory effect. However, there is currently little data on its bond performance. Experiments were conducted to study the bond-slip behavior of ribbed Fe-SMA bars embedded in concrete specimens with different levels of passive confinement. Fe-SMA bars presented a similar bond performance as conventional reinforcement, but their bond strength was reduced with heat activation in low-confined specimens. An analytical model is also proposed to calculate the transfer length of Fe-SMA bars in prestressing applications. The second investigation proposes nonlinear finite element models to accurately simulate the cyclic response of RC columns, including the effect of bond-slip. Concrete is modeled using a triaxial constitutive model recently proposed in the literature. A commonly used uniaxial steel model is modified to account for low-cycle fatigue rupture using a phenomenological criterion. The bond-slip behavior of bars is modeled using a zero-thickness interface element and a bond stress-slip law that predicts bond deterioration caused by generalized slip demands, tensile yielding of steel, and concrete damage. The proposed models accurately predict the cyclic response and failure of previously tested column components. The third investigation focuses on the effects of strain penetration and bond modification on the lateral response of RC columns. Two large-scale column specimens were tested under cyclic loading. One specimen had conventional reinforcement details, while the other had headed bars that were partially debonded along the footing to alleviate strain concentrations. Both specimens formed plastic hinges and failed due to rupture of longitudinal bars. The specimen with partial debonding presented less damage and a larger deformation capacity. Experimental data indicated that the debonding strategy reduced peak tensile strains, and increased bar slip and fixed-end rotations. However, it also reduced the lateral load resistance of the column. Companion finite element analyses have indicated that the reduction in peak lateral strength is caused by lower steel stress demands when concrete cover fails
