Stainless steel clad rebar (SCR) was investigated because it may become a cost-effective means of controlling corrosion in concrete under very aggressive environments. Sound SCR (316L cladding) resisted corrosion in saturated Ca(OH)2 solution (SCS) with up to 5 wt% chloride. Cladding breaks on SCR induced significant corrosion of exposed underlying CS in SCS with only 1 wt% chloride. A computer...

In this study, the bond behavior of corroded reinforced concrete was investigated by conducting pull-out tests on specimens with variable induced crack widths and different splitting modes. To simulate cracks due to corrosion focus their effect strength degradation, a novel method using expansion agent filled pipes is proposed. With increase width over elapsed time from filling aluminum pipe an...

The tension stiffening behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) prisms, affected by the aggregate volume expansion induced neutron irradiation, were numerically investigated using a rigid body spring network model. First, model was validated comparison with uniaxial test results wet- and dry-cured (with contraction concrete) RC prisms. Subsequently, different degrees strain applied to elements in p...
