Modeling bond strength of corroded reinforcement without stirrups

Deterioration of bond strength between concrete and reinforcement is of great importance in studying the strength of structural members with corroded reinforcements. A simple analytical model is proposed to demonstrate the effect of corrosion of reinforcing bar on reduction of bond strength. The corrosion pressure due to expansive action of corrosion products before and after corrosion cracking is firstly estimated. Then, reduction of bar confinement caused by cover cracking, change of friction coefficient between the steel and the concrete, and reduction of the friction force on the bearing face as well as deterioration of the ribs of the deformed bars due to steel corrosion are considered in calculating the mechanical interactions between reinforcing bar and concrete. As a result, the bond strength of corroded bars is calculated. The theoretical results are compared with the experimental results and agree with those results well.

Corrosion mechanisms of steel concrete moulds in contact with a demoulding agent studied by EIS and XPS

The behaviour of E24 mild steel was studied by XPS analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) in a filtered solution of cement (pH 13), and an alkyl N-aminodiphosphonate aqueous solution called Aquadem^® (7?pH?13). XPS results showed that the corrosion products developed in both media consisted of Fe₂O₃, covered by a very thin layer of goethite. The thickness of this oxide layer was estimated to be 3 nm. XPS analysis also demonstrated the adsorption of Aquadem^® on the outer layer of FeOOH for pH lower than the zero charge pH of goethite (7.55). From XPS and EIS results, physical models of the E24 steel/electrolyte interface are proposed as a function of pH. For 11?pH?13, the steel is covered by a passive film, while for pH?10, pitting corrosion takes place. At pH 7, an additional mass transport phenomenon must be taken into account. The fitting procedure provided values for several physical parameters (electrolyte resistance, passive film resistance), from which the film capacitance and the dielectric constant of the oxide layer were calculated.     

Structural integrity assessment of the containment structure of a pressurised heavy water nuclear reactor using impact echo technique

The impact echo technique is based on the use of transient stress waves for non-destructive detection of flaws in concrete structures. Impact-echo testing has been carried out for assessment of the structural integrity of the ring beam of a pressurised heavy water nuclear reactor. In order to develop the test procedure for carrying out impact echo testing, mock up calibration blocks were made. The detectability of the impact echo system has also been established in terms of the depth and the lateral dimension of the detectable flaw for the ring beam under consideration. Based on the optimised test parameters identified with the help of the studies carried out on the mock up blocks, impact echo testing was carried out on the ring beam of the reactor containment structure, for assessing its structural integrity.     

High-frequency ultrasonic testing of young cement-based materials using the ‘prism technique’

A new technique for testing young cement paste and mortar is presented. It is based on a method, which uses unconventional prism-shaped specimens. It involves the precise measurement at fixed intervals of 24 h of the time-of-flight of both compressional and shear waves using high-frequency ultrasound. A water tank was designed that allows for easy coupling and handling of the specimens. Both waves are generated by mode conversion using the same transducer. The echoes from all the specimens were strong, and no signal processing was required. Thus, reliable and repeatable results were achieved using a very basic apparatus. Second-order elastic constants were evaluated, and correlation was made with the porosity and age of mortar. A new standard based on this method is proposed which would help in the making of prediction models for evaluating the strength of cement-based materials.
