Behaviour of Shear Critical RC Beams with Corroded Longitudinal Steel Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2010-09-29)This thesis discusses the results of an experimental program designed to investigate the effect of corrosion on the behaviour of shear critical reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The results of twenty RC beams (ten deep beams ... -
Bond and Development Length in Concrete Beams with Exposed Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2013-09-19)Corrosion of steel reinforcement in Ontario bridges is causing severe soffit spalling in many situations. These spalled areas are often located within the lap splices and curtailment zones of the primary reinforcement. ... -
Bond of Corroded Reinforcement in Partial Depth Repairs in Reinforced Concrete Elements
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-29)The bond in a reinforcement concrete (RC) structure is represented by the force transfer between the reinforcing bar and the surrounding concrete. All the RC structures are designed to have a perfect bond between the ... -
The Case for Stainless Steel Reinforcing Bars
(University of Waterloo, 2015-03-19)As Canada’s ever expanding transportation network continues to age, the costs associated with rehabilitating and replacing structural elements, such as bridges, continues to grow. This rehabilitation is often required ... -
The effect of galvanized steel corrosion on the integrity of concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2008-01-16)The major concern regarding the use of hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel as reinforcement in concrete has been the high rate of corrosion experienced by the zinc during the first hours in the fresh, wet, and highly alkaline ... -
Evaluating the Effects of Spalling on the Capacity of Reinforced Concrete Bridge Girders
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-01)Corrosion of the reinforcing steel is a primary deterioration mechanism for reinforced concrete bridges. Heavy use of de-icing salts is believed to be a major contributor in Ontario to severe girder soffit spalling in ... -
Fatigue Bond Behaviour of Corroded Reinforcement and CFRP Confined Concrete
(University of Waterloo, 2007-07-13)Bond in a reinforced concrete (RC) structure is the interaction force that transfers force between the steel and concrete. It influences the structural performance and serviceability of a structure under both static and ... -
Shear Behaviour of Disturbed Regions in Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corrosion Damaged Shear Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)Corrosion of reinforcing steel is a major problem facing infrastructures owners with billions of dollars spent in repairing our aging infrastructure. One of the first steps in the repair process is to quantify the strength ... -
Shear Behaviour of Slender RC Beams with Corroded Web Reinforcement
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-29)This research study examined the effect of corrosion of web reinforcement (stirrups) on the shear behaviour of slender reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The experimental program consisted of seventeen slender shear-critical ...
