Study on Performance of PVA Fiber Reinforced Concrete Exposed for 10 Years to Seawater Spray
Source abstract
Abstract
This paper reports the analytical and the experimental results of changes in the performance of PVA fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) exposed for 10 years to seawater spray. In this study, the specimens were FRC prisms with a corroded rebar and cracks in some areas, after having been maintained in a saline environment. In addition, a push-out test of the rebar in the specimens was conducted to examine changes in push-out load and crack width at surface in FRC. Furthermore, the salinity analysis, the measurement of initial crack widths, and the measurement of the corrosion amount of the rebar were performed.
