Test Method for Cracking Resistance of Cover Concrete due to Corrosion of Reinforcement
Source abstract
Abstract
Expansion of the rust volume produced from corrosion creates the radial pressure pressing the cylindrical wall around reinforcing bars. To simulate this radial pressure from the expanding rust, a new experiment method is introduced. By this method, the mechanical device has to be embedded in each specimen during casting concrete. This device transfers the applied force and the displacement from vertical axis to the pressure and the displacement in radial direction. Therefore, the radial pressure and the displacement pressing the cylindrical wall around the reinforcing bars can be determined from the applied force and the displacement in the vertical direction. Two mortar specimens with different covering thickness, 50 and 90mm, were tested in order to examine the behaviors of the crack in the thinnest cover direction. The experimental results from this new experiment method are shown and compared with the calculated results of elastic, elastic-partially cracked, and fully plastic theory. In comparison, the experimental results of radial pressure were found to be higher than the elastic and the elastic-partially cracked but lower than the plastic theory. Furthermore, it was found that both normalized forms of the ultimate radial pressure and the ultimate radial displacement have linear relationships with non-dimensional cover thickness.
