In modern days for structures in coastal areas it has been observed that the premature structural failures are occurs due to corrosion of the reinforcements of the designed structural member. The corrosion causes the structural damage which in turn leads to reduction in the bearing capacity of the concerned structural members. The aim of this study was to study the effect of partial replacement of fly ash to minimize the corrosion effect. Beams were designed and corroded by using artificial method known accelerated corrosion method. The beams were then tested for flexural and bond strength. Also the weight loss of the reinforced bars was been determined using electrical resistivity method. The fly ash will replace by 10% and 15%.The strength will calculate at varying percentage of corrosion at 10% and 15%. Beams will cast at M25 grade concrete. The flexural strength will test by using UTM and the bond strength will calculate using pullout test.

Experimental procedures used for the study of reinforcement to concrete bond have been hampered for a long time by inconsistencies and large differences in the obtained behavior, such as bond strength and mode of failure, depending on the specimen form and setup used in the test. Bond is controlled by the mechanics of the interface between reinforcement and concrete, and is sensitive to the influences of extraneous factors, several of which underlie, but are not accounted for, in conventional pullout test setups. To understand and illustrate the importance of specimen form and testing arrangement, a series of computational simulations are used in the present work on eight distinct variants of conventional bar pullout test setups that are used routinely in experimental literature for the characterization of bond-slip laws. The resulting bond strength increase generated by unaccounted confining stress fields that arise around the bar because of the boundary conditions of the test setup is used to classify the tests with respect to their relevance with the intended use of the results. Of the pullout setups examined, the direct tension pullout test produced the most conservative bond strength results, completely eliminating the contributions from eccentricity and passive confinement.

The use of composites with cement matrix seems to acquire an increasing interest in applications to masonry structures, due to their low impact, and a deeper understanding of the mechanical interaction between support and reinforcement is certainly necessary. The effectiveness of these interventions strongly depends on the bond between strengthening material and masonry, on the fibers/matrix interface, as well as on the mechanical properties of the masonry substrate [1]. In this work the attention was focused on the possible improvement of the bond between FRCM and masonry by means of an inorganic primer, which can be spread on the ceramic support before the application of FRCM reinforcement. Two different kinds of brick were tested, in order to simulate more or less porous masonry supports. Results obtained showed that, independently on the kind of brick used (more or less porous) the presence of an inorganic primer always improves bond between masonry support and the cementitiuos matrix of FRCM. In fact, the cementitous matrix of FRCM has been studied and optimized in order to guarantee the best fibers/matrix interface, while it is not necessarily the best option for improving the adhesion with the masonry support. In particular, very effective seems to be the use of very fine inorganic particles (at nanometric scale), which proved to be able to assure the best results in terms of bond strength. Also the fresh consistence of the primer seemed to influence the final result.

Base on the data that gained from pullout test of Polypropylene fiber, multi-factor regression analysis considering water cement ratio and age of cement matrix, length and angle of embedded fiber was carried out. Then, a practical function of pullout force-displacement was proposed, which is well agreed with the test results.

This research program consists of laboratory study of corrosion phenomenon in reinforced concrete and further analytical study of the experimental results obtained by Amleh (2000). The laboratory study examined the influence of increasing levels of corrosion on the progressive deterioration of bond between the steel and concrete and determined the extent to which the various water to cement (w/c) ratio in concrete mixtures influence the corrosion of the steel reinforcement as well as the chloride ion penetration. The influence of corrosion on the bond characteristics of the reinforcing bars in pullout test specimens made with two different w/c ratios and two different concrete cover thicknesses were investigated using control specimens to study the effect of the concrete cover ratio and the concrete compressive strength. The two w/c ratios were 0.47 and 0.37, with two concrete cover thicknesses of 40 mm and 65 mm. Hence, the effect of w/c ratio on different parameters like rate of corrosion, compressive strength and the effect of concrete cover thickness on the corrosion rate were studied. An accelerated electrochemical corrosion procedure was used to develop four levels of corrosion including no corrosion to complete corrosion, with over 25 percent steel bar weight loss due to corrosion, with wide longitudinal cracks. This research study clearly indicated that the bond stress-slip response of the embedded bar in the pullout specimen, was adversely affected by the width of the crack, and the level of corrosion. The crack width was found to develop faster and longer in specimens with lower compressive strength and as a result the maximum bond strength in the pullout test is affected signifcantly by the number and size of cracks, and thus, the level of corrosion. For a given crack width due to corrosion, it is observed that the available bond strength is higher for larger concrete cover thicknesses than for smaller cover thicknesses. Certainly, the quality of concrete in terms of its permeability is equally important for the corrision protection. A relationship between the effect of w/c ratio on chloride ingress was developed to count for the deterioration in bond stress, and the induced current used in corroding the speciments of Amleh (2000) and of this investigation program were incorporated to consider for the lack of chloride lot content measured due to the shorter immersing time in this investigation and the high current used to force the specimens to corrode in the accelerated corrosion process.
