Purpose This study aims to make an effort to develop a model to predict the residual flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams subjected to reinforcement corrosion. Design/methodology/approach For generating the required data to develop the model, a set of experimental variables was considered that included corrosion current density, corrosion duration, rebar diameter and thickness of concrete cover. A total of 28 sets of reinforced concrete beams of size 150 × 150 × 1,100 mm were cast, of which 4 sets of un-corroded beams were tested in four-point bend test as control beams and the remaining 24 sets of beams were subjected to accelerated rebar corrosion inducing different levels of corrosion current densities for different durations. Corroded beams were also tested in flexure, and test results of un-corroded and corroded beams were utilized to obtain an empirical model for estimating the residual flexural strength of beams for given corrosion current density, corrosion duration and diameter of the rebars. Findings Comparison of the residual flexural strengths measured experimentally for a set of corroded beams, reported in literature, with that predicted using the model proposed in this study indicates that the proposed model has a reasonably good accuracy. Originality/value The empirical model obtained under this work can be used as a simple tool to predict residual flexural strength of corroded beams using the input data that include rebar corrosion rate, corrosion duration after initiation and diameter of rebars.

Flexural Tests

Recently, many structures which were built about 30 years ago are watched by reconstruction. Demolished concrete is occurred in the process and these quantity increase about 10% more than the preceding year. Fortunately, recycled aggregates are produced from demolished concrete, whereas the recycled aggregates are not used often because there are not many researches which have been verified by experts or researchers about strength when reinforced concrete is made with recycled aggregates. In this paper, high strength reinforced concrete is valued with potential applications and check change of strength when it made by recycled aggregates. For this, flexural tests of 4 high strength reinforced concrete beams with recycled aggregates were performed, and the high strength reinforced concrete beams were tested within the limits such as compressive strength, flexural strength, ductility, strain, and curvature. The current test data were examined in terms of flexural strength, along with the data from previously tested reinforced concrete beams with recycled aggregates.

The present Investigation is aimed at utilizing low cost material Dolomite powder and waste material Quarry dust as partial replacement of cement and sand in concrete. This experimental investigation is carried out in three stages. In 1st stage M25 grade of concrete is produced by replacing cement by 0%, 6%, 12% and 18% of Dolomite Powder. In 2nd Stage concrete is produced by keeping the optimum 12% of dolomite powder as constant and sand is replaced by quarry dust in the percentage of 0%, 25%, 35% and 45%. In 3rd stage the optimum percentage of Dolomite Powder and Quarry Dust (DP+QD) Concrete are used to determine the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete and to check the flexural behavior of RCC beams. It is found that the concrete made of low cost material dolomite powder and waste material quarry dust increases the compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength of concrete when compared to that of normal concrete. It also concluded that the first crack load and ultimate load of dolomite powder and quarry dust reinforced concrete beams increases when compared with normal reinforced concrete beams. From study it is concluded that the low cost material Dolomite powder & Quarry dust can be used in construction works which results in construction cost. By using natural resources the environment is protected.
