Relación entre la velocidad de corrosión de la armadura y el ancho de fisuras en vigas de concreto armado expuestas a ambientes que simulan el medio marino  RESUMENEsta investigación presenta una relación empírica entre la velocidad de corrosión de la armadura y la velocidad de ensanchamiento de fisuras por corrosión del recubrimiento de concreto en vigas, con o sin aplicación de carga. Se evaluaron vigas de concreto armado, expuestas a un proceso de corrosión natural mediante el rociado con solución salina al 3,5 %p/p de NaCl, para acelerar el proceso corrosivo de la armadura, mediante ensayos electroquímicos. El ancho de fisuras se evaluó mensualmente para estimar la relación existente entre éste y la pérdida de sección de la armadura. Los resultados demuestran que existe una relación directa entre la propagación del ancho de fisuras y la velocidad de corrosión, observando fisuras de mayor ancho en vigas cargadas.Palabras clave: corrosion; concreto armado; vigas cargadas; ancho de fisuras. Reinforcement corrosion rate and crack width relationship in concrete beams exposed to simulated marine environment ABSTRACTThis investigation presents an empirical correlation between the rebar corrosion rate and the corrosion-induced crack width propagation rate produced on beam's concrete cover, with or without load application to these beams. Reinforced concrete beams were evaluated, exposed to a natural corrosion process by spraying with 3.5 %w/w NaCl solution, to accelerate the rebar corrosion process, was performed with electrochemical tests. The beams corrosion-cracking evaluation was performed once every month, to determine the relation between crack width and the rebar corrosion loss. The results showed a direct relation between crack width propagation and rebar corrosion rate, showing wider cracks in the loaded beams.Keywords: corrosion; reinforced concrete; loaded beams; crack widths. Relação entre a velocidade de corrosão da armadura e a largura das fissuras em vigas de concreto armado expostas a ambientes que simulam o ambiente marinho RESUMOEsta pesquisa apresenta uma relação empírica entre a taxa de corrosão da armadura e a abertura de fissuras por efeito da corrosão da armadura em vigas de concreto, com ou sem aplicação de carga.

The different mechanical property determines the difference on cracking behavior between GFRP/steel wire composite rebar reinforced concrete beams and steel rebar reinforced concrete beams according to cracking mechanics. In order to study the cracking behavior of concrete beams reinforced with GFRP/ steel wire composite rebar, five simply-supported beams were tested under three-point static load. The test variables were beam section size and concrete cover depth. Based on analysis on the test results, the calculation methods of cracking capacity and maximum crack width were proposed, and the limit value of crack width was suggested.

This study performed accelerated corrosion tests on reinforced concrete (RC) specimens reinforced with transverse steel bars to evaluate the concrete cracking and rebar strain behaviors caused by rebar corrosion. Seven RC specimens were created with variable compressive strengths, rebar diameters, and concrete cover thicknesses. To mimic in-situ conditions, the accelerated corrosion tests applied a current to the longitudinal bar and transverse bar for different periods of time to create an unbalanced chloride ion distribution. These tests evaluated the amount of rebar corrosion, corrosion cracking properties, and transverse bar strain behavior. The corrosion rate of the transverse bar was faster than that of the longitudinal bar, and cracking first occurred in the concreate around the transverse bar in the specimens with low concrete compressive strength and thin concrete cover. Corrosion cracking and rebar strain were greatly affected by the behavior of the corrosion products that resulted from the pore volume and cracking properties of the cement paste.

SADDAM HUSEIN. Analisa Pola Kegagalan Balok Beton Menggunakan GFRP Bar Tanpa Selimut Beton (dibimbing oleh Rudi Djamaluddin dan Rita Irmawaty) Struktur beton bertulang yang menggunakan tulangan baja pada daerah korosif, menjadi rawan terhadap kerusakan atau penurunan kekuatannya akibat korosi.Korosi pada tulangan baja merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab menurunnya kekuatan struktur beton bertulang. Salah satu material yang dikembangkan mengatasi korosi adalah penggunaan material tulangan GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa kapasitas lentur dan pola kegagalan balok beton tanpa selimut dengan menggunakan material tulangan GFRP bar.   Desain penelitian merupakan eksperimental laboratorium dengan rekapitulasi sebanyak 6 sampel yang terdiri dari 2 Balok beton menggunakan tulangan baja dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan tulangan GFRP bar dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan GFRP bar tanpa selimut beton. Metode pengujian dilakukan dengan dengan pengujian lentur statik monotonik dan Analisis data menggunakan uji kondisi retak awal dan kondisi ultimit.   Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas lentur pada balok dengan tulangan GFRP bar lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balok tulangan baja dan mampu meningkatkan kapasitas lentur balok dalam menahan beban sebesar 39.76 %, pola kegagalan beton yang terjadi pada balok tulangan baja mengalami kegagalan lentur tekan ditandai dengan retakan yang terjadi pada sisi tertekan dan membentuk retakan tegak dengan sumbu netral beton yang tertekan, sedangkan pada balok beton tulangan GFRP tanpa selimut mengalami kegagalan keruntuhan tekan geser dengan kondisi tulangan berdeformasi (bi-linear) dengan retak miring dan secara tiba-tiba menjalar menuju sumbu netral beton yang tertekan sehingga terjadilah keruntuhan secara tiba-tiba.     SADDAM HUSEIN.Failure mode analysis of concrete Beams Using GFRP rebar Without concrete cover (supervised by Rudi Djamaluddin and Rita Irmawaty)   Reinforced concrete that uses rebar steel in corrosive areas, are prone to damage or decreased strength due to corrosion. Corrosion in the steel reinforcement is one of the factors that decreasing strength of reinforced concrete. One of the materials developed to overcome corrosion is the use of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforcement material. This study aims to analyze the flexural capacity and failure mode of concrete beams without concrete cover using material GFRP bar as reinforcement.   The research design was an experimental laboratory with a recapitulation of 6 samples consisting of 2 beams using steel reinforcement with concrete cover.2 concrete beams using reinforcement GFRP bar with concrete cover, 2 beams using GFRP bars without concrete cover. The  research method uses the monotonic static flexure and analyzing the data using the initial crack condition and ultimate conditions test.   The results of the research indicate the flexural capacity of the beams with GFRP bar reinforcement is higher than steel reinforcement beams and can increase 39.76% of the flexural capacity of the beams in holding loads , the failure mode analysis occurs in steel reinforcing beam experiences compressive failure. Failure was characterized  by cracks that occur on the depressing side and form an upright crack with the neutral axis of the compressed concrete, whereas in GFRP reinforced concrete beams without concrete cover, failure of shear compression with conditions of deformed reinforcement (bi-linear) with sloping cracks and suddenly spread towards the neutral axis of the compressed concrete so that there was a sudden collapse.
