Sustainable maintenance of existing steel-reinforced concrete structures becomes more important. Using non-reinforced sprayed mortar to maintain these structures often leads to cracks in this repair layer due to the alteration of crack widths in the ordinary structure. The water impermeability as well as the durability of the sprayed mortar will be reduced due to the described cracks. This presentation shows a solution for the described problem. The use of carbon yarns with a special inorganic coating as reinforcement in sprayed mortars leads to a self-healing of the arising cracks. Due to the inorganic coating applied on carbon yarns the excellent bond between mortar and yarn results in a fine distributed crack image with crack width below 0.1 mm. It is shown that these cracks heal themselves. Consequently we can provide a mainly mineral protection layer for existing steel reinforced concrete structures which is impermeably to water based solutions. The presentation focuses on the material development and characterization.

Abstract In this paper we wish to present the numerical model elaborated in order to simulate some physical phenomena that influence the general deterioration of steel, whether hot dip galvanized or not, in reinforced concrete. We describe the physical and mathematical models, establishing the corresponding equation system, the initial and boundary conditions. We have also presented the numeric model associated to the mathematical model and the numeric methods of discretization and solution of the differential equations system that describes the mathematical model.

Moment-deformation curves of square steel tube filled with steel reinforced concrete subjected to bending load were simulated by the ABAQUS software. Calculated and experimental curves agreed well with each other. Through studying further the calculated member, the behavior of materials subjected to moment is given. Finally, flexural capacity formula of square steel tube filled with cross steel reinforced concrete is proposed.
