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 Difference

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.

Abstract The contribution is focused on quantifying model uncertainty of crack width estimates for reinforced concrete beams. Predictions obtained by the model provided by the fib Model Code 2010 are compared with results of tests of beams having different longitudinal and shear reinforcement ratios and concrete cover. Trends of model uncertainty with basic variables are investigated.

Reinforced concrete cover in the road culvert cover design, in order to facilitate the construction, usually using precast reinforced concrete solid slab, but the overall cost is not low. This article researched a reinforced concrete multi-ribbed hollow composite slab, it based on the theory of reinforced concrete multi-ribbed slab structures, using a precast reinforced concrete ribbed slab as the bottom die, then poured reinforced concrete beams and panels rib ,and them constituted a whole stack of reinforced concrete ribbed hollow slab. This kind of cover, compared with the precast reinforced concrete solid cover, is not only good mechanical properties, high integrity, but also saving concrete, steel, and bottom slab appeared smooth and fine, lower construction cost.

Constant Moment

Fourting concrete beams reinforced with 500MPa longitudinal steel bars, of which 6 with skin reinforcement and 8 without skin reinforcement, were tested under two-point symmetrical concentrated static loading to investigate their crack patterns. Crack distributions in constant moment region of beams are compared. The propagation of side cracks along the beam depth is obtained. The results of this study indicate that the concrete cover of longitudinal tensile steel bars and the spacing of skin reinforcement has significant effect on crack distributions; substantial crack control in beams can be achieved if the spacing of skin reinforcement is limited to certain critical values. The curve of d-w(d is the distance between observation points of side cracks and tension face of beams, w refers to crack width at observation points) is approximately characterized by a zig-zag shape and concave-left near longitudinal tensile steel bars.

This paper gives the influences of the coarse aggregate size on the cracks of the beam with different aggregate sizes under static loads. The coarse aggregate sizes are ranked into three classes: small size (4.75mm ~ 19mm), big size (19mm ~ 37.5mm) and mixed size (4.75mm ~ 37.5mm). The developments of cracks of three reinforced concrete beams with the different of coarse aggregate sizes under the static loads are researched. The results show that under the action of the same loads, The reinforced concrete beams with the big aggregate size and mixed aggregate size have almost the same maximum crack width, while the maximum crack width of the beam with small aggregate size is less than formers. Using fractal theory, the fractal dimension of the cracks is studied. The result shows that the aggregate sizes have significant effect to the cracks on the reinforced beams.

For the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete under high temperature with large deterioration, the reliability of reinforced concrete beams have been largely discounted. A calculation of fire resistance based on failure probability is given by this paper. Reinforced concrete beam is usually working with cracks. Since each section with cracks has possibility of destruction, the reliability of the beam is calculated by the minimum value of n crack-sections’ resistance. The plastic zone resistance of concrete under high temperature is considered in this paper. A simple and feasible time-variant model of the resistance of reinforced concrete beams under fire and a reliability index analysis method of reinforced concrete beams under fire has been given. The action of ISO834 temperature rising curve on the reliability index of different specifications of concrete beams at different time is analyzed. The action of main parameters on the reliability index changes with time is shown. The fire resistance considers the failure probability is given. The results show that increase the reinforcement ratio and concrete cover thickness appropriately are effective measures to improve the fire resistance limit of reinforced concrete beams.
