State of the Art Report on Corrosion Verification of Steel Bars in Concrete Structures

As the progress of theory and computer technology, nonlinear analysis is widely applied in civil engineering. Strip method, as one of the numerical methods, is used widely especially in the analysis of beams, columns and shell structures. The first half of this paper introduces the theoretical model and the basic assumptions of the strip method; the latter half of this paper compiles the strip method into computer program using FORTRAN language. At last, using beams with rectangular cross-section of reinforced concrete structures as an example, the paper analyze the factors, such as the strength of the steel bars, which have an impact on the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures.

Concrete Elements

Fiber reinforced polymers (FRPs) are considered to be a promising alternative to steel reinforcement, especially in concrete structures subjected to an aggressive environment or to the effects of electromagnetic fields. Although attempts to develop effective reinforcement have been followed, the application of FRPs remains limited by the solution to simple structural problems that mainly appear due to the absence of design codes, significant variation in the material properties of FRP composites and limited knowledge gained by engineers as regards the application aspects of FRP composites and structural mechanics of concrete elements reinforced with FRPs. To fill the latter gap, the current state-of-the-art report is dedicated to present recent achievements in FRPs applying practice to a broad engineers’ community. The report also revises the manufacturing process, material properties, the application area and design peculiarities of concrete elements reinforced with FRP composites. Along the focus on internal reinforcement, the paper overviews recent practices of applying FRP reinforced concrete (RC) elements in structural engineering. The review highlights the main problems restricting the application of FRPs in building industry and reveals the problematic issues (related to the material properties of the FRP) important for designing RC following the formulation of targets for further research.
