In recent years, as a result of the large-scale use of stainless steel bars in production and life, people’s demand for stainless steel bars has increased. However, existing research information on stainless steel bars is scant, especially the lack of research on the mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel bars and the bonding properties of duplex stainless steel bars to concrete. Therefore, this paper selects 177 duplex stainless steel bars with different diameters for room temperature tensile test, and then uses mathematical methods to provide suggestions for the values of their mechanical properties. The test results show that the duplex stainless steel bar has a relatively high tensile strength of 739 MPa, no significant yield phase, and a relatively low modulus of elasticity of 1.43 × 105 MPa. In addition, 33 specimens were designed to study the bonding properties of duplex stainless steel bars to concrete. In this paper, the effects of concrete strength, duplex stainless steel reinforcement diameter, the ratio of concrete cover to reinforcing steel diameter, and relative anchorage length on the bond stress were investigated, and a regression model was established based on the experimental results. The results show that, with the concrete strength concrete strength from C25 to C40, the compressive strength of concrete increased by 56.1%, the bond stress increased by 27%; the relative anchorage length has been increased from 3 to 6, the relative anchorage length has doubled, and the bond stress has increased by 13%; and, the ratio of concrete cover to reinforcing steel diameter increased to a certain range on the bond stress has no significant effect and duplex stainless steel reinforcement diameter has little effect on the bond stress. The ratio of concrete cover to reinforcing steel diameter from 3.3 to 4.5 and the bond stress increased by 24.7%. A ratio of concrete cover to reinforcing steel diameter greater than 4.5 has no significant effect on the bond stress, with the average bond stress value of 20.1 MPa. The duplex stainless steel bar diameter has little effect on the bond stress for the diameters of 12 mm, 16 mm, 25 mm duplex stainless steel bar, and their average bond stress is 19.9 MPa.

The factors on mechanical anchoring performance of HRB500 steel bars, such as concrete strength, concrete cover thickness, diameter of steel bar, anchorage length of steel bar and transverse reinforcement ratio, were studied based on pull-out tests of 45 specimens. And the formula of mechanical anchoring bond strength for HRB500 steel bars was concluded by statistical regression analysis method. Through the reliability analysis, the mechanical anchoring length of design value and the table of conversion ratio between mechanical and direct anchoring length of HRB500 steel bars have been proposed. So it could be used as a basis for practical projects. The results indicate that the mechanical anchorage length of HRB500 steel bars can be still designed with the formula proposed in GB 50010-2002 “Code for design of concrete structures”.

During earthquake, the ground along with its various natural and manmade structures experiences shaking of various intensities and frequencies depending on the nature of the earthquake. The loading activities caused by earthquakes on various structures are very much cyclic type, which is popularly known as fatigue loading. On the other hand, for modern high-rise buildings a large volume of steel bar is used to reinforce the concrete because of the pioneer role of steel bars embedded inside the concrete for safety of the buildings. In this study various mechanical properties of reinforcing steel bars that are essential to counter balance the earthquake effects have been identified first. At the same time these essential mechanical properties have been defined and studied for most commonly used reinforcing steel bars. For doing this, both the conventional and advanced structural steels were selected. The mechanical properties and fatigue behaviours of these steels have been presented and discussed in this paper.  Keywords: Earthquake; High-rise buildings; Reinforcing steel bars; Conventional structural steel; Advanced structural steel.© 2012 JSR Publications.

System integrity of a flanged connection requires that no leakages occur. Metallic flanges and their joining is of great importance when it comes to avoiding leakages from hydrocarbon lines. The American standard ASTM A182 demands that flanges must be forged to shape, thereby excluding other manufacturing methods. Mechanical properties of duplex stainless steel bars have been examined by doing tensile and charpy tests. A finite element model of a typical ASME-flange assembly was made and was used to calculate stress levels in the flange. The measured mechanical properties of the bar, showed that it is suitable for flange use.

Pullout tests for the deformed steel bars in early-aged cementitious grout by considering the variables of testing ages, cover thicknesses, and diameters of steel bar were conducted, and the local bond stress–slip relationship at different positions of the anchorage length of steel bar was studied. Results indicated that, with the increase of testing age, the load-slip curves exhibited a higher ultimate load and had steeper ascending and descending branches; however, the slippage at the ultimate load exhibited a decreasing trend. Moreover, with the increase of cover thickness and diameter of steel bar, the ultimate load of pullout specimens increased obviously, while the corresponding slips generally had no obvious correlations. According to an analysis of the measured rebar strain, the distributions of the steel stress and bond stress as well as the relative slip along the embedded length were obtained under different external loads. Steel stress transfer and bond stress distribution parameters were introduced to characterize the nonuniformity of the distributions of the steel stress and bond stress along the steel bar, and the effects of the testing age, cover thickness, and diameter of steel bar on these two parameters were analyzed. Results showed that the both of these two parameters increased with the increasing tensile load, testing age, and cover thickness and with the decreasing diameter of steel bar. Thereafter, the local bond stress-slip relationships along the anchorage length and position functions reflecting the variations of these relationships were proposed.

Subsea shield tunnels usually serve in a typical corrosive marine environment. Under the action of chloride penetration and carbonization, tunnel lining segments are often damaged because of concrete strength loss and steel bar corrosion induced concrete cracking during their service life, which seriously degrades the service performance of the tunnels. A systematical experimental and numerical investigation into the performance degradation of subsea shield tunnel segments accounting for concrete strength loss and steel bar corrosion is presented in this paper. The study demonstrates that chloride penetration decreases the peak strength and elastic modulus of the segment concrete by 42% and 46.1%, respectively. The average of the ratio of dissipated energy to the total energy of dry concrete is much smaller than that of water saturated concrete and chlorine solution saturated concrete, and chloride penetration reduces the energy storage capacity of concrete, and the ability to resist damage is weakened. When steel bars corrode for 120 days, the outer cracks continue to extend, and the concrete around the inner steel bars just begin to crack initiation; when corrode for 20 years, the length of the inner cracks gradually exceeds that of the outer cracks, and the inner cracks initiating from different steel bars coalesce with each other and form a continuous failure surface, causing great serious damage to the segment. Due to the difference in concrete strength, for the outer layer, the evolution processes of steel bar corrosion-induced cracks show the characteristics of early initiation, slow propagation, and late coalescence, and those for the inner layer have the characteristics of late initiation, rapid propagation, and early coalescence. During the whole process the propagation speed of the inner and outer cracks appears to be fast first and then slow. Moreover, the study also illustrates that the final state of segment performance degradation after crack coalescence presents the characteristics of whole lamellar exfoliation of the concrete cover.

The tensile behaviors of corroded steel bars are important in the capacity evaluation of corroded reinforced concrete structures. The present paper studies the mechanical behavior of the corroded high strength reinforcing steel bars under static and dynamic loading. High strength reinforcing steel bars were corroded by using accelerated corrosion methods and the tensile tests were carried out under different strain rates. The results showed that the mechanical properties of corroded high strength steel bars were strain rate dependent, and the strain rate effect decreased with the increase of corrosion degree. The decreased nominal yield and ultimate strengths were mainly caused by the reduction of cross-sectional areas, and the decreased ultimate deformation and the shortened yield plateau resulted from the intensified stress concentration at the nonuniform reduction. Based on the test results, reduction factors were proposed to relate the tensile behaviors with the corrosion degree and strain rate for corroded bars. A modified Johnson-Cook strength model of corroded high strength steel bars under dynamic loading was proposed by taking into account the influence of corrosion degree. Comparison between the model and test results showed that proposed model properly describes the dynamic response of the corroded high strength rebars.

Corrosion of the steel reinforcement bars reduces the area of the steel bar and the bond stress between the steel bars and around concrete that decreases the capacity of concrete structures. In this study, the bond stress between steel bar with a diameter of 12mm and concrete was examined with the effect of different corrosion levels and different concrete grades. A steel bar was inserted in a concrete block with a size of 20×20×20cm. The compressive strength of concrete was 25.6MPa, 35.1MPa, and 44.1MPa. These specimens were soaked into solution NaCl 3.5% to accelerate the corrosion process with different corrosion levels in the length of 60mm. The pull-out test was conducted. Results showed that the bond strength of the corroded steel bar was higher than that predicted from CEB-FIP. Slip displacement and the range of slip displacement at the bond strength were reduced when the concrete compressive strength was increased. The rate of bond stress degradation occurred faster with the increment of the corrosion level when the concrete compressive strength was increased.
