in this paper the response of cantilevered reinforced concrete (rc) beams with smart rebars under static lateral loading has been numerically studied, using finite element method. the material used in this study is superelasticshape memory alloys (se smas) which contains nickel and titanium elements. the se sma is a unique alloy that has the ability to undergo large deformations and return to t...

Reinforcement corrosion causes destruction to the steel by a loss in cross section and rib height, which can affect bond between concrete. During repair of corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete members, protective coating is usually applied cleaned corroded steel. There is, however, little information available on performance coatings. Furthermore, effect their thickness other parameters like r...

A partial pre-rusted wire beam electrode (WBE) was designed to study the influence of rust layer on rebar corrosion in carbonated simulated concrete pore solution (SCPS). The results show that passive film generated steel area is more fragile than formed fine polished carbonaceous media. Nevertheless, pitting resulting from presence chloride ions still tends occur surface due local acidificatio...
