The effects of corrosion focusing on the consequences bond strength deterioration for a reinforced concrete bridge pier in seismic affected area are examined this research. A degradation model based local stress-slip presented FIB Model Code 2010 is chosen. motorway overpass object previous study, which considered rebars cross-section reduction effect only, has been selected to assess capacity ...

Guaranteeing adequate safety levels in critical infrastructures such as bridges is essential to modern societies and their vital services. Bridges with reinforced concrete structures are subject deterioration, especially due corrosion effects. Gerber saddles among the key components of which exposed environmental actions position reduced possibility inspection. In this paper, a framework for du...

This article presents the advantages and limitations of a recently developed Ultrasonic Guided Wave Leakage (UGWL) method in comparison to well-known Half-Cell Potential (HCP) their ability detect corrosion reinforced concrete (RC) bridge decks. research also establishes correlation between UGWL data chloride content RC slabs. Concrete slabs submerged 10% NaCl solution were monitored using both...

Safety of the existing corrosion damaged reinforced concrete (RC) bridges during a seismic event is matter increasing concern. To reduce enormous economic loss and casualties, it important to examine potential risk corroded RC bridge structures. This paper presents simplified method determine fragility piers by developing FEM model analysis. make proposed approach realistic, numerical validated...
