Abstract
Currently, large infrastructures (bridges, highways, etc.) are designed for more than 100 years. To achieve long service life, coated rebars (mostly, cement polymer composite (CPC) coated rebars) are being used to enhance the corrosion resistance. However, inadequately coated rebars can lead to premature corrosion. This can also affect the bond between the rebar and the concrete. To assess the effect of CPC coating on bond strength, pull-out specimens of (150×150×100) mm with 12 mm diameter rebar with 100 mm embedded length were cast and tested. For this, three replica specimens with two types of reinforcement namely, i) Uncoated steel ii) CPC coated steel were cast. To induce corrosion, additional five specimens with CPC coated steel rebars were cast with premixed chloride and cured for 28 days. During the curing period, continuous monitoring of corrosion potential and rate was done and degree of corrosion was assessed. The effect of degree of corrosion on bond of steel-concrete-coating interface was quantified. The CPC coated rebars without corrosion exhibited 10% bond reduction. CPC coated rebars with corrosion exhibited 30-70% reduction in bond strength. Also, the corrosion is found to adversely influence the stiffness of the bond. © 2018 The Authors, published by EDP Sciences.
