Introduction
Thecorrosionofsteelreinforcementisamajorcauseofthedeteriorationofreinforcedconcretestructuresthroughouttheworld.Inuncorrodedstructuresthebondbetweenthesteelreinforcementandtheconcreteensuresthatreinforcedconcreteactsinacompositemanner.However,whencorrosionofthesteeloccursthiscompositeperformanceisadverselyaffected.Thisisduetotheformationofcorrosionproductsonthesteelsurface,whichaffectthebondbetweenthesteelandtheconcrete.
Thedeteriorationofreinforcedconcreteischaracterizedbyageneralorlocalizedlossofsectiononthereinforcingbarsandtheformationofexpansivecorrosionproducts.Thisdeteriorationcanaffectstructuresinanumberofways;theproductionofexpansiveproductscreatestensilestresseswithintheconcrete,whichcanresultincrackingandspallingoftheconcretecover.Thiscrackingcanleadtoacceleratedingressoftheaggressiveagentscausingfurthercorrosion.Itcanalsoresultinalossofstrengthandstiffnessoftheconcretecover.Thecorrosionproductscanalsoaffectthebondstrengthbetweentheconcreteandthereinforcingsteel.Finallythecorrosionreducesthecrosssectionofthereinforcingsteel,whichcanaffecttheductilityofthesteelandtheloadbearingcapacity,whichcanultimatelyimpactupontheserviceabilityofthestructureandthestructuralcapacity[12,25].
Previousresearchhasinvestigatedtheimpactofcorrosiononbond[2–5,7,12,20,23–25,27,29],withanumberofmodelsbeingproposed[4,6,9,10,18,19,24,29].Themajorityofthisresearchhasfocusedontherelationshipbetweenthelevelofcorrosion(masslossofsteel)orthecurrentdensitydegree(corrosioncurrentappliedinacceleratedtesting)andcrackwidth,orontherelationshipbetweenbondstrengthandlevelofcorrosion.Otherresearchhasinvestigatedthemechanicalbehaviourofcorrodedsteel[1,11]andthefrictioncharacteristics[13].However,littleresearchhasfocusedontherelationshipbetweencrackwidthandbond[23,26,28],aparameterthatcanbemeasuredwithrelativeeaseonactualstructures.
Thecorrosionofthereinforcingsteelresultsintheformationofironoxideswhichoccupyalargervolumethanthatoftheparentmetal.Thisexpansioncreatestensilestresseswithinthesurroundingconcrete,eventuallyleadingtocrackingofthecoverconcrete.Oncecrackingoccursthereisalossofconfiningforcefromtheconcrete.Thissuggeststhatthelossofbondcapacitycouldberelatedtothelongitudinalcrackwidth[12].However,theuseofconfinementwithintheconcretecancounteractthislossofbondcapacitytoacertaindegree.Researchtodatehasprimarilyinvolvedspecimenswithconfinement.Thispaperreportsastudycomparingthelossofbondofspecimenswithandwithoutconfinement.
