Effect Of Pet Wrapping On Shear Performance Of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Columns, Dawei Zhang, Yuxi Zhao, Weiliang Jin, Tamon Ueda
International Conference on Durability of Concrete Structures
In this paper, an experimental study is presented on the influence of PET warping on shear performance, such as diagonal shear cracking load, peak load, and energy dissipation of RC columns with stirrup corrosion before strengthening. The experimental program involved an electrochemical process to accelerate the migration of chlorides from an external electrolyte into the tested columns, a wetting–drying cycle process with a controlled current to speed up the corrosion of the stirrup in the tested columns, the strengthening of corroded columns with PET warping, and a pseudostatic test to determine the shear capacity of the tested beams. The shear …
