Abstract
This paper presents the evaluation of the effectiveness of Fiber Reinforced Cementitious Matrix (FRCM) repair in improving the bond behavior of corroded reinforced concrete beams under both static and fatigue loading. The study consisted of 30 full-scale beams, both corroded and uncorroded. The variables used in this study were corrosion level based on mass loss, repair method used, type of loading (monotonic or repeated loading), and load range applied. Corrosion was found to reduce the fatigue strength of reinforced concrete beams by introducing internal stresses in the concrete that ultimately cause reduction in the bond between the reinforcement and the surrounding concrete. FRCM was found to increase the fatigue strength of corroded concrete beams by providing confinement, thus making it an effective method for repairing beams damaged from corrosion. The use of a cementitious substrate with FRCM allowed for easier monitoring of the cracks developed in the concrete while testing.
