During concrete works, one detail that often goes unnoticed by non-engineers is the rebar chair. These small supports hold reinforcement bars at the correct height before and during concrete ...

Corroded reinforcement is the chief cause of concrete deterioration, which prompts subsequent repairs. For repairs to be sound, contractors must ensure adequate adhesion of new patch repair materials ...

The project conducted a series of experiments to investigate residual bond strength between rebar and concrete after exposure to high temperatures. A total of 15 beam-end specimens based on ASTM A944 ...

Corrosion of metal reinforcement is one of the most serious threats to the durability of concrete structures. While many excellent technologies delay and mitigate the effects of corrosion on embedded ...
