An experimental study on the simulation of corrosion in large-scale reinforced concrete columns and their repair using carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets is presented. Seven columns were subjected to an accelerated corrosion regime, wrapped using CFRP sheets, then tested to structural failure and (or) subjected to further post-repair accelerated corrosion, monitoring, and testing. Accelerated corrosion was achieved by adding sodium chloride to the mixing water, applying a current to the reinforcement cage, and subjecting the specimens to cyclic wetting and drying. Results showed that the CFRP repair greatly improved the strength of the repaired member and retarded the rate of post-repair corrosion. Moreover, subjecting the repaired column to extensive, post-repair corrosion resulted in no loss of strength or stiffness and only a slight reduction in the ductility of the repaired member.Key words: accelerated corrosion, carbon fibre reinforced polymer, composites, corrosion damage, corrosion rate, external confinement, reinforced concrete columns.

Hybrid Simulations

The behaviour of bridge columns strengthened using carbon fibre–reinforced polymer composites has been studied extensively. However, few investigations have been conducted regarding the influence of carbon fibre–reinforced polymer-strengthened columns on the seismic behaviour of reinforced concrete continuous girder bridges. This article details the hybrid simulations of a continuous reinforced concrete girder bridge whose columns are strengthened by carbon fibre–reinforced polymer jackets. In the hybrid simulations, one ductile column is selected as the experimental element, which is represented by a 1/2.5-scale specimen, and the remaining bridge parts are simultaneously modelled in OpenSees (the Open System for Earthquake Engineering Simulation). After combining the experimental element and the numerical substructure, the hybrid analysis model is developed with the established hybrid simulation system. The displacements of the bridge and the lateral force–displacement response of the experimental element in hybrid simulation are obtained. Compared with the results of numerical simulation, the stability and accuracy of the established hybrid simulation system are demonstrated. Meanwhile, the comparative hybrid simulation results of the as-built bridge and the carbon fibre–reinforced polymer-strengthened bridge also prove the effectiveness of the carbon fibre–reinforced polymer jackets’ confinement in the continuous reinforced concrete girder bridge.
