As the progress of theory and computer technology, nonlinear analysis is widely applied in civil engineering. Strip method, as one of the numerical methods, is used widely especially in the analysis of beams, columns and shell structures. The first half of this paper introduces the theoretical model and the basic assumptions of the strip method; the latter half of this paper compiles the strip method into computer program using FORTRAN language. At last, using beams with rectangular cross-section of reinforced concrete structures as an example, the paper analyze the factors, such as the strength of the steel bars, which have an impact on the bearing capacity of reinforced concrete structures.

The Magnetic Field

Steel is responsible for providing resistance to flexotraction to reinforced concrete structures. Steel is responsible for providing reinforced concrete structures with a flexural strength. For this reason, it is important to study its behaviour under different tensile states. This study used measuring equipment that was able to determine variations in magnetic properties of B500-SD steel bars during standard tensile tests. The magnetic field generated by a Helmholtz coil was collected through a secondary circuit. This enables the induced electromotive force to relate with the steel deflection stages when subjected to the tests. Moreover, it was possible to determine the variation of magnetic permeability when submitting 12mm and 16mm diameter bars to different tensile states. This method could prove extremely useful in determining the tensile state of ribbed steel bars that are embedded into the concrete structure.

An attempt has been made to measure existing steel stress using magnetoelasticity. A device has been developed and used for the measurement of magnetism in response to the deformation of a steel bar. The proposed technique can be used for the assessment of existing reinforced concrete structures by the measurements of steel stress embedded inside concrete. A traditional technique requires to break the existing steel bar to measure existing strain. However, the proposed technique is developed to measure the stress without damaging the steel bar. A successful application of magnetoelasticity depends on the establishment of relationship between elastic and magnetic response due to loading. To investigate the correlation between the two, steel bars are loaded in tension under uniaxial loading while the magnetic reading is recorded. Based on the test results, equations are suggested to predict stress for steel bars with different diameters.

Steel Bars

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures have the ability to be extremely durable and able to withstand a diversity of different environmental cases. However, failure in these structures still happens due to precocious reinforcement erosion. If steel reinforcement corrodes in concrete structures, this leads to a decrease in the lifetime and durability of these structures, which cause early failure of the structures, costing significantly to inspect and maintain the deteriorating structures. Then, monitoring of reinforcement corrosion is of great importance to prevent early failure of structures. Structures corrosion can be decreased through correct monitoring and taking appropriate control measures in the appropriate period of time. When steel bars corrode, the formation of rust causes the concrete to be separated from the steel and then thereafter. In case this issue is not addressed, it may influence the entire structure. This paper attempts to present a comprehensive review of corrosion of rebar in RC structures, its mechanisms, monitoring and prevention.

Corrosion Of Steel

The paper analyzes ways to ensure long service life (up to 50 years) of reinforced concrete marine structures. It has been established that durability and maintenance-free operation of floating and coastal offshore structures for 50 and more years depend on corrosion of steel reinforcement which could be avoided by applying electrochemical protection. The parameters of electrochemical protection against corrosion of steel fittings are given.

Abstract The use of mechanical splices to connect steel bars is an important solution in many infrastructure projects worldwide. In Brazil, this system is rarely used. The Brazilian standards regarding this subject are old and out of date; particularly with regard to the performance evaluation test methods for these splices in the laboratory. This paper presents and discusses the test procedure proposed in the international standard ISO 15835 [1] in light of the current procedure defined by Brazilian Standard ABNT NBR 8548 [2], applied to types of mechanical splices commonly used in Brazil: taper threaded and bolted couplers. Performance parameters for these mechanical splicing systems related to structural integrity in reinforced concrete structures are evaluated on the basis of the results obtained in these tests. In the end, it is intended that this paper provide support for discussion of design procedures and laboratory performance evaluation of couplers for mechanical splices of steel bars in reinforced concrete structures in future reviews of Brazilian standard ABNT NBR 8548 [2].
