Abstract: Studies were conducted to understand the galvanic interactions between CFRP and steel in chloride-contaminated concrete. CFRP-pultruded rod samples (6 mm in diameter), #3 deformed plain rebar (PR, uncoated), and #4 ...

Abstract: Galvanic corrosion is a possible form of deterioration when carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and steel are in direct contact in concrete, as in stirrups tied to prestressing CFRP tendons. Laboratory ...

Abstract: Investigations have been conducted during the last three decades regarding chloride penetration and prediction of corrosion initiation. However, few investigations have dealt with corrosion propagation and/or residual life ...

Abstract: This paper presents experimental results from a novel study to investigate the feasibility of using a dual sacrificial anode cathodic protection (SACP) system that combined corrosion protection with strengthening. A ...
