Corrosion Properties of Rebar Welded Joints

Article Preview

Abstract:

The main reason that causes the premature failure of concrete structure is rebar corrosion damage. Furthermore, the chloride ion penetration is the main reason of rebar corrosion damage. Stress corrosion in welding joint of rebar is studied. Separate rebar into 5 groups, each group have 3 pieces. Grouping experimental method is used to make welded joints soaked, compare the variation law of mechanical properties of flush welded joint under the influence of corrosive environment. Combining with Finite Element Analysis shows that a higher stress concentration during welding process is the important reason to the performance degradation of rebar in corrosive environments. Comparative tests have shown that stress corrosion cracking more likely occur in the welding zone and welding clamping position. The results show that the rebar production process must be strictly controlled, and effectively prevent the erosion of the corrosive medium to ensure the long-term safety of the building.
