Abstract:
Fatigue loading and steel corrosion have negative effects on the bond behavior. In this study, fatigue loading tests with a constant amplitude of 5 to 40 kN were carried out on eleven beam-type specimens after accelerated corrosion to different mass loss rates. Results show that as the mass loss rate for the tensile reinforcement increases, the maximum bond stress decreases but the actual applied stress level increases, and the maximum slip decreases with a decreased decrement caused by the accelerating effect of stress level relating to the significant cross-sectional loss at the mass loss rate of ≥ 6.50 % combined with the reducing effect of corrosion. Meanwhile, the maximum bond stress shows insignificant variation but the slip reduction caused by the steel corrosion decreases with the fatigue loading cycles. For both the un-corroded and corroded beams, a three-stage variation of maximum slip is presented, however, the proportion of the first stage for corroded specimens (about 5 %) is significantly smaller than that for un-corroded specimens (almost 10 %). The third stage begins when the maximum slip under fatigue load reaches the peak slip under static load. In addition, the maximum and residual slip variations during the fatigue loading process could be described by power functions, based on which, a bond fatigue life prediction model considering steel corrosion is proposed and verified. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
