• Abstract:
  Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete has been a constant and expensive maintenance problem which ; is exacerbated by Maine’s coastal environment, harsh winters, and the use of chlorides on the roads and ; bridges. Carbon fiber products are increasingly being used in many applications to replace steel in ; structures. Carbon fiber can be used as reinforcing in concrete slabs. Carbon reinforced polymer (CFRP) ; is non-corrosive and can be made into rigid bar and used as reinforcement. It is light in weight, strong, ; non-magnetic, and non-corrosive and also has a low thermal linear expansion coefficient. Carbon Fiber ; Composite Cable (CFCC) is a cable made with carbon fiber and polymer composite. As a pre-stressing or ; post tensioning strand it has relaxation properties very similar to that of steel. This material could prove to ; be a very good tool in our battle again corrosion in bridges.
