Abstract:Corrosion in reinforced concrete structures is causing deterioration of our infrastructure. Structures in or near marine environments and transportation structures on which deicing salts are used are especially vulnerable. A widely promoted method for repairing damaged structures or for protecting structures in corrosive environments is the application of fiber-reinforced composite wraps over the surface of the concrete elements. In this report, material properties and installation procedures for two fiber-reinforced wrapping systems are described. A test program for evaluating their performance for long-term corrosion protection is discussed. A field research program to analyze the effects of composite wrapping systems on the corrosion process is described. Performance monitoring with various devices to help determine corrosion conditions before and after application of the wrapping system is discussed.
