Abstract Details

2012, Master of Science in Engineering, University of Akron, Civil Engineering.
Corrosion is known to negatively affect the structural integrity of bridges, buildings, and other structures made of concrete. This corrosion damage is both dangerous to the public and expensive to the owner of the structure. This thesis explores the use of polypropylene or basalt fibers to improve the structural performance of concrete that has been subjected to corrosion damage. The use of polypropylene fibers in the concrete mix improves moment capacity and ductility of the tested concrete beams. The result for the basalt fiber also showed an improvement in moment capacity.
