IMPROVEMENT FOR STRENGTH OF CORRODED STEEL PLATES WITH RESIN

Abstract

This paper presents a rehabilitation method on tensile strength of a corroded steel plate, which is reinforced by wire nettings or rebars with resin. In order to evaluate the effects of the method quantitatively, the rehabilitation work was conducted for the test plates with the same corroded surface made by drilling artificially. Ultimate behavior and tensile strength were investigated through axial tensile tests, changing the reinforcing condition. From the results, it was clarified that this rehabilitation method can enhance appropriately up to the tensile strength of the non-corroded plate.
