Effect of Corrosion Damage on Service Response of Bridge Girders Strengthened with Posttensioned NSM CFRP Strips
This paper presents the effect of corrosion damage on the service response of prestressed concrete bridge girders strengthened with posttensioned near-surface-mounted (NSM) carbon fiber–reinforced polymer (CFRP) strips. Three-dimensional finite-element modeling, validated against experimental data, is conducted to deterministically study the static and dynamic behavior of the girders subjected to chloride-induced corrosion for a period of 100 years. With an increase in corrosion damage, the efficacy of the posttensioned NSM CFRP augments from a serviceability perspective. Modal analysis identifies critical regions along the girder where strain localization occurs at certain dynamic excitation frequencies. The unstrengthened girders are more reactive to dynamic responses than their strengthened counterparts; however, both exhibit similar ride quality. Corrosion damage significantly decreases the equivalent flexural rigidity of the decrepit girders up to 30% relative to that of the control girders. The level of damage and the extent of the total potential for the strengthened girders are correlated with the magnitude of their fundamental frequencies.
