Evaluation of Variation in Parameters of Reinforced Concrete with the Incorporation of Alccofine-1203 and Crimped Steel Fibres
In this paper, half-cell potential method is applied to determine and highlight the corrosion growth extent, pattern and trends of corrosion developed in the experimentally casted reinforced concrete beam specimens. The impressed current technique was used to simulate corrosion in the beam specimens. The before (ideal) and after (damaged) damage induced states of specimens were compared with their flexural strengths calculated using centre point loading technique. The reinforcement bar mass loss was evaluated using Faraday’s law and also observing experimental data. The study also deals with the addition of two additives firstly Alccofine-1203 (ultra-fine slag) which replaces 20% cement and minimizes corrosion attack through its fine packing efficiency; secondly crimped steel fibres (about 1% of concrete weight) which mainly reduces the oxygen and moisture availability to reinforcement bars and ultimately hinders the electrochemical process developed on reinforced bars. The individual as well as combined effect of additives is observed.
