Performance of PSGWC-Bars and other rebars reinforced columns

Abstract

In comparison to earlier concrete structures, recent decades' structures have experienced early deterioration. The majority of the time, this is due to the severe corrosion found in today's ribbed rebars. The adoption of PSGWC-bars, which have a plain surface and a gentle wave-type configuration, can extend the life of concrete structures by several times by reducing the rate of rebar corrosion. Beams strengthened with PSGWC-bars performed significantly better in tests conducted at several colleges. To establish its viability as a replacement for traditional rebars in columns, the load carrying capacity of PSGWC bars and other rebars must be tested. In this paper an attempt has been made to improve load carrying capacity of column with rebars. The impact of plain bars, epoxy coated plain bars, galvanised plain bars, PSGWC-bars of five different types, ribbed bars, epoxy coated ribbed bars, and ribbed bars with galvanising on the performance of sustainable columns was examined in this paper. It has been discovered that the use of PSGWC-bars increases load-carrying capacities in concrete columns as well.
