Study on Bond Performance between Corroded Deformed Steel Bar and DS-ECC.

Abstract

In order to study the bond performance between desert sands engineered cementitious composites (DS-ECC) and corrosion steel bars, seven groups of specimens were designed and manufactured. Through the center pull-out test, the effects of different types of desert sands, the rate of corrosion (0, 5, 10 and 15%), and the anchorage length of steel bars (5d and 8d) on the bonding properties of DS-ECC and corrosion steel bars were studied. Moreover, a de-rusting agent was used to remove the corrosion, and three groups of specimens were pulled out from the center of the de-rusted steel bars. The results showed that both Tengger DS-ECC and Mu Us DS-ECC have good bond properties with corrosion steel bars. The bond stress slip curves between DS-ECC and corrosion steel bars can be divided into four stages: the micro-slip, slip stage, failure stage and residual stage. The bond stress slip curves between DS-ECC and de-rusted steel bars can be divided into the micro-slip stage, failure stage and residual stage, and splitting and pulling-out failure occurs in DS-ECC specimens. The ultimate bond strength is the highest when the corrosion rate is 5%. The bond toughness index is positively correlated with the anchorage length of steel bars, and negatively correlated with the corrosion rate of steel bars. According to the test results, the bond-slip mathematical relationship is established.
