 Three, 152-mm wide by 152-mm high by 533-mm long beams specimens containing 13-mm diameter steel reinforcement were cast using a Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC) wet mixture. |
The reinforced beam specimens were identified as 960015, 960016, and 960017 and had concrete cover depths of 25 mm, 19 mm, and 10 mm, respectively. The specimens were cured in limewater for 28 days. In October 1996, specimens were installed at Treat Island, Maine, by WES to study the effects of seawater on the corrosion of mild steel that was placed in RPC at different depths. The performances of specimens are being evaluated via visual inspection and ultrasonic pulse velocity measurements (ASTM C 597). | |
