    Bond strength behaviour in reinforced concrete members exposed to corrosive environment - An overview
    (2013) Shetty, A.; Venkataramana, K.; Babu Narayan, K.S.; Kimura, Y.
    Bond resistance of reinforcing bars, embedded in concrete depends primarily on frictional resistance and mechanical interlock. Corrosion of rebars in concrete is one of the major problems in the durability criteria. Local bond stress slip relationship is generally adopted to determine the mechanical properties of the interface between re-bars and concrete. Therefore the attainment of satisfactory performance in bond is an important, aspect of the design and the detailing of reinforcement in structural components. In this paper an overview of factors affecting specimen geometry of bond strength and Types of bond tests were studied. © 2013 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY. All rights reserved.

    Experimental studies on the effects of corrosion on the flexural strength of RC beams
    (CAFET INNOVA Technical Society cafetinnova@gmail.com 1-2-18/103, Mohini Mansion, Gagan Mahal Road, Domalguda, Hyderabad 500029, 2014) Pandit, P.; Venkataramana, K.; BabuNarayan, K.S.; Parla, B.; Kimura, Y.
    RC structures are generally very durable and are capable of withstanding a variety of adverse environmental conditions. However, failures of these structures still occur and reinforcement corrosion is one of the major causes. In the present research, corroded Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) beams were tested in the laboratory to evaluate their flexural behavior. Accelerated corrosion technique was adopted to corrode the beams. The corrosion was measured using Applied Corrosion Monitoring (ACM) instrument. From the results, it is seen that, as the rate of corrosion increases, the load carrying capacity decreases. The deflection increases initially and then decreases. It is observed that the stiffness of the beams is reduced when rate of corrosion is increased due to changes in the modulus of elasticity of corroded steel. © 2014 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.

    Structural Health Monitoring techniques in civil engineering: An overview
    (CAFET INNOVA Technical Society cafetinnova@gmail.com 1-2-18/103, Mohini Mansion, Gagan Mahal Road, Domalguda, Hyderabad 500029, 2014) Bhavana Patel, S.S.; Venkataramana, K.; Babu Narayan, K.S.; Parla, B.; Kimura, Y.
    Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) is an emerging and promising technology for safety and integrity of structures. Vibration Based Monitoring (VBM) has gained more importance in the field of civil engineering as damage parameters are sensitive to vibration. This paper presents brief introduction on SHM and VBM. Traditional and advanced techniques adopted for damage identification, localization and quantification by various authors have been discussed. However it is still a challenging task for the researchers to develop a technique which gives efficient and reliable solution for a particular Structure. © 2014 CAFET-INNOVA TECHNICAL SOCIETY.
