Chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement has endangered the safety of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. It is, therefore, necessary to strengthen the corroded RC members to ensure structural safety. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of alkali-activated slag (AAS) ferrocement jackets in strengthening corroded RC columns. AAS ferrocement specimens with various layers of stainless steel wire mesh (SSWM) were subjected to direct tensile tests. Square RC columns suffered artificially accelerated corrosion and were subsequently strengthened by AAS ferrocement jackets. Axial compressive tests were conducted on the column specimens. Experimental results have shown that corroded specimens suffer severe losses in loading capacity up to 46% as compared with the control one. Volume fraction of transverse SSWM (

碱活化矿渣铁皮夹层加强锈蚀混凝土柱的轴压性能
氯化物引起的钢筋腐蚀已经危及钢筋混凝土(RC)结构的安全性。因此,有必要加强锈蚀的钢筋混凝土构件以确保结构安全。这项研究的目的是调查碱活化矿渣(AAS)钢筋护套对加固锈蚀RC柱的有效性。带有各种不锈钢丝网(SSWM)的AAS钢筋试样均经过直接拉伸测试。方形RC柱受到人为加速腐蚀,随后通过AAS防锈套进行加固。在圆柱试样上进行了轴向压缩试验。实验结果表明,与对照组相比,腐蚀后的试样在承受高达46%的载荷时会遭受严重损失。横向SSWM的体积分数(
