The mechanical response of the joint between a glass-fiber reinforced polymer （GRP） superstructure and a steel hull formed is examined and subsequently modified to improve performance through a combined program of modeling and testing. A finite-element model is developed to predict the response of the joint. The model takes into account the contact at the interface between different materials, progressive damage, large deformation theory, and a non-linear stress-strain relationship. To predict the progressive failure, the analysis combines Hashin failure criteria and maximum stress failure criteria. The results show stress response has a great influence on the strength and bearing of the joint. The Balsawood-steel interface is proved to be critical to the mechanical behavior of the joint. Good agreement between experimental results and numerical predictions is observed.展开更多

Many methods used today for assessment of reinforcement corrosion are based on electrochemical techniques that determine the free corrosion potential or polarization resistance. Most of these methods always consider the B value in Stern-Geary equation as constant. However, B changes with different condition. In this paper, potentialdynamic method is used to characterize the corrosion of reinforcing steel. The corrosion rate of Q235 carbon steel is measured with concrete environment. B is calculated real-time. By this way, the error of reinforcement corrosion rate is minimized.展开更多
