2、, round, reinforcing steel bars due to damage, corrosion, or both. A similar procedure can be used to determine the section loss of deformed square and twisted square reinforcing steel bars due to damage, corrosion, or both. Reinforcing bar section loss is the loss of cross-sectional area that can r

Section loss is typically caused by corrosion of the reinforcing bar or construction damage, such as saw cutting or drilling into a reinforcing bar.Figure 2 shows examples of reinforcing bars with section loss.

These tasks should be performed by a licensed design professional based on a review of existing conditions (ACI 546R ACI Committee 564 2014).QuestionHow is the section loss of a corroded or damaged rein-forcing bar det

5、ermined?AnswerThe following steps are used to determine reinforcing bar section loss.1. Determine original reinforcing bar diameter (Do): There are several options for determining a reinforcing bars original diameter. If the original reinforcing steel size can be confirmed from existing design drawi

6、ngs, the nominal diameter can be determined based on the specified bar size. If the in-place reinforcing bar includes a legible bar size marking, the nominal diameter based on bar size can be used. For guidance, refer to ASTM A615/A615M and CRSI (2010, 2016). If the original reinforcing bar size is

7、unknown and cannot be determined based on the options mentioned previously, the method described as follows in Step 2 is used at a location on the bar where there is no perceived section loss (Fig. 3).2. Determine reinforcing bar diameter (Dc) in damaged/corroded area: To determine the reinforcing b

8、ars current diameter in damaged/corroded areas, first remove any scale or corrosion products from the reinforcing bar, then:(a) Select the location along the reinforcing bars with the most section loss. Several areas may have to be measured along the bar to determine the location with the most secti

9、on loss. Using calibrated caliper, take two measurements of the reinforcing bars diameter at the same location (Dc1and Dc1), with each measurement taken 90 degrees from the other (Fig. 4). Record each measurement to the nearest 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) and round to nearest 0.01 in. (0.25 mm).(b) Calculate

10、the average diameter (Dca) by taking the average of two measurements (Dc1and Dc2) (Eq. (1). Round average diameter to nearest 0.01 in. (0.25 mm).Fig. 1Section loss in reinforcing bar.American Concrete Institute Copyrighted Material www.concrete.org2 SECTION LOSS DETERMINATION OF DAMAGED OR CORRODED
