dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to investigate the effect of extent of simulated uniform corrosion on reinforced concrete beams that have been patch repaired and strengthened in flexure. The most widespread cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures is due to corrosion of reinforcement (Bentur et al., 1997). According to Taljsten (2006) some reasons for the corrosion of structures can be attributed to incorrect design and poor construction methods, just to mention a few. Hollaway (2006) suggests that corrosion reduces the area of steel at the corrosion sites therefore decreasing load carrying capacity. The reduced steel area due to corrosion of steel in reinforced concrete beams is considered critical when it can lead to premature failure of a structure. Elgarf (1999) argues that large reductions in flexural capacity, strength and rigidity, which render a beam inadequate for serviceability loads are most likely to occur when localized pitting has extended to many sites resulting in extensive and relatively uniform levels of corrosion.en_ZA
