14 INFLUENCE OF CORROSION ON FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF PRETENSIONED NIB BEAMS Corrosion on the connection beam-plate When connection beamplate is lost due to corrosion FLEXURAL CAPACITY?

15 INFLUENCE OF CORROSION ON FLEXURAL BEHAVIOUR OF PRETENSIONED NIB BEAMS FLEXURAL FAILURE SHEAR FAILURE

16 SUMMARY AND FURTHER RESEARCH >190 precast, pretensioned bridges in Norway, which might already corrode In some of the bridges visual signs of corrosion were already found, while in some no signs of corrosion were found Pitting corrosion of the strands lead to changes not only in crosssection, but also in mechanical behaviour of the strands (including effect of SCC) When evaluating performance of corroded NIB beam, assumption of decreasing only the cross-section of strand layer can lead to overestimated breaking load (for relevant layer). In reality strand layer will break for lower load value, with different failure mode and much faster than assumed.

17 SUMMARY AND FURTHER RESEARCH Flexural response of the NIB beam signifficantly depends on the mechanical behaviour of corroded and uncorroded strands made of relevant type of steel used in considered bridges. POSSIBILITIES OF TENSILE TEST OF THE STRANDS? Breaking of one layer of strands cause progressive breaking of remaining layers of strands. Progressive breaking of remaining layers will depend on their corrosion level and arrangement of the strands. MORE RESEARCH NEEDED ON PROGRESSIVE BREAKING OF THE CORRODED STRAND LAYERS AS WELL AS ON THE INFLUENCE OF STRAND ARRANGEMENT. No experimental data available for flexural response of multilayered corroded pretensioned beams FUTURE POSSIBILITIES FOR BENDING TEST OF THE CORRODED NIB BEAM?

18 SUMMARY AND FURTHER RESEARCH RESEARCH NEEDED INCLUDING EFFECT OF MORE RELIABLE CORROSION DISTRIBUTION IN CROSS-SECTION POSSIBLE EFFECT OF STRESS REDISTRIBUTION AFTER BREAKING OF THE STRAND. POSSIBILITY FOR MORE FIELD INVESTIGATION TO CHECK AND QUANTIFY CORROSION LEVEL IN STRANDS FOR VARYING STRAND LOCATION? CHECKING THE INFLUENCE OF LOOSING THE COOPERATION WITH BRIDGE DECK ON THE LOAD BEARING CAPACITY OF THE PRETENSIONED BEAM. RESEARCH NEEDED ON INFLUENCE OF CORROSION ON SHEAR CAPACITY
