Use of Geopolymer and Carbon Fiber-Reinforced Polymer for Repairing Reinforced Concrete Deck Soffit

Abstract: This study aimed to assess the feasibility of utilizing geopolymer for repairing reinforced concrete beams. Three types of beam specimens were fabricated: benchmark specimens without any grooves, rectangular-grooved beams, and square-grooved beams. The repair materials employed included geopolymer material, and epoxy resin mortar, while carbon fiber sheets were used as reinforcement in select cases. The repair materials were applied to the rectangular and square-grooved specimens, with the carbon fiber sheets … Show more

“…This calcination process eradicates the hydroxyl groups in the kaolin, transforming it into a more reactive, amorphous MK, ideal for effective geopolymerization [ 37 , 38 , 39 ]. Additionally, an MK-based GP is particularly suitable for repair applications, given its mechanical properties closely resembling those of OPC and its superior tensile strength [ 40 , 41 , 42 ].…”

“…Reinforced concrete is used in structures subjected to tensile and bending efforts, generally with steel rods [2]. These reinforcements improve the system's behavior under tensile stresses, reducing the susceptibility to failure when the structures are exposed to the action of winds, thermal cycles, and traffic [3]. However, when steel is exposed to corrosive environments, a bond between steel and concrete is lost.…”
