Consolidation of Concrete with Epoxy-Coated Reinforcement

摘要

The specific objectives of this testing are as follows: (1) assess the damage to211u001eepoxy-coated reinforcing bars produced by metallic head and rubber head 211u001evibrators; (2) assess the quality of consolidation obtained with rubber head 211u001evibrators as compared with metallic head vibrators; (3) determine the degree and 211u001equality of consolidation obtained with rubber head vibrators as compared with 211u001emetallic head vibrators through a visual examination and by measuring density of 211u001ecores from vibrated specimens; and (4) make recommendations on the appropriate 211u001etype of internal vibrator to be used in conjunction with epoxy-coated 211u001ereinforcement.
