Abstract : Reinforced concrete structures are subjected to deterioration due to many factors such as corrosion of reinforcing steel. Ultimate strengths of structural elements can be greatly affected by these deteriorating factors. There are numerous methods and techniques used to protect these structural elements. The mortar layer (Plastering) is considered the first defense line against all the deteriorating factors. The main goal of this research is to investigate to what extent the plastering layer can protect reinforced concrete beams against corrosion. The aim of the experimental program is to study the effect of plastering layer on corrosion resistance of reinforced concrete beams. Four reinforced concrete beams (100×200×1100 mms) and four Lollypop specimens (cylinders 100×200 mms) were tested and described as follows: • A beam and a lollypop specimen without any plastering layer (control). • A beam and a lollypop specimen with traditional plastering layer (cement + sand + water). • A beam and a lollypop specimen with modified plastering (traditional plastering + waterproof admixtures). • A beam and a lollypop specimen with painted and modified plastering layer (traditional plastering + waterproof admixtures + external waterproof paint). These eight specimens were subjected to corrosion using accelerated corrosion technique, after that the four beams were tested in flexure under three point load arrangement while the four lollypops were used to calculate the total mass loss due to accelerated corrosion. The test results were used to figure out the effect of plastering layer on corrosion resistance of RC beams.

  • Research Centers

    With the growing emphasis on collaborative and interdisciplinary science, Research Centers have become indispensable to highly ranked universities. They gain their importance from the outstanding role they play in enhancing the academic activities, in general, and post graduate reputation and scientific ranking in particular. Realizing this fact, Future University in Egypt (FUE) have decided and allocated sufficient funds and infrastructure to establish FUE Research Center (FUERC) having the following vision, mission, and goals
