Repair and rehabilitation of existing structures is becoming a major part of the present construction activities. Corrosion of reinforcement is a major contributing factor to the deterioration of reinforced concrete steel structure. Corrosion of reinforcing steel severely influences the bond at the steel-concrete interface. In marine environments and where de-icing salts are applied, the degradation of reinforced concrete structures due to chloride induced corrosion of the reinforcement is a major problem. The expansive nature of the corrosion process results in cracking of the concrete and eventually spalling. The aim of this project is to study the effect of corrosion on bond strength using pullout specimens. The Normal Portland Cement Concrete mixture is used to cast the cubes and in that MS and TMT steel is inserted having diameter 10mm, 12mm and 16 mm. Then that rebar was corroded by passing the current through them. For the corrosion NaCl solution of 5% concentration is used. To prevent the corrosion Epoxy Resin is applied on the rebar. The relationship between the bond strength and weight loss is studied
