Corroded reinforced concrete (RC) members are repaired using ultrahigh toughness cementitious composite (UHTCC), and the bonding between corroded rebar and UHTCC has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of repaired members. In the present paper, the bond behaviors of UHTCC and corroded reinforcement obtained in a concrete environment were investigated via central pullout tests. Parameters including the corrosion ratio and the ratio of the cover thickness to the rebar diameter (c/d ) were varied. The experimental results revealed that, compared with concrete specimens, UHTCC specimens exhibited a higher nominalized bond strength and full bond-slip response with a slip plateau near the peak bond stress. The dependence of the bond strength on the corrosion ratio was correlated with c/d . Furthermore, at the considered corrosion levels, the residual bond strength and the bond toughness of the corroded rebar were higher than that of the noncorroded rebar. A bond-slip constitutive model derived from the existing models was proposed, and the predicted curves provided a reasonable description of the bond characteristics.

Adding cement to soft soils may lead to brittle behavior and the occurrence of sudden damage. Methods to further improve the tensile and flexural properties of cemented clay are noteworthy topics. This paper mainly focuses on the effect of cement and moisture content on the strength and flexural properties of cemented clay reinforced by PVA fiber. The selected clayey soil was a kaolin with cement content of 5%, 10%, and 15% and moisture content of 50%, 56%, 63%, and 70%. The results show that the incorporation of 0.6% fiber can effectively improve the deformability of cemented clay in unconfined compression tests (UCS). The strengthening effect of fiber, as seen in the peak strength and post-peak strength of UCS, was significantly related to cement content. As the water content increased, the compressive strength of the fiber-reinforced cemented clay decreased, but its load-bearing capacity enhanced. When the cement content was 15%, the splitting tensile strength of fiber-reinforced cemented specimens increased by 11% compared to cemented soil, but the deformability of the specimens became poor. In the cement-content interval from 5% to 10%, the bending toughness was significantly improved. Sufficient cement addition ensures the enhancement of PVA fibers on strength and flexural properties of cement-stabilized clayey soil.
