Corrosion of steel reinforcements in concrete is one of the main causes of early deterioration and reduction of service loads of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper reports the results of an experimental program that was carried out to evaluate the effect of reinforcement corrosion on the flexural performance of RC beams and to investigate the efficiency of externally bonded carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) sheets to repair the corrosion-damaged RC beams. Seven RC beams with the same cross section and reinforcement details were prepared including the control beam (B0). First tension reinforcements of six RC beams were corroded by using an accelerated impress-current process to obtain corrosion levels of 15% 30% and 50% of weight loss according to Faraday’s law. Then three beams were repaired using CFRP sheets attached to the bottom surface leaving the other three unrepaired. All beams were subjected to the four-point bending load test. The experimental results show that the corrosion specimens demonstrated a significant deterioration on the structural performance and the integrity by decreasing in their ultimate load capacity stiffness and ductility. The deterioration by corrosion of tension reinforcements can be successfully overcome using CFRP sheets as the repair material. The technique can restore the beam strength to its original design strength except specimen B50F2 having severe steel-corrosion damage of 50%. A conservative value of the ultimate bending capacity of the beams with low corrosions (15%-30%) can be predicted by using RC conventional models as suggested in ACI 318. However the opposite trend is obtained for the high corrosion beam (50%). Appling ACI 440.2R provision to predict the ultimate flexural capacity of corroded beams repaired with CFRP sheets shows rather fair values for low corrosions (15%-30%) but significantly overestimates the strength of the high corrosion beam (50%).

Deterioration of reinforced concrete deep beam structure caused by chloride is severe andtakes up wide area even though the structure is not exposed to sea water or brackish water. Even the structure which is far from sea water or brackish water is affected by this problem.When the reinforced concreate deep beam structure is affected by chloride steel reinforced inside the structure is corroded resulting in reducing the cross-sectional area of the reinforced steel affecting load capacity deflection and beam failure. If there is no repair or strengthening such capabilities are continuously reduced until it is no longer safe to use the beam. Therefore it is necessary to repair or strengthening the deteriorated structure to be safely used. This research investigated strengthening of deteriorated reinforced concrete deep beam caused by chloride with 4 formats of carbon Fiber sheets to seek guidelines for the most efficient strengthening. The resultshowed that the strengthening by the 4 format of carbon fiber sheet could increase ultimate loadcapability yet could not improve ductility of the deteriorated beam to become close to the beamthat is not deteriorated. The strengthening that could increase the maximum ultimate load capability was the table format strengthening. In addition the strengthening that the carbon fiber making 45 degrees with the length of the beam could best prevent diagonal cracks.

This research was to apply graphical method as the input data combined with using database for developing reinforced concrete slab analysis and design. Visual Basic language was used for creating the GUI (graphic user interface) and coding and database file was used for storing data. The position of beam column and slab can define by drawing on GUI and this program will automatic translate to be the distances for using as data in process of analysis and slab design. Results from analysis and design were compared with manual calculation that they are a litter bit error because of rounding error. Moreover they can be more economically and more conveniently than results from VisStructure 4

This research studies the development of Python Script which is the open source code used for the analysis design and draws the detailing of reinforced concrete beam elements. The SGV script was used for detailing the output of beam section. The results of the research shown the development of Python Script can be used for the analysis design and draw the reinforced concrete bean sections. The output of shear force diagram and bending moment diagram can be applied for design beam sections by the strength design method and draw the detailing of beam sections
