Paper Title
Effect Of FRP On Corrosion Of Reinforcing Bar In Reinforced Concrete

Abstract
A large number of reinforced concrete (RC) structures that have been damaged due to corrosion of steel reinforcements can be rehabilitated with fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) wraps. This paper presents the results of a comparative study between wrapped and unwrapped concrete cylinders. 3 specimens were wrapped with a layer of FRP and 1 specimen was kept unwrapped. The experiment was carried out in an electrochemical environment. Half celland current readings were taken on regular intervals. The experimental results showed that mass loss in wrapped specimens were considerably less in comparison to unwrapped specimen.
