In this study, ends of reinforced concrete bridge damaged by the chloride attack was experimentally investigated. The effect of the lateral gradient was low. The results of this study will be used as a guideline for bridge maintenance to investigation of the characteristics of chloride penetration.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate strength and ductility capacity of strengthening using synthetic fiber rope as lateral reinforcement member of the concrete column and confirm possibility using it as alternative material of rebar. As a result, lateral binding effect of concrete column through synthetic fiber rope was shown to be insufficient.
