Once the concrete becomes neutralized, the metal bars can become susceptible to corrosion and an increase in volume, causing cracks in the structure. In some embodiments, the concrete is already cracked, and the metal bars are susceptible to corrosion. I some embodiments, older structures can become candidates for damage because the use of the structure changes over time.

It should be noted thai, for the wood beam wrapped with a composite comprising an eighth of an inch thick layer of polyurea, the strength drop was immediately followed by a recovery stress (hardening). This behavior is at least due in part to the viscoelastic nature of the polyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced pol mer composite and its interfacial chemical interaction.

- the approach for reinforcing substrates can be applied to a previously constructed structure and, more particularly, to an already damaged structure, in this example, a reinforced concrete shear wall was damaged under a cyclic load.
- the cyclic testing resulted in severe damage to the reinforced concrete- shear wall that included a three millimeter wide cross-crack and concrete crush at two of the botiom comers of the wail.
- the after-test load capacity of the wall dropped to approximately 40% of its peak value
- the shear wail substrate can. be prepared before retrofitting the substrate with the disclosed composite by, for example, grouting and crack injection.
- various portions of the shear wall substrate such as the cracked, crushed, and/or damaged portions of the substrate, can be retrofitted and reinforced with the poiyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite.
- the composite can be prepared and then attached to the substrate or, alternatively, the composite can be formed direciiy on the surface of the substrate.
- the results of the force-deflection response studies along the retrofitted and reinforced shear wall indicate that the use of poiyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite portions allow the shear wall to recover about 80% of the shear wall's original load capacity.
- the poiyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite provides a substantial increase in ductility. This increase in ductility allows the reinforced concrete shear wall to experience large deformations, where the energy dissipation properties of the poiyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite stabilized crack growth and sustained the high strength of the structure even after the concrete was crushed.
- EXAMPLE 7 Viscous Damping and Impact Resistance of Composite Wrapped. Substrates [ft 194] In this example, foam core substrates were used, where one foam core substrate was wrapped only with a carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric and one foam core substrate was wrapped with a poly urea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite of the disclosed subject matter . These foam core substrates were then subjected to impact resistance testing, where a high loading speed (a shock load) or 4 meters per second was used.

- the composite/substrate system can allow for a change in viscous damping ratio (e.g., the composite/substrate system has a different viscous damping ratio than the substrate alone).
- the polyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite provides viscous-typ damping to minimize vibrations during the testing.
- the properties of the composite material can be modified by varying time-related (t e ) and volume- fraction (h p ) polymeric properties.
- properties of the composite such as damping ratio, can be modified by controlling the thickness of the polyurea coating layer. Controllin the thickness of the polyurea coating layer can alter the volume .fraction of elasiomeric polyurea in the composite, which can. alter the properties of the resulting composite.
- time-related factors in the preparation of the composite material can affect the damping ratio of the composite as a whole, ⁇ hereby enabling the strength of the resulting load-bearing composite to be sustained at large deformations.
- the composite material may be modified during the fabrication of the composite material (e.g., method 200 of FIG. 2, method 300 of FIG. 3, etc.) to achieve desired properties.

- FIG. 15A the damping ratio is significantly greater for steel beams wrapped with the polyurea-coated carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite.
- I SA shows that the damping ratio of a steel beam wrapped with the polyurea-coaied carbon fiber reinforced polymer composiie can vary as a function of the thickness of the polyurea layer. Increasing the thickness of the polyurea layer (e.g., from l/32 isi of an inch to 1 /16'" of art inch), substantially increases the damping ratio.
- the curing time for forming the polyurea layer on the carbon fiber reinforced polymer fabric, where the composite was formed on a steel beam was varied between two hours and five hours.
- the damping ratio can vary as a function of time- related factors in the preparation of the composite material (t e ). It should be noted, however, that other properties, such as slightly greater stiffness, may be achieved by increasing the curing time.
- FIG, 1 SC shows that the damping ratio the polyurea-coaied carbon fiber reinforced polymer composite can vary as a function of the thickness of the polyurea layer, increasing the thickness of the polyurea layer (e.g., from l/16 to of an inch to I/8 a of an inch), substantially increases the damping ratio, in addition, die greater the thickness of the polyurea layer, the greater the strength and stiffness properties of the composite material. Accordingly, the thickness of the polyurea layer can be modified based o the desired properties of the resulting composite.
- FIG. J 5D shows that the curing time for forming the polyurea layer on the carbon, fiber reinforced pol mer fabric affects the damping ratio
- FIG. 15D shows that damping ratio decreases as curing time increases
- curing time can be modified to achieve a composite material having a desired range of damping ratio.
- the curing times used in making the composite can be modified based on the desired properties of the resulting composite.
