Abstract: A new method for repairing corroded reinforced concrete columns using alkali-activated slag (“AAS”) ferrocement is proposed. Ten full-scale column specimens were prepared and seven of them suffered artificial accelerated corrosion at a mass loss of main reinforcement of 8.9 %. Three corroded specimens were subsequently strengthened. This is achieved by replacing concrete cover by AAS ferrocement jackets with two layers of stainless steel wire meshes (“SSWM”). The specimens were tested under axial, small and large eccentric compression, respectively. Experimental results have shown the corroded columns suffer loading capacity losses from 21 to 30 % as compared with the control specimens. AAS ferrocement jacket can enhance the loading capacity of corroded columns by 18 to 38 %. Confinement effect of AAS ferrocement is observed on specimens under axial and small eccentric compression.
