Abstract
In this research, the influence of reinforcement bars on concrete pore structure and compressive strength was experimentally investigated. Concrete samples with two mixture ratios and nine reinforcement ratios were provided. Tests were conducted on concrete pore structure and compressive strength at three ages (3 d, 7 d, and 28 d). It was found that reinforcement bars changed the concrete pore structure. In terms of size, the pore structure of concrete increased with the increase of reinforcement ratio. At the same age, concrete compressive strength in reinforced concrete specimens saw a gradual reduction when reinforcement ratio increased. A formula was proposed to calculate the compressive strength of concrete in reinforced specimens according to the strength of unreinforced concrete.
