Chloride ion is an important corrosion factor in marine environment. Chloride ion has a small
radius and strong permeability, which can destroy the oxide film on the surface of marine …

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures located in aggressive environment, for example, RC
bridge piers close to the sea and experiencing chloride attacks, may be exposed to an …

Pitting corrosion impairs the mechanical behaviour of reinforcing steel bars (rebar), reducing
both the tensile strength and deformation capacity of the rebar. Existing models for …

In RC structures, rebar corrosion causes the cracking of the concrete cover and the
deterioration of the bond between the two materials. In this paper, a numerical model is …

Local corrosion damage reduces the load-bearing capacity of reinforcing bars and, even
more severely, their deformation capacity. These effects are mainly attributed to the reduced …

This paper presents a methodology to develop advanced reduction factors for the effective
mechanical properties of corroded steel reinforcement of reinforced concrete (RC) members …

Chloride‐induced corrosion of the reinforcement steel is the main degradation mechanism
for reinforced concrete, considerably affecting the load and deformation capacity of …

Many ageing reinforced concrete structures are affected by severe damage of reinforcing
bars due to corrosion. Accurate knowledge of the stress-strain characteristics of the installed …

This article presents the observed cyclic responses of three types of metal hysteretic, axial
dissipative devices (typically used with dissipative controlled rocking bridge piers) under …

An analytical model is proposed to predict the stress–strain relationship of confined concrete
subjected to reinforcement corrosion. The stress–strain graph of confined concrete with …
