Abstract

The effects of rebar corrosion on the structural behaviour of reinforced concrete structures were discussed based on recent experimental investigation. The load carrying capacity of the deteriorated beams was quantitatively estimated by evaluating the degree of rebar corrosion in terms of the average cross-sectional loss of longitudinal reinforcing bars and bond deterioration between corroded reinforcing bars and concrete.
