- Description
- In recent years, growing attention has been given to the effects of corrosion on reinforced concrete structures. Marine environment and de-icing salt are two causes chloride-induced corrosion. Basically, there are two types of steel reinforcement
corrosion called general and pitting corrosion. In real corroded reinforced concrete (RC) structures, a mix of the general and pitting corrosion usually takes place. Corrosion decreases the mechanical characteristics of steel reinforcing.
In this study, reduction factors of mechanical properties of steel reinforcement have been estimated through experimental monotonic tensile tests to take into consideration of eccentricity caused by pitting corrosion. Reduction factors have been defined to estimate the effect of corrosion on the reduction in mechanical properties of corroded steel bars. The reduction factors indicate the percentage reduction in the mechanical properties for 1% loss of cross-section area of steel reinforcement.
To meet this aim, pitting corrosion has been simulated by mechanically removing a portion of the cross section form 10mm, steel reinforcement. The reduction factors in terms of yield stress, ultimate stress, module of elasticity and elongation have been estimated from monotonic tensile tests. The relevant deterioration models have been
developed based on the experimental results, and have been used for section-level
analysis of a reinforced concrete bridge pier. The results of section-level analysis show degradation in moment-curvature and force-displacement of the corroded RC bridge pier due to pitting corrosion.
