Rebar corrosion has been recognized as a major durability issue of the reinforced concrete
(RC) structures over recent decades, prompting the necessity to study the corrosion …

Corrosion of the reinforcement affects more than the cross-sectional area of the rebar. The
volume of steel also increases due to expansive corrosion products, leading to the cracking …

Fire is a frequent disaster, which performs the irreversible effects on mechanical properties
of structural steels. When the structure experiences a fire and does not collapse, it is …

Reinforcement corrosion and seismic damage considerably affect the seismic performance
of reinforced concrete (RC) members. In present research, five RC beam-column joints were …

The mechanical properties of stainless-clad bimetallic steel bars (SCBSBs), which consist of
S30408 stainless steel as the cladding metal and HRB400 carbon steel bars as the …

For reinforced-concrete (RC) structures in a corrosive environment, corrosion tends to occur
in the reinforcement, which has a significant adverse effect on the durability. Increasing the …

Reinforcing bar bond is of paramount importance for the structural integrity of reinforced
concrete and can be enhanced by fiber inclusion and self-prestressing. Previous research …

To evaluate seismic resistance of concrete structures with bimetallic steel bars (BSBs) over
the entire life cycle, it is important to clarify effects of corrosion ratio and fatigue strain …

Reinforcement corrosion is one of the main reasons for the deterioration of reinforced
concrete (RC) structure. Corroded RC beam-column joint experiences large deformations …

The bond strength between concrete and corroded steel reinforcement bar is one of the
main responsible factors that affect the ultimate load-carrying capacity of reinforced concrete …
