This paper focuses on the surface morphology of low carbon steel plates with local
corrosion. Copper-accelerated acetic acid salt spray tests were carried out on 24 steel plate …

End-corrosion is typical damage to steel bridge piers, which will reduce the seismic
performance. Unlike overall uniform corrosion, end-corrosion results in more complex …

Through monotonic tensile tests and low-cycle loading tests on six groups of accelerated
corrosion specimens, the monotonic and low-cycle loading behaviour of corroded steel are …

This paper undertakes the experimental and numerical investigations on the degraded
mechanical behaviors of high performance steel (HPS) beams subjected to local corrosion …

Steel circular hollow section (CHS) bridge piers have been widely used in the engineering
practices. However, end corrosion is one of the most common damages to steel bridge piers …

No-core fiber (NCF) optic sensors are employed to monitor the under-coating corrosion of
painted structural steel for the first time considering three different diameters. The optic …

In corrosive environments, steel bridges demonstrate time-dependent seismic performance
and varied directional responses to bi-directional excitation at different life-cycle stages …

The seismic resilience of steel bridge piers can be weakened due to the ageing effect that
occurs throughout their entire life-cycle stage. Seismic strengthening is a practical approach …

An experimental study is carried out to investigate the degradation behavior of Q550E HPS
steel beams with corroded shear span. At first, tensile tests of 15 pieces of steel are …

Steel structures exposed to marine environments are vulnerable to corrosion, significantly
deteriorating the structural capacity. Specifically, column base plates are crucial components …
