| Abstract: | There is growing concern for corrosion damage in reinforced concrete structures with several decades’ service. Pullout tests
and beam tests were carried out to study the effect of reinforcement corrosion on the bond behavior and bending strength of
reinforced concrete beams. The bond strength of plain bars and concrete initially increases with increasing corrosion, then
declines. The turning point depends on the cracking of the concrete cover. The bond strength of deformed bars and concrete
increases with corrosion up to a certain amount, but with progressive increase in corrosion, the bond strength decreases,
and the cracking of the concrete cover seems to have no effect on the bond strength. On the basis of test data, the bond strength
coefficient recommended here, which, together with the bond strength of uncorroded steel bars and concrete, can be used to
easily calculate the bond strength of corroded steel bars and concrete. The bond strength coefficient proposed in this paper
can be used to study the bond stress-slip relationship of corroded steel bars and concrete. The bending strength of corroded
reinforced concrete beams declines with increasing reinforcement corrosion. Decreased bending strength of corroded RC beam
is due to reduction in steel bar cross section, reduction of yield strength of steel bar, and reduction of bond capacity between
steel bar and concrete.
