The volume increase that takes place when reinforcement in concrete corrodes causes
splitting stresses in the concrete. Thereby, the bond between the reinforcement and the …

The problem of the durability of reinforced concrete structures is arisen, dramatically, in the
last decades, showing that one of the most dangerous degradation phenomena is …

The effect of steel corrosion on bond between steel bars and the surrounding concrete was
investigated for different corrosion levels. Both pullout tests and finite element analysis were …

This paper presents a methodology to analyze the mechanical behavior and remaining load-
carrying capacity of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) structures. The methodology is used …

Corrosion of the reinforcement in concrete structures affects their structural capacity. This
problem affects many existing concrete bridges and climate change is expected to worsen …

To explore the nonlinear bond behavior between ribbed bar and concrete, considering
frictional resistance and the mechanical interlocking between rebar and concrete as well as …

This paper investigates, experimentally and numerically, the effect of fibre reinforcement on
the initiation of corrosion-induced cracks in concrete and the bond behaviour of corroded …

Bond deterioration is one of the major consequences of reinforcement corrosion in
reinforced concrete (RC) structures. In this paper, a two-phased numerical modelling …

Existing deteriorated reinforced concrete (RC) structures need strengthening to extend
service life. Fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) has been widely used to strengthen sound …

The corrosion, main cause of degradation in RC structures in non-exceptional conditions,
can have also significant effects on the seismic behaviour, leading to dangerous strain …
