Cyclic performance of large‐scale corroded reinforced concrete beams
Nine large‐scale beam specimens were constructed. Of which, one was used as the control, whereas the other eight ones were divided into four sets. Each set had two specimens and was subjected to accelerated corrosion using an imposed current for the same time interval. Following the corrosion, a specimen in each set was tested using cyclic loading to examine the seismic performance, whereas the other one was demolished to examine the extent of corrosion. Cyclic loading results indicated that with an increasing corrosion level, the ultimate drift, ductility, plastic rotation capacity, and energy dissipation of the beams initially increased and later decreased. The failure mode switched from flexural failure, largely owing to buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement to flexural‐shear failure, which is mainly caused by fracturing of the transverse reinforcement. Corrosion increased shear deformation and the spread of plasticity of the plastic hinge region. The residual flexural strength, as estimated by an empirical equation based on the maximum pit depth in the longitudinal reinforcement, closely corresponds to experimental values. Furthermore, the residual shear strength estimated based on the minimum reduced cross‐sectional area of transverse reinforcement correlates better with the experimental observations than that based on the weight loss.
