Abstract: The coupled effect of corrosion and fatigue deteriorates the performance of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. This paper proposes a novel framework for the probabilistic life prediction of aging RC structures under ...

Abstract: This paper investigated the corrosion fatigue crack propagation mechanism of high-strength steel bar HRB400 in various corrosive environments. Fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests were conducted under different fatigue loading ...

Abstract: This paper systematically performed fatigue crack propagation (FCP) tests to investigate the corrosion fatigue crack propagation (CFCP) behavior of HRB400 steel bar. The fatigue loading scheme involved the constant amplitude ...

Abstract: Corrosion increases the nominal stress of reinforcing bars and accelerates the fatigue crack propagation. The stress redistribution induced by bond degradation between concrete and rebars makes the fatigue life prediction ...
