Nonlinear FEM Simulation of Structural Performance of Corroded RC Columns subjected to Axial Compression KU Leuven
This paper presents a numerical model for predicting the behaviour of reinforced concrete (RC) columns with corroded reinforcing steel subjected to axial compression. The influence of the steel corrosion on the mechanical properties of the rebars and the concrete (in the unconfined cover and the confined core) is taken into account in the numerical model. In addition, the premature buckling behaviour of the corroded longitudinal rebars under ...
