Abstract
Combining the theoretical derivation and numerical calculations, the characteristic changes of the tensile constitutive relation of corroded steel bars and their underlying mechanisms are studied. Corroded steel bars are regarded as a combination of three parts, which include uncorroded part, corroded part with variable cross section, and uniform corroded part. It is assumed that in all three parts the steel material follows a simplified trilinear constitutive relation of a mild steel material (elasticity, yielding, and hardening), from which an analytical model describing the overall tensile constitutive relation of the corroded steel bar is developed. Based on the experimental data of slotted steel bars, the validation of the present analytical model is provided. The results show that the trilinear model can give relatively accurate prediction of the characteristic parameters of corroded steel bars. The influences of corrosion rate on the mechanical properties of corroded steel bars are examined using the proposed model.
