A low-frequency cyclic horizontal loading test was conducted on circular reinforced concrete(RC) columns with different degrees of rebar corrosion.In the experiment
the seismic behavior of corroded circular RC columns under different axial loads
such as hysteresis loops
skeleton curves
stiffness
ductility and dissipating energy capacity
were studied
and the relationships between the seismic behavior
such as accumulated energy dissipation
yield load
ultimate load
maximum load
displacement ductility coefficient
and rebar corrosion extent
axial load ratio
were established.It is shown that the stiffness
ductility and energy dissipation capacity
as well as areas of hysteresis loops of corroded circular RC columns can be significantly reduced
and descending branch of skeleton curves can be steeper with the increase of rebar corrosion and axial pressure ratio.
