Influence of the Loading Speed on the Ductility Properties of Corroded Reinforcing Bars in Concrete

In this work 144 reinforcing bars of high-ductility steel named B500SD were subjected to an accelerated corrosion treatment and then tested under tension at different loading speeds in order to assess the effect of corrosion on the ductility properties of the rebars. Results showed that the bars wit...
