Abnormal loads can produce localized damage that eventually cause progressive collapse of the whole reinforced concrete (RC) structure. This might have devastating financial repercussions and numerous severe casualties. Numerical simulation, using finite element method (FEM), consequences abnormal on buildings is thus required to avoid significant expenses associated with testing full-scale sav...

Abstract: This research examines the performance of strengthened non-uniformly corroded reinforced self-consolidating concrete (SCC) members. This paper focuses on three aspects of concrete including corrosion, concrete cover loss, and repair technique. Up to a 50% corrosion level is considered in this study. Corrosion was experimentally induced and was simulated in other cases. Twenty-six rein...
