Seismic Behaviour of Corroded RC Column

Nikitha ., Jikhil Joseph

Abstract


Corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete structures is a widespread issue that significantly impacts

the structural integrity and performance of these elements, particularly under seismic loading. This

study investigates the seismic behavior of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) columns.

The main objective is to assess the effects of corrosion-induced deterioration on the column’s load-carrying

capacity, stiffness, energy dissipation, and failure modes under seismic conditions.

The study aims to contribute to the understanding of the vulnerability of corroded RC columns to

seismic loading, providing valuable information for structural engineers and researchers in designing

retrofit strategies and assessing the safety of existing corroded structures. The findings underscore the

importance of considering corrosion effects in seismic design codes and guidelines, ultimately

promoting more resilient and sustainable infrastructure in corrosion-prone regions.
