Popis: An experimental study was carried out to examine the non-uniform corrosion of plain steel bars in reinforced concrete beams partially placed in 5% sodium chloride solution under conditions of accelerated corrosion. 4 reinforced concrete beams with different concrete strength were made. The crack distributions of the beams due to pre-loads and expansion of corrosion product, and the sectional corrosion characteristics of plain steel bars are described in detail. The sectional area loss relating to mass loss and change along pure bending length of the beams are discussed. These can be used as the basis of test for further studies to build the numerical models of serviceability of corroded reinforced concrete beams.
