Mechanical Performance versus Corrosion Damage Indicators for Corroded Steel Reinforcing Bars

Figure 5

(a) Comparison of stress-strain curves obtained from uncorroded (curves Uncorroded Ref.1, Ref.2, and Ref.3) and corroded (curves of specimens n°1, 2, 3, 4, and 6) specimens (B400C-16-TEMP, 90 days of corrosion, Lab. B), (b) comparison of the mean dissipated energy obtained from corroded and uncorroded specimens (B450C and B500B) for two different levels of imposed deformation and .
