Ductility of Eccentrically Compressed Elements of RC Frame Damaged by Corrosion under Accidental Impacts by S. Yu. Savin, V. I. Kolchunov, N. V. Fedorova

“…The article presents analytical dependences for estimating the limit value of the height of the compressed zone of the section of a corrosion-damaged reinforced concrete element of the building frame with a two-line approximation of the state diagram of concrete.It has been established that an increase in the depth of corrosion damage leads to a decrease in the height of the compressed section zone relative to the part of the working height of the section that retained the resource of force resistance, as well as to a decrease in the bearing capacity of eccentrically compressed reinforced concrete elements due to a decrease in the effective working height of the section and an increase in their flexibility. …”
