Finite Element Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Beams with Corrosion Subjected to Shear by Tanarat Potisuk, Christopher C. Higgins, Thomas H. Miller, Solomon C. Yim

“…Finite element (FE) modeling techniques were developed to isolate the different contributions of corrosion damage to structural response of experimental reinforced concrete beams with shear-dominated behavior. Corrosion-damage parameters included concrete cover spalling due to the expansion of corrosion products; uniform stirrup cross-sectional loss from corrosion; localized stirrup cross-sectional loss due to pitting; debonding of corrosion-damaged stirrups from the concrete. …”
