As known, the Italian building heritage largely consists of reinforced concrete frames designed before the '80s, which are, in many cases, built in the absence of specific anti-seismic criteria.

Abstract

As known, the Italian building heritage largely consists of reinforced concrete frames designed before the '80s, which are, in many cases, built in the absence of specific anti-seismic criteria. Moreover, many of them, today, are characterized by bad structural conditions. Moreover, the problem of the structural conditions of the existing buildings, and their residual strength capacity, is often linked to the deterioration induced by the corrosive phenomena, which end up having a big impact on steel rebar mechanical properties. In this work, in order to investigate the influence of corrosion-damage on seismic response of existing reinforced concrete structures, a study has been carried out by analysing the non-linear behaviour of a reinforced concrete frame. The strength deterioration and reduction of the cross-section of steel rebar have been investigated and taken into account in the numerical analysis. This work shows the way in which the corrosion levels affected the push-over response, and the numerical results have been deeply analysed.
