1 Introduction

e building seismic fortification requirements are graduallyimproving around the world and the buildings in strictaccordance with design and construction code also showedgood seismic performance during earthquakes But in recentyears the houses collapses highway cracks [1] and casu-alties caused by earthquakes are still high such as theWenchuan earthquake the India-Pakistan earthquake [2]and the Chilean earthquake [3] e postdisaster survey datashow that collapsed or severely damaged houses are mainlymultistorey masonry buildings or concrete frame structureswith relatively poor seismic performance [4]

Currently multistory masonry houses have been grad-ually restricted to be built and used in large and medium-sized cities while the reinforced concrete frame buildingsare still widely used in schools office buildings residentialbuildings street shops and other buildings due to theirflexible plan layout and strong adaptability With the in-crease of service years under the induction of externalcorrosion factors the material of reinforced concrete framestructure will deteriorate [5ndash8] resulting in the durabilitydamage (such as surface cracks [9] carbonization spalling

and steel corrosion [10]) Among which the corrosion ofsteel bar is regarded as the prime factor that affecting thedurability of concrete structures [11ndash13] Corrosion leads tothe degradation of geometric parameters and mechanicalproperties of the rebar and to some extent weaken the staticbearing capacity of a concrete structure and increase itsbrittleness Meanwhile the seismic performance will beinevitably impaired [14ndash17] erefore it is of importanttheoretical significance and engineering guiding value tostudy the degradation law of seismic performance of cor-roded reinforced concrete frame structures At the sametime it can also provide reference about the seismic per-formance evaluation and maintenance reinforcement for theold reinforced concrete frame structures in the seismic area

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) framestructure was built using SAP2000 software [18 19] enumerical simulation of the seismic performance of thecorroded RC frame structure was conducted using pushoveranalysis method [20] because pushover analysis method isthe most widely used and convenient method for the seismicperformance analysis of the middle-low level RC framestructure Pushover method is based on the structural static

2 Mechanical Properties of CorrodedReinforced Concrete Materials

21 Degradation of the Mechanical Properties of ConcreteCover A large number of experiments and theoreticalanalyses have shown that the concrete cover of a RC framestructure will be cracked and peeled off due to the role of rustexpansion force after the steel corrosion In addition itweakens the bond strength between the rebar and concretehence reducing the service life of the structure [22 23]Considering that the core concrete binding force of anordinary reinforced cement concrete member is mainly fromthe protective layer the cracking and peeling of the concretecover will reduce its restraint on the core concrete andfurther weaken the load and deformation capacity of themember erefore the degradation of mechanical prop-erties of the protective concrete cover should not be ignoredduring structural analysis Due to the strong randomcharacteristics of the deterioration of the cover concrete it isdifficult to use analytic methods to determine the degree andlocation of deterioration In order to simplify the calculation(1) is used here to calculate the strength of the cover concrete[24 25]

22 Degradation of the Corrosion Steel Bar MechanicalProperties Usually because the distribution of rust factors(such as cracks chloride ions and sulfate ions [26]) hassignificant random characteristics the corrosion status ofreinforcement in RC members often appears as pittingcorrosion Numerical analysis usually adopts the method ofequivalent uniform corrosion to deal with the degradation ofmechanical properties of pit corroded steel bars so as toimprove the accuracy of numerical simulation or theoreticalanalysis [27] It is assumed that the cross section of the rebaris in a uniform corrosion state but its mechanical propertiesare degradated according to the pit corrosion equation Inorder to consider the effect of pitting corrosion on themechanical properties of corroded rebar the nominal yieldstress and elastic modulus of the corroded rebar are cal-culated by (2) [28] and the ultimate stress and strain [29]can be calculated by (3)

in 4ndash6 storeys are 400times 400mm rectangular Figure 1 showsthe typical structural layout It can be seen that the buildingmodel is a typical biaxially symmetric structure ereforeto simplify the following computation only the plane framein axis ③-③ (Figure 1(b)) is selected to perform pushoveranalysis

According to Chinese Standard GB50011-2010 Code forSeismic Design of Buildings [30] the building is located inclass II site with the design earthquake group of 2 and thedesign basic acceleration of ground motion 020 g e loadsacting on the building are in strict accordance with ChineseStandard GB50009-2012 Load Code for the Design ofBuilding Structures [31] and the representative values of thegravity load are shown in Table 1

e design strength of concrete was C30 grade and thelongitudinal reinforcement was Grade II rebar (HRB335) whileGrade I rebar (HPB300) was used for the stirrups Figure 2shows the geometric parameters and the reinforcement layoutof the beams and columns e detailed design material pa-rameters and reinforcement parameters of the beams andcolumns are shown in Tables 2 and 3 respectively

32 Pushover AnalysisMethod Pushover analysis is a static-nonlinear analysis method [20] During pushover analysisa structure is subjected to lateral load which continuouslyincreases through elastic and inelastic behaviours until theultimate condition is reached e key thing here is that theplastic hinge theory plays an important role in pushover

analysis Plastic hinges are often used to simulate thenonlinear behaviour of the structure the plastic develop-ment degree of the plastic hinges is used to reect the plasticdevelopment degree of the structure In the SAP2000 pro-gram yielding and postyielding behaviour can be modelledusing either default hinges or user-dened hinges Eachhinge represents concentrated postyield behaviour in one ormore degrees of freedom Default hinges include uncoupledmoment (M) torsion (T) axial force (P) shear (V) hingesand coupled P-M2-M3 (or P-M-M) hinge which yields basedon the interaction of axial force and bending moments at thehinge location For the P-M-M hinge an interaction (yield)surface should be specied in the three-dimensional P-M2-M3 space that represents the rst yielding location fordierent combinations of axial force P minor moment M2and major moment M3 In the SAP2000 program the built-in default hinge properties for steel members are providedbased on FEMA-356 criteria [32] and the built-in defaulthinge properties for concrete members are generally basedon ATC-40 criteria [33] For the user-dened plastic hingesXTRACT [34] software is generally utilized to determine themoment-rotation curves for beam and P-M-M interactioncurves for columns When analyzing an RC frame structureplastic hinge regions are usually assigned to the ends of themembers For the beam element the plastic hinge is usuallyyielded only by the bending moment (M) and the plastichinge is generally considered by the axial force and the two-way bending moment correlation (P-M-M) for the columnelement When the default hinge is adopted to simulate the

nonlinear behavior of the structure only the inuence ofrebar corrosion on degradation law of the plastic hingeparameters can be considered However from the aboveanalysis it can be seen that the degradation of mechanicalproperties of the protective concrete cover should not beignored during the structural analysis e user-denedhinge can fully consider the eects of rebar corrosion andthe degradation of mechanical properties of the protectiveconcrete cover as well as the plastic hinge parametersdegradation law so we adopt a user-dened plastic hinges inthe nonlinear analysis of the structure

To determine the development of the plastic hinges onthe frame structure a force-displacement (moment-rotation)curve can be dened according to FEMA-356 criteria whichgives the yield value and the plastic deformation following

yield is is done in terms of a curve with values at vepoints A-B-C-D-E as shown in Figure 3

As is suggested by Figure 3 there are four line segments(ie AB BC CD and DE) in the skeleton curve repre-senting the elastic stage the strengthening stage theunloading stage and the failure stage respectively More-over FEMA-356 criteria also set three performance points(ie IO LS and CP) between the characteristic points B andC IO is the abbreviation for ldquoImmediate Occupancyrdquo whichmeans that the structure is in the serviceability limit state LSis the abbreviation for ldquoLife Safetyrdquo which means that thestructure is close to the safety limit state CP is the

33 Pushover Analysis Results

331 Comparison of the P-M-M Curves between DefaultHinges and User-Dened Plastic Hinges In view of the bi-axial symmetry of the cross section of the noncorroded framecolumn Figure 4 presents only the correlation curve of theaxial force P and the major moment M3 in the x direction ofthe column section It can be seen that the P-M-M curvesobtained by user-dened plastic hinge are in good agreementwith those by the built-in default hinge in SAP2000 software

Table 4 provides the parameters of the P-M-M curves ofthe noncorroded column section It can be seen from Figure 4and Table 4 that the computed key-point parameters of theP-M-M curves using user-dened hinge are generally con-sistent with those acquired by the built-in default hinge inSAP2000 software e maximum discrepancy is within 5is indicated that the user-dened hinge has relatively higherprecision and can be used in the subsequent analysis

332 Comparison of the Pushover Analysis Results betweenDefault Hinges and User-Dened Hinges Considering thatthe load pattern may aect the pushover analysis results dra-matically it is important to consider at least two dierent lateralpushover cases to represent dierent sequences of response thatcould occur during dynamic loading [29] erefore thepushover analysis in this paper should be performed using bothof the following lateral load patterns the uniform patterncorresponding to uniform unidirectional lateral accelerationand the 1st modal patterne 1st modal pattern is a pattern offorces on the joints that is proportional to the product of thefundamental mode shape times its circular frequency squaredtimes the mass tributary to the joint In view of the remarkablematerial nonlinear of concrete the load pattern based ondisplacement control is chosen in this paper to avoid troubleconverging e pushover curves for the plane frame in axis③-③ under dierent load patterns are shown in Figure 5

From the simulation results in Figure 5 we can see thatalthough the pushover curves of the frame are quite dierentunder dierent lateral load patterns the pushover curves

obtained by using user-dened hinges almost exactly co-incide with those by using the default plastic hinges inSAP2000 under the same lateral load pattern

Table 5 gives the calculation results of the elastoplasticinterstory drift ratios of the noncorroded plane frame underrare earthquake action From Table 5 it could also be seenthat the story drift ratios obtained by using user-denedhinges are generally consistent with those obtained by usingthe default hinges in SAP2000 under the same lateral loadpattern e maximum discrepancy is less than 5 and themaximum story drift ratio is very close to 1120 which canmeet the code requirement [32]

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

As shown in Figures 7 and 8 there are 6 segments(ie B-IO IO-LS LS-CP CP-C C-D and D-E) in the legendband Each legend band is represented by a dierent colourwhich can help the reader to judge the damage state of thestructure or member For example it can be seen from theframe gure that there are pink points blue points andgreen points in the frame beams and columns which aredistributed in the B-IO segment IO-LS segment and LS-CPsegment of the legend band respectively ereforeaccording to the explanation shown in Figure 3 we candetermine the stress states of these points as the service-ability stage the safety stage and the prevention of thecollapse stage respectively

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

2 Mechanical Properties of CorrodedReinforced Concrete Materials

21 Degradation of the Mechanical Properties of ConcreteCover A large number of experiments and theoreticalanalyses have shown that the concrete cover of a RC framestructure will be cracked and peeled off due to the role of rustexpansion force after the steel corrosion In addition itweakens the bond strength between the rebar and concretehence reducing the service life of the structure [22 23]Considering that the core concrete binding force of anordinary reinforced cement concrete member is mainly fromthe protective layer the cracking and peeling of the concretecover will reduce its restraint on the core concrete andfurther weaken the load and deformation capacity of themember erefore the degradation of mechanical prop-erties of the protective concrete cover should not be ignoredduring structural analysis Due to the strong randomcharacteristics of the deterioration of the cover concrete it isdifficult to use analytic methods to determine the degree andlocation of deterioration In order to simplify the calculation(1) is used here to calculate the strength of the cover concrete[24 25]

22 Degradation of the Corrosion Steel Bar MechanicalProperties Usually because the distribution of rust factors(such as cracks chloride ions and sulfate ions [26]) hassignificant random characteristics the corrosion status ofreinforcement in RC members often appears as pittingcorrosion Numerical analysis usually adopts the method ofequivalent uniform corrosion to deal with the degradation ofmechanical properties of pit corroded steel bars so as toimprove the accuracy of numerical simulation or theoreticalanalysis [27] It is assumed that the cross section of the rebaris in a uniform corrosion state but its mechanical propertiesare degradated according to the pit corrosion equation Inorder to consider the effect of pitting corrosion on themechanical properties of corroded rebar the nominal yieldstress and elastic modulus of the corroded rebar are cal-culated by (2) [28] and the ultimate stress and strain [29]can be calculated by (3)

According to Chinese Standard GB50011-2010 Code forSeismic Design of Buildings [30] the building is located inclass II site with the design earthquake group of 2 and thedesign basic acceleration of ground motion 020 g e loadsacting on the building are in strict accordance with ChineseStandard GB50009-2012 Load Code for the Design ofBuilding Structures [31] and the representative values of thegravity load are shown in Table 1

e design strength of concrete was C30 grade and thelongitudinal reinforcement was Grade II rebar (HRB335) whileGrade I rebar (HPB300) was used for the stirrups Figure 2shows the geometric parameters and the reinforcement layoutof the beams and columns e detailed design material pa-rameters and reinforcement parameters of the beams andcolumns are shown in Tables 2 and 3 respectively

32 Pushover AnalysisMethod Pushover analysis is a static-nonlinear analysis method [20] During pushover analysisa structure is subjected to lateral load which continuouslyincreases through elastic and inelastic behaviours until theultimate condition is reached e key thing here is that theplastic hinge theory plays an important role in pushover

analysis Plastic hinges are often used to simulate thenonlinear behaviour of the structure the plastic develop-ment degree of the plastic hinges is used to reect the plasticdevelopment degree of the structure In the SAP2000 pro-gram yielding and postyielding behaviour can be modelledusing either default hinges or user-dened hinges Eachhinge represents concentrated postyield behaviour in one ormore degrees of freedom Default hinges include uncoupledmoment (M) torsion (T) axial force (P) shear (V) hingesand coupled P-M2-M3 (or P-M-M) hinge which yields basedon the interaction of axial force and bending moments at thehinge location For the P-M-M hinge an interaction (yield)surface should be specied in the three-dimensional P-M2-M3 space that represents the rst yielding location fordierent combinations of axial force P minor moment M2and major moment M3 In the SAP2000 program the built-in default hinge properties for steel members are providedbased on FEMA-356 criteria [32] and the built-in defaulthinge properties for concrete members are generally basedon ATC-40 criteria [33] For the user-dened plastic hingesXTRACT [34] software is generally utilized to determine themoment-rotation curves for beam and P-M-M interactioncurves for columns When analyzing an RC frame structureplastic hinge regions are usually assigned to the ends of themembers For the beam element the plastic hinge is usuallyyielded only by the bending moment (M) and the plastichinge is generally considered by the axial force and the two-way bending moment correlation (P-M-M) for the columnelement When the default hinge is adopted to simulate the

nonlinear behavior of the structure only the inuence ofrebar corrosion on degradation law of the plastic hingeparameters can be considered However from the aboveanalysis it can be seen that the degradation of mechanicalproperties of the protective concrete cover should not beignored during the structural analysis e user-denedhinge can fully consider the eects of rebar corrosion andthe degradation of mechanical properties of the protectiveconcrete cover as well as the plastic hinge parametersdegradation law so we adopt a user-dened plastic hinges inthe nonlinear analysis of the structure

To determine the development of the plastic hinges onthe frame structure a force-displacement (moment-rotation)curve can be dened according to FEMA-356 criteria whichgives the yield value and the plastic deformation following

yield is is done in terms of a curve with values at vepoints A-B-C-D-E as shown in Figure 3

As is suggested by Figure 3 there are four line segments(ie AB BC CD and DE) in the skeleton curve repre-senting the elastic stage the strengthening stage theunloading stage and the failure stage respectively More-over FEMA-356 criteria also set three performance points(ie IO LS and CP) between the characteristic points B andC IO is the abbreviation for ldquoImmediate Occupancyrdquo whichmeans that the structure is in the serviceability limit state LSis the abbreviation for ldquoLife Safetyrdquo which means that thestructure is close to the safety limit state CP is the

331 Comparison of the P-M-M Curves between DefaultHinges and User-Dened Plastic Hinges In view of the bi-axial symmetry of the cross section of the noncorroded framecolumn Figure 4 presents only the correlation curve of theaxial force P and the major moment M3 in the x direction ofthe column section It can be seen that the P-M-M curvesobtained by user-dened plastic hinge are in good agreementwith those by the built-in default hinge in SAP2000 software

Table 4 provides the parameters of the P-M-M curves ofthe noncorroded column section It can be seen from Figure 4and Table 4 that the computed key-point parameters of theP-M-M curves using user-dened hinge are generally con-sistent with those acquired by the built-in default hinge inSAP2000 software e maximum discrepancy is within 5is indicated that the user-dened hinge has relatively higherprecision and can be used in the subsequent analysis

332 Comparison of the Pushover Analysis Results betweenDefault Hinges and User-Dened Hinges Considering thatthe load pattern may aect the pushover analysis results dra-matically it is important to consider at least two dierent lateralpushover cases to represent dierent sequences of response thatcould occur during dynamic loading [29] erefore thepushover analysis in this paper should be performed using bothof the following lateral load patterns the uniform patterncorresponding to uniform unidirectional lateral accelerationand the 1st modal patterne 1st modal pattern is a pattern offorces on the joints that is proportional to the product of thefundamental mode shape times its circular frequency squaredtimes the mass tributary to the joint In view of the remarkablematerial nonlinear of concrete the load pattern based ondisplacement control is chosen in this paper to avoid troubleconverging e pushover curves for the plane frame in axis③-③ under dierent load patterns are shown in Figure 5

From the simulation results in Figure 5 we can see thatalthough the pushover curves of the frame are quite dierentunder dierent lateral load patterns the pushover curves

obtained by using user-dened hinges almost exactly co-incide with those by using the default plastic hinges inSAP2000 under the same lateral load pattern

Table 5 gives the calculation results of the elastoplasticinterstory drift ratios of the noncorroded plane frame underrare earthquake action From Table 5 it could also be seenthat the story drift ratios obtained by using user-denedhinges are generally consistent with those obtained by usingthe default hinges in SAP2000 under the same lateral loadpattern e maximum discrepancy is less than 5 and themaximum story drift ratio is very close to 1120 which canmeet the code requirement [32]

corroded beam and columns To simplify the followingcomputation in this paper the P-M-M interaction curvesfor dierent corroded RC columns are calculated using user-dened hinge with the help of XTRACT software while themoment curvature (M3) for dierent corroded RC beamscan be obtained using user-dened hinge by literature [35]

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

411 Degradation of the P-M-M Curves of Corroded ColumnUsing User-Dened Hinge According to the parameters inTable 6 the P-M-M curves of the RC column under dierentdegrees of corrosion can be obtained and the results areshown in Figure 6 It can be seen that with an increasedcorrosion rate the ultimate bearing capacity of compression

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

As shown in Figures 7 and 8 there are 6 segments(ie B-IO IO-LS LS-CP CP-C C-D and D-E) in the legendband Each legend band is represented by a dierent colourwhich can help the reader to judge the damage state of thestructure or member For example it can be seen from theframe gure that there are pink points blue points andgreen points in the frame beams and columns which aredistributed in the B-IO segment IO-LS segment and LS-CPsegment of the legend band respectively ereforeaccording to the explanation shown in Figure 3 we candetermine the stress states of these points as the service-ability stage the safety stage and the prevention of thecollapse stage respectively

422 Degradation of the Seismic Performance of the Cor-roded Structure under Rare Earthquake Action Figure 9provides the pushover curves for the corroded frameunder dierent degrees of corrosion It is easy to see thatthe trend of the pushover curves and the degradation lawsare basically the same despite the slight dierence of thecurves under dierent lateral load patterns Table 9 liststhe values of seismic bearing capacity of the frame underdierent corrosion rates From the results in Figure 9 andTable 9 it can be concluded that the seismic bearingcapacity of the corroded frame decreased signicantly dueto corrosion of its rebars In addition with increasingrebar corrosion rate the degradation of the bearing ca-pacity gradually increased

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

e design strength of concrete was C30 grade and thelongitudinal reinforcement was Grade II rebar (HRB335) whileGrade I rebar (HPB300) was used for the stirrups Figure 2shows the geometric parameters and the reinforcement layoutof the beams and columns e detailed design material pa-rameters and reinforcement parameters of the beams andcolumns are shown in Tables 2 and 3 respectively

32 Pushover AnalysisMethod Pushover analysis is a static-nonlinear analysis method [20] During pushover analysisa structure is subjected to lateral load which continuouslyincreases through elastic and inelastic behaviours until theultimate condition is reached e key thing here is that theplastic hinge theory plays an important role in pushover

analysis Plastic hinges are often used to simulate thenonlinear behaviour of the structure the plastic develop-ment degree of the plastic hinges is used to reect the plasticdevelopment degree of the structure In the SAP2000 pro-gram yielding and postyielding behaviour can be modelledusing either default hinges or user-dened hinges Eachhinge represents concentrated postyield behaviour in one ormore degrees of freedom Default hinges include uncoupledmoment (M) torsion (T) axial force (P) shear (V) hingesand coupled P-M2-M3 (or P-M-M) hinge which yields basedon the interaction of axial force and bending moments at thehinge location For the P-M-M hinge an interaction (yield)surface should be specied in the three-dimensional P-M2-M3 space that represents the rst yielding location fordierent combinations of axial force P minor moment M2and major moment M3 In the SAP2000 program the built-in default hinge properties for steel members are providedbased on FEMA-356 criteria [32] and the built-in defaulthinge properties for concrete members are generally basedon ATC-40 criteria [33] For the user-dened plastic hingesXTRACT [34] software is generally utilized to determine themoment-rotation curves for beam and P-M-M interactioncurves for columns When analyzing an RC frame structureplastic hinge regions are usually assigned to the ends of themembers For the beam element the plastic hinge is usuallyyielded only by the bending moment (M) and the plastichinge is generally considered by the axial force and the two-way bending moment correlation (P-M-M) for the columnelement When the default hinge is adopted to simulate the

nonlinear behavior of the structure only the inuence ofrebar corrosion on degradation law of the plastic hingeparameters can be considered However from the aboveanalysis it can be seen that the degradation of mechanicalproperties of the protective concrete cover should not beignored during the structural analysis e user-denedhinge can fully consider the eects of rebar corrosion andthe degradation of mechanical properties of the protectiveconcrete cover as well as the plastic hinge parametersdegradation law so we adopt a user-dened plastic hinges inthe nonlinear analysis of the structure

To determine the development of the plastic hinges onthe frame structure a force-displacement (moment-rotation)curve can be dened according to FEMA-356 criteria whichgives the yield value and the plastic deformation following

yield is is done in terms of a curve with values at vepoints A-B-C-D-E as shown in Figure 3

As is suggested by Figure 3 there are four line segments(ie AB BC CD and DE) in the skeleton curve repre-senting the elastic stage the strengthening stage theunloading stage and the failure stage respectively More-over FEMA-356 criteria also set three performance points(ie IO LS and CP) between the characteristic points B andC IO is the abbreviation for ldquoImmediate Occupancyrdquo whichmeans that the structure is in the serviceability limit state LSis the abbreviation for ldquoLife Safetyrdquo which means that thestructure is close to the safety limit state CP is the

33 Pushover Analysis Results

331 Comparison of the P-M-M Curves between DefaultHinges and User-Dened Plastic Hinges In view of the bi-axial symmetry of the cross section of the noncorroded framecolumn Figure 4 presents only the correlation curve of theaxial force P and the major moment M3 in the x direction ofthe column section It can be seen that the P-M-M curvesobtained by user-dened plastic hinge are in good agreementwith those by the built-in default hinge in SAP2000 software

Table 4 provides the parameters of the P-M-M curves ofthe noncorroded column section It can be seen from Figure 4and Table 4 that the computed key-point parameters of theP-M-M curves using user-dened hinge are generally con-sistent with those acquired by the built-in default hinge inSAP2000 software e maximum discrepancy is within 5is indicated that the user-dened hinge has relatively higherprecision and can be used in the subsequent analysis

332 Comparison of the Pushover Analysis Results betweenDefault Hinges and User-Dened Hinges Considering thatthe load pattern may aect the pushover analysis results dra-matically it is important to consider at least two dierent lateralpushover cases to represent dierent sequences of response thatcould occur during dynamic loading [29] erefore thepushover analysis in this paper should be performed using bothof the following lateral load patterns the uniform patterncorresponding to uniform unidirectional lateral accelerationand the 1st modal patterne 1st modal pattern is a pattern offorces on the joints that is proportional to the product of thefundamental mode shape times its circular frequency squaredtimes the mass tributary to the joint In view of the remarkablematerial nonlinear of concrete the load pattern based ondisplacement control is chosen in this paper to avoid troubleconverging e pushover curves for the plane frame in axis③-③ under dierent load patterns are shown in Figure 5

From the simulation results in Figure 5 we can see thatalthough the pushover curves of the frame are quite dierentunder dierent lateral load patterns the pushover curves

obtained by using user-dened hinges almost exactly co-incide with those by using the default plastic hinges inSAP2000 under the same lateral load pattern

Table 5 gives the calculation results of the elastoplasticinterstory drift ratios of the noncorroded plane frame underrare earthquake action From Table 5 it could also be seenthat the story drift ratios obtained by using user-denedhinges are generally consistent with those obtained by usingthe default hinges in SAP2000 under the same lateral loadpattern e maximum discrepancy is less than 5 and themaximum story drift ratio is very close to 1120 which canmeet the code requirement [32]

corroded beam and columns To simplify the followingcomputation in this paper the P-M-M interaction curvesfor dierent corroded RC columns are calculated using user-dened hinge with the help of XTRACT software while themoment curvature (M3) for dierent corroded RC beamscan be obtained using user-dened hinge by literature [35]

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

411 Degradation of the P-M-M Curves of Corroded ColumnUsing User-Dened Hinge According to the parameters inTable 6 the P-M-M curves of the RC column under dierentdegrees of corrosion can be obtained and the results areshown in Figure 6 It can be seen that with an increasedcorrosion rate the ultimate bearing capacity of compression

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

nonlinear behavior of the structure only the inuence ofrebar corrosion on degradation law of the plastic hingeparameters can be considered However from the aboveanalysis it can be seen that the degradation of mechanicalproperties of the protective concrete cover should not beignored during the structural analysis e user-denedhinge can fully consider the eects of rebar corrosion andthe degradation of mechanical properties of the protectiveconcrete cover as well as the plastic hinge parametersdegradation law so we adopt a user-dened plastic hinges inthe nonlinear analysis of the structure

To determine the development of the plastic hinges onthe frame structure a force-displacement (moment-rotation)curve can be dened according to FEMA-356 criteria whichgives the yield value and the plastic deformation following

yield is is done in terms of a curve with values at vepoints A-B-C-D-E as shown in Figure 3

As is suggested by Figure 3 there are four line segments(ie AB BC CD and DE) in the skeleton curve repre-senting the elastic stage the strengthening stage theunloading stage and the failure stage respectively More-over FEMA-356 criteria also set three performance points(ie IO LS and CP) between the characteristic points B andC IO is the abbreviation for ldquoImmediate Occupancyrdquo whichmeans that the structure is in the serviceability limit state LSis the abbreviation for ldquoLife Safetyrdquo which means that thestructure is close to the safety limit state CP is the

33 Pushover Analysis Results

331 Comparison of the P-M-M Curves between DefaultHinges and User-Dened Plastic Hinges In view of the bi-axial symmetry of the cross section of the noncorroded framecolumn Figure 4 presents only the correlation curve of theaxial force P and the major moment M3 in the x direction ofthe column section It can be seen that the P-M-M curvesobtained by user-dened plastic hinge are in good agreementwith those by the built-in default hinge in SAP2000 software

Table 4 provides the parameters of the P-M-M curves ofthe noncorroded column section It can be seen from Figure 4and Table 4 that the computed key-point parameters of theP-M-M curves using user-dened hinge are generally con-sistent with those acquired by the built-in default hinge inSAP2000 software e maximum discrepancy is within 5is indicated that the user-dened hinge has relatively higherprecision and can be used in the subsequent analysis

332 Comparison of the Pushover Analysis Results betweenDefault Hinges and User-Dened Hinges Considering thatthe load pattern may aect the pushover analysis results dra-matically it is important to consider at least two dierent lateralpushover cases to represent dierent sequences of response thatcould occur during dynamic loading [29] erefore thepushover analysis in this paper should be performed using bothof the following lateral load patterns the uniform patterncorresponding to uniform unidirectional lateral accelerationand the 1st modal patterne 1st modal pattern is a pattern offorces on the joints that is proportional to the product of thefundamental mode shape times its circular frequency squaredtimes the mass tributary to the joint In view of the remarkablematerial nonlinear of concrete the load pattern based ondisplacement control is chosen in this paper to avoid troubleconverging e pushover curves for the plane frame in axis③-③ under dierent load patterns are shown in Figure 5

From the simulation results in Figure 5 we can see thatalthough the pushover curves of the frame are quite dierentunder dierent lateral load patterns the pushover curves

obtained by using user-dened hinges almost exactly co-incide with those by using the default plastic hinges inSAP2000 under the same lateral load pattern

Table 5 gives the calculation results of the elastoplasticinterstory drift ratios of the noncorroded plane frame underrare earthquake action From Table 5 it could also be seenthat the story drift ratios obtained by using user-denedhinges are generally consistent with those obtained by usingthe default hinges in SAP2000 under the same lateral loadpattern e maximum discrepancy is less than 5 and themaximum story drift ratio is very close to 1120 which canmeet the code requirement [32]

corroded beam and columns To simplify the followingcomputation in this paper the P-M-M interaction curvesfor dierent corroded RC columns are calculated using user-dened hinge with the help of XTRACT software while themoment curvature (M3) for dierent corroded RC beamscan be obtained using user-dened hinge by literature [35]

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

411 Degradation of the P-M-M Curves of Corroded ColumnUsing User-Dened Hinge According to the parameters inTable 6 the P-M-M curves of the RC column under dierentdegrees of corrosion can be obtained and the results areshown in Figure 6 It can be seen that with an increasedcorrosion rate the ultimate bearing capacity of compression

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

As shown in Figures 7 and 8 there are 6 segments(ie B-IO IO-LS LS-CP CP-C C-D and D-E) in the legendband Each legend band is represented by a dierent colourwhich can help the reader to judge the damage state of thestructure or member For example it can be seen from theframe gure that there are pink points blue points andgreen points in the frame beams and columns which aredistributed in the B-IO segment IO-LS segment and LS-CPsegment of the legend band respectively ereforeaccording to the explanation shown in Figure 3 we candetermine the stress states of these points as the service-ability stage the safety stage and the prevention of thecollapse stage respectively

422 Degradation of the Seismic Performance of the Cor-roded Structure under Rare Earthquake Action Figure 9provides the pushover curves for the corroded frameunder dierent degrees of corrosion It is easy to see thatthe trend of the pushover curves and the degradation lawsare basically the same despite the slight dierence of thecurves under dierent lateral load patterns Table 9 liststhe values of seismic bearing capacity of the frame underdierent corrosion rates From the results in Figure 9 andTable 9 it can be concluded that the seismic bearingcapacity of the corroded frame decreased signicantly dueto corrosion of its rebars In addition with increasingrebar corrosion rate the degradation of the bearing ca-pacity gradually increased

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

33 Pushover Analysis Results

331 Comparison of the P-M-M Curves between DefaultHinges and User-Dened Plastic Hinges In view of the bi-axial symmetry of the cross section of the noncorroded framecolumn Figure 4 presents only the correlation curve of theaxial force P and the major moment M3 in the x direction ofthe column section It can be seen that the P-M-M curvesobtained by user-dened plastic hinge are in good agreementwith those by the built-in default hinge in SAP2000 software

Table 4 provides the parameters of the P-M-M curves ofthe noncorroded column section It can be seen from Figure 4and Table 4 that the computed key-point parameters of theP-M-M curves using user-dened hinge are generally con-sistent with those acquired by the built-in default hinge inSAP2000 software e maximum discrepancy is within 5is indicated that the user-dened hinge has relatively higherprecision and can be used in the subsequent analysis

332 Comparison of the Pushover Analysis Results betweenDefault Hinges and User-Dened Hinges Considering thatthe load pattern may aect the pushover analysis results dra-matically it is important to consider at least two dierent lateralpushover cases to represent dierent sequences of response thatcould occur during dynamic loading [29] erefore thepushover analysis in this paper should be performed using bothof the following lateral load patterns the uniform patterncorresponding to uniform unidirectional lateral accelerationand the 1st modal patterne 1st modal pattern is a pattern offorces on the joints that is proportional to the product of thefundamental mode shape times its circular frequency squaredtimes the mass tributary to the joint In view of the remarkablematerial nonlinear of concrete the load pattern based ondisplacement control is chosen in this paper to avoid troubleconverging e pushover curves for the plane frame in axis③-③ under dierent load patterns are shown in Figure 5

From the simulation results in Figure 5 we can see thatalthough the pushover curves of the frame are quite dierentunder dierent lateral load patterns the pushover curves

obtained by using user-dened hinges almost exactly co-incide with those by using the default plastic hinges inSAP2000 under the same lateral load pattern

Table 5 gives the calculation results of the elastoplasticinterstory drift ratios of the noncorroded plane frame underrare earthquake action From Table 5 it could also be seenthat the story drift ratios obtained by using user-denedhinges are generally consistent with those obtained by usingthe default hinges in SAP2000 under the same lateral loadpattern e maximum discrepancy is less than 5 and themaximum story drift ratio is very close to 1120 which canmeet the code requirement [32]

corroded beam and columns To simplify the followingcomputation in this paper the P-M-M interaction curvesfor dierent corroded RC columns are calculated using user-dened hinge with the help of XTRACT software while themoment curvature (M3) for dierent corroded RC beamscan be obtained using user-dened hinge by literature [35]

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

411 Degradation of the P-M-M Curves of Corroded ColumnUsing User-Dened Hinge According to the parameters inTable 6 the P-M-M curves of the RC column under dierentdegrees of corrosion can be obtained and the results areshown in Figure 6 It can be seen that with an increasedcorrosion rate the ultimate bearing capacity of compression

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

As shown in Figures 7 and 8 there are 6 segments(ie B-IO IO-LS LS-CP CP-C C-D and D-E) in the legendband Each legend band is represented by a dierent colourwhich can help the reader to judge the damage state of thestructure or member For example it can be seen from theframe gure that there are pink points blue points andgreen points in the frame beams and columns which aredistributed in the B-IO segment IO-LS segment and LS-CPsegment of the legend band respectively ereforeaccording to the explanation shown in Figure 3 we candetermine the stress states of these points as the service-ability stage the safety stage and the prevention of thecollapse stage respectively

422 Degradation of the Seismic Performance of the Cor-roded Structure under Rare Earthquake Action Figure 9provides the pushover curves for the corroded frameunder dierent degrees of corrosion It is easy to see thatthe trend of the pushover curves and the degradation lawsare basically the same despite the slight dierence of thecurves under dierent lateral load patterns Table 9 liststhe values of seismic bearing capacity of the frame underdierent corrosion rates From the results in Figure 9 andTable 9 it can be concluded that the seismic bearingcapacity of the corroded frame decreased signicantly dueto corrosion of its rebars In addition with increasingrebar corrosion rate the degradation of the bearing ca-pacity gradually increased

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

To understand the inuence of dierent amounts of rebarcorrosion on the seismic performance of the RC framestructure four sets of operating conditions including non-corroded slight corrosion moderate corrosion and severecorrosion were selected According to the literature [35] thecorresponding uniform corrosion rates of the rebar crosssection under the four conditions above were 0 5 10and 18 respectively e corresponding concrete cover andreinforcement parameters under the four cases including thestrength of concrete cover the yield strength of the rebar theelastic modulus of the rebar etc are listed in Table 6

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

421 Plastic Hinges Formation andDevelopment Figures 7 and8 show the distribution of plastic hinges for the corrodedplane frame in axis ③-③ when the performance point(shown in Figure 3) is reached As can be seen from thegures with an increasing rebar corrosion rate the number ofplastic hinges in beams and columns increased graduallyMeanwhile the hinges developed rapidly from the bottom tothe higher storey with an increasing development level Underslight corrosion condition (corrosion rate is less than 5) thenumber and distribution of the plastic hinges for the corrodedframe are approximately the same as that for the noncorrodedframe (corrosion rate is equal to 0) For moderately orseriously corroded frame the number of plastic hinges in-creased signicantly relative to the noncorroded structureand the beam hinges have a large development rate thancolumn hinges By comparison under the uniform lateral

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

As shown in Figures 7 and 8 there are 6 segments(ie B-IO IO-LS LS-CP CP-C C-D and D-E) in the legendband Each legend band is represented by a dierent colourwhich can help the reader to judge the damage state of thestructure or member For example it can be seen from theframe gure that there are pink points blue points andgreen points in the frame beams and columns which aredistributed in the B-IO segment IO-LS segment and LS-CPsegment of the legend band respectively ereforeaccording to the explanation shown in Figure 3 we candetermine the stress states of these points as the service-ability stage the safety stage and the prevention of thecollapse stage respectively

422 Degradation of the Seismic Performance of the Cor-roded Structure under Rare Earthquake Action Figure 9provides the pushover curves for the corroded frameunder dierent degrees of corrosion It is easy to see thatthe trend of the pushover curves and the degradation lawsare basically the same despite the slight dierence of thecurves under dierent lateral load patterns Table 9 liststhe values of seismic bearing capacity of the frame underdierent corrosion rates From the results in Figure 9 andTable 9 it can be concluded that the seismic bearingcapacity of the corroded frame decreased signicantly dueto corrosion of its rebars In addition with increasingrebar corrosion rate the degradation of the bearing ca-pacity gradually increased

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

412 Degradation of the Bending Strength of Corroded FrameBeam In this paper the bending strength for noncorrodedbeam hinge (M3) can be computed using the built-in defaulthinge properties in SAP2000 For the plastic hinge propertiesof corroded beams the bending strength of the beam hinge(M3) can be obtained with the help of the calculation resultsof literature [35] e ultimate bending moment of corrodedbeams with four dierent amounts of corrosion are shown inTable 8

42 Pushover Analysis Results for Corroded RC FrameGenerally the corrosion of rebar in RC frame structures ismainly caused by carbonisation cracking and spalling of theconcrete cover erefore it can be reasonably assumed thatthe corrosion rates of columns and beams are the same [12]On the base of the parameters for plastic hinge properties ofcorroded beams and columns in Figure 6 and Tables 6ndash8 thestatic pushover analysis under rare earthquake action wascarried out incorporating inelastic material behaviour forconcrete and steel with dierent corrosion rates

load pattern the development degree of the plastic hinges forthe same corroded frame is higher than that under the 1stmodal load pattern

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern

422 Degradation of the Seismic Performance of the Cor-roded Structure under Rare Earthquake Action Figure 9provides the pushover curves for the corroded frameunder dierent degrees of corrosion It is easy to see thatthe trend of the pushover curves and the degradation lawsare basically the same despite the slight dierence of thecurves under dierent lateral load patterns Table 9 liststhe values of seismic bearing capacity of the frame underdierent corrosion rates From the results in Figure 9 andTable 9 it can be concluded that the seismic bearingcapacity of the corroded frame decreased signicantly dueto corrosion of its rebars In addition with increasingrebar corrosion rate the degradation of the bearing ca-pacity gradually increased

423 Deformation Performance of the Corroded Structureunder Rare Earthquake Action In order to better un-derstand the lateral deformation capacity of the corrodedstructure this paper also provides the story drift ratios asshown in Table 10 Similarly we can see that the interstorydrift ratios increase dramatically with the increasing of thecorrosion rate of the structure However the increasingextent varies by oor position for instance there is a phe-nomenon of negative increase in the fth and sixth oorwhich is mainly caused by the redistribution of internalforces under dierent lateral load patterns

Adding the interstory drift of each storey one can get thestorey displacements of the structure which also representthe global behaviour of the corroded frame with stiness and

5 Conclusions

In this paper the finite element model of a six-storey-three-span corroded reinforced concrete (RC) frame structure wasestablished using SAP2000 software e numerical simu-lation of the seismic performance of the corroded RC framestructure with four different amounts of corrosion wasconducted using pushover analysis method e mainconclusions are as follows

(1) For the noncorroded RC frame the P-M-M curvesof column section obtained by using user-definedhinges with the help of XTRACT software aregenerally consistent with those acquired by thebuilt-in default hinges in SAP2000 For the cor-roded RC frame column section the calculatedP-M-M curves based on user-defined hinges pres-ent out the same change trends as the noncorrodedone erefore XTRACTsoftware can be utilized todetermine the properties of user-defined P-M-Mplastic hinges

(2) With the increasing corrosion rate of rebars theplastic hinges in beams and columns of the RC framedeveloped rapidly from the bottom to the higherstorey with an increasing development level whichleads to a more aggravated deformation of thestructure under severe earthquake

(3) e seismic bearing capacity of the corroded framedecreased significantly due to corrosion of its rebarsIn addition with increasing rebar corrosion rate thedegradation of the bearing capacity gradually increased

(4) e interstory drift ratios increase dramatically withthe increase of the corrosion rate of the structureHowever the increase varies with by the location ofstoreys and it has a strong correlation with thelateral load pattern
