Changes in the mechanical properties of reinforced concrete over time are the result of chemical, physical, and environmental erosion that structures may experience over their useful life. Even recently, some RC buildings have been affected by clear signs of degradation and hidden defects.<br>In the most common environmental attacks affecting reinforced concrete structures, rebar corrosion is considered to be the most dangerous source of degradation.<br>Over the past decade, beams have been tested under two artificial corrosion conditions, such as bending loads. The test results show that not only the bearing capacity and ductility decrease significantly with the increase of corrosion, but in many cases, the failure mechanism changes from ductility to brittleness.<br>All of these phenomena are likely to significantly affect the correct design of new structures and the reliable assessment of existing buildings, particularly in earthquake-affected areas.<br>In fact, if the structure is designed to be malleable and resistant enough to withstand a particular earthquake, this feature may not remain the same over time.<br>The effect of corrosion on the seismic reaction of reinforced concrete in buildings. In some case studies of mild corrosion.
