Abstract: This paper reports the results of a comprehensive experimental test program on high performance and standard AISI 316L stainless steel reinforced concrete beams.
Experimental results were compared with theoretical analysis data using current reinforcement mechanical feature standards and experimental testing-based ones, to identify any resistance, ductility and membrane collapse mode difference.
It is also proved the importance of establishing a specific standard on the use of stainless steel reinforcement, in order to enable its more widespread structural use, and not only for its corrosion resistance.
