Abstract: 
This paper reports a numerical model for the purpose of evaluating the strength and elongation of corroded reinforcement analytically. The irregular removals of iron ions from the reinforcement surface caused by its corrosion were modelled using both maximum and average attack penetration over the cross section and along the length of the reinforcement. It is assumed that corroded reinforcement reaches its yield force and ultimate elongation when its maximum stress under an axial tension force at its minimum residual section is equal to the yield and ultimate strengths of its corresponding non-corroded reinforcement, respectively. As a result, series of equations were developed to determine the strength and elongation of corroded reinforcement, which have been validated against the experimental results of simulated corroded reinforcements and compared with the results of accelerated corroded reinforcements reported by Andrade C et al1.
