Abstract
Localised corrosion reduces the strength and, even more pronouncedly, the deformation capacity of reinforced concrete structures. These effects are particularly critical in hyperstatic systems and structures subjected to deformation dependent loading, as they may cause premature brittle failures limiting moment redistribution and load reduction, respectively. This paper presents the results of eight largescale experiments investigating the load-deformation behaviour of retaining wall segments with varying localised corrosion damage. The experiments included two hybrid tests exploring the interaction of deformation capacity and deformation dependent load. The Corroded Tension Chord Model was used to model the structural behaviour, revealing excellent agreement with the experimental data.
