As service rates increase, the corroded rebar stands out as a major problem for existing reinforced concrete (RC) columns in a corrosion-inducing environment. The corrosion of stirrups is more serious than that of longitudinal bars, due to smaller clear concrete cover and smaller diameter. It deteri...
