Abstract

Corrosion can significantly diminish the structural performance of Reinforced concrete structures during earthquake events. Corrosion mostly occurs due to chloride and carbon dioxide penetration into the concrete. In this study, the effects of chloride corrosion on the high-rise reinforced concrete building under both near- and far-field ground motions were investigated. In this regard, the Haselton 20-story reinforced concrete model was chosen. The corrosion initiation time was initially determined by performing a Monte Carlo simulation with various water-to-cement ratios of 0.4, 0.45, and 0.5. Next, the effects of corrosion on the mechanical properties of the steel and the concrete were considered using equations available in the literature. Finally, corrosion effects on the seismic performance of structures were evaluated by performing the non-linear static and incremental dynamic analysis (IDA). FEMA p695 far-field and near-field ground motions were selected for dynamic analyses. The reduction of the overstrength and ductility over 40 years after corrosion initiation was calculated. The results showed that ductility was more affected by corrosion rather than overstrength. The probabilities of exceeding four damage states of slight, moderate, extensive, and complete were estimated based on fragility curves obtained from IDA. Ten years after the initiation of corrosion, it was observed that there is only a slight difference in the probability of damage states. After that, a considerable distinction was observed, especially in water to cement ratio of 0.5. Moreover, it was seen that exceeding selected damage states under non-pulse-like near-field ground motions is more likely.
