Monotonic Tensile Testing of Corroded Reinforcing Steel Bars Database

The database presented here provides a collection of 1,387 monotonic tensile tests performed on corroded reinforcing steel bars from 26 experimental programs available in the literature. The database includes 1,255 corroded reinforcing bars, 132 uncorroded control samples, 19 independent variables, and 17 dependent variables. Nine of the independent variables are categorical, and ten are numerical. 274 samples were naturally corroded, 271 were corroded under environmentally-induced conditions (typically salt-spray exposure), and 707 were corroded artificially under an impressed-current regime. All observations (individual bar tests) are statistically independent, as each data entry represents one independent test. Empty cells indicate non-reported variables. This database was compiled as part of the author's Ph.D. research for the purpose of predictive machine learning and empirical modeling. Journal articles applying the database are currently under review and will be attached at a later date. For the time being, the Author title 'This Study (2023)' (final entry in the database) refers to the experimental work performed by the authors. Please see the accompanying User's Manual PDF for a complete description of the input and response variables, nomenclature, abbreviations, and formulations included in this database. <strong>EDIT</strong>: Please ignore the second summary sheet in the database Excel file. This belongs to other work by the authors and is not relevant to the current database. The sheet will be removed in later versions of the file.
