Monotonic Flexural Testing of Corroded Reinforced Concrete Beams Database

The database presented here provides a collection of 804 corroded reinforced concrete beams from 54 experimental programs available in the literature. All beam specimens were tested under simply-supported monotonic three/four-point bending conditions and failed in flexure-dominated modes. The database includes 45 independent variables, 11 dependent variables, 649 corroded members, and 155 uncorroded control beams, tested across 14 countries. Of the corroded beams, 11 were naturally corroded, 30 were corroded via long-term environmental exposure (typically in the form of salt spray or fog), and 608 were corroded artificially through the impressed-current method. All observations (individual beam tests) are statistically independent, as each data entry represents one independent test. Highlighted cells indicate non-reported variables.
