ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT: The objective of this article is to provide data to engineers on the mechanical behavior of corroded steel plates. All the specimens were corroded by the accelerated corrosion process, three different kinds of accelerated corrosion process, the method of acidic soil accelerated corrosion process, the method of acidic atmospheric accelerated corrosion process and the method of constant temperature and humidity. The results indicate that the yield strength and the ultimate strength are not affected by the presence of corrosion, but for the plasticity, it does affected by the presence of corrosion.
