Abstract: This study investigated the influence of steel reinforcement corrosion on the load-bearing performance of concrete linings. Pull-out tests were conducted to examine the effect of corrosion rate on the bond behavior between steel reinforcement and concrete. Based on the experimental results, numerical simulations were performed to model the bond-slip behavior between corroded steel bars and concrete. Concurrently, a tunnel load-bearing model was employed to analyze the degradation pattern of tunnel bearing capacity under reinforcement corrosion. The results indicated that the critical corrosion rate range for the combination of C40 concrete and HRB400 steel bars was further narrowed from 1%-3% to 1%-2%. An isometric pull-out model based on ABAQUS accurately predicted the bond-slip behavior under corrosion conditions. Furthermore, the tunnel load-bearing model revealed that when corrosion occurred at the right arch springing position, the surface stress on the left side of the tunnel lining remained essentially unchanged, whereas the stresses at the right arch shoulder and right arch haunch first decreased and then increased with increasing corrosion rate. The surface stress at the right arch springing initially increased and then decreased. The tunnel load-bearing model also demonstrated that reinforcement corrosion exceeding 1% at the right arch springing deteriorated the tunnel's bearing capacity. It was predicted that when the corrosion rate of the reinforcement at this location reached 15%, the safety factors at the left and right arch springings and the right arch haunch would fall below the required value of 2.0 as specified in the relevant code, indicating a loss of safe load-bearing capacity.

Key words: rebar corrosion, bond slip, tunnel lining, structural analysis, numerical simulation
