TL;DR: In this article, the effects of corrosion on the mechanical performance of steel were investigated by conducting surface measurements and tensile tests on naturally corroded steel plates, and they found that significant degradations in strength and deformation can be observed.

TL;DR: In this article, the changes in surface morphology and mechanical properties for carbon steel butt-welded joints by ageing in salt spray environment were investigated, the results showed that the pitting geometrical parameters of all three zones had a similar time-dependent evolution rule, namely mean pit depth, maximum pit depth and volume box parameter all increased with the increasing exposure corrosion time, while pitting aspect ratio decreased.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the bond properties for deformed steel bar in frost-damaged concrete under monotonic and reversed cyclic loading and showed that the initial bond stiffness, the maximum bond resistance and the remaining bond strength decreased with increasing concrete strength.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the seismic performance of reinforced concrete columns after freeze-thaw cycles and axial compression ratios, and found that the deformation capacity and initial stiffness increased with the number of freezing and thaw cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of neutral salt-spray corrosion damage on the seismic capacity of welded steel connections was investigated experimentally and numerically, and the results indicated that the larger value could be chosen from the beam flange corrosion and the column web corrosion to estimate the remaining ultimate bearing capacity of existing connections.
