Mathematical models to predict the mechanical behavior of reinforcements depending on their degree of corrosion and the diameter of the rebars.

Highlights: [•] Models that relate mechanical properties with corrosion degree have been obtained. [•] The variation of yield stress and ultimate strength does not depend on the diameter. [•] Bar resistance reduction is lower than the one caused by section loss. [•] Deformation energy density undergoes higher decreases than yield stress or strength. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
