N2 - Steel Corrosion affects severely on the life and durability of RC structures. In order to investigate the relationship between partial corrosion of RC beams and its cracking morphology and flexural capacity, based on experimental data, RC partial corrosion beam models are simulated using finite element software to model the flexural cracks and capacity of corroded RC beam under different corrosion rates. The results of compared analysis with experiment are presented: with the increase of the corrosion rate, the cracking region is almost consistent, the number of cracks reduces gradually, crack spacing becomes more unequal, bending stiffness and yield strength greatly reduce, ultimate flexural capacity and energy absorption capacity deteriorates, numerical simulation results are in good agreement with experiment.
