Hi, everyone.
I am trying to the FE analysis considering the effect of rebar. In this version, how to built the FE model to consider the effect of corrosion on the RC structure?
Thank you very much.
Best wishes,
QZ

There is no model in SeismoStruct that considers directly the effect of corrosion. An effective way to do so is to consider a rebar of smaller diameters, i.e. removing the outer corroded steel layer.
