Abstract
Guidance is given in this Advice Note on the fatigue classification of corrosion damage to reinforcing bars with advice on estimating the extent of damage to the cross-section. The fatigue performance of mechanically damaged reinforcement is also considered. To determine the actual fatigue life of reinforcement, a simplified method has been given which should cover most cases. The document is applicable to mild steel and high yield bars of a diameter ranging from 6mm to 50mm.
