Reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environment often sustain high levels of chloride-induced reinforcement corrosion, which causes reinforcement corrosion and resulting in degraded performance under cyclic service loading. This article studied the dynamic bond performance between corroded reinforcing and concrete under force controlled loading. Tests were carried out to evaluate the cyclic bond-slip degradation with different reinforcement corrosion levels. A series of 30 specimens with various corrosion levels of rebar and stirrup were made. The specimen was cast as concrete cube with the dimension of 200 mm, and a steel rebar was centrally embedded with two stirrups around. The embedded steel rebar and stirrups were corroded using an electrochemical accelerated corrosion technique. The corrosion crack opening width and length were recorded after completion of artificial corrosion. Then, cyclic loading test was carried out; three different force levels of 24, 36, and 48 kN were adopted. The effects of reinforcement corrosion rate on crack opening, maximum slip, energy dissipation, and unloading stiffness were discussed in detail. It was found that both reinforcement corrosion rate and crack opening would have significant effects on cyclic bond performance. Further studies are urgently needed to quantify these effects to the cyclic bond performance
