description To research the deterioration of the mechanical properties of stirrup-corroded concrete columns under the effect of load and chloride, accelerated corrosion and load carrying capacity tests were carried out on concrete columns subjected to long-term axial loading by means of dry and wet cycles with extra electric currents. The test results showed that under the effect of axial load and chloride, the corrosion-induced cracks of stirrup-corroded concrete columns mainly developed along the direction of the longitudinal reinforcing steel bars (cracks along longitudinal reinforcing steel bars caused by corrosion) and there were almost no corrosion-induced cracks along the direction of the corroded stirrups. The length and maximum width of the corrosion-induced cracks increased with the stirrup corrosion rate, but the average width of the corrosion-induced cracks did not change significantly. After the stirrup-corroded column reached the ultimate load, the concrete cover spalled off in pieces along the corrosion-induced cracks and loading cracks, the core concrete was crushed, and the test column produced obvious brittle failure. With the increase in the corrosion rate of stirrups, the stiffness and ultimate bearing capacity of the column decreased. Considering factors such as damage to the column section caused by stirrup corrosion, the decrease in the lateral restraint effect of the corroded stirrup on the longitudinal reinforcing steel bars, and buckling of the longitudinal reinforcing steel bars, the ultimate bearing capacity prediction model of the short column subjected to axial compression due to stirrup corrosion was established. The calculated values of the model were in good agreement with the measured values, indicating the model has good applicability.
