Abstract :The high performance of reinforced concrete structural elements under the effects of lateral loads such as earthquakes is of great importance in terms of minimizing the loss of life and property that may occur due to earthquakes. One of the parameters affecting the earthquake behavior of a reinforced concrete structure is the corrosion effect. The aim of this study is to investigate the behavior of reinforced concrete columns exposed to different corrosion levels for different durations within the damage limits. In this direction, it is aimed to perform linear and nonlinear analysis of reinforced concrete columns in 5 different corrosion scenarios. In the study, nonlinear analyzes of the column were made using ANSYS software, the data obtained were determined for different damage limit levels and compared with the section analysis. Because of the study, moment-curvature relations, lateral load-horizontal displacement relations, bending ductility and plastic rotation capacity of the reinforced concrete column were determined for each corrosion scenario.
