Abstract

The degradation in durability of conventional reinforced concrete (RC) structures is the primary factor reducing the service life of engineering structures. Replacing conventional steel reinforcement with stainless steel rebars offers a fundamental solution to corrosion-induced degradation, thereby enhancing structural durability. Consequently, reviewing the current state of development, limitations, and application prospects of stainless steel reinforced concrete (SSRC) structures holds significant implications for advancing concrete structural design practices and promoting the engineering application of such structures within China.
