The corrosion of embedded steel bars in concrete is one of the severe deterioration processes that can escalate the risk and reduce the durability and lifetime of concrete structures. Based on the literature, simultaneous corrosion of longitudinal and transverse bar is considered to estimate section capacity. In this research, a flexible multi-stage approach is proposed to differentiate between corrosion levels on longitudinal and transverse reinforcement based on their corrosion initiating time. The result indicated that the multi-stage approach provides higher capacity and curvature for the sections. A significant reduction in reinforced concrete (RC) sections’ ductility after corrosion of confining bars and before starting corrosion of longitudinal rebars was observed, which illustrates the importance of stirrups corrosion effects on the sections’ ductility. In the higher values of corrosion intensity, confined concrete’s ultimate strain tends to reach the unconfined state. Using the energy-based method of calculating ultimate concrete compressive strain instead of approximate methods, a higher value of curvature ductility of corroded RC cross-sections is obtained.
