    Corrosion of reinforcements embedded in concrete is one of the numerous causes of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures. In an earthquake prone region, corroded structures become more vulnerable to early failure within its life cycle.The major difficulty for experimental work on corrosion is related to the preparation of a naturally corroded specimens because it is time consuming hence accelerate corrosion is utilized in many researches. In this study, a 15 year old naturally corroded one storey one bay frame specimen and several standout cylindrical specimens were constructed using unseived sea sand containing seashells and to represent structures built during the rapid urbanization period in last 5 decades. The specimen was tested under reversed cyclic loads and the test results were compared to results achieved previously with no corrosion. Furthermore, a numerical analysis was conducted by existing computer programs (SAP2000 and SeismoStruct) and a pushover algorithm was adapted considering lumped plasticity to obtain the structural response of the specimen by different techniques for two theories of analysis including an algorithm for determining stability loads and period at different states of plastic deformations. All numerical results were compared with the experimental results. 15 year old frame showed moderate corrosion at the lower ends of the columns with the lateral load capacity and ultimate displacement not extremely affected by the corrosion. However, higher energy dissipation capacity was observed and with low lateral stiffness at low levels of displacement. Aside the study on corrosion on the frame specimen, this thesis developed a correlation between Poisson’s ratio and nonlinearity index ? based on the gathered empirical data on the uniaxial compression test of 15 year old cylindrical specimens.
