In order to investigate the degradation of bonding properties between corroded steel bars and concrete, this study employs the half-beam method to conduct bond-slip tests between corroded steel bars and concrete after impressed-current accelerated corrosion of the steel bars in concrete. The effects of steel corrosion rate, steel bar diameter, steel bar strength grade, and concrete strength grade on the bonding properties between concrete and corroded steel bars were analyzed. The influence of different corrosion rates on specimens’ bonding strength and bond-slip curves was determined, and a constitutive relationship for bond-slip between corroded steel bars and concrete was proposed. The results indicate that the ultimate bonding strength of corroded reinforced concrete specimens decreases with increasing corrosion rate. Additionally, an increase in corrosive crack width leads to a linear decrease in bonding strength. Evaluating the decline in adhesive properties through rust expansion crack width in engineering applications is feasible. Furthermore, a bond-slip constitutive relationship between corroded steel bars and concrete was established using relative bond stress and relative slip values, which aligned well with the experimental findings.
