Thickness reduction due to uniform corrosion increases the tendency of lateral torsional buckling (LTB) of open cross-sections and it reduces the moment capacity of the beam. The effect of the various corrosion cases on the LTB moment capacity (Mb,rd) of the I-beams are investigated in this paper. An analytical framework for patch corroded I-beams is introduced to provide a guideline for simulating the nonlinear lateral torsional buckling behaviour of patch corroded simple beams. Hence the effect of different corrosion scenarios to reduce the buckling reduction factor (ηLT) is investigated by conducting a parametric study. Twelve different beam lengths were considered to obtain different non-dimensional slenderness ratios (λLT) in this parametric study. The degraded buckling curves were obtained for each corrosion scenarios.
