In　order　to　investigate　the　impacts　of　corrosion　damage　on　the　seismic　performance　of　recycled　aggregate　concrete　(RAC)　columns,　the　hysteretic　behavior　of　the　corroded　RAC　columns　was　studied　through　quasistatic　tests　and　numerical　analyses.　The　main　parameters　included　different　corrosion　ratios,　axial　load　ratios　(ALR),　and　stirrup　ratios.　The　results　revealed　that　there　were　no　significant　differences　in　the　carrying　and　deformation　capacities　of　the　corroded　RAC　column　compared　with　the　corroded　NAC　column.　Under　electrochemical　chloride　erosion　conditions,　the　corrosion　ratios　of　stirrups　were　on　average　44.6%　higher　than　those　of　longitudinal　bars,　and　the　crack　widths　of　columns　with　different　corrosion　ratios　varied　little,　ranging　from　0.1　to　0.5　mm.　Under　a　relatively　low　corrosion　ratio　(within　10%),　the　corrosion　had　a　minor　impact　on　the　horizontal　carrying　capacity,　but　the　deformation　capacity　of　the　corroded　columns　decreased　with　increasing　corrosion　ratio　and　ALR.　The　coupling　effect　of　a　high　ALR　and　a　high　corrosion　ratio　could　exacerbate　the　detrimental　impact　of　corrosion,　and　special　attention　should　be　given　to　columns　with　an　ALR　exceeding　0.3　and　a　corrosion　ratio　exceeding　10%.　In　addition,　the　seismic　performance　of　the　corroded　structure　could　be　effectively　simulated　through　the　finite　element　model　based　on　the　modified　corrosion　model　of　the　materials.
