Reinforcement　corrosion　exhibits　an　adverse　effect　on　the　shear　strength　of　reinforced　concrete　structures.　In　order　to　investigate　the　effects　of　chloride-induced　corrosion　of　reinforcing　steel　on　the　shear　behavior　and　failure　pattern　of　reinforced　concrete　beams,　a　total　of　24　reinforced　concrete　beams　with　different　concrete　strength　grades　and　arrangements　of　stirrups　were　fabricated,　among　which　22　beams　were　subjected　to　accelerated　corrosion　to　achieve　different　degrees　of　reinforcement　corrosion.　The　failure　pattern,　crack　propagation,　load-displacement　response,　and　ultimate　strength　of　these　beams　were　investigated　under　a　standard　four-point　loading　test　in　this　study.　Extensive　comparative　analysis　was　conducted　to　investigate　the　effects　of　the　concrete　strength,　shear　span-to-depth　ratio,　and　stirrup　type　on　the　shear　behavior　of　the　corroded　reinforced　concrete　beams.　The　results　show　that　increasing　the　stirrup　yielding　strength　is　more　effective　in　improving　the　shear　strength　of　corroded　reinforced　concrete　beams　than　that　of　concrete　compressive　strength.　In　terms　of　three　types　of　stirrups,　the　shear　strength　of　the　beams　with　deformed　HRB-335　is　least　sensitive　to　stirrup　corrosion,　followed　by　the　beams　with　smooth　HPB-235　and　the　beams　with　deformed　HRB-400.　The　effect　of　the　different　stirrups　on　the　shear　strength　depends　on　the　corrosion　degree　of　stirrup　and　shear　span-to-depth　ratio　of　the　beam.　The　predicted　results　of　shear　strength　of　corroded　reinforced　concrete　beams　by　a　proposed　analytical　model　are　well　consistent　with　the　experimental　results.
