The aim of the present paper is to further validate a model proposed for assessing bond strength in corroded and non-corroded steel bars. The model was obtained by applying multiple linear regression analysis to an initial database obtained from literature containing over 650 bond tests: 372 with corroded steel bars. In this paper, a second stage for further validating the model has been conducted with new database consisting of 131 new tests of bond with corroded steel bars resulting in a final database of 500 tests of bond with corroded reinforcing steel bars. In this model, bond strength is considered as an average stress on the nominal surface of a straight length of a bar over the bond length. The corrosion effect is considered using the cross-section loss (% Cor) considered as uniform corrosion along the bonded length of the bar. In addition to the cross-section loss, corrosion effect in bond is additionally considered with an additional variable that implicitly includes the effect of cracking depending on the range of cross section loss, bond condition and presence of transverse reinforcement. In the paper, the former formulation proposed in is compared with the formulation adapted with rounded coefficients for the former database, the new database and the combined database with different statistical criteria to compare the accuracy of the bond strength predictions obtained with the model. Finally, the predictions of the model show a good fitting with the experimental results with the new database and also have a low scatter. This is showing its utility in the safety assessment of bond strength in reinforced concrete members.
