A Meso-Structure Analytical Model to Describe the Cracking Process due to Reinforcement Corrosion in Concrete Structure

The degradation of concrete structures due to steel reinforcement corrosion is a serious problem for durability and serviceability. Cracking behavior due to reinforcement corrosion is evaluated experimentally and analytically in this paper. In the experiments, in which corrosion was induced electronically, the structure proportion of corrosion product was analyzed. In the analysis, a micromechanical cracking mechanical analytic model, which...
