Time to surface cracking and crack width of reinforced concrete structures under corrosion of multiple rebars

Concrete cover cracking caused by corrosion of reinforcement is one of major deterioration mechanisms for reinforced concrete structures. In practice, time to surface cracking and crack width evolution are of significance in regards to the assessment of serviceability of reinforced concrete structures. Literature review suggests that, although considerable research has been undertaken on corrosion-induced concrete cracking, little has been...
