Accurate cover crack modelling of reinforced concrete structures subjected to non-uniform corrosion

Concrete cover cracking caused by reinforcement corrosion is a significant durability problem of reinforced concrete (RC) structures. Extensive research has been carried out in the last few decades while most were focused on corrosion of a single reinforcing bar. Very little research has examined the whole cover cracking of RC structures due to multiple reinforcement corrosion. This article develops a numerical model to predict the structural...
