We present a new mechanistic framework for corrosion-induced cracking in reinforced
concrete that resolves the underlying chemo-mechanical processes. The framework …

A model for corrosion-induced cracking of reinforced concrete subjected to non-uniform
chloride-induced corrosion is presented. The gradual corrosion initiation of the steel surface …

Steel corrosion induced cracking in reinforced concrete structures is often caused by
volumetric straining at the steel-concrete interface. This volumetric strain is mainly controlled …

Transport of corrosion products into pores and cracks in concrete must be considered when
predicting corrosion induced cracking in reinforced concrete structures, since this transport …

Reinforcement corrosion owing to chemical attack could lead to premature steel-mortar
debonding, concrete cracking, and catastrophic failure of structures if not well attended. In …

This paper describes experimental investigations on corrosion-induced deterioration in
reinforced cementitious materials and the subsequent development and implementation of a …

As it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to carry out fully coupled chemo-mechanical tests
lasting several hundreds of years, a reliable modeling approach is thus indispensable in …

Predicting the failure of reinforced concrete structures due to rebar corrosion is significant in
maintaining the service life of concrete structures. This paper presents a multi-phase-field …

Steel bar corrosion is a crucial problem in reinforced concrete structures. Corrosion, being
one of the most prevalent deterioration mechanism in concrete elements, has a significant …

Non-uniform corrosion of rebar leads to the cracking of the concrete cover, which reduces
the reliability of structures and increases maintenance costs. In this paper, we present a …
