Modeling Steel Corrosion Failure in Reinforced Concrete by Cover Crack Width 3D FEM Analysis
A new predictive 3D FEM model is proposed using the corrosion damage function by measuring the concrete cover crack width, which is a function of the free concrete cover depth, the steel rebar diameter, the mechanical properties of the concrete, and the length of the anodic zone. A significant aspec...
