Failure Modes in Concrete Repair Systems due to Ongoing Corrosion

Figure 22

Numerically obtained crack pattern and maximum crack widths due to the pressure imposed by expanding bar in repair systems. Substrate is stronger than repair material and influence of interface strength; top: repair material; bottom: substrate (note that for different samples maximum crack widths are different).
(a) SHCC, rough surface. Interface strength of 1 MPa. Imposed pressure of 39 MPa
(b) SHCC, rough surface. Interface strength of 3 MPa. Imposed pressure of 39 MPa
