A Prediction Model for Concrete Cracks due to Chloride-Induced Corrosion

Figure 7

Location of corrosion cracks in reinforced concrete. (a) Scan image of the specimen of the middle reinforcement [22]. (b) Crack development paths with different thicknesses of cover [22]. (c) The crack form of plate type test [27]. (d) Simulating the development of corrosion cracks in the middle reinforcement [28]. (e) Simulation and test of steel corrosion with different covers [29]. (f) Results of cracking tests of corner reinforcement (d = 12 mm; c = 20 mm) [30]. (g) Results of cracking tests of corner reinforcement (d = 12 mm; c = 20 mm) [30]. (h) Finite element simulation different covers [31]. (i) Cross-section corrosion crack pattern with development with of non-central of crack reinforcement [32].
