Abstract
Based on the calculation results from the finite element
analysis, the concrete cracking progress and mechanism due
to the corrosion of reinforcing bars in concrete are
investigated. A relation is proposed between the internal
concrete cracking, the external concrete cracking and the
amount of the radial expansive deformation representing the
amount of steel corrosion. The effect of two main
parameters, the ratio of the concrete cover to the steel
diameter, and the non-uniform corrosion, is discussed.
