A Prediction Model of the Concrete Cracking Induced by the Non-Uniform Corrosion of the Steel Reinforcement

This paper investigates the influence of non-uniform corrosion in the transversal direction of the steel reinforcement on the cracking propagation of the concrete cover. An analytical model is proposed for the prediction of the corrosion-induced cracking performance. Both the thick cylinder theory o...
