Numerical Investigation on Lateral Confinement Effects on Concrete Cracking Induced by Rebar Corrosion

Accelerated corrosion tests of reinforced concrete (RC) specimens were conducted to estimate the corrosion expansion rate of reinforcing bars. Subsequently, finite element analysis was performed with the estimated expansion rate for RC beams to investigate concrete cracking induced by corrosion. The...
