Cover Cracking of Reinforced Concrete Beams Due to Corrosion of Steel

A finite element (FE) model is proposed to simulate the corrosion-induced cracking of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The smeared cracking approach is used to model the cracking ofordinary concrete, ductile fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (DFRCC), and engineered cementitious composites (ECC...
