Modeling of Concrete Cracking Induced by Steel Expansion

When steel reinforcement corrodes in a concrete structure, the expansion of corrosion products often leads to cracking in the concrete. In this paper, a simple physical model is developed to relate the size of cracks to steel expansion. By assuming the steel concrete interface to be perfectly smooth...
