Why study corrosion induced cracking?
• Corrosion of reinforcement causes:
(1) Loss of steel cross-section
(2) Loss of bond between steel and concrete
(3) Change in ductility of steel (more brittle)
(4) Change in failure mode for beams (from shear to bond failure)
Serious problems preceded by
cracking of the concrete cover!

Corrosion induced cracking
• Corrosion products “migrate” into pores
around the steel and open cracks
• Needs to be taken into account in the
model!

Uniform corrosion:
The pressure is a function of:
•Bar radius
•Steel loss
•Migration of corrosion products
•Corrosion product density
•Young modulus of corrosion products
Not precisely quantified!
Cracking pressure is a function:
•Rebar position
•Concrete (local) mechanical properties

Uniform corrosion
Influence of the porous zone (PZ) existence
on the cracking time (geometry 1)
Influence of the penetration of rust into open
cracks (geometry 1)
Delays the onset of damage!
Influences crack propagation kinetics!

Pitting corrosion
• Caused by Cl penetration
• Non-uniform pressure exerted
• Different cracking behaviouor

Conclusions
• Corrosion induced cracking can be simulated using the Delft
lattice model
• Cracking patterns are influenced by concrete material structure
• Crack initiation is influenced by the porous layer around the
steel
• Crack propagation is influenced by penetration of corrosion
products into open cracks
• Pitting corrosion causes more large cracks compared to uniform
corrosion
Experiments to study the porous layer, corrosion product migration, and
rust properties are being performed by many researchers!
