Abstract

In this report, cracking of cover concrete due to the expansion stress induced by reinforcement corrosion was analyzed. This analysis can estimate the limit value of reinforcement corrosion which is defined as a rust volume when a crack due to expansion stress penetrate the entire cover concrete. The analyzed examples were in close agreement with the experimental results.
