Evaluation of Crack Propagation in Cover Concrete of RC Viaducts Caused by Steel Corrosion

Fractures in cover concrete on reinforced concrete (RC) viaducts is caused by the expansion of reinforced-bar due to corrosion. In order to understand the mechanisms behind these fractures cross-sections of a corroded rebar were evaluated using the equipment proposed in this paper. In addition, a series of experiments and non-linear...
