Abstract: The purpose of this publication is to determine the relationship between cracking in the loaded reinforced concrete and corrosion of embedded steel in a chloride environment. This paper deals with the synthesis carried out ...

Abstract: The macro-finite-element (MFE) modeling proposed in this paper is dedicated to the calculation of the deflection of already cracked reinforced concrete beams under service loading at the stabilized cracking stage. MFEs are ...

Abstract: The paper proposes strut and tie models for the flexure, shear, and bond strength of corroded reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The deterioration of the material properties including bond and the cross section losses are ...
