Abstract
Cracking due to reinforcement corrosion defines an
important limit state of durability and structural
stability of concrete structures. By means of a
comprehensive research work the influence of concrete
porosity on the corrosion morphology and the mechanical
behaviour of the concrete cover affected by the corrosion
process could be investigated. The investigations allowed
for the detailed analysis of the stresses, strains and
the crack formation within the concrete cover. An
analytical prediction model for concrete cover cracking
was derived. This model enables the prediction of the
time dependent damage process under conditions of
practical relevance.
