Efficient macro-scale models for reinforcement corrosion modeling in reinforced concrete structures
Year: 2025
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Reinforcement corrosion due to chloride ingress or carbonation is an important deterioration mechanism, which may compromise the service life of reinforced concrete structures.This paper presents an efficient macro-scale model, aiming to capture the most important aspects of the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures due to reinforcement corrosion.A chemomechanical model covers the initiation and propagation of chlorides using a 1D time-dependent model.This model is combined with the nonlinear modeling of cracking, bond failure, and reinforcement yielding.These models are implemented in the ATENA software and have been previously proven to provide a reliable prediction of structural performance deterioration.An example of an application from the consultancy practice is presented in the paper.
