Abstract

There is a need for sound engineering models and concepts taking into account the damage mechanisms of chloride-induced corrosion with respect to the load-bearing behaviour of reinforced concrete structures. In this paper, we present a novel conceptual approach combining the physical-electrochemical processes of chloride-induced corrosion initiation/propagation with the mechanical aspects of load-deformation behaviour. A particular focus lies on the stochastic nature of localised corrosion and the relevance of the location of corrosion for the load-bearing behaviour, which is considered with the Corroded Tension Chord Model (CTCM). We present a numerical implementation of this concept, applied to a case study of a bridge deck cantilever slab.
