The critical amount of corroded steel that causes concrete cover cracking can be readily calculated based on thick-walled cylinder theory. However, the results may vary significantly depending on how the rust deposition is considered. There are several rust deposition hypothesis proposed in the literature for modelling concrete cover cracking of RC structures due to reinforcement corrosion. Among them, three are considered representative ones and have been widely cited in the literature. They are: (i) assumes a certain amount of rust product carried away from the rust layer and deposited within the open cracks proposed by Pantazopoulou and Papoulia; (ii) assumes all of the rust products build up around the bar and all of them are responsible for the expansive pressure proposed by Bazant; (iii) assumes certain amount of rust products deposited into a porous zone around the bar/concrete interface proposed by Liu and Weyers. In this paper, all three rust deposition hypotheses were examined for the critical amount of corrosion to induce cover cracking. When compared to the test data available from the literature, it showed that the porous zone model proposed by Liu and Weyers gives the best predictions. Thus it may be concluded that assuming a porous zone around the steel/concrete interface would be reasonable and may be adopted in developing concrete cover cracking predictive model.

Cover cracking from reinforcement corrosion is one of the major causes of deteriorations in reinforced concrete structure. If the cover cracking time can be predicted, it would be useful for maintenance planning and budget allocation. The objective of this paper was to find the influence of repair materials on concrete cover cracking time. In this study, the corrosion of concrete reinforcement was accelerated by electricity. Using three types of materials, it was found that the cover cracking time of repair mortar was the shortest followed by those of concrete and non-shrink cement grout respectively. In addition, specimens simulating repaired concrete were prepared. The cracking times of the repaired specimens were found to be about the same and were of the same order as those of repair materials only.

The mechanisms of reinforcement corrosion in concrete are the subject of extensive research. Although reliable methods for predicting the corrosive deterioration of concrete structures do not yet exist. This paper describes the durability problem of reinforced concrete bridges based on the mechanisms of carbonation depth or chloride profile. The deterioration model considering concrete carbonation, chloride penetration and concrete cover cracking is adopted to describe the service life of concrete structures. The corrosion models include environmental conditions, concrete carbonation or chloride diffusion rates, quality of concrete cover, steel corrosion rates and many other factors that make the predicting of service life of structures extremely difficult. Finally, the author gives the details of the methods of durabilio/ verification and the proposals for its including in the national standards and practical guides.

SADDAM HUSEIN. Analisa Pola Kegagalan Balok Beton Menggunakan GFRP Bar Tanpa Selimut Beton (dibimbing oleh Rudi Djamaluddin dan Rita Irmawaty) Struktur beton bertulang yang menggunakan tulangan baja pada daerah korosif, menjadi rawan terhadap kerusakan atau penurunan kekuatannya akibat korosi.Korosi pada tulangan baja merupakan salah satu faktor penyebab menurunnya kekuatan struktur beton bertulang. Salah satu material yang dikembangkan mengatasi korosi adalah penggunaan material tulangan GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa kapasitas lentur dan pola kegagalan balok beton tanpa selimut dengan menggunakan material tulangan GFRP bar.   Desain penelitian merupakan eksperimental laboratorium dengan rekapitulasi sebanyak 6 sampel yang terdiri dari 2 Balok beton menggunakan tulangan baja dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan tulangan GFRP bar dengan selimut beton, 2 balok beton menggunakan GFRP bar tanpa selimut beton. Metode pengujian dilakukan dengan dengan pengujian lentur statik monotonik dan Analisis data menggunakan uji kondisi retak awal dan kondisi ultimit.   Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kapasitas lentur pada balok dengan tulangan GFRP bar lebih besar dibandingkan dengan balok tulangan baja dan mampu meningkatkan kapasitas lentur balok dalam menahan beban sebesar 39.76 %, pola kegagalan beton yang terjadi pada balok tulangan baja mengalami kegagalan lentur tekan ditandai dengan retakan yang terjadi pada sisi tertekan dan membentuk retakan tegak dengan sumbu netral beton yang tertekan, sedangkan pada balok beton tulangan GFRP tanpa selimut mengalami kegagalan keruntuhan tekan geser dengan kondisi tulangan berdeformasi (bi-linear) dengan retak miring dan secara tiba-tiba menjalar menuju sumbu netral beton yang tertekan sehingga terjadilah keruntuhan secara tiba-tiba.     SADDAM HUSEIN.Failure mode analysis of concrete Beams Using GFRP rebar Without concrete cover (supervised by Rudi Djamaluddin and Rita Irmawaty)   Reinforced concrete that uses rebar steel in corrosive areas, are prone to damage or decreased strength due to corrosion. Corrosion in the steel reinforcement is one of the factors that decreasing strength of reinforced concrete. One of the materials developed to overcome corrosion is the use of GFRP (Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer) reinforcement material. This study aims to analyze the flexural capacity and failure mode of concrete beams without concrete cover using material GFRP bar as reinforcement.   The research design was an experimental laboratory with a recapitulation of 6 samples consisting of 2 beams using steel reinforcement with concrete cover.2 concrete beams using reinforcement GFRP bar with concrete cover, 2 beams using GFRP bars without concrete cover. The  research method uses the monotonic static flexure and analyzing the data using the initial crack condition and ultimate conditions test.   The results of the research indicate the flexural capacity of the beams with GFRP bar reinforcement is higher than steel reinforcement beams and can increase 39.76% of the flexural capacity of the beams in holding loads , the failure mode analysis occurs in steel reinforcing beam experiences compressive failure. Failure was characterized  by cracks that occur on the depressing side and form an upright crack with the neutral axis of the compressed concrete, whereas in GFRP reinforced concrete beams without concrete cover, failure of shear compression with conditions of deformed reinforcement (bi-linear) with sloping cracks and suddenly spread towards the neutral axis of the compressed concrete so that there was a sudden collapse.

Cracking Process

The premature failure of reinforced concrete (RC) structures is significantly affected by chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing steel. Although researchers have achieved many outstanding results in the structural capacity of RC structures in the past few decades, the topic of service life has gradually attracted researchers’ attention. In this work, based on the stress intensity, two models are developed to predict the threshold expansive pressure, corrosion rate and cover cracking time of the corrosion-induced cracking process for RC structures. Specifically, in the proposed models, both the influence of initial defects and modified corrosion current density are taken into account. The results given by these models are in a good agreement with practical experience and laboratory studies, and the influence of each parameter on cover cracking is analyzed. In addition, considering the uncertainty existing in the deterioration process of RC structures, a methodology based on the third-moment method in regard to the stochastic process is proposed, which is able to evaluate the cracking risk of RC structures quantitatively and predict their service life. This method provides a good means to solve relevant problems and can prolong the service life of concrete infrastructures subjected to corrosion by applying timely inspection and repairs.
