AbstractConcrete cracking caused by corrosion of reinforcement could significantly shorten the durability of reinforced concrete structure. It remains critical to investigate the process and mechanism of the corrosion occurring to concrete reinforcement and establish the theoretical prediction model of concrete expansion force for the whole process of corrosion cracking of reinforcement. Under the premise of uniform corrosion of reinforcing steel bars, the elastic mechanics analysis method is adopted to analyze the entire process starting from the corrosion of steel bars to the cracking of concrete due to corrosion. A relationship model between the expansion force of corrosion of steel bars and the surface strain of concrete is established. On the cuboid reinforced concrete specimens with square cross-sections, accelerated corrosion tests are carried out to calibrate and verify the established model. The model can be able to estimate the real-time expansion force of reinforced concrete at any time of the whole process from the initiation of steel corrosion to the end of concrete cracking by measuring the surface strain of concrete. It could be useful for quantitative real-time monitoring of steel corrosion in concrete structures.

The corrosion of steel will have a bad impact on the safety of reinforced concrete structure. In severe cases, it may even be disastrous. In order to understand the impact of steel corrosion on the structure, tests are carried out to study corrosion and expansion rules of steel bars as well as the impact rules of corrosion on bond force between steel and concrete. The results show that wet and salty environment will result in steel corrosion; relatively minor corrosion will not cause expansion cracks of protection layers; when steel rust to a certain extent, it will cause cracks along the protection layer; when there exists minor corrosion in steel and the protection layer does not have expansion cracks, the bond force is still large and rapidly decreases as the corrosion rate increases.

The corrosion of concrete structures is serious in sulfuric acid environments. Corrosion damage of reinforcements caused sulfuric acid corrosion is very serious. The rapid experiments of sulfuric acid corrosion steel bars were carried out, and the apparent morphology and mechanical properties of sulfuric acid corrosion steel bars were studied. The results show that the corrosion of steel bars is uniform corrosion. With the increase of corrosion rate, the yield platforms and the yield strengths and ultimate strengths are reduced. Based on the experimental datas, the relationship models between yield strengths and ultimate strengths and corrosion rates were obtained. The constitutive models of corrosion steel bars were established. The stress - strain relationship model is in good agreement with the experimental data.

The microstructures of steel bars were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the mechanism of corrosion of steel bars under the corrosion factors was elucidated. The results show that the passivation film and corrosive surface of the steel surface in the solution of the chloride-containing salt were coarser and the surface state was denser. The main corrosion products are FeOOH and FeO. The surface of the steel immersed in the simulated carbonized solution had loose pores. The main components are FeOOH, Fe3O4, and Fe2O3. The surface of the steel bar has a large amount of yellowish brown corrosion products in the simulated carbonization and chloride salt. The surface of the corrosion products was stripped and the main components are FeOOH, Fe3O4, and FeCl3, where the content of FeOOH is as high as 60%. The peak value of iron is gradually increased from the simulated chloride salt solution to the carbonized solution to the combined effect of carbonation and chloride salt; the iron oxide content is increased and corrosion of steel is obviously serious.

Based on the mechanism, influencing factors and their fuzziness of reinforced concrete (RC) cracking caused by corrosion of steel bars, fuzzy reliability of RC durability failure due to corrosion expansion of steel bars is analyzed adopting the mathematic model of fuzzy probability. The method having the advantages of explicit concept, convenient calculation and stable results which is proved by the examples accords with the actual situation and can be applied to the engineering practice.
