Due to the presence of degradation on reinforced concrete structures, recent codes have adopted the concept of structures’ durability and service life. The corrosion of reinforcement, which is a major cause of degradation, is not mainly related to the appearance of structures, but to structural safety. The consequences of corrosion of reinforcement are: (i) reduction of the cross section of the reinforcement, (ii) formation of corrosion products leading to loss of bond with concrete, (iii) appearance of cracks in the concrete cover and subsequent spalling. A mechanical analytical model to evaluate the stresses in the concrete surrounding the reinforcement bars is proposed. A refined model is then proposed to evaluate the non linear development of stresses inside concrete and crack propagation when reinforcement bars start to corrode. The relationships between the cracking development (mechanical) and the reduction of the steel section (electrochemical) are provided.
