Summary
:
A mechano-chemical analysis was carried out to assess corrosion in the reinforcement induced by chlorides. No measurements on chloride content or corrosion were conducted, but parameters describing the corrosion process were instead taken from literature. The mechanical behaviour was analysed in the FE-program ATHENA. The proposed failure mechanism was crushing of concrete due to diagonal cracking in the upper part of the joint.
