摘要
To clarify the corrosion mechanism of steel induced by transverse crack, a study on the influence of crack widths and epoxy coating on corrosion of steel bars in cracked concrete is presented here. Microcell and macrocell corrosions of bars were investigated on single crack specimens with crack widths of 0.08, 0.26, 0.38 and 0.94 mm. The entire study was carried out in an artificially created chloride ion-induced corrosion environment. The results show that the steel in cracks was activated once the transverse crack occurred on concrete element, and the macrocell corrosion must co-exist with microcell corrosion of reinforcements in test specimens with transverse crack. The macrocell current of steel elements were separated from the crack width, and the wider the transverse crack is, the higher corroded area and the greater microcell current of the rebar is. Oxygen and water go into concrete through crack instead of through concrete cover. The epoxy coating cannot prevent the occurrence and propagation of crack, so it was not effective to prevent corrosion of steel bars in cracked concrete. (C) 2016 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
