- Abstract
- Cracked concrete members reinforced with Cr-bearing rebars were assumed for the purpose of developing Cr-bearing rebars having the required corrosion resistance in macrocell corrosion environments induced by cracking in cover concrete. The service life of concrete structures reinforced with Cr-bearing rebars was then estimated based on a macrocell corrosion rate model, and their Cr content to achieve a service life of 100 years was calculated. As a result, the service life of concrete reinforced with Cr-bearing rebars was found to increase as their Cr content increased regardless of the corrosive environment type, The calculation also revealed that Cr contents of 16% or more and 13% or more would lead to a service life of over 100 years in harsh and moderate chloride attack zones, respectively. In a carbonation zone, the Cr content to achieve a service life of over 100 years was calculated to be 9% or more.
