14 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Coupled and corrosion processes allow for the simulation of initiation and propagation of chlorideinduced corrosion in reinforced concrete may be used to predict the service of reinforced concrete if a certain limit state, e.g. initiation of corrosion or certain cross sectional reduction, is set governing parameters can be assessed with the and used to optimise structures in terms of service Moisture, temperature, oxygen, chloride Material and Anode 27 DTU Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS Corrosion-induced concrete damage thermal analogy may be used to mimic any type of solid corrosion product that is formed penetration of corrosion products into cementitious materials has a considerable influence on the time-to crack initiation and propagation can be used to investigate the impact of varying geometrical parameters and material properties on the formation and propagation of cracks Moisture, etc. Material and Anode 28 DTU Civil Engineering, Technical University of Denmark
