Resumo

Este artículo estudia el proceso de fisuración del hormigón por corrosión de la armadura. Se presenta un modelo de transporte de cloruros en el hormigón, que contempla la no-linealidad de los coeficientes de difusión, las isotermas de absorción y el fenómeno de convección. A partir de los resultados de penetración de cloruros, se establece la corrosión de la armadura con la consiguiente expansión radial. La fisuración del hormigón se estudia con un modelo de fisura embebida. Los dos modelos (iniciación y propagación) se incorporan en un programa de elementos finitos. El modelo se contrasta con resultados experimentales, obteniéndose un buen ajuste. Una de las dificultades es establecer el umbral de concentración de cloruros que da lugar al inicio de la corrosión de la armadura.This paper is focused on the chloride-induced corrosion of the rebar in RC. A comprehensive model for the chloride ingress into concrete is presented, with special attention to non-linear diffusion coefficients, chloride binding isotherms and convection phenomena. Based on the results of chloride diffusion, subsequent active corrosion is assumed and the radial expansion of the corroded reinforcement reproduced. For cracking simulation, the Strong Discontinuity Approach is applied. Both models (initiation and propagation corrosion stages) are incorporated in the same finite element program and chained. Comparisons with experimental results are carried out, with reasonably good agreements being obtained, especially for cracking patterns. Major limitations refer to difficulties to establish precise levels of basic data such as the chloride ion content at concrete surface, the chloride threshold concentration that triggers active corrosion, the rate of oxide production or the rust mechanical properties.
