COUPLED CORROSION AND FATIGUE EFFECTS IN REINFORCED CEMENT CONCRETE MEMBERS USING MULTI-PHYSICS APPROACH

Coupled corrosion fatigue causes the reinforced concrete structures to fail prematurely, leading to a brittle type of failure. In this paper, numerical simulation using commercially available FE solvers has been performed to understand the behavior of reinforced cement concrete members under the coupled effects of fatigue and corrosion.
