## Abstract Corrosion of carbon steel rebars is the main cause of failure of reinforced concrete structures. To prevent and delay the occurrence of corrosion, a high quality concrete with a proper cover and a good mixture proportion should be designed. Additional prevention methods are used if seve

Abstract
The prediction of concrete cracking due to corrosion in atmospheric/carbonated conditions is a major issue for the evaluation of the durability of structures and the choice of maintenance policies. Because of the complexity of the phenomenon, a fully predictive approach is still missing. The proposed work can be considered as one step in this direction. It deals with a modelling study achieved at the Commissariat Γ l'Energie Atomique (CEA) with the CAST3M finite elements software. Model is constituted of three components: (1) concrete hydric behaviour, (2) rebar corrosion and (3) mechanical consequences on concrete (mainly concrete cracking). Actual developments consider analogies between rebar corrosion mechanisms and atmospheric corrosion ones, assuming that corrosion processes are influenced by the relative humidity evolution of atmosphere and/or of concrete.

## Abstract Since the initiation stage of the damage process due to reinforcement corrosion had been successfully investigated in the recent past, the damage progress in the propagation stage is currently in the focus of research. This work deals with the mechanisms of cracking and spalling due to
## Abstract The time of incubation (TI) and chloride threshold (CT) necessary to initiate corrosion of reinforcement steel are crucial variables to predict the useful life of an infrastructure in any model. For black steel there is a great amount of data in the bibliography. However, for galvanized
