ABSTRACT
The model used for the direct simulation of the extent of damage has been described in more detail in Papakonstantinou & Shinozuka (2010). It can simulate all three stages of reinforced concrete corrosion, i.e. corrosion initiation, crack initiation and propagation. Nonetheless, just for clarity purposes, the extent of damage that refers to portion of the structure exceeding a certain crack width is not considered in this paper. Therefore, the crack propagation stage is not described.
