Figure 6
Analysis of chloride penetration in concrete with two equal-width cracks.
(a) Concrete with two parallel cracks: crack width 0.3 mm, crack depth 10 mm, and exposure period 20 weeks |
(b) Meshing of concrete |
(c) Analysis results, contour of free chloride ion concentration in concrete with two parallel cracks |
(d) Comparison of chloride penetration depth between one crack and two cracks |
