Prismatic concrete specimens with two water-tocement ratios, two concrete cover thicknesses with and without steel fibers were used. Threepoint flexural loading was applied to form cracks and cracks were sustained by a bolt system. Half-cell potential and corrosion rate measurements were carried out following wetting - drying cycles in chloride environment which were continued for 80 weeks. The positive effects of lower water-to-cement ratio and greater cover depth were found to be surpassed by existence of cracks in concrete.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United StatesCorrosioncracked concretecorrosion ratechloride profilesdiffusion coefficientfiberssustained crack widthsustained flexureArticle316103151033710.18400/tekderg.4305362-s2.0-85087156290Q3440623WOS:000594111600002Q4
