Prismatic concrete specimens with two water-to-cement ratios, two concrete cover thicknesses with and without steel fibers were used. Three-point 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/openAccessCorrosionCracked ConcreteCorrosion RateChloride ProfilesDiffusion CoefficientFibersSustained Crack WidthSustained FlexureArticle103376Q31031544062331WOS:000594111600002Q4
