description This study aims to develop a refined calculation model that incorporates the effects of distributed reinforcement on crack propagation, validated through experimental and theoretical analysis, to improve the accuracy and applicability of nondestructive corrosion assessments. In this paper, two reinforced concrete slabs were made to consider the influence of distributed reinforcement on the corrosion process of main reinforcement.An accelerated surface cracking method was used, employing reinforcement electrification. This approach tested the relationship between crack width in reinforced concrete slabs and the corrosion rate of main reinforcement. On the basis of the existing calculation model of the relationship between the corrosion rate of reinforcement and the width of concrete surface crack, combined with the development mechanism of concrete surface crack caused by the corrosion expansion of main reinforcement under the lateral constraint conditions, a calculation model of the surface crack width of reinforced concrete slab and the corrosion rate of reinforcement is established. The comparison shows that the calculation results of the model in this paper can better reflect the test rules, and provide a reference for nondestructive quantitative detection of reinforcement corrosion in concrete structures.
