The model was also used to determine the Available online patterns of crack for a different number of bars and the effect of bar diameter on cracking pressure. 3 September 2019 Keywords The critical pressure was measured experimentally by applying hydraulic pressure through a hole Concrete cover in concrete cubes of 150 mm. Abaqus was used as a modeling platform. From the Concrete grade experimentation and numerical modeling it was found that with the increase of cover thickness Corrosion the critical pressure was increased irrespective of bar locations. A lower cracking pressure was Cracking pressure observed for corner bar with respect to the sidebar. On the other hand with the increase in bar Hydraulic oil diameter a decrease in cracking pressure was observed. The critical pressure observed was also increased with higher grades of concrete. For corner bars with cover thickness mm the critical pressure was found as 6-10 MPa and it increased up to 17 MPa for the cover thickness of 64 mm for different
