Consider a reinforcing bar embedded in concrete. In a marine environment this bar undergoes
uniform corrosion, which leads to deposition of corrosion products on its surface and an
increase in apparent volume of the bar. This subjects the surrounding concrete to expansive
pressure. As a result, corrosion cracks appear at surface of concrete. Which of the following
statement is true?
