Abstract
Under the assumption that the corrosion at the end of steel bolt or steel bar is shaped like the contour line of ellipsoid, a mathematic model and formulas of calculating the thickness of corrosion layer at arbitrary point are presented in this paper. Then regarding the arbitrary points of 3D corrosion layer as patch element model of fictitious displacement discontinuity, we propose the basic solution of 3D problem of the patch element acting on discontinuous displacement. With three basic assumptions of the corrosion layer, we set up the 3D numerical discreted model, and derive the stress boundary equation for fictitious corrosion layer of 3D numerical analysis. We also make the numerical stimulating calculation, of the shotcrete structure at some lane using 3D finite element method. The results show that this method is effective and reasonable.
