Abstract Steel corrosion constitutes the primary factor compromising the durability of reinforced concrete structures. It significantly compromises structural safety and service life by inducing concrete cover cracking, reducing steel cross-sectional area, and degrading bond strength. This summary systematically examines research progress in corrosion layer distribution models at the steel-concrete interface and the prediction of corrosion-induced cracking time. Research indicates that non-uniform corrosion layer distribution prevails in engineering practice, and its morphology significantly influences cracking behavior. Among existing prediction models, non-uniform distribution models and numerical models demonstrate superior alignment with practical engineering observations, yet require further optimization through integration of multi-physical field mechanisms and long-term field monitoring data. Future research should prioritize the development of multi-peak asymmetric corrosion layer models and the refinement of analytical methods for non-uniform corrosion to offer robust theoretical foundations for the durability design of reinforced concrete structures.
