This study was conducted to analyze seasonal variations of de-icing salt ions harvested from soils and plants according to salt damage of Pinus densiflora f. multicaulis, a evergreen conifer, on roadsides. Pinus densiflora f. multicaulis was divided into three groups referred to SD, ND, and WD (serious salt damage (SD) = 71 100%, normal salt damage (ND) = 31 70%, and weak salt damage (WD) = 0 30%) based on the degree of visible foliage damage, and measured acidity (pH), electrical conductivity(EC), and de-icing salt ions (K+, Ca2+, Na+, and Mg2+) harvested from soils and plants. The results indicated that acidity, electrical conductivity, and de-icing salt ions of soils and plants were significantly affected by seasonal variation and salt damage. In addition, a strong positive liner relationship was observed in plants between the concentration of de-icing salts and salt damage in spring, while the relationship among seasonal variation and salt damage in soil were not significant. The results from this study has important implications for the management of conifer species in relation to salinity and roadsides maintenance.

염해에 콘크리트 구조물은 사용기간의 증가에 따라 내구성에 문제가 발생하므로 보수를 포함한 유지관리가 필수적이다. 일반적으로 결정론적인 방법으로 내구수명이 결정되고 이에 따라 유지관리비가 평가되고 있으나, 확률론적 유지관리 기법을 고려할 경우 연속적인 보수비용이 평가되므로 합리적인 유지관리가 가능하다. 기존의 확률론적 유지관리 기법에서는 정규분포만 고려되었으나, 본 연구에서는 초기 내구수명 및 보수에 따른 수명-확률함수에 로그함수를 고려할 수 있도록 개선되었으며, OPC 및 GGBFS를 사용한 콘크리트에 대하여 보수비용을 평가하였다. 로그 함수를 가지는 수명-확률함수는 중앙값 이전보다 이후에 미치는 영향이 지배적이므로 초기 내구수명 분포에 유리하며 전반적으로 낮은 보수비용을 도출할 수 있다. GGBFS를 사용한 콘크리트는 OPC 콘크리트 비하여 높은 내구수명과 낮은 보수횟수를 통하여 30% 수준으로 보수비가 감소하였다. 본 연구에서 도출된 확률론적 유지관기 기법은 정규분포 뿐 아니라 로그분포를 가지는 수명-확률함수를 초기 및 다양한 보수시기에 적용할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있으며, 더욱 합리적인 보수비용을 도출할 수 있다.

Chloride penetration into concrete is the main cause of the corrosion of steel in concrete structures exposed to chloride-rich environments. As a preventive or remedial method, surface treatments on concrete have been increasingly applied to both new and existing concrete structures to combat this problem. So far, knowledge of how a surface treatment reduces chloride diffusion is limited and the relationship between chloride diffusion resistance and surface treatment parameters, such as thickness, porosity and diffusion coefficient, has not been quantitatively identified. In this paper, chloride ion penetration modeling is performed to predict the service life of the surface treated concrete.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 대표적인 열화현상인 염해를 억제하고자 여러 가지 연구가 진행되었는데, 그 중에서 혼화재료를 콘크리트에 혼입하여 사용하는 방법이 대표적으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 콘크리트 혼화재료인 플라이애시를 혼입한 콘크리트와 OPC 콘크리트에 대하여 3가지 수준의 물-결합재비(37%, 42%, 47%)를 고려해 내구성능 평가를 실시하였다. 각 목표 재령일에서 Tang's method에 준하여 촉진 염화물 확산계수 측정 실험을, ASTM C 1202에 준하여 통과전하량 측정 실험을, KS F 2405에 준하여 압축강도 실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 기존의 연구결과인 재령 28일의 실험결과를 참고하여 확산계수에 대한 시간의존성지수(m)를 도출하여 고찰하였으며, 장기재령의 압축강도와 시간의존성지수 간의 상관관계를 평가하였다. 재령 49일부터 플라이애시 혼입 콘크리트에서 OPC 콘크리트 대비 개선된 염해저항성능을 나타내었으며 이는 포졸란 반응에 의해 생성된 불용성의 수화물이 원인으로 사료된다. 플라이애시 혼입 콘크리트에서 OPC 콘크리트 대비 약 1.5배 높은 시간의존성지수를 나타내었으며, 압축강도와의 상관관계 평가 결과, OPC 콘크리트는 압축강도가 증가할수록 선형적으로 시간의존성지수가 증가하는 경향을, 플라이애시 콘크리트는 압축강도가 증가할수록 선형적으로 시간의존성지수가 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

Chloride attack is one of the most critical deterioration due to rapid corrosion initiation and propagation which can cause structural safety problem. Extended service life through repairing is very important for determination of maintenance strategy. Conventionally adopted models for estimation of LCC (Life Cycle Cost) have shown step-shaped elevation of cost, however the extension of service life is much affected by quality of construction and repairing materials, which means engineering uncertainties in residual service life. In the paper, RC (Reinforced Concrete) column with three different mix proportions exposed to chloride attack are considered, and repairing numbers with related costs are evaluated through probabilistic technique for maintenance. When calculating repair frequency for intended service life through probabilistic model, the required repair frequency is evaluated to be 6.71 times for OPC, 4.09 times for SG30, and 2.95 times for SG 50, respectively. The probabilistic model for repairing cost is evaluated to be effective for reducing the repair frequency reasonably with changing the intended service life and design parameters.

In this study, the performance of the self-healing with the granulated alkali activator (Ca(OH)2) manufactured in seawater environment is investigated for crack healing under 300 μm of cracks. Specimens combined with GGBFS and OPC with and without the granulated alkali activator were manufactured and immersed in seawater. After that, crack recovery on the surface of the specimens with the granulated alkali activator (Ca(OH)2) was also evaluated by the ultrasonic pulse velocity test. From the results, it was verified that cementitious materials with the granulated alkali activator, exposed in marine environments, could be able to heal or seal inside cracks

염해에 따라 발생하는 보수시기와 보수로 유지되는 내구수명은 보수비용 평가에 매우 중요한 요소이다. 일반적으로 사용하는 결정 론적 보수비용 평가는 사용기간의 연장에 따라 계단식으로 증가하게 되며, 보수로 인해 변동되는 내구수명의 변화를 고려하지 못한다. 본 연구 에서는 확률론적인 보수시기 및 비용을 평가하기 위해, 염해에 노출된 콘크리트 교각을 선정하였다. 두 가지 배합과 염화물에 노출된 외부 환 경조건을 고려하여 염화물 거동을 평가하였으며, 도출된 내구수명과 수명에 대한 확률변수를 변화시키면서 보수시기 및 비용 변화를 분석하 였다. 변동계수의 변화에 따른 보수회수는 큰 차이가 발생하지 않았으나, 초기의 내구수명 연장이 구조물의 보수시기 및 비용에 큰 영향을 미 치고 있었다. 또한 확률론적 보수비용 산정 모델은 결정론적 모델과 다르게 연속적인 보수비용이 평가되므로 목표내구수명에 따라 보수회수 를 감소시킬 수 있는 효과적인 기법임을 규명되었다.

The main cause of corrosion in reinforced concrete is diffusion of degradation factors such as chloride ions, carbon dioxide, and sulfate ions. To monitor the extent of the corrosion in reinforced concrete, it is necessary to recognize and track the diffusion of degradation factors. In this paper, we suggest thin-film iron sensorto measure the penetration of chloride ions. The sensor indicates results as electrical resistance and change in electrical resistance. The sensor and contact pad are connected by an anisotropic conducting film (ACF) bonding in order to reduce the influence of the contact electrical resistance. The sensor’s electrical resistance increases with corrosive behavior and external chloride ion concentration. Use of these thin-film iron sensors enables measurement and monitoring of the depth of chloride ion diffusion in concrete.

This research developed eco-friendly UHPC using industrial by-products (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag, Bottom Ash) by replacing cement and silica powder. The Chloride Penetration Resistances of the developed eco-friendly UHPC were evaluated. It is found that the developed eco-friendly UHPC shows adequate compressive strength and enhanced chloride durability.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate salt attack durability of the concrete structure which has experienced the fire. Mechanical properties and chloride ion diffusivity of concrete specimens were measured after 2 hours heating at 200℃, 400℃, 600℃, 800℃. FEM analysis was conducted to predict the life expectancy of RC structure using the property values by a series of experiment.

In previous research, the durability of the concrete was improved by filling the capillary voids with soap by the saponification reaction of the glycerin ester of the oil and the alkali of the concrete. Thus, in this research, there will be an experimental investigation on the effects of various strengths on the resistance to salt attack resistance by applying ordinary strength concrete.
