It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to chloride and sulfate attack environments lead to significant deterioration in their durability due to chloride ion and sulfate ion attack. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cementless concrete replacing the cement with ground granulated blast furnace slag. For this purpose, the cementless concrete specimens were made for water-binder ratios of 40%, 45%, and 50%, respectively and then this specimens were cured in the water of 20±3℃ and immersed in fresh water, 10% sodium sulfate solution for 28 and 91 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to chloride ion and sulfate attack for the cementless concrete specimens, the diffusion coefficient for chloride ion and compressive strength ratio, mass change ratio, and length change ratio were measured according to the NT BUILD 492 and JSTM C 7401, respectively. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against chloride ion and sulfate attack of the cemetntless concrete were comparatively largely increased than those of OPC concrete with decreasing water-binder ratio.

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.

In this study, the resistance of chloride penetration and sulfate attack of mortar substituted heavyweight waste glass were evaluated. As a result, chloride penetration depth and diffusion coefficient decreased with the substitution of waste glass, chloride penetration resistance is increased. For sulfate attack resistance, the effect of heavyweight waste glass was little.

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.

This study investigated the durability performance of concrete to which Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) was applied for penetrating water repellency. As the results of study, From test of the resistance to chloride ion penetration, superior salt-resistance was shown in comparison to plain concrete, by the application of PDMS. Experimental results of SM and IM showed more than twofold improved salt-resistance compared to plain concrete.

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.

Recently, the concern on the deterioration of concrete due to de-icing salts and its counter measurements has been increased. This paper discusses the durability Assessment procedure of RC Structures against chloride attack under depicing salt environments.

Maintenance costs, depending on the occurrence of deterioration expressway bridges has been increasing at a very rapid rate (approximately 200% increase in the last five years). In order to reduce the damage caused by water leakage and de-icing salt damage, We proposed a design improvement of concrete slab edge.

콘크리트 구조물은 경제적이고 내구적인 구조물이지만 철근부식에 따라 성능이 내구적, 구조적 저하하게 된다. 최근들어 내구성설계가 도입되고 있는데, 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명은 해수에 같이 노출되더라도, 국부적인 노출환경과 설계방법에 따라 다르게 평가된다. 본 연구는 3.5년∼4.5년 해수에 노출된 4개의 RC 교각을 대상으로 실태조사를 수행하여 25개의 콘크리트 코어를 채취하였으며, 전염화물을 평가하여 표면염화물량 및 겉보기 확산계수를 도출하였다. Fick's 2nd Law를 기본으로 한 결정론적 방법과 임계확률을 고려한 확률론적인 방법을 수행하여 내구수명을 각각 평가하고 분석하였다. 확률론적인 방법은 보수적으로 평가되었으며, 같은 구조물이라 하더라도 간만대 및 40.0 m 이상의 비말대에서는 비교적 낮은 내구수명이 평가되었다. 본 연구에서는 코어채취높이에 따른 염화물 거동 분석과 내구성 설계방법의 현시점에서의 한계성이 분석되었다.

Chloride attack, one of the reasons for early deterioration of concrete, is a phenomenon where detrimental ions such as chlorine ion penetrate into concrete from outside to diffuse and corrode the steel rebar, greatly deteriorating the durability of RC members or structures. Sources of chloride attack can be divided into the direct / indirect influence caused by seawater or its splash in the maritime environment and the de-icing salts used for the purpose of thawing the ice on the wintry road. Most notably, the usage of de-icing salts is essential for the safety of drivers and smooth traffic flows in expressways. However, they also quicken the deterioration of concretes, necessitating the countermeasures for the problem. This paper discusses the early deterioration and measurements of RC Structures under de-icing salts environments.

In this study, the rahmen bridge damaged by the chloride attack was investigated. According to the investigation, the degraded concretes on cantilever kerb and end part were intensively observed. Thus, the chloride content test and half-cell method were performed to evaluate the degraded parts. As a result, the contents of chloride on degraded parts were C and D grade. On the other hand, the half-cell potential values of rebar in degraded concrete were measured with the minor corrosion. Thus, the freeze-thawing action due to deicing water is more influential than the expansion of rebar corrosion by chloride attack. Consequently, the economical repairs of degraded parts is more favorable than the replacement of the degraded parts. Also, it is necessary to inhibit the corrosion of rebar in concrete.
