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 paper presents the effect of recycled aggregate on the structural design in replacement of natural aggregate. As an actual structure, the concrete airshaft in a subway under construction was chosen and design-criteria obtained from experiments in association with different ratios of recycled aggregate were applied. It was found from the analysis that recycled aggregate can be applied to real concrete structures considering just strength concept and also if other unknown problems such as quality, serviceability and so on be solved.

일반적으로, 원전구조물은 다량의 철근이 사용되어 시공과정에서 여러 잠재적 문제점이 발생한다. 특히, 구조부재의 연결부위는 수많은 갈고리철근, 매입철물과 주변 철근 등에 의해 심각한 과밀현상이 발생하므로 여타 다른 부위보다 콘크리트 타설에 더 큰 어려움이 야기 된다. 원전구조물에 사용되는 일반강도(ASTM A615 Gr.60)의 대구경(43 mm & 57 mm) 표준갈고리 철근을 대신하여 고강도(ASTM A615 Gr.80)의 대구경(43 mm & 57 mm) 확대머리 철근을 사용할 수 있도록 관련 기술기준을 개정하여 철근 과밀배근 문제를 해결하는 데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 확대머리 철근을 원전구조물에 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 기존의 정착성능을 그대로 유지하거나 그 이상으로 증가시키면서 사용 제한요건을 완화는 방안을 찾아야 하므로 철근직경, 철근 항복강도, 측면피복 두께와 같이 확대머리 철근의 사용을 제한하는 변수 영향을 검토할 수 있는 실험결과를 분석하여 정착성능을 평가하였다.

본 연구에서는 지하 콘크리트 구조물의 누수 균열에 사용되는 주입형 누수보수재료의 품질관리 방안으로 규격화된 국제표준 ISO TS 16774, Part 2 Test method for chemical resistance를 이용하여 현재 우리나라 누수보수현장에서 사용하고 있는 주입형 누수보수재료 2계열 (합성고무계, 시멘트계), 3종류 씩, 총 9 종류의 보수재료에 대한 지하 콘크리트 구조물이 처한 화학적 환경의 저항 안정성을 연구·검토하였다. 그 결과, 합성고무계는 RG-3를 제외하고, 산에 대한 저항력을 높일 수 있는 재료적 검토가 필요하고, 시멘트계는 수산화나트륨, 염화나트륨에 대한 저항을 높일 수 있는 재료적 검토의 필요성이 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 콘크리트 구조물의 화학적 환경에서의 보수재료 선정 시 기본 지 표로 사용가능 할 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 추후에 연구 개발 되는 보수재료의 품질 향상에 반영할 수 있는 기준 자료의 활용을 기대할 수 있다.

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 study is to evaluate the seismic demand of reinforced concrete structure considering the incident angle of the ground motions. For this purpose, a three-story structure is numerically analyzed under the three ground motion records through a multi-component incremental dynamic analysis (MIDA). The MIDA, an implementation of Incremental dynamic analysis, investigates two components of seismic excitation in which all accelerations are scaled to spectral accelerations at the fundamental natural periods of the buildings. The obtained results indicate the influence of the incident angle should be considered in the assessment response of structures. Maximum inter-story drift of structure will behave in the elastic or inelastic range depending on the variable incident angle

Soundless Chemical Demolition Agent (SCDA) has been spotlighted for demolition of concrete structure or rock near or in urban areas and historical places since it does not produce dust or rock fragmentations compared to explosive and gas pressure blasting methods. However, there is no guideline or design code for the demolition of existing structures using SCDA. In this study, numerical analysis using ABAQUS is conducted in order to find a minimum required pressure for the initiation of crack in concrete body with SCDA and obtained results in this study could be a basic data for design of hole spacing for the demolition of the structures using SCDAs.

The purpose of this research is to consider the qualitative and quantitative performance of reinforced concrete deteriorations using active infrared thermography (IRT) technique. An experiment of five different cases of environmental conditions was conducted on a concrete slab in laboratory. A comparison of the IRT results between normal and reinforced concrete is also discussed. The results showed that the absolute contrast between defective area and non-defective area increases with the increment of ambient temperature. Besides, the values of absolute contrast above delamination obtained from normal concrete showed high than those under effect of reinforcing steel bar.

When reinforcing an existing reinforced concrete beam-column building with a precast concrete panel, special connection between the PC member and the RC member is required to solve the time dependent deformation of the RC member and to receive the large shear forces. The aim of this study is to obtain the shear strength of upper connection between the existing RC beam-column and infilled PC wall panels in experimentally and theoretically. Thus, the static shear loading tests were conducted on the 6 specimens with the plate connection. Shear failure was resulted from the weakest portion of interior PC panel, exterior RC, and the connection, when the PC portion which located at the center of specimen was pulled upward from the bottom. The experimental result was compared with analytical result from ACI 318M-14 Chapter 17 for the shear strength of post-installed anchor and PCI Handbook 7th edition 6.8 Structural Steel Corbel (PCI Design Handbook 7th edition, 2010) for the strength of cast-in H-beam. The analytical and experimental results show final failure at the same location. The failure loading of experiment showed larger than average 6% to that of the analysis.
