Investigated were relationships between deteriorated coating surface conditions of laboratory test panels determined by image processing software and coating impedance data collected with Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS). This study demonstrates that estimation of log(Rpo)at a certain deterioration stage is feasible via field image processing alone without running in-situ EIS measurements and going through time consuming EIS fitting analysis.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical property of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate. Slump of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate measured 120~140mm, which are lower than slump of NWAC. Compared to compressive strength of NWAC, compressive strength of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate showed a level of 82.8~95.9%.

This study investigates the effect of surface coating materials on the level of resistance of concrete carbonation. For the surface coating materials, paint (Pa), waste cooking oil (WCO) and waste cooking oil + paint (WCO + Pa) were prepared and applied on the surface of concrete specimens after exposure to accelerated carbonation environment for four weeks.
