To ensure the safety of weathering steel structures, it is important to evaluate the time-dependent corrosion behavior. Thus, progress and effect of corrosion damage on weathering steel members should be evaluated, but predicted corrosion depth do not go far enough until now, which is affected by the corrosion environment. In this study, the corrosion resistant of weathering steel was examined to quantifiably investigate and compare the corrosion depth of carbon and weathering steel.

NaCl과 LiNO2의 첨가량에 따른 콘크리트에 매립된 철근의 부식거동을 전기화학적 임피던스 분광법을 이용하여 고찰하였다. 부식 가속 방법중 하나인 건습반복법을 이용하여 단기간 내에 부식현상을 촉진하였으며, 측정된 임피던스 값을 통해 등가회로를 제안할 수 있었다. NaCl 1.2 kg/m3이 첨가된 콘크리트에 매립된 철근의 부동태 피막이 빠르게 파괴되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 염화물 첨가량 대비 0.6M의 LiNO2를 첨가한 경우 부식진행속도가 크게 저하하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 염화물 첨가량 대비 1.2M의 LiNO2를 첨가한 경우 부동태 피 막이 부식가속시간이 지나도 파괴되지 않고 성능이 유지되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

In this study, Corrosion behavior in mortar was observed by the passage of time by using EIS method. As a result of EIS experiment, equivalent circuit and changes of Impedance parameter could be observed. In addition, it was confirmed that impedance of rebar in mortar and corrosion rate according to the amount of NaCl were different.
