All over the world, concrete gravity dams have to withstand lots of environmental hazards and time-varying external loading during an earthquake. Therefore, the risk assessment of this structure with time may become an important study for the dam structure, which is related to the chemo-mechanical effect on the aging concrete. The focusing point of this study is to propose an earthquake assessment procedure to determine the failure probability with time of any concrete gravity dam for the future if we consider the material deterioration. This material decay is mainly associated with the modulus of elasticity of the concrete and it is explained briefly in the manuscript.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of long - term deterioration factor of 12 months on 6 kinds of coating waterproofing materials (polyurethane 1, 2, acrylic rubber, polyurea, rubber asphalt, cement - As a part of the study to characterize the performance change in material aspect, the research was carried out on the tensile strength of the polyurea coating waterproofing material against the performance change in the long term exposure to the chemical erosion environment. As shown in the test results, it was mainly performed in an acidic environment, and it can be confirmed that polyurea is not resistant to acid. In the alkali and sodium chloride environment, the tensile strength after immersion for the last 12 months showed a decrease in strength within about 10% of the initial tensile strength, and it was confirmed that the resistance was excellent in an alkali environment.

In the case of durability evaluation with the two indexes only some considerations are suggested by the comparison of the existing and recalculated degradation model.

In many climatic conditions, there is UV ray, which is called ultraviolet rays, which has the greatest effect on sealing materials. Because UV has high energy, it changes the internal structure of polymer and causes quality deterioration. In addition, temperature, humidity, and rainfall, snowfall, and atmospheric pollutants are also factors to be avoided in maintaining the integrity of the sealant.

콘크리트는 장기수명이 요구되는 구조물에 적합한 건설재료로 내구성이 우수하지만 장기간 지하수에 노출되어 발생하는 칼슘용출 현상에 대한 이해 및 이에 따른 RC 부재의 휨 거동 특성을 평가할 필요가 있다. 실험결과에 따르면, 광물질 혼화재는 RC 부재의 장기강도 개선에 효과적이지만, 칼슘용출이 발생하면 RC 부재의 항복하중 및 휨 강성이 감소하고 중립축깊이와 처짐량이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 칼슘용출에 의한 열화는 RC 부재의 성능 저하를 유발하므로 칼슘용출 환경에 노출되는 지하구조물에 광물질 혼화재가 적용될 경우에는, 광물질 혼화재 종류에 따른 최적 혼입 비율이 마련되어야할 것으로 사료된다.

Recently, steel has been very frequently chosen in building many civil infra-structures including bridges due to its several beneficial advantages as compared to concrete structures. However, for the most cases, damage such as section reduction, that is resulted from corrosion, was natural and inevitable. Therefore, it becomes very important to evaluate the structural safety and to estimate the life for the worst cases. In this study, the corrosion behaviors of mock-up specimen with box girder were examined by visual inspection.
