The Age-adjusted effective Modulus Method(AEMM) is one of the methods adopted for the construction stage analysis of concrete structures. The AEMM uses the aging factor to consider the effects of the varying concrete stress. In the aspects of computation time and the accuracy of the results, the AEMM is considered as one of most appropriate methods for construction stage analysis of tall building structures. Previous researches proposed appropriate values of the aging factor in the forms of graphs or using very simple equations. In this paper, an equation for estimating the aging factor as a function of rebar ratio in the section, compressive strength of concrete, notional member dimension, and age of concrete at the load application. The validity of aging factor proposed in this paper were examined by the comparison with the results of step-by step method.

원자력발전소 콘크리트 구조물은 해안가에 접해 있으며, 해수를 취수하여 냉각수로 사용하기 때문에 염해에 의한 내구성은 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 3년간의 염해 장기침지시험을 실시하여 염화물이온확산계수의 변화 및 재령계수(m)을 평가한 결과 4,000 Class인 구조물 기초의 m은 0.35~0.39로 KCI나 ACI 제안값과 유사한 결과를 나타내었고 5,000 Class인 필수 냉각수 구조물 및 터널은 0.44~0.53, 6,000 Class인 원자로 격납건물은 0.62로 FIB 제안값과 유사하였다. 실측된 재령계수로 내구수명을 예측한 결과 원전의 모든 안전관련 콘크리트 구조물은 설계수명 60년 이상을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper presents evaluation of diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength considering 3 substitution ratios of fly ash(0%, 30%, and 50%) and 3 different W/B ratios(37%, 42%, and 47%). Also, the relationships among diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength are investigated focusing on the results at 28 days and 180 days. With increasing replacement ratio of FA and decreasing W/B, the resistances to chlorides(diffusion coefficient and passed charge) are improved. At 28 days and 180 days, linear relationship are observed between strength and resistance to chloride on the whole.

In the work, HPC (High Performance Concrete) samples are prepared with 3 levels of W/B (water to binder) ratios of 0.37, 0.42, and 0.27 and 3 levels of replacement ratios of 0%, 30% and 50%. Several tests containing chloride diffusion coefficient, passed charge, and compressive strength are performed considering age effect of 28 days and 180 days. Chloride diffusion is more reduced in OPC concrete with lower W/B ratio, and GGBFS concrete with 50% replacement ratio shows significant reduction of chloride diffusion in higher W/B ratio. At the age of 28 days, GGBFS concrete with 50% replacement ratio shows more rapid reduction of chloride diffusion than strength development, which reveals that abundant GGBFS replacement has effective resistance to chloride penetration even in the early-aged condition.

The AEMM uses the ageing factor to consider the effects of the increase of the modulus of elasticity of concrete with time on the deformation and stress distribution of reinforced concrete members. Previous researches proposed appropriate values of the ageing factor when the applied load is constant or the deformation is concstant. In this paper, the validity of ageing factor for the building structures were studied by the comparison with the results of step-by step method

In this study, to estimate the corrosion initiation time of reinforced concrete structures subjected to chlorine environments, a 2-parameter model for the age factor of concrete diffusion coefficients is proposed and its applicability is discussed.

비파괴시험에 의한 콘크리트 압축강도 추정시 반발경도법은 콘크리트 타설 후 시간경과에 따라 재령계수를 적용하고 있으나 초음파속도법은 적용되지 않고 있다. 재령경과에 따른 콘크리트 초음파속도의 변화에 대한 재령계수 적용의 필요성에 대하여 검토해야함에도 불구하고 그에 대한 연구가 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구는 콘크리트 초음파속도를 측정하여 강도 추정식에 적용될 재령계수를 산정하기 위한 실험을 실시한 결과, 초음파속도는 콘크리트 경화에 따라 재령 초기 기준치에 비교하면 급격한 변화를 보여 재령계수를 반드시 적용해야 한다는 것을 알 수 있었으며 실험결과에 의해 콘크리트 초음파속도의 재령계수를 제안하였다.
