Visual inspection has generally been applied to examine the coating deterioration. However, it was difficult to evaluate an anti-corrosion performance of paint film. In this study, thus, to quantitatively evaluate an anti-corrosion performance of paint film under various corrosion enviornent, change in the impedance paint coating was evauated using EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy).

The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar with ultra high-early strength cement and EVA at polymer-cement ratio of 80%, curing ages of 7-day, and coating thickness of 100㎛ is about 1.32 and 1.38 times respectively, the strength of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is also high bond strength at coating thicknesses of 75㎛ and 100㎛ compared with 150㎛ and 250㎛. It is apparent in this study that the coating thickness is very important factors to improve the bond strength of PCS-coated rebar to cement concrete.

Indices are selected for the evaluation of deterioration of coated steel, and an evaluation method is proposed for each index. The evaluation methods proposed in this study are then applied on the existing inspection data measured on site, and the correlation between the resulting evaluation scores and service life of the coating is derived statistically. This correlation called to as the deterioration model can be used to determine the performance grade for the durability of coated steel.

The ultimate load of beam reinforced with polymer cement slurry(PCS)-coated rebar is a little lower than that of un-coated rebar, and almost the same as that epoxy-coated rebar. In special, that using EVA 50% with is in range of 97.0% of un-coated rebar. In this study, it is also apparent that PCS-coated rebar can replace epoxy-coated rebar to solve the corrosion problem in marine construction field.

In order to prepare the information needed to construct a reduction system for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) exhausted from ship-block paint-booths in a giant shipyard, VOCs in paint-shop airs were analyzed and compared to the components in paint thinners. Aromatic hydrocarbons containing eight and nine carbon atoms are known to be major VOC compounds found in shipyard paint-shops. The total hydrocarbon (THC(C7)) concentrations calibrated using toluene gas, were measured in block paint-shops with two photo-ionization detector (PID) meters, and the resulting THC(C7) data were converted to THC(C1) concentrations according to the Standard Methods for the Measurements of Air Pollution in South Korea. THC(C1) concentrations near the spray site ranged from 10 to 2,000 ppm, but they were less than 400 ppm near the walls of the paint-booth. The measurements of THC concentrations, based on the height of the monitoring sites, were related to the height of the target to which the spray paints were applied. The maximum concentrations occurred at almost the same height as the spray targets. When painted blocks had been dried-by warming with no spraying, the THC concentrations were 80~100 ppm.

Reinforced concrete hume pipes have been widely used as drain pipes. However, many reinforced concrete hume pipes are exposed to the deteriorated environments such as freezing-thawing damage, chemical attack and chloride ion immersion by using sea sand. The purpose of this study is to improve the durability of reinforced concrete hume pipe by using the polymer cement slurry(PCS)-coated rebar and treating the surface by polymer cement mortar(PCM). From the test results, it is apparent that PCS-coated rebar has a excellent resistance to chloride ion penetration and the PCM has good mechanical properties and durability as a lining material for reinforced concrete hume pipe product.

This study was conducted for the development of degradation model for the coated steel member in the atmospheric environment. Field inspection data was assessed against the existing evaluation factors which were proposed by the related research process. A correlation between evaluated degradation score and service life of coated steel member was plotted on the graph, and degradation of the coated steel member could be evaluated by quantitative analysis method.

In this study, degradation due to the durability of the coating to reduce the check for to determine the deterioration of the durability coating was in parallel to outdoor exposure test and the salt spray test on the marine environment. weatherability paint coating was electrochemical measured using EIS (Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) to evaluate durability. The purpose of the study was to compare the reduced durability of the paint coating.

In this study, Impedence of bridge paint coating was measured using EIS(Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) to evaluate durability of paint coating depeding on coating thickness. Thus, paint coating specimens with different paint thickness were used. From impedence mesearment, the durability of paint coating was compared.

Bond strength of PCS-coated rebar is better than that of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is also high bond strength at curing ages of 7-day or less, and coating thicknesses of 75 μm and 100 μm. The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar at curing age of 3-hour is almost same as that of curing age of 1-day and 7-day. The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar with EVA at polymer-cement ratio of 100%, and coating thickness of 100 μm is about 1.23 and 1.29 times respectively, the strength of uncoated rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. It is apparent that the curing age, coating thickness and polymer cement ratio are very important factors to improve the bond strength of PCS-coated rebar to cement concrete. We can havebasic information that it can replace epoxy coated rebar by the PCS-coated rebar with curing age at 3-hour and coating thickness of 100 μm.

Steel structure such as steel bridges are severely affected by the corrosion, and thus has to be maintained by periodic inspection and repetitive painting. In this study, existing empirical models for the degradation of coating are reviewed which is used for evaluation of corrosion, and in addition applied to definition of the state inspection criteria and condition rating by further research.

The ultimate load of beam reinforced with polymer cement slurry(PCS)-coated rebar that is developed to replace the epoxy coated rebar having many defects is almost the same as that using plain rebar, and is higher than that of epoxy-coated rebar. In special, that using EVA 100% with ultra high early strength cement is a little bigger than that using plain rebar. In this study, it is also apparent that PCS-coated rebar can replace epoxy-coated rebar to solve the corrosion problem in marine construction field.

In general, polymer cement slurry(PCS) that is made from organic polymer dispersion and cement has good adhesion to steel and cement concrete. Bond strength of PCS-coated rebar is better than that of plain rebar and epoxy-coated rebar. The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar at curing age of 1-day or 3-hour is almost same as that of curing age of 7-day and 28-day. It is possible that PCS-coated rebar with coating thickness of 100㎛ at curing age of 1-day and 3-hour can replace epoxy-coated rebar. It is also apparent that the choice of curing age and coating thickness is very important to improve the bond strength of PCS-coated rebar to cement concrete.

Thermal spray coatings and organic coatings are often individually used in corrosion protection of steel structures. Duplex coating systems of thermally sprayed metal coating combination with organic coating represent a new generic type of coatings on offshore steel structures under the highly corrosive environments. In this study, weathering test were carried out on four types of duplex coated specimens; thermally sprayed metals of zinc, zinc-aluminum alloy, aluminum and aluminum-magnesium alloy in combination with painting of acrylic urethane. From the test results, weathering performance of the duplex coating systems were evaluated.

The lifetime of painting is shorter than the lifetime of the bridge. Thus, ongoing maintenance for the lifetime of the bridge is needed. In addition, determination of the repainting period in order to maintenance costs predict is very important. In previous studies were calculated repainting period using survey of experts and some field data. In this study, the properties of the repainting period were analyzed using repainting data of bridge maintenance system.

The most commonly used material of construction structures is steel. In this study, Epoxy-based coating materials and Ceramic-based coating materials durability were investigated. Exposed water immersion, chloride immersion, temperature changes, freezing and thawing for severe environments to simulate and environmental conditions are showed degraded in epoxy-based coating materials.
