A Research on the Carbonization Status of Aged Concrete Structures

장기 재령 콘크리트 구조물의 탄산화 현상 조사

Although there has been an upcoming recognition in the repairing reinforcement and remodeling of currently existing buildings with a regard to economic and resource saving effects of buildings roughly exposed to the open air for a long-term period, followed by a number of problems with the construction business operations that support economy-oriented projects within the limits of their short-term period durability, it is true that reasonable decisions of concrete performance are insufficient owing to the lack of proper history management for those existing buildings. This research attempted to comparatively analyze the compression strength together with investigation of carbonization depth and alkali concentration according to the passage of years on the subjects of aged buildings, and to provide basic data for remodeling and/or reconstruction of future construction structures by indirectly estimating durability lifetime expectancy according to carbonization phenomenon.
