Abstract

The corrosion potential in concrete varies greatly with exposure and concrete mix conditions. In this study, RC (Reinforcement Concrete) samples were prepared considering cover depth, chloride concentration, and W/C(water to cement) ratio as variables, and HCP(Half Cell Potential) was measured, which evaluated comparative potential between embedded steel and concrete surface. In addition, OCP(Open Circuit Potential) was measured using buried steel and CE(Counter Electrode). Agar and NaOH solution were used as ion exchange materials and Hg/HgO was used for RE(Reference Electrode), which was more sensitive to temperature than HCP. Among the influencing factors, the exposure period and chloride concentration had a relatively greater effect than cover depth and w/c ratio. Additionally, the entire measured HCP and OCP showed a clearly linear relationship with increasing cover depth and w/c ratio. Through multiple regression analysis, the relationship between HCP and OCP was quantified, and an improved correlation was obtained with temperature effect.

콘크리트 내의 부식전위는 노출환경 및 배합에 따라 크게 변화한다. 본 연구에서는 피복 두께, 염화물 농도, 물-시멘트 비를 변수로 하여 RC 시편을 제조하였으며, 철근과 표면과의 전위차를 평가하는 HCP 측정을 수행하였다. 또한 매립된 철근과 상대전극을 이용하여 OCP의 측정하였다. 한천과 NaOH 수용액을 이온교환물질로, Hg/HgO를 기준전극으로 사용하여 OCP를 측정하였는데, HCP에 비하여 온도에 더욱 민감하게 작용하였다. 영향 인자 중 존치 기간 및 염화물 농도는 피복 두께 및 물-시멘트 비보다 상대적으로 큰 영향을 가지고 있었다. 또한 전체 측정된 HCP 및 OCP는 피복 두께 및 물-시멘트와 뚜렷한 선형관계를 나타내었다. 다중회귀분석을 통하여 HCP와 OCP의 관계를 정량화하였으며 온도를 고려하여 개선된 상관성을 도출하였다.
