Recently, there are problems due to the exhaustion of natural aggregate resources, and strict restrictions. In this study, the possibility of using Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel slag as a substitutive material of fine aggregate is determined from the properties of mechanical and durability for the concrete that is made with Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel slag. According to the test results, when the mixing rate of Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel Slag aggregates concrete is adjusted, up to 50% of its aggregates by mixing rate can be mixed with general aggregates. The optimum mix ratio is considered to be 40%. The freezing and thawing resistance of Water Granulated Ferro-Nickel Slag aggregates concrete is identical to that of general aggregates concrete, while the carbonation resistance is found to be same as or lower than that of general aggregates concretes.

In the membrane forming process of a proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), drying and annealing heat treatment processes are required for performance and durability. In this study, the optimal annealing temperature for improving the durability of the polymer membrane was studied. It was annealed in the temperature range of 125~175 ℃, and thermal stability and hydrogen permeability were measured as basic data of durability at each annealing temperature. The electrochemical durability was analyzed by Fenton reaction and open circuit voltage (OCV) holding. The annealing temperature of 165 ℃ was the optimal temperature in terms of thermal stability and hydrogen permeability. In the Fenton reaction, the fluorine emission rate of the membrane annealed at 165 ℃ was the lowest, and the lifespan of the membrane annealed at 165 ℃ was the longest in the OCV holding experiment, confirming that 165 ℃ was the optimal temperature for the durability of the polymer membrane.

Most of domestic expansion joint system was applied by exposed expansion joint system. There are cases where it is damaged by driving. As the result noise and impact happened, and the social cost due to frequent repair works is increasing. So based on the Asphalt Plug Joint(APJ) system that applied in the United States and Europe, new buried expansion joint system was lately developed a system of Buried Folding Lattice Joint(BFLJ) that changed substructure. In this research, we have tested for durability and flexibility performance of buried expansion joint system that based on the type of asphalt mixture. Also we have evaluated for durability of BFLJ system against vehicle load using accelerated pavement testing. As a result of the experiment, the developed BFLJ system gives high flexibility performance and resolves transformation concentration along the joint section more than APJ system. Also it could be seen that the BFLJ system could overcome the disadvantages of APJ and prevent early damage. Because surface deflection of BFLJ system against vehicle load was measured low, and sub system in the buried expansion joint system was not damaged against vehicle load.

We studied on the watertightness improvement of cementitious material for durability enhancement of concrete. For improvement of watertightness of OPC and OPC with fly ash, we used various materials with watertightness properties to OPC and OPC with fly ash. The performance of watertightness improvement of cementitious materials closely related to formation of CSH by pozzolanic reaction and to reducing of size of contact angle in cement pore by using organic fatty acid. And volume of CSH formation at early hydration have an influence of watertightness improvement and reduction of long-term water absorption rate. In using of fly ash, improvement of workability by using the spherical fly ash caused to densify on the structures of cement material and CSH formation by pozzolanic reaction and cement using fly ash also caused watertightness improvement of cementitious materials. For improvement of concrete durability by watertightness, cementitious materials need using watertightness materials and at using fly ash, also it have to the effect of improvement of watertightness of cementitious materials by pozzolanic reaction.

This paper presents the results of experimental work on both strength characteristics and durability of concrete or mortar having 50% ground granulate blastfurnace slag(GBS) with different fineness levels (4,450, 6,000 and $8,000cm^2/g$). Compressive and split tensile strength test results indicated that the concrete with a higher fineness level of GBS exhibited a better strength development due to the acceleration of latent hydraulic property at the later curing stage compared with ordinary portland cement concrete. Meanwhile, it was found that a higher fineness level of GBS showed some negative effects on the resistance against freezing-thawing action. However, incorporation of GBS to concrete, irrespective of fineness levels, significantly enhanced the chloride ions penetration resistance. The resistance against sulfate attack of mortar with GBS was greatly dependent on the attacking sources from sulfate environments.

The purpose of this dissertation was to investigate the effect of mineral admixtures, such as fly ash, blast furnace slag powder, meta kaolin and silica fume, on the basic properties and durability of crushed sand shotcrete, selecting a series of shotcrete mixtures with a variable admixture. Compressive strength increased as the content of mineral admixtures increased, specially it was the most effective when using meta kaolin both at sample specimen and core after shotcreting. Rapid chloride ion permeability test and sulfuric acid resistance test showed that both durability increased as the substitute rate of mineral admixture increased. In air void analysis with image analysis, the targeted the spacing factor and specific surface were not satisfied because air-entrained agent was not used.

This study is for developing a system for electro-deposition utilizing sea water containing various ions like calcium and magnesium. This is the first step research for the final goal which is a development of anti-corrosive steel for RC structure, so that this paper is mainly focused on the development for electro-deposition system. Optimum conditions for steel coating is obtained through various tests considering anode type, temperature, duration time, and current density. The composition of electro-deposition is analyzed through SEM, EDS, and XRD and it is evaluated to be $CaCO_3$ and $Mg(OH)_2$. Through measuring polarization potential and current density in the coated steel, the coating layer from the developed system is evaluated to have high resistance to steel corrosion. Additional tests and discussions on durability and structural performance in the coated steel from this work will be performed for the second step research.

Currently, in the mix design of high strength concrete, cement content depend on the target slump which is fixed with tests. However this cause high content cement use because it is based on the mix design of normal strength concrete. Also, comparatively high content cement might decrease the durability of the concrete. Therefore, in this study, we investigated proper cement content satisfying durability, workability, compressive strength, and reviewed use of admixtures, proper sand-aggregate ratio to the cement content. The results indicate that cement content ranging $370{\sim}550kg/m^3$ did not affect the compressive strength. The field workers should consider durability, workability as well as compressive strength for determining the optimal cement content in the mix design of the high strength concrete.

In this paper, durability test of 1000cc level gasoline engine has been carried out. Durability test set total 300 hours and WOT condition. Engine torque, power, fuel consumption, blow-by gas flow rate, and oil pressure are measured to analyse performance variation by time. As a result, engine performance of high rpm range gradually reduced by time but for relatively low rpm range shows stable performance. Blow-by gas flow rate shows 0.4% of averaged induction air flow rate, which is excellent rate for 1000cc level gasoline engine. Engine torque and fuel consumption data show the break-in upto 100 hours and aging trend after that. After 300 hours, engine is disassembled and each part is checked for the damage or crack.
