In elevated irrigation aquaducts, one can observe a common damage pattern. That is, cracks, and crushing of concrete are usually repeated at a certain interval even if no faults are found in the design and construction of the structures. To investigate the causes of this damage, longitudinal deformations of several aquaducts have been measured. The analysis of the measured data suggests that the damages are mainly caused by cumulative repetition of extension and contraction due to temperature changes.

일반적으로 탄소강은 수용액 중에 노출될 경우 전면부식에 의한 손상을 받는다. 그러나 부식방지를 위하여 부식억제제를 적용할 경우, 탄소강의 부식거동은 현저한 변화를 겪게된다. 이러한 부식거동의 변화는 첨가되는 부식억제제의 종류에 따라 분 류할 수가 있는데, 양극부식억제제, 음극부식억제제 그리고 이들의 혼합부식억제제로 분류할 수가 있다. 현장에 적용된 부식억제제 시스템 중에는 자동차용 부동액과 가스히터용 열전달 매체액이 있다. 이러한 부식억제제가 적용된 시스댐은 정확한 부식억제능의 평가에 의한 그 교체 시기의 결정이 매우 중요하다. 교체 시기가 빠를 경우, 유지비용이 과다하게 소요되는 문제가 있으며, 교체시기가 늦을 경우 설비의 부식을 초래하는 문제 가 있다. 따라서 부식억제제의 정확한 성능 평가법은 매우 중요하며, 이에 대한 다양 한 연구가 진행 중이다. 부식억제제가 함유된 용액의 부식억제성능을 평가하는 방법에는 대표적으로 무게 감량법을 이용하고 있다. 이 방법은 다종의 금속이 적용된 자동차용 부동액을 실제 사용조건과 유사한 실험 조건에서 단기간, 가혹조건에서의 무게 감량에 의해 부식억 제능을 평가하는 방법이다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 특히 국부부식이 진행될 경우 부 식억제능을 정량화 하는데 어려움이 있다. 한편 전기화학적 측정방법으로는 분극곡선법을 이용한 $E_P$(공식개시전위), $E_R$(재부동태 화전위)의 측정법이 있다. 또한 부식억제피막의 안정성을 측정하기 위한 방법으로 인 위적인 양극전류 인가에 의한 피막의 파괴후에 피막이 복원가능 여부 및 그 속도 측 정에 의해 부식억제제의 건전성을 확인할 수가 었다. 본 연구에서는 가스히터의 주구성 재료인 A210 Gr Al의 탄소강을 사용하여, 사용기간이 5년 이상되어 부식억제 기능을 거의 상실한 것으로 여겨지는 열전달 매체액 과 신규 부식억제제가 적용된 시스템 등 객관적으로 확인된 부식억제제 시스랩에 대 하여 다양한 평가 방법을 동원 비교분석하고자 하였다. 실험은 KSM 2142에 의한 무게감량법, 분극곡선 측정에 의한 $E_P$(공식개시전위), $E_R$(재부동태화전위) 측정, 시간에 따른 자연전위 변화 측정 빛 이때의 부식속도(선형분극법), 인위적인 피막 파괴 전,후 의 전위 변화 및 부식속도 측정법에 의한 국부부식 발달 저지능 등을 평가하여 각 실험결과를 비교분석하여 보았다.

The twin aims of the present study are to develop a PC program for the statistical analysis of the measured cohesion data and to suggest a probabilistic corrosion rate estimation model for longitudinal members of tanker structures. A data analysis for the corrosion rate statistics(i.e., mean, standard deviation) as a function of the corrosion parameters is established for various structural member categories/locations of interest. Development of the computer program is focused on possible operation together with future addition of more corrosion data as they become available. To investigate the influence of the corrosion protection scheme a series of the corrosion analysis varying the life of coating are carried out and several different corrosion models as a function of time are suggested depending on the coating life.

The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS) method was used to evaluate the concrete deterioration process related to chloride-induced steel corrosion with various corrosion levels(initiation, rust propagation and acceleration periods). The impressed current technique, with four total current levels of 0C, 13C, 65C and 130C, was used to accelerate steel corrosion in concrete cylinder samples with w/c ratio of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6, immersed in a 0.5M NaCl solution. A series of EIS measurements was performed to monitor concrete deterioration during the accelerated corrosion test in this study. Some critical parameters of the equivalent circuit were obtained through the EIS analysis. It was observed that the charge transfer resistance(R_c) dropped sharply as the impressed current increased from 0C to 13C, indicating a value of approximately 10kΩcm². However, the sensitivity of R_c significantly decreased when the impressed current was further increased from 13C to 130C after corrosion of steel had been initiated. Meanwhile, the double-layer capacitance value(C_dl) linearly increased from 50×10^-6μF/cm² to 250×10^-6μF/cm² as the impressed current in creased from 0C to 130C. The results in this study showed that monitoring C_dl is an effective measurement parameter for evaluating the progress of internal concrete damages(de-bonding between steel and concrete, micro-cracks, and surface-breaking cracks) induced by steel corrosion. The findings of this study provide a fundamental basis for developing an embedded sensor and signal interpretation method for monitoring concrete deterioration due to steel corrosion at various corrosion levels.

A study has been carried out on metal materials in order to identify the quantitative relation between the concentration and damage characteristics after evaluation of the damage characteristics according to the $SO_2$ concentration. The prepared metal samples, which were categorized according to the material (silver, copper, iron, lead, brass) were exposed to 0.01, 0.12, 1, 10, 100, 1,000, and 5,000ppm of $SO_2$ for 24 hours and the optical, physical, chemical deterioration rates both before and after testing were evaluated. The results showed optical deterioration, a loss of gloss on silver specimen with $SO_2$ 100ppm, an increase of color difference on brass, iron, copper and lead specimens with $SO_2$ 5,000ppm, as well as physical changes such as an increase of thickness and corrosion rate on iron sample with $SO_2$ 5,000ppm. In the case of chemical changes such as an increase sulfate ion ($SO{_4}^{2-}$) concentration and decrease of pH on iron and brass specimens were identified. These results suggest that $SO_2$ 100ppm caused clear optical deterioration on some metals such as silver and physicochemical and optical deterioration were identified at $SO_2$ 5,000ppm regardless of metal type. Also, It was concluded that iron and brass are the most susceptible of the metal specimens to $SO_2$.

서울 및 서울 인근 주민들의 식수 공급을 위하여 1978년에 건설된 매설 상수배관은 전기방식 조처없이 콜탈에나벨만으로 피복된채 지하철 및 각종 전기설비가 복잡하게 산재된 서울지역에서 근 20년 유지되고 있다. 따라서 이 배관에 대한 부식 상태를 파악하는 것이 배관의 안전성 확보 및 대책수립, 배관수명의 연장, 중단없는 상수공급 동의 차원에서 매우 중요하다. 이 조사의 목적은 건설후 20년이 경과하여 노후된 매설 상수배관에 대한 기본적인 부식환경 및 피복 상태를 조사하여, 부식상태를 진단하고 향후 대책을 세우기 위한 기초 자료를 확보하는 것이다. 조사의 대상은 1978년에 건설된 서울지역 매설 상수배관 103 Km이었으며, 주요 조사 내용은 토양의 pH, 토양비저항과 같은 기초적인 부식환경조사, 전 배관에 대한 부식전위측정, 부식환경 조사로부터 판정된 부식 우려구간을 대상으로 피복손상부 탐측 및 시험굴착, 그리고 상기 조사의 결과를 검토하는 것이다. 조사 결과, 기본적인 부식환경 변수로 예상되던 토양의 전기비저항, 습도, pH는 부 식전위 및 토양종류와 상관관계를 보이지 않았으며, 상수배관 주변의 토양비저항은 대부분 8,000 ~ 10,000 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, 토양 pH는 대부분 5와 6사이에 집중되었다. 전체적으로 볼 때 매설 상수배관은 예상보다 양호한 배관 상태를 유지하고 있다고 판단되나, 일부 간섭구간은 방식보완이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 즉 일부 간섭에 의한 미방식 지역은 배류기나 희생양극 설치와 같은 조속한 방식보완 조치가 필요하며, 과방식이 우려되는 곳은 강제배류기의 출력을 크게 낮추는 것이 필요하다. 이때 부식전위가 크게 올라가는 지점이 있으면 부근 가까운 지하철 레일과 선택배류기로 연결하는 것이 바람직하다.

Applying the calculated cross-sectional reduction due to the corroded rebar investigated in the field to the numerical analysis model, the damage pattern and delamination of concrete in the field showed a tendency relatively similar to the numerical analysis results. It was analyzed that when the expansion pressure due to corrosion of the reinforcing bar is greater than the tensile stress of the concrete, cracks are generated and the concrete cover can be fracture. As a result of this study, the correlation between the corrosion rate of reinforcing bars and the crack occurrence of the concrete cover of the subway box structure was verified based on the numerical analysis and field test results. To prevent rebar corrosion, the corrosion rate can be reduced by applying rust prevention to the reinforcing bar and changing the material. In the case of exposed to a corrosive environment, the tensile strength of the concrete is improved by adjusting the concrete compressive strength to secure durability against the expansion pressure caused by the corroded rebar.

This study is to evaluate the characteristics of SCC at the welded region of high strength steel using acoustic emission(AE) method. Specimens were loaded by a slow strain rate method in synthetic seawater and the damage process was monitored simultaneously by AE method. Corrosive environment was controlled using the potentiostat, in which -0.8V and -1.1V were applied to the specimens. In the case of one-pass weldment subjected to -0.8V, much more AE counts were detected compared with the PWHT specimen. It was verified through the cumulative counts that coalescence of micro cracks and cracks for the one pass weldment with -0.8V were mostly detected. In case of the one pass weldment subjected to -1.1V, time to failure became shorter and AE counts were produced considerably as compared with that of the two pass weldment. It was shown that AE counts and range of AE amplitude have close relations with the number and size as well as width of the cracks which were formed during the SCC.

A woodblock softening process using saltwater was investigated in order to reduce the cracks and distortion caused by the woodblock-making process and to make the woodblock softer and sculpturing easier. Although anatomical studies of woodblocks have been ongoing for years, little work has been done on softening treatments using natural materials. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the change in the physical properties of wood treated with saturated brine and the effect of salt on metal nails found embedded in woodblocks. After boiling for twelve h each in water and saturated brine, the saltwater-boiled specimens have longer drying times than the water-boiled specimens. Further, it was observed that salt particles penetrated the cells in the wood. As a result of exposing the copper and iron nails, which were stuck in each specimen, to a high humidity environment, the weight of the saltwater-boiled specimens increased due to the hygroscopicity of the salt. Corrosion of the nails also occurred. This result is similar to the problem that appears on the edge of a woodblock. In conclusion, it was shown that salt in the wood cells affects the corrosion of metal embedded in the wood.
