Recently in Japan, fracturing was observed on the diagonal member of a through truss bridge at the boundary region with the concrete slab. Local corrosion damage where the diagonal member was enclosed in the concrete slab is an important factor in the fracture. In this study, accelerated exposure tests were carried out on concrete-steel model specimens simulating steel members at the boundary with concrete. Fatigue tests were then performed on the corroded model specimens. Accelerated exposure tests of the S6-cycle, which is carried out on the model specimens for 150, 300, 450 and 600 da ys. Their surface geometry was then measured. From the accelerated exposure test results, change in maximum and mean corrosion depths was determined according to the testing periods. The effect of local corrosion on fatigue strength was also presented based on the fatigue test results.

Steel has been widely used as a material in temporary structures. Corrosion attack often reduces the long-term durability of temporary steel members that are not protected from corrosion. In designing temporary steel structures, it is difficult to evaluate their long-term durability, since the thickness loss of steel members is not clear. In this study, laboratory and field exposure corrosion tests were performed on structural steel plate specimens, and the loss of thickness of specimens that were exposed to a subway construction site for 11 months and of specimens that were exposed to environments with controlled humidity and calcium chloride for six months were measured. Finally, a thickness loss equation was formulated based on the environmental conditions and the testing periods.

In this study, corrosion resistance of steel in cracked-reinforced concrete was performed according to experimental method. Mixed design is OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF, respectively. Moreover, corrosion resistance test was measured using ultra testing machine for 0.3mm crack induction. The corrosion resistance of blended concrete shows the results following OPC > 10%SF > 30% PFA > 60% GGBS after 60days curing. In case of mass loss test, embedded reinforcement in OPC concrete surveyed the minimum corrosion and appeared better corrosion resistance than blended concrete. As a result, corrosion resistance of sound concrete is higher than cracked concrete. Moreover, corrosion resistance of binary concrete is lower than OPC.

오스테나이트계 스테인리스강의 기계적 특성 향상을 위해 열화학적 표면처리 방법으로 공정 후 재료의 변형이 없고 친환경적인 플라즈마 이온질화 기술이 널리 사용되고 있다. 특히 대략 $450^{\circ}C$이하에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 시 S상이라 불리는 expanded austenite 생성에 기인하여 내식성이 향상시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 이전의 연구 결과 증류수, HCl, $H_2SO_4$ 등의 실험 용액에 따라 동일한 공정 온도에 대하여 다른 부식 특성을 나타냈으며, 내식성이 확보되는 온도 또한 다른 결과를 얻었다. 이처럼 적용 환경에 따라 다른 부식 경향을 보이고 있으나, 해양 환경에 사용될 해수에서의 부식 저항성에 대한 명확한 규명은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 해양환경에 보편화되어 있는 오스테나이크계 스테인리스강을 선정하여 다양한 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 후 전기화학실험을 통해 온도 변화에 따른 부식 특성을 분석하였다. 플라즈마 이온질화는 25% 질소와 75% 수소의 비율로 $350{\sim}500^{\circ}C$의 온도 조건에서 10시간 동안 처리하였다. 플라즈마 이온질화 처리 후 마이크로 경도 계측과 X-선 회절(X-ray diffraction, XRD) 분석을 통해 온도 변화에 따른 금속 표면에 형성된 질화물의 기계적 조직학적 특성을 분석하였다. 또한 모재 및 다양한 온도에서 플라즈마 이온질화 처리된 재료에 대하여 $2{\times}2cm$(노출면적 $1cm^2$) 시편을 제작하여 전기화학적 부식 실험을 수행하여 부식 특성을 상호 비교 분석하였다. 전기화학적 부식 실험은 침적실험, 동전위 양극 음극 분극 실험을 실시하여 전위 변화에 따른 전류밀도 추이를 분석하여 부식 경향을 파악하였다. 그리고 전기화학 실험 후 손상부의 SEM 관찰과 손상 깊이 분석 및 무게 감소량 계측을 통한 종합적인 분석을 통해 온도-부식 경향의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 또한 분극 실험 후 타펠 외삽법으로 부식전위와 부식전류밀도를 구하여 미처리된 재료 및 플라즈마 이온질화 온도 변화에 따른 상대적 부식 속도를 예측하였다.

본 연구는 스테인리스 스틸(STS)을 직접메탄올 연료전지(DMFC)용 바이폴라 플레이트에 적용하기 위한 것이다. 약산성의 연료전지 환경에서 부식저항성을 향상시키고자 오스테나이트계 STS 316L과 페라이트계 STS 430에 UBM(unbalanced magnetron) DC sputter로 CrN 코팅막을 제작하였다. CrN이 코팅된 스테인리스 스틸은 부식특성, 접촉 저항 및 접촉각 등을 측정하여 무 코팅의 스테인리스 스틸과 특성을 비교하였다. 그리고 이들 재료의 연료전지(DMFC) 적용 가능성을 알아보기 위하여 단위전지로 제작하여 연료전지 성능 등을 측정하고 평가하였다. 무 코팅 스테인리스 스틸(STS 316L, STS 430)과 CrN 코팅 스테인리스 스틸의 부식저항 특성은 동전위와 정전위 실험으로 조사하였다. 동전위 부식 실험은 -0.4~1.0 V로 0.001 M의 황산용액 또는 메탄올을 첨가하여 질소 또는 공기의 환경에서 실험을 실시하였으며, 정전위 부식 실험은 0.4 V 또는 0.6 V에서 진행하였다. 연료전지의 단전지 측정은 실제 DMFC의 운전조건에서 실시하였다. 부식실험과 단전지 실험 전/후 메탈 바이폴라 플레이트의 조직 변화는 SEM을 통해 관찰하였고, 부식산화물의 화학적 조성과 메탈 바이폴라의 표면은 EDS를 이용하여 측정하였다.

Flexural test of reinforced concrete beam with corroded reinforcement were performed to measure the deflection, curvature and cracking moment for various bar diameter and amounts of corrosion. The amounts of corrosion are varied from 0% to 10% by weight and the bar diameters are chosen as 10mm, 13mm, and 19mm. The changes in reinforcement diameter do not affect the flexural behaviors significantly according to this experiment. If the amounts of corrosion is greater than 2%, the deflection and curvature of the beam increased and the cracking moment decreased. It means that the lower amounts of corrosion does not result structural damage in flexural member significantly as in direct tensile test. A modification factor considering an effect of amounts of corrosion is proposed based on the experiment, which can be used to determine the deflection of reinforced concrete beam with corroded reinforcement.

The corrosion durability of steel bridge coatings, such as organic and metallic coatings, is often evaluated by field exposure tests, but such tests take from several years to decades to complete. As a potential method for fast corrosion testing, accelerated exposure tests were considered in this study. The S6-cycle accelerated exposure test, specified in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS K5621), was carried out on uncoated structural steels for 30, 60, 90, 120 and 150 days, and the resultant weight loss was determined. The weight loss was compared with that obtained from previous field exposure tests, and acceleration factors of the S6-cycle test to field exposure test sites were determined. The application of the S6-cycle accelerated exposure tests to field environments was presented based on the acceleration factor and the amount of flying salt.

This study was carried out to investigate quantitatively the relationship between the degree of rebar corrosion and the strength of reinforced concrete beams. After producing equations for the relationship between both the tensile properties of rebars and bond properties and the corrosion percentage of rebars, finite element analysis and bending tests were conducted for RC beams damaged by corrosion of tension main rebar. As a result, it was made that the strength of RC beams damaged by corrosion could be practically simulated by FEM analysis using experimentally determined material properties representing the bond and the mechanical characteristics of corroded rebars.

In this study, pull-out tests were performed to investigate the effects of stirrup spacing, rebar diameter, and corrosion rate on bond strength of deformed bars in reinforced concrete. Twelve pull-out specimens with different stirrup spacing, rebar diameter, and corrosion rate were prepared following the RILEM RC6 guidelines. The test results showed that the bond strength of specimens with stirrups increased when the corrosion rate was less than 3%, whereas it decreased when the corrosion rate was more than 3%. On the other hand, the bond strength of specimens without stirrups decreased as the corrosion rate increased. The effect of rebar diameter was less significant compared to those of stirrup spacing and corrosion rate. A bond strength model for pull-out specimens was proposed considering stirrup ratio and corrosion rate, and the model showed the lowest error among the previous models.
