As the corrosion of reinforcing bar in concrete structures exposed to chloride attack is one of main factors to determine the remaining service life, marine concrete structures have to be designed to protect the chloride penetration. Among the durability design methods such as deterministic method and probabilistic method, design method based on the probabilistic theory has been widely studied. However, the most essential material, data of the material properties related to chloride diffusion, are still insufficient. In this paper, the probabilistic distribution of chloride diffusion coefficients and aging coefficients are derived by the experiment and analysis for the chloride coefficients of concrete containing pozzolans, which are generally used in marine structures.

It is necessary to predict the penetration of chloride ions for designing RC construction in marine environments. However, it takes a long time to obtain chloride migration coefficients. Therefore, the rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT) is generally used to shorten the test time. But there is a difference between chloride migration coefficients determined by rapid chloride penetration tests and those based on exposure in marine environments. In this study, we evaluated the effect on the chloride ion migration coefficient caused by a change in voltage and NaCl concentration. We also compared the relationship between the chloride ion migration coefficient by RCPT and that by exposure in marine environments. As a result of the experiments, we found that there is only a small change in the experimental factors based on changes in voltage and NaCl concentration and since they are so small, we can conclude that they are in the range of experimental error and test results from chloride ion migration coefficients by RCPT and exposure were very different from each other. In the exposure experiments, when the water-cement ratio was increased, the smaller fine air gaps in concrete affected the chloride ion migration coefficient.

On large-scale sites, concrete is often delivered from a number of ready-mixed concrete companies, but even if the same concrete mixture table is used, it is thought that there will be a difference in quality due to differences in materials and manufacturing equipment. Due to a lack of previous research in this area, this study measured the properties of fresh concrete, compressive strength, and chlorine ion diffusion coefficient using the concrete supplied by 12 ready-mixed companies in Busan. The fresh concrete properties met the criteria. The compressive strength increased by 137% for 30MPa, 131% for 45MPa, and 117% for 80MPa by specified compressive strength. For the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient, the average value for each specified compressive strength could be derived without significant variation. The higher the compressive strength, the greater the deviation , and the lower the compressive strength, the greater the deviation in the chlorine ion diffusion coefficient.

The latex modified concrete(LMC) was adds latex in the plain concrete as the latex has increase the durability of concrete. But it is added in LMC manufacture, which is a high price compares with different material and there is a weak point where the construction expense is very high. So, this study are decided mix proportion from the scope where the security strong point of LMC is possible and reduced the material expense by control the latex contents. and these mix proportions are estimated the chloride ion diffusion. The results of study appear that it can reduced the latex content until the $5{\sim}10$% of cements, and these mixtures are very low chloride ion diffusion.

To improve the durability of concrete structure, we usually consider the reduction of water-cement ratio, the increase of concrete cover depth and the use of mineral admixtures. The use of admixtures make concrete more durable and tighten against water in recent papers so it is needed to study more about the relationship between the admixtures and the chloride ion diffusion. Therefore we analyzed the correlation between chloride ion diffusion and physical properties such as compressive strength, void ratio, air permeability of the concrete, and tried to use them as fundamental data for analyzing chloride ion diffusion mechanism of the concrete mixed with mineral admixtures.

Fiber reinforcement has been being widely used in concrete to enhance the mechanical properties and to reduce the micro-cracking caused by plastic and drying shrinkage. While researches has been focused on the benefits of fiber reinforcement, the properties of fiber reinforced concrete are strongly dependent on the type, shape and the amount of fibers in concrete. In this study, the resistance of nylon fiber reinforced concrete against the chloride ion penetration was experimentally observed by NT Build 492. The test results showed that the addition of nylon fiber has little effect on the change of the resistivity of concrete to the chloride ion penetration.

Recycled aggregates show high water absorption rate compared to natural aggregates due to microcrack developed during production process and adhered cement pastes at the surface of recycled aggregates. This leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties and slow work flow. Currently it is getting hard to satisfy high demand for natural aggregates. Utilizing recycled aggregate more widely may be a substitutable countermeasure for the shortage of natural resources. In this study, two-stage mixing approach(TSMA) suggested by Tam et al. is used to produce recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) with 100 % replacement of coarse natural aggregate and tests for compressive strength, elastic modulus, and chloride ion diffusion coefficient are conducted to find out the effect of TSMA compared to normal mixing method. According to experimental result compressive strength and elastic modulus of RAC with TSMA was superior to those of RAC with normal mixing irrespective of water-cement ratio, and in some cases mechanical properties of RAC with TSMA approached to those of natural aggregate concrete(NAC). However, chloride ion diffusion coefficient of RAC was higher than that of NAC. This illustrates that TSMA is not an appropriate method in reducing chloride ion diffusion coefficient, resulting in inconsequential contribution of TSMA to the durability of RAC.

In this study, the diffusion characteristics were evaluated using the concrete mix design of nuclear safety-related structures. Among the concrete structures related to nuclear power safety, we selected the composition of intake and drainage structures that are immersed in seawater or located on the tidal platform and evaluated the chloride ion permeation resistance by compressive strength and electrical conductivity and the diffusion characteristics by immersion in salt water. analyzed. Compressive strength was measured on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 28th, 56th, and 91st days until the 91st day, which is the design standard strength of the nuclear power plant concrete structure, and chloride ion permeation resistance was evaluated on the 28th and 91st. After immersing the 28-day concrete specimens in salt water for 28 days, the diffusion coefficient was derived by collecting samples at different depths and analyzing the amount of chloride. As a result, it was found that after 28 days, the long-term strength enhancement effect of the nuclear power plant concrete mix with 20% fly ash replacement was higher than that of concrete using 100% ordinary Portland cement. It was also found that the nuclear power plant concrete mix has higher chloride ion permeation resistance, lower diffusion coefficient, and higher resistance to salt damage than the concrete mix using 100% ordinary Portland cement.

양생 초기에 있어서 콘크리트의 투수계수는 콘크리트의 건조수축에 영향을 미치는 요인으로서 콘크리트내의 물의 이동과 관련된 중요한 변수이다. 콘크리트의 특수성에 관한 연구는 주로 콘크리트의 건조수축이나, 동결융해에 대한 내구성 등과 연관되어 있다. 이들 대부분의 측정결과는 염소 이온등을 이용한 간접 측정방법이거나 충분히 양생된 안정한 콘크리트를 대상으로 하는 것이 대부분이므로 양생초기의 콘크리트의 투수계수에 관한 연구는 거의 없다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 싸이크로미터라는 수리에너지를 측정하는 쎈서를 이용하여 콘크리트의 투수계수의 측정을 시도하였다. 콘크리트의 투수계수와 확산계수를 측정하기 위한 세가지의 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 적용하는 실험도 실시하였다. 또한 투수계수와 확산계수간의 변환을 위한 등온 흡수선을 개발, 적용하였다.

In this study, high-strength concrete mixtures were made with blast-furnace slag of 50% and 70% replacement level to evaluate material properties including compressive strength development, adiabatic temperature rise, autogenous shrinkage and chloride-ion migration coefficient. Test results showed that the use of high percentage blast-furnace slag in high-strength concrete can reduce heat of hydration and chloride-ion migration coefficient, result in control thermal cracking and improve durability performance especially under high corrosive environment.
