The purpose of this study is to understand the necessity for waterproofing and corrosion-resistant technique application on concrete water tank used in water supply. Relevant research materials and regulation were collected, reviewing for the case studies of sample structures aged over 20 years, and experimental studies on chloride conduction for the high performance concrete and penetration properties of water repellency of liquid type materials. The result is that the concrete water tank in the water supply is needed for waterproofing and corrosion-resistant material coating to maintain long term durability due to the constant environmentally induced degradation deterioration often caused by chloride attack.

Latex modified concrete(LMC) became to be applied as a new material for newly constructed bridge deck overlays in Korea due to its excellent bond strength, flexural strength and impermeability against water and chloride. However, it could not be adopted at repair job site because of its long curing time required. Thus, a research on latex modified concrete with rapid-setting cement(RSLMC) is necessary if it could develope the sufficient strength for early opening to traffic. This study focused on the durability of latex modified concrete with rapid-setting cement mainly on water permeable resistance and freeze-thaw resistance. The main experimental variables were latex contents(0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%) and antifoamer contents (0, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8 and 6.4%). Test results show that the permeability of RSLMC is very low indicating below 100 coulombs at 15% of latex contents at all antifoamer contents. The freeze-thaw resistance of RSLMC maintains above 90% of relative dynamic modulus at 3.2% of antifoamer content until 300 freezing-thawing cycles.
