The critical chloride content of rebar embedded in concrete was experimentally evaluated according to the admixture replacement ratio and admixture type. Four types of reinforced concrete were mixed OPC 100%, OPC 70% + GGBFS 30%, OPC 40% + GGBFS 60%, and OPC 40% + GGBFS 40% + FA 20%. NaCl solution was supplied to the specimens, and the open circuit potential of the embedded rebar was monitored. The specimens determined to initiate corrosion were cut at intervals of 5mm from the NaCl solution supply surface and conducted to chlorine ion profile. Corrosion initiation time of rebar embedded in concrete was delayed as the admixture replacement ratio increased. Looking at the critical chloride content of the types of reinforced concrete, it was highest in OPC 1.46kg/㎥, followed in order by S30 0.98kg/㎥, TBC 0.74kg/㎥, and S60 0.71kg/㎥.

In construction project, an error in quantity information immediately leads to an error in the quotation, highly reliable quantity calculation is required for successful performance of a project. But there is a difficulty in the current situation for the person in charge to review all calculation sheets for quantity review as the quotation work has to be performed in a short period of time. Accordingly, it is thought that a review plan is required to secure reliability on calculated results and the review plan should be able to be carried out within insufficient quotation periods. In the present paper, it is intended to present a plan that enables quantity to be reviewed with the minimum number of persons within the shortest period of time through an algorithm of calculating a verification quantity. The suggested algorithm allows the result of quantity calculation work carried out earlier based on 2-dimensional drawing to be compared, not with an accurate quantity, but within an error range.

Currently, a lot of design, engineering and construction companies has been interested in BIM(Building Information Modeling) technologies for higher productivity and efficiency. The information provided from BIM can be mostly used for automated quantity takeoff. But BIM has some problems for fully automated quantity takeoff to solve. The purpose of this study is to show the problems and suggest solutions through case study, especially with concrete and form work.

The objectives of this paper were to obtain the fundamental data to analyze the causes of deterioration of 39 freeway concrete viaducts in Seoul metropolitan area. To investigate the degree of concrete deterioration, carbonation depth, soluble chloride concentration in hardened concrete and half-cell potentials of reinforcement were measured. The number of structures which carbonation depth penetrates to reinforcement was 25% of total. The model of carbonation .ate was induced to 3.92 $\sqrt{t}$, which was 5% faster than 3.727 $\sqrt{t}$ assumed 60% water-cement ratio, R=1 in that of kishitani. After measuring chloride concentration in concrete, it was concluded that about 24% of all readings on samples from concrete exceed the critical content to minimize the risk of chloride-induced corrosion. About 31% of the freeway viaducts structures had a value lower than -350mV(vs. CSE), so it could conclude that the excessive chloride concentration was the major cause of reinforcement corrosion. Among the structures which measured half-cell potentials less than -350mV, about 50% exceeds the maximum acceptable limit of chloride concentration.

The cracks occurred during service life of concrete structure should be considered in durability design, because of the concrete's material property which is weak in tensile strength. In this study, the fly ash concrete mixtures considering 2 levels of strength is designed and outdoor exposure tests are conducted for those concrete specimens. The exposure environment is set to a splash zone, and in order to evaluate the effect of crack width on the behavior of chloride diffusion, the crack width of up to 1.0 mm is generated at intervals of 0.1 mm at each concrete mixture. After that, apparent chloride diffusion coefficient and surface chloride contents are deducted considering 3 levels of exposure periods(180 days, 365 days, 730 days). The diffusion coefficients of two types of mixture increase with the increase of crack width, and the diffusion coefficients decrease with the increase of exposure periods. In addition, the effect of the crack width on the diffusion coefficient is reduced as the exposure periods increase, which is attributed to the extra hydrate by chloride ion reducing the diffusivity of concrete. The behavior of the surface chloride contents does not significantly change by the increase in crack width, compared to the behavior of apparent chloride diffusion coefficient. Also, In the high strength FA concrete mixture, the surface chloride contents are 78.9 % ~ 90.7 % than the normal FA strength concrete mixture. Thus, Surface chloride contents have correlation with the strength of concrete.

Recently, due to the increasing of interest about the eco-friendly concrete, it is being increased to use concretes containing by-products of industry such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag, silica fume, and etc. Especially, these are well known for improving the resistance to reinforcement corrosion in concrete and decreasing chloride ion penetration. The purpose of this experimental research is to evaluate the resistance to corrosion of reinforcement and critical chloride content of high volume fly ash concrete(HVFAC) which is replaced with fly ash for approximately 50% cement content. For this purpose, corrosion monitoring of reinforcement by half cell potential method was carried out for the cylindrical test specimens that the upper of reinforcement in concrete was exposed to detect the time of corrosion initiation for reinforcement. It was observed from the test result that the the time of corrosion initiation for reinforcement of HVFAC by the accelerated corrosion tests increased 1.2~1.3 times than plain concrete and the critical chloride contents of plain concrete and HVFAC were found to range $0.80{\sim}1.20kg/m^3$, $0.89{\sim}1.60kg/m^3$, respectively.

In the construction industry, there is a growing demand for the accurate calculation of the quantity take-off and construction budget at the design stage, and it is likewise important to grasp changes in the construction budget and quantity take-off if design alterations are made. In addition, lawsuits related to the quantity take-off and cost of construction are frequent; therefore, the calculation of these factors using building information modeling (BIM) has emerged as an alternative. However, existing 2D-based methods are still used more frequently than BIM-based methods for quantity take-offs and construction budgets. This is because of the lack of BIM experience of estimation workers and the absence of a national standard. However, from a designer's point of view, it is necessary to understand the quantity take-off and construction cost based on BIM and accurately create the design according to the budget. In this study, the quantity take-offs of concrete, rebar, and reinforced concrete structures (apartments) in Seoul and Yeongjong were compared with the quantity take-offs based on 2D and BIM methods. From the viewpoint of the designer, we aim to increase the accuracy of BIM-based quantity take-offs.

In order to prevent deterioration of reinforced concrete structures exposed to marine environment, performance based durability design than the design by conventional deemed-to-satisfy rule should be concerned. For example, even though chloride threshold level, which is a major parameter for durability design, is defined as a 1.2 $kg/m^3$ in the Korean concrete specification, it shows that the chloride threshold level leads to over design in its real application so that realistic value should be determined for the performance design. In this paper, not only the probabilistic properties of chloride threshold level obtained from published data are taken into account, but also the experimental results of the probabilistic properties using surface chloride content, diffusion coefficient, cover depth are considered in the assessment utilizing the concept of performance based durability design. In computation, the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) is used to perform an assessment due to chloride attack for a target submerged tunnel box. This study found that the specification on current chloride threshold level should be modified for more rational and accurate assessment and design.
