The Marine concrete that located at immersion zone receives an hydrostatic pressure of 1 atm as depth of the water increased by 10 m. And it could accelerate chloride ion penetration. In this study, to evaluate the influence of hydrostatic pressure on chloride ion penetration, concrete mixed by ordinary Portland cement and Portland blast-furnace slag cement was exposed to 1 and 6 atm and substitute ocean water. As a result, the surface chloride ion concentration of the concrete under 6 atm of hydrostatic pressure increased rapidly and the water-soluble chloride ion contents was increased by depth. In addition, the concrete under 6 atm of hydrostatic pressure showed the increase of capillary pores corresponding to 5~100 nm.

The structure which is located in special surroundings like ocean-environment is physically and chemically eroded by seawater or salt damage, and then concrete-structure becomes deteriorated by iron corrosion and swelling pressure which leads to remarkably decline durability due to cracks and exploitation. As a measure against salt damage, it is actively being examined to use the blended cement that controls salt damage and fix chloride in the process of hydration. In this study, therefore, to examine the property of marine concrete added admixture, marine concrete is manufactured by adding high-strength admixture(omega2000) by 0, 5, 10, and 15% to low heat-blended cement. Then it shows that the compressive strength of manufactured marine cement tends to increase and chloride penetration resistance improves.

Heavy weight concrete can be used in marine concrete structure to improve resistance against high wave energy. However, heavy weight aggregate, which is an indispensable material for heavy weight concrete, is difficult to be supplied in large quantities because its use is limited due to its high cost. In this work, the applicability of heavy weight by-products, copper and 3 month aged steelmaking slags, were evaluated as sources of heavy weight aggregate for marine concrete structures. Experimental results showed that copper slag was found to be a stable material for marine concrete structure. However, 3 month aged steelmaking slag showed significant expansion by $80^{\circ}$ water immersion test and ASTM C 1260 test. In addition, depth of chloride ion penetration in concrete was higher at which steelmaking slags were located. It was associated with porosity of steelmaking slag, and for this reason, steelmaking slag was not found to be suitable for marine concrete structure.

The durability of marine concrete structures is severely degraded by corrosion due to seawater attack and diffusion of chloride in concrete. The deduction of durability causes high repair cost for maintenance of marine concrete structure. So, the applicability of high-durable materials is investigated to improve the durability in marine concrete structures. For these, the characteristics of corrosion prevention of marine concrete structures mixed with the mineral admixtures(SF, FA and BFS), the modified steel(stainless and coating steel), and corrosion inhibitors are evaluated using electro-chemical methods. As a results of this study, it is quantified for the effect of promotion of durability by high-durability materials in marine concrete structures.

The steel industry, a representative industry that significantly consumes raw materials and energy, produces steel as well as a large amount of by-product steel slag through the production process. The vast habitat foundation of marine life has been destroyed due to recent reckless marine development and environment pollution, resulting in intensification of the decline of marine resources, and a solution to this issue is imperative. In order to propose a method to recycle large amounts of by-product slag into a material that can serve as an alternative to natural aggregate, the engineering properties and applicability for each mixing factor of environment friendly porous concrete as a material for the composition of marine ranches were evaluated in this study. The test results for percentage of voids per mixing ratio revealed that the margin of error for all conditions was within 2.5%. The compressive strength test results showed that the most outstanding environmental friendly porous concrete can be manufactured when mixing 30% slag aggregate and 10% specially treated granular fertilizer for the optimum volume fraction. As concrete for marine applications, the best seawater resistance was obtained with mixing conditions for high compression strength. An assessment of the ability to provide a marine life habitat foundation of environmentally friendly porous concrete showed that a greater percentage of voids facilitated implantation and inhabitation of marine life, and the mixing of specially treated granular fertilizer led to active initial implantation and activation of inhabitation. The evaluation of harmfulness to marine life depending on the mixture of slag aggregate and specially treated granular fertilizer revealed that the stability of fish is secured.

Reinforcement corrosion is generally prohibited under normal condition by the alkalinity of the pore water in the concrete. However, concrete structures in marine environment are subjected to chloride attack due to the high salinity of the sea water. Thus the probability of steel corrosion becomes higher when the chloride ions are introduced into the concrete. Steel corrosion is a decisive factor for the determination of service life of the marine concrete structure because chloride ions are abundant in the sea, and piers are the typical construction elements in concrete structures in marine environment. Hence, it is of great importance to evaluate the service life of the piers. In this paper, chloride penetration analysis for the rectangular pier in the marine environment is performed considering the diffusion and convection movement of chlorides. Result reveals that the service life of the reinforcement with drying-wetting cycles is much shorter than that of the reinforcement with saturated condition. This may be due to the fact that moisture movement is much faster that chloride diffusion.

In this study, we located concrete substratum covered by oyster shells in the coastal area of Gijang-gun, Busan, South Korea, and monitored changes in coverage of macroalgae for approximately a year from January 2020 to determine the potential for sea forest restoration and resourceization of the oyster shells. At the start of monitoring, we observed that macroalgae coverage of the oyster-shell-covered concrete substratum (treatment) was 10 - 80 %, whereas no macroalgae were attached to the normal concrete substratum (control). By November, macroalgae coverage of the treatment had increased by 49 % compared to that of the control. We concluded that covering oyster shell on a sea forest reef can promote macroalgae establishment and the possibility of sea forest restoration by the resourceization of oyster shells.

This paper presents an experimental study on the air contents and the chloride penetration in offshore concrete depending on the types of forms. Three types of concretes(plain, MSF, and FA concretes) with four kinds of forms(wood, coating wood, steel, and polypropylene film) were investigated. The test results show that the air contents in the concrete cured with steel and polypropylene forms were higher than those with wood and coating wood forms. The concrete with wood forms has the least air content. The variation of chloride ingress time was large depending on the types of forms on the same concrete, i.e. 13.2, 20.3, and 17.7% for Plain, MSF, and FA concretes, respectively. Consequently, the surface conditions of forms should be considered for design of durable concrete.

최근 국내에서 해양 구조물, 장대 교량의 하부구조물, LNG저장탱크 등 매스콘크리트의 증가추세에 따라 구조물의 고내구성과 관련하여 시멘트의수화열에 의한 온도균열의 발생을 최소화 시킬 수 있는 3성분계 혼합형 저발열시멘트가 개발되어 실 구조물의 적용단계에 있으나, 저발열시멘트가 개발되어 실 구조물의 적용단계에 있으나 저발열시멘트의 특성에 대한 전반적인 연구보고가 국내에서는 미진한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3성분계 혼합형 저발열시멘트의 특성 및 코\ulcorner리트의기초물성을 1종 보통포틀랜트 시멘트, 5종 내황산염시멘트, 슬래그시멘트와 비교하였다. 글 결과 저발열 콘크리트의 찹축강도는 초기재령에서 강도발현률이 적은 반면 장기강도발현률은 상당히 큰 경향을 보였다. 또한 수화열은 1종시멘트를 사용한 콘크리트에 비하여 1/3~1/2정도로 매스콘크리트의 수화열을 대폭적으로 저감시킬 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 염소이온에 대한 저항성이 상대적으로 높게 나타나 거대 해양 구조물의 적용에 매우 유리한 시멘트로 판단되었다.
