With varying conditions of concrete surface, induced chloride contents are changed and this is a key parameter for steel corrosion and service life in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures. Many surface enhancement techniques using impregnation have been developed, however the evaluation techniques for chloride behavior through doubly layered media and time-dependent diffusion are rarely proposed. This paper presents an analysis technique considering double-layer concrete and time-dependent diffusion behavior, and the results are compared with those from the previous test results through reverse analysis. The chloride profiles from the surface-impregnated concrete exposed to atmospheric, tidal, submerged zone for 2 years are adopted. Furthermore surface chloride contents and diffusion coefficients are obtained, and are compared with those from Life365. Through consideration of time effect, the relative error decreases from 0.28 to 0.20 in atmospheric, 0.29 to 0.11 in tidal, and 0.54 to 0.40 in submerged zone, respectively, which shows more reasonable results. Utilizing the diffusion coefficients from Life365, relative errors increases and it needs deeper penetration depth (e) and lower diffusion coefficient ratio ($D_1/D_2$) due to higher diffusion coefficient.

확산-유추 지형학적 순간단위도는 통계물리적인 모형으로 이론적 물리적으로 뛰어난 모형임에도 불구하고 유역의 동적 매개변수인 특성유속과 확산계수의 산정이 어려워 실제적인 사용이 제한되어 왔다. 이러한 난제를 해결하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 금강수계의 보청천 산성유역을 대상으로 전역최적화 기법인 SCE-UA를 이용하여 확산-유추 지형학적 순간단위도 모형의 동적 매개변수 산정하였으며, 모형의 재현성을 3개의 수문사상을 이용하여 검토하였다. 매개변수의 최적화 결과 차수 단계별 특성유속 및 확산계수의 증감은 변동을 보이지만, 전체적인 경향성은 특성유속의 경우 하천차수가 커질수록, 즉 하류방향에 대해 증가 경향을 나타내며, 반대로 확산계수는 감소되는 경향을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 적용한 최적화 방법에 향후 지체시간, 분산 및 왜곡도 등의 통계적인 제약조건과 동적 매개변수의 공간적 변화 등의 물리적인 의미를 갖는 제약조건 등이 결합된다면 좀 더 발전된 모형으로 개선될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

신제품이나 서비스의 수요 예측을 Bass 확산 모형을 토대로 수행할 때의 가장 큰 문제점은모형의 파라미터 추정에 필요한 데이터가 충분치 않다는 것이다. 따라서 Bass 확산 모형의 핵심적인 두 파라미터인 혁신 계수(p)와 모방 계수(q)의 추정을 시도할 때, 어느 정도의 데이터 개수가 요구되는 지를 파악하는 것은 매우 현실적인 중요성을 갖는 문제이다. 이제까지의 연구는 주로 기존의 판매 데이터를 토대로 Bass 모형의 파라미터를 추정할 때, 생기는 다양한 문제점 파악에 집중되었다. 시뮬레이션의 경우는 Bass 모형에 랜덤 오차를 추가하여 실시하였다. 이 경우 데이터 개수가 계수추정에 미치는 영향은 도출되나 각 계수별 민감도 분석이 제대로 이루어지지 못하는 한계를 가지고 있다, 따라서 본 논문에서는 시뮬레이션에서 예측치를 발생시킬 때 랜덤 오차 대신, 혁신 계수와 확산 계수의 변동을 주는 방법을 도입한다. 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, p 변동보다는 q 변동이 예측치의 오차에 대해 보다 중요하다. 둘째, 오차가 잠재수요의 30%이하로 떨어지기 위해서는 수요가 최대로 도달하는 시점이 $t^*$ 일 경우, $t^*\;+1$까지 데이터가 요구된다.

Diffusion of a steady horizontal line source in a turbulent shear flow is simulated by numerically solving a steady two-dimensional advective diffusion equation. The computational result is compared with the analytic solution for uniform velocity and diffusivity distributions over the depth. The analytic solution for constant velocity and diffusivity overestimates the degree of vertical mixing. The normalized equation indicates that friction factor is the only physical parameter that governs the vertical diffusion process. Sensitivities of the diffusion process to the friction factor and initial source position are analyzed. The rate of vertical mixing varies approximately as the square root of the friction factor. The optimal source position, which gives the most rapid mixing, lies above the mid-depth and moves toward the water surface as the friction factor increases.

Service life evaluation for RC Structures exposed to chloride attack is very important, however the previous two methods(deterministic and probabilistic method) show a big difference. The paper presents a service life simulation using deterministic and probabilistic method with time-dependent diffusion coefficient. Three different cases are considered for diffusion coefficient, concrete cover depth, and surface chloride content respectively, and then the PDF(probability of durability failure) and the related service life are obtained. Through adopting time-dependent diffusion, the discrepancy between the two methods can be reduced, which yields reasonable service life. When diffusion coefficient increases from $2.5{\times}10^{-12}m^2/sec$ to $7.5{\times}10^{-12}m^2/sec$, the service life decreases to 25.5~35.6% level, and cover depth does from 75 mm to 125 mm, it increases to 267~311% level as well. In the case of surface chloride content from $5.0kg/m^3$ to $15.0kg/m^3$, it changes to 40.9~54.5%. The effect of cover depth is higher than the others by 8~10 times and also implies it is a key parameter to service life extension.

The diffusion coefficients in polyimide/N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) systems were proposed using tile Vrentas-Duda's hole free volume theory. Several free volume parameters included in the diffusion coefficients were obtained from the fundamental physical properties of polyimide and NMP and group contribution theory, and the pre-exponential diffusion coefficient, D$_{0}$ was also determined from the dynamic swelling behavior of polyimide in NMP solution. The experimental swelling behavior of polyimide films in NMP was well described by the theoretical one using the proposed diffusion coefficient.t.

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.

Concrete member has been subjected to dead and live loads in use, and the induced stress can affect not only structural but also durability behavior. In mass concrete construction, construction joint are required, however cold joint usually occur due to poor surface treatment and delayed concrete placing. The concrete with joint is vulnerable to both shear stress and chloride ingress. This paper presents a quantitative evaluation of cold joint and loading conditions on chloride diffusion behavior. With increasing tensile stress from 30% to 60%, chloride diffusion coefficient gradually increases, which shows no significant difference from result in the sound concrete. However chloride diffusion coefficient under 30% level of compressive stress significantly increases by 1.70 times compared with normal condition. Special attention should be paid for the enlarged diffusion behavior cold joint concrete under compressive stress.

Recently, as the importance of structural maintenance has been increased, studies on self - healing concrete technology are being actively carried out. On the other hand, test for evaluating the self-healing performance is not standardized yet. Although visual test is used as a basic method for measuring crack widths, it is difficult to observe the crack width inside the specimen, and there is a disadvantage that only the local measurement of the surface can be measured due to the inhomogeneous cracking characteristics. Although permeability test has been widely used as an indirect method for measuring crack width, there is a problem due to the viscosity of water, and also a possibility that the internal material of the specimen may be eluted during the test. In this study, we propose a crack width evaluation method using gas diffusion characteristics. Idealized straight cracks were fabricated by acrylic and the diffusion coefficients of specimens were analyzed with respect to crack width and thickness. The experimental results show that the crack width and the diffusion coefficient are in a linear relationship and that the thickness and diffusion coefficient are inversely related.

In this paper, a depth-averaged two-dimensional transport model is introduced, and its error bound is presented as the results of sensitivity analysis. The results show that the calculated SS concentration is highly dependant on Manning roughness coefficient, mixing coefficient. fall velocity. and critical shear stress. On the other hand, water level and dispersion coefficient are proved to be less significant in the variation of SS concentration.
