Traditional concrete is effectively an insulator in the dry state. However, conductive concrete can attain relatively high conductivity by adding a certain amount of electronically conductive components in the regular concrete matrix. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the electrical and thermal properties of conductive concrete with various graphite contents, specimen dimensions and applied voltages. For this purpose, six different mixtures (the control mixtures and five conductive mixtures with steel fibers of 2% by weight of coarse aggregate and graphite as fine aggregate replacement at the levels of 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight) were prepared and concrete blocks with two types of dimensions were fabricated. Four test voltage levels, 48 V, 60 V, 110 V, and 220 V, were applied for the electrical and thermal tests. Test results show that the compressive strength of specimens decreases as the amount of graphite increases in concrete. The rising applied voltage decreases electrical resistivity and increases heat of concrete. Meanwhile, higher electrical current and temperature have been obtained in small size specimens than the comparable large size specimens. From the results, it can be concluded that the graphite contents, applied voltage levels, and the specimen dimensions play important roles in electrical and thermal properties of concrete. In addition, the superior electrical and thermal properties have been obtained in the mixture adding 2% steel fibers and 10% graphite.

Concrete has been used for many years as a composite material that has excellent mechanical properties and durability for construction. However, concrete is a poor electrical conductor, especially under dry conditions. Concrete that is excellent in both mechanical and electrical conductivity properties may have important applications in the electrical, electronic, military and construction industry(e.g. for de-icing road from snow). The purpose of this investigation is to improve the electrical conductive of cement mortar preparared with coke dust, graphite, carbon black and carbon fiber as filler. From the test result, as the content of electrically conductive material increased, fluidity and strength decreased but resistivity decreased. The resistivity of electrical conductive cement mortar is effect by water/cement, and aggregate. Cement mortar containing carbon fiber has the best electrical properties considering strength. From this study, it is enough to assure the use of carbon fiber, carbon black and graphite as a conductive filler for electrical conductive cement mortar.

Concrete undergoes significant phase changes from liquid to solid states as hydration progresses. These phase changes are known as the setting process. A liquid state concrete is electrically conductive because of the presence of water and ions. However, since the conductive elements in the liquid state of concrete are consumed to produce non-conductive hydration products, the electrical conductivity of hydrating concrete decreases during the setting process. Therefore, the electrical properties of hydrating concrete can be used to monitor the setting process of concrete. In this study, a parameter identification method to estimate electrical parameters such as ohmic resistance of concrete is proposed. The effectiveness of the proposed method for monitoring the setting process of concrete is experimentally validated.

해양환경에서 콘크리트의 내구성과 철근의 부식은 콘크리트 내부로 침투하는 염소이온에 의해 악화된다. 본 연구에서는 염소이온에 의해 야기되는 콘크리트의 염해부식에 대한 저항성을 향상시키기 위해 전도성 광촉매를 사용하였다. 시험체로는 전도성 활성탄소와 광촉매($TiO_2$)분말을 혼합하여 모르타르와 콘크리트를 제작하였다. 전도성 탄소의 함량이 증가할수록 압축강도는 감소하였다. 전도성 광촉매가 첨가된 시험체가 일반 시험체보다 월등히 우수한 내염해부식성을 나타내었으며 이것은 XRF 시험에 의한 분석 결과 모르타르 또는 콘크리트 내부로의 염소이온 확산이 광촉매 작용에 의해 억제되었기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 모르타르 및 콘크리트 내부로의 염소이온 확산계수를 구함으로써 광촉매에 의한 염소이온 확산에 대한 억제반응이 분석되었다.

As a kind of intelligent materials, conductive asphalt concrete has a broad application prospect including melting ice and snow on the pavement, closing cracks in asphalt concrete, sensing pavement damage, and so on. Conductive pavement will be suffered from fatigue failure as conventional pavement in the process of service, and this fatigue damage of internal structure can be induced by electrical signal output. The characteristics of electrical signal variation of conductive asphalt concrete in the process of fatigue cracking were researched in this paper. The whole process was clearly divided into three stages according to resistance changes, and the development of fatigue damage wasn't obvious in stage I and stage II, while in stage III, the synchronicity between the resistance and damage began to appear. Thus, fatigue damage variable D and initial damage value $D_0$ represented by the functions of resistance were introduced in stage III. After calculating the initial damage value $D_0$ under different stress levels, it was concluded that the initial damage value $D_0$ had no noticeable change, just ranged between 0.24 and 0.25. This value represented a critical point which could be used to inform the repair time of early fatigue damage in the conductive asphalt pavement.

Dimensionally stable anodes have been widely used to cathodically protect the metallic materials in corrosive environments including concrete structure as the insoluble anode. Lifespan of the anode for concrete construction can be determined by NACE TM0294-94 method. Lifespan of conductive oxide electrode would be affected by thermal treatment condition in the process of sol-gel coatings. This work aims to evaluate the effect of thermal treatment temperature on the lifespan of the $RuO_{2}$ electrode. $450^{\circ}C$ treated conductive oxide electrode showed the excellent properties and its lifespan was evaluated to be over 88 years in 3% NaCl, 4% NaOH, and simulated pore water. This behavior was related to the formation of $RuO_{2}$.

In this study, using the temperature history analysis, the influences of the conductive values of wooden form, which are specified by Korean Standard for Concrete and ACI Practice Manual for Concrete, on the temperature history were examined. And, the calculated temperature history is compared with the measured temperature history. In the examination for the influences of the conductive values of wooden form, the value recommended by the Korean Standard can more closely predict the themperature history at the points which the variation of the boundary condition should be considered.

본 연구에서는 전도성 재료를 혼입한 광촉매 보도블록을 제조하여 질소산화물 제거율에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고 내구성이 향상된 블록을 제조하고자 하였다. 광촉매와 전도성 재료인 활성탄소를 혼입시 광촉매 효율이 향상되었으며 전도성 광촉매 콘크리트 블록의 경우 광촉매 콘크리트 블록보다 질소산화물 제거율이 2.5배 정도 향상되었다. 전도성 광촉매 시험편의 질소산화물 제거율이 높게 나타난 것은 전도성 재료인 활성탄소의 영향으로 TiO₂ 광분해로 인한 광전류가 많이 발생한 영향으로 볼 수 있으며 광촉매 시험편과 전도성 광촉매 시험편의 질소산화물 제거율 실험결과와 광전류 시험결과를 비교 분석하였다.
