Carbonation in RC (reinforced concrete) structure is considered as one of the most critical deteriorations in urban cities. Although RC column has one mix condition, carbonation depth is measured spatially differently due to its various environmental and internal conditions such as sound, cracked, and joint concrete. In this paper, field investigation was performed for 27 RC columns subjected to carbonation for eighteen years. Through this investigation, carbonation distribution in sound, cracked, and joint concrete were derived with crack mappings. Considering each related area and calculated PDF (probability of durability failure) of sound, cracked, and joint concrete through Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), repairing timings for RC columns are derived based on several IPDF (intended probability of durability failure) of 1, 3, and 5%. The technique of equivalent probability including carbonation behaviors which are obtained from different conditions can provide the reasonable repairing strategy and the priority order for repairing in a given traffic service area.

Reliability-based durability model was developed to consider the uncertainty of analysis variables in durability model for harbor concrete structures. The durability analysis program based on Finite Element Method (FEM) was modified adopting the reliability concept to estimate the probability of durability failure. Water-cement ratio in the durability analysis is the most important factor influencing chloride diffusion coefficient, evaporable water, etc. The probability distribution of water-cement ratio was calculated converting standard deviations of compressive strength in Concrete Standard Code to those of water-cement ratio. Based on the Monte Carlo Simulation, the probabilities of penetration depth and durability failure were calculated.

In recent years, many research works have been carried out in order to obtain a more controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing environments. In particular, the development of new procedures for probability-based durability analysis/design has proved to be very valuable. Although there is still a lack of relevant data, this approach has been successfully applied to some new concrete structures. In this paper, the equation used for modelling of the chloride penetration was based on Fick's Second Law of Diffusion in combination with a time dependent diffusion coefficient. The probability analysis of the durability performance was performed by use of a Monte Carlo Simulation. The procedure was applied to an example based on limited data gathered in this country. The influences of each parameter on the durability of concrete structures are studied and some comments for durability design are given. The new procedure may be very useful in designing an important concrete structures in chloride containing environments. Also it may help to predict the service life of concrete structures under a given probability of failure.

In this study, field survey of carbonation for RC column in city is carried out and carbonation behavior in sound, joint, and cracked concrete is also analyzed. Futhermore, probability of durability failure with time is calculated through considering probability variables such as concrete cover depth and carbonation depth which are obtained from field survey. The probability of durability failure in cracked concrete with considering crack width and time is also calculated and service life is predicted based on intended failure probability in domestic specification. Through this study, it is known that service life in a RC column is evaluated differently for local conditions and each service life is rapidly decreased with decrease in cover depth and increase in crack width.

In recent years, much research work has been performed on durability design and long-term performance of concrete structures in marine environments. In particular, the development of new procedures for probability-based durability design has been shown to provide a more realistic basis for the analysis. This approach has been successfully applied to several new concrete structures, where requirements for a more controlled durability and service life have been specified. For reinforced concrete structures in a marine environment, it is commonly assumed that the dominant degradation mechanism is the corrosion of the reinforcement due to the presence of chlorides. The design approach is based on the verification of durability limit states, examples of which are: depassivation of reinforcement, cracking and spalling due to corrosion, and collapse due to cross section loss of reinforcement. With this design approach the probability of failure can be determined as a function of time. In the present paper, a probability-based durability performance analysis is used in order to demonstrate the importance of the durability design approach of concrete structures in marine environments. In addition, the sensitivity of the various durability parameters affecting and controlling the durability of concrete structures in a marine environment is studied. Results show that the potential of this approach to assist durability design decisions making process is great. Based the crucial information generated, it is possible to prolong the service life of structures while simultaneously optimizing the final design solution.

염해에 노출된 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 평가는 매우 중요하므로 최근들어 결정론적 및 확률론적 방법을 통하여 내구수명을 평가하는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. Fick's 2nd 법칙에 근거한 내구수명 평가방법은 표면 염화물량과 확산계수의 시간의존성을 고려하여 합리적인 설계를 수행하고 있으나, 확률론적 방법에서는 이러한 영향이 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간에 따라 증가하는 표면염화물량을 유효 표면염화물량으로 고려한 뒤 시간의존성 확산계수를 고려하여 내구적 파괴확률을 도출할 수 있는 해석기법을 제안하였다. 표면염화물에 도달하는 기간을 10~30년으로, 표면염화물량을 $5.0{\sim}10.0kg/m^3$으로 변화시키면서 내구적 파괴확률을 평가하고 내구수명의 변화를 분석하였다. 제안된 기법은 결정론적 내구수명 평가방법의 해석조건을 동일하게 적용시키면서 설계인자의 확률 변동성을 고려할 수 있으므로 과다한 설계를 방지함으로서 합리적인 설계기법으로 적용할 수 있다.

콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 저하에 큰 영향을 미치는 요인 중의 하나로 인식되고 있는 탄산화가 항만 구조물에 미치는 영향을 현장실험결과를 바탕으로 정량적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 전국 65개 항만시설의 369개소의 탄산화 깊이 측정결과를 이용하여 강도와 탄산화 깊이의 상관관계 및 피복두께와 탄산화 깊이의 상관관계 등에 대해서 고찰하였다. 또한, 기존 탄산화 모델식들과 계측결과들을 비교하고 실험결과들을 바탕으로 신뢰성 이론을 기반으로한 탄산화에 의한 내구성 파괴확률(철근부식확률)을 검토하였다. 현장실험결과에 의하면 대부분의 탄산화 깊이가 피복두께의 0.2배 이하 수준이었다. 또한, 강도의 증가에 따라 탄산화 깊이가 감소하고 재령의 증가에 따라 탄산화 깊이가 증가함을 관찰하였다. 신뢰성이론을 기반으로 탄산화에 의한 내구성 파괴확률을 판단하였는데, 대부분의 경우에 부식확률이 10%미만으로 관찰되었다. 따라서, 탄산화 단일열화조건으로는 항만 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 저하에 큰 영향을 주지 않을 것으로 판단하였다.

endocarditis, 1.475% /pt-yr, overall valve failure, 3.319% /pt-yr; and primary tissue failure, 1.475% /pt-yr. The actuarial probability of survival was 94.3$\pm$3.6% and the probability of freedom from thromboembolism 90.6$\pm$4.6% at 11 years after surgery respectively. And, the probability of freedom from primary tissue failure was 60.4$\pm$16.9% also at 11 years The evidence of possible premature and accelerated failure of the pericardial valve in the aortic position among the young population was not clear on the age-related analysis of the structural failure, and no suggestion could be made to indicate age limit when the use of the pericardial valve would better be avoided.

철근콘크리트의 내구성을 저하시키는 주요 원인중의 하나는 콘크리트 탄산화로 인하여 철근이 부식되는 것이다. 탄산화속도는 구조물이 위치한 환경의 이산화탄소 농도, 콘크리트 품질, 구조물의 형상 등에 의해 영향을 받게 되는데 특히, 도심지 콘크리트 구조물의 탄산화에 대한 문제가 증가되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 국내에서 광범위하게 시공된 교량구조물에 대한 실태조사를 이용하여 탄산화가 교량구조물에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 또한 계측결과들을 바탕으로 탄산화에 의한 구조물의 내구적 파괴확률을 신뢰성 이론을 기반으로 하여 분석하였다. 도심지 환경에 따른 탄산화의 분석결과 콘크리트 강도가 증가함에 따라 탄산화 속도가 감소하고, 교량의 사용년수가 증가함에 따라 탄산화 깊이는 증가함을 보였다. 또한 신뢰성이론을 기반으로 도심지 교량의 내구적 파괴확률을 분석한 결과, 대부분의 경우 내구적 파괴확률이 10%이상으로 분석되었고, 목표내구수명을 만족하기 위해 최소 피복두께가 70-80mm이상 확보되어야 할 것으로 분석되었다.
