Generally, it is known that urethane injection is excellent in long-term durability and environment friendly for ground improvement. However, urethane grouting has short rise time thus the penetration distance from the injection point is so short. Therefore, urethane injection cannot be used for the site where requires ground improvement in deep location from the injection point. Other injection materials such as cement cannot be alternatives when rapid hardening is required. From this study, we improve disadvantage urethane injection by developing TAS method. From the field tests, it is ascertained that TAS increases injection distance over 10m, which is further than that of original urethane grouting. In addition, TAS has relatively short Rise-time compared to cement grouting thus instantaneous improvement can be mobilized right after the injection. Short Rise-time and long penetration distance provide excellent applicability for tunnel construction.

Generally it is informed that urethane materials are superior to the others in physical characteristics, durability, ground improvement and the influence to environment . But, the existing urethane methods are too expensive to apply. So this study has analyzed the applicability of TAS method which has developed the existing urethane injection mechanism. From the results, Extending the max-infection distance over l0m from 6m which the existing methods could inject to, TAS method has proved to be economical. Also, the TAS method is obtained quickly to ground improvement effect in various tunnel constructions because rise-time was relatively shorter than that of cement-grouting. Therefore, it is expected that TAS method would be applied a lot for water proof and ground improvement etc. owing to its many advantages mentioned the above.

Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures in marine environment is one of the most important mechanism of deterioration. The conventional repair techniques of concrete structure damaged by chloride attack consist of removing damaged concrete, cleaning rebar and patching with cement-based materials. However, recently, this method was considered to be ineffective for marine concrete structure in tidal zone. It is necessary to select proper repair method for domestic marine environment which shows broad tidal zone. This paper reports the results of repair of highway concrete bridge damaged by chloride attack in domestic marine environment.
