비운송 지중구조물인 전력구와 공동구는 대부분 철근 콘크리트 구조물로서 공용기간이 경과함에 따라 탄산화에 의한 열화로 내구성이 저하된다. 특히, 전력구 및 공동구는 용도별, 지역별로 탄산화 속도가 상이하므로 개별적인 유지관리를 위해서는 탄산화 실측 데이터에 기반한 예측 모델이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 노후화 된 전력구 및 공동구와 같이 기존 비운송 지중구조물에 대한 탄산화 예측 모델을 개발하였다. 탄산화 예측 모델 개발을 위해 안전점검에서 확보한 실측 데이터를 기반으로 다중회귀분석 및 심층신경망 기법을 활용하였다. 다중회귀분석에서 종속 변수인 탄산화 속도계수 결정을 위해 독립 변수로서 구조물, 지역, 측정 위치, 시공 유형, 측정 부재, 콘크리트 강도를 선정하였으며, 다중회귀 예측 모델의 수정결정계수(Ra2)는 0.67로 분석되었다. 심층신경망을 이용한 비운송 지중구조물의 탄산화 예측 모델결정계수(R2)는 0.82로 나타났으며, 비교대상 모델보다 우수한 예측 성능을 보였다. 심층신경망을 이용한 비운송 지중구조물의 탄산화 예측 모델은 콘크리트 강도에 기초한 것으로, 본 연구의 결과가 노후화 된 전력구 및 공동구에 대한 탄산화 유지보수 최적 시기 결정 및 예방적 유지관리 방법론에 기여되길 기대한다.

Carbonation is a natural ageing process for cement. This study focuses on how the carbonation rate varies with selected hydration times and atmospheric conditions during the early stages of reacting dried cement paste. Diffuse reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy is shown to be a suitable technique to monitor the formation of carbonates in cement. Combined with a previously developed freeze drying technique, carbonation can be studied at specific hydration stages. In ambient air both calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) in cement are carbonated. Increased hydration time enhances the carbon dioxide uptake, which indicates that the calcium in the hydration products reacts more easily than the calcium in the clinker phase. In a humid $CO_2$ atmosphere, the carbonation process is so pronounced that it decomposes C-S-H into calcium carbonate and silica. In a moist $N_2$ atmosphere no carbonation occurs, but the sulfate chemistry of the cement seems to be affected due to the formation of ettringite.

일반적으로 일반대기중의 $CO_2$ 농도는 낮기 때문에 자연상태에서는 중성화정도는 매우 느리게 된다. 따라서 콘크리트의 중성화 정도를 평가하기 위해서는 일반적으로 진행속도를 빠르게 하기 위하여 촉진 시험조건하에서 진행하게 된다. 따라서 본 논문은 $CO_2$의 확산 및 $Ca(OH)_2$와의 반응을 바탕으로 한 수학적 모델을 통하여 일반대기환경하에서의 콘크리트 중성화 진행을 예측하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 본 논문에서는 촉진 중성화시험을 통하여 얻어진 실험치와 가장 유사한 $CO_2$ 확산계수를 채택하여 일반대기환경에서의 중성화진행을 예측하고자 하였다. 그 결과 $CO_2$ 확산계수를 이용한 수학적 모델을 통하여 마감재 종류에 관계없이 일반대기환경에서의 콘크리트 중성화진행속도를 예측할 수 있었다.

In this study, unstable CaO was converted into a stable Ca compound by using carbonation in a circulating fluidized bed boiler of fly ash to confirm material usability as cement admixture; also undertaken was carbonation test and mortar to examine chemical and physical change by measuring absorption rate and compressive strength. To investigate the chemical properties of circulating fluidized bed boiler fly ash, XRD and TG-DTA were used to determine how the properties of the reaction product change quantitatively during carbonation. In order to stabilize CaO, carbonation of CaO is considered to be the most desirable process. This is because $CaCO_3$, which is a Ca compound, was produced by carbonate reaction of unstable CaO, and decrease of the absorption rate and improvement of the compressive strength were observed when the carbonated fly ash was replaced with cement.

This study was carried out ont the longterm aged reinforced concrete housings for the prediction of life expectancy and the suggestion of fundamental informations on the durable concrete. In this paper, the durability of concrete is compared with carbonation depth, and the measutrments fo carbonation depth and properties have been made on the number of cores taken from structures. And finally, the relationships between carbonation rate and such properties as strength, absorption ratio, density were examined.

During the carbonation process in concrete, the rate of carbonation depends on porosity and moisture content of the concrete. For underground reinforced concrete structures, the interior concrete surface may be exposed to carbonation and the exterior concrete surface exposed to moisture due to wet soil or underground water. In this study, the permeability coefficients in mortar partially carbonated is derived as a function of carbonation depth and porosity of mortar by applying the so-called micro pore structure formation model (MPSFM) which was developed for the modeling of early-aged concrete. The permeability coefficient obtained from the micro-level modeling of carbonated mortar is verified with the results of accelerated carbonation test and water penetration test in cement mortar.

Recently, the premature corrosion for reinforced concrete structure exposed to chloride bring about a serious problem in concrete structures. Specially, the concrete structures of sea coast are exposed much to chloride which make rapid corrosion. Thus, construction activities and maintenances for marine facilities are more demanded than those for land structures. The results of this study have been analysed to identify the extent of chloride content and incidence of carbonation for construction age. After measuring chloride content in concrete, it was conclued that about 90% of all tests on concrete samples exceed the acceptable maximum limit to risk of chloride-induced carbonation. The carbonation rate coffnient by age of train structures in the east eatimated 6. 55, 4.76 grater than 3. 727. In the basis of this result, it is necessary to maintenance for the important train facilities with the regular tests of chloride and carbonation.

The purpose of this study was to prepare lightweight foamed concrete by mixing coal fly ash of circulating fluidized bed combustion(CFBC) with cement, and to develop uses for recycling by analyzing carbonation behavior resulting from a change in conditions for pressurized carbonation. For concrete, CFBC coal fly ash was mixed with Portland cement to the water-binder ratio of 0.5, and aging was applied at room temperature after 3 days of curing at $20^{\circ}C$, RH 60%. For carbonation, temperature was fixed at $60^{\circ}C$ and time at 1 h in the use of autoclave. Pressures were controlled to be $5kgf/cm^2$ and the supercritical condition of $80kgf/cm^2$, and gas compositions were employed as $CO_2$ 100% and $CO_2$ 15%+N2 85%. In the characteristics of produced lightweight concrete, the characteristics of lightweight foamed concrete resulting from carbonation reaction were affirmed through rate of weight change, carbonation depth test, air permeability, and processing analysis for the day 28 specimen. Based on these results, it is concluded that the present approach could provide a viable method for mass production of eco-friendly lightweight foamed concrete from CFBC coal fly ash stabilized by carbonation.

In this study, on the basis of the results of the field survey and the theoretical consideration for Korean Standard Specification for concrete durability and maintenance, the following conclusions are derived. From the survey, the prediction equation of carbonation depth for the southwest region in Korea is experimentally proposed, $y_p=5.865{\sqrt{t}}$, which predicts about 60mm of the carbonation depth for the concrete structures of 100 years, a 1st class of target endurance period, under a combined deterioration environment like a marine environment. Considering that the marginal value for a carbonation depth limitation under very severely marine environment is 25mm, in accordance with the Specification, it is found that the predicting carbonation depth for the concrete cover depths, 100mm and 60mm are 63mm and 29.4mm, respectively. In conclusion, according to the equation and the Specification, it is strongly required that the reinforced concrete structures with the cover depth under 100mm have to make a protection from combined deterioration factors by any methods like a surface coating, an increment of cover depth or an application of a special concrete.

This paper investigates the reaction rates of $CO_2$ that stores carbonation through comparing the carbonation behavior between $Ca(OH)_2$ and fly ash with circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) containing a large amount of free CaO. Because fly ash with CFBC contains abundant free CaO, it cannot be used as a raw material for concrete admixtures; hence, its usage is limited. Thus, it has been buried until now. In order to consider its reuse, we conduct carbonation reactions and investigate its rates. X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) are conducted for the physical and chemical analyses of the raw materials. Furthermore, we use a PH meter and thermometer to verify the carbonization rates. We set the content of the fly ash of CFBC, $Ca(OH)_2$, $CO_2$ flow rate, and water to 100 ~ 400 g, 30 ~ 120 g, 700 cc/min, and 300 ~ 1200 g, respectively, based on the content of the free CaO determined through the TG/DTA analyses. As a result, the carbonization rate of the fly ash with CFBC is the same as that of $Ca(OH)_2$, and it tends to increase linearly. Based on these results, we investigate the carbonization behavior as a function of the free CaO content contained in the raw material.
