The present study concerns the influence of binder type on the chloride-induced corrosion being accompanied by the chloride threshold level (CTL), chloride transport and as their results the corrosion-free lift. Two levels of cement content, $30\%$ PFA and $65\%$ GGBS concrete were employed. It was found that the most dominant factor to the CTL is the entrapped air void content at the steel-concrete interface, irrespective of the chloride binding capacity, binder type and acid neutralisation capacity of cement matrix. The CTL for lower interfacial air void contents was significantly increased up to $1.52\%$ by weight of cement, whereas a same mix produced $0.35\%$ for a higher level of voids. Because of a remarkable reduction in the diffusion fur GGBS concrete, its time to corrosion ranges from 255 to 1,250 days, while the corrosion-free life for control varies from 20 to 199 days sand for $30\%$ PFA concrete from 200 to 331 days.

해양 환경에 노출된 구조물의 열화를 평가하는데 있어서 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해서는 기존의 사양설계에 비해 한 단계 발전된 신뢰성에 기반한 확률론적 설계가 필요하다. 또한 내구성 설계에 있어서 중요한 변수가 되는 임계염화물량은 국내 콘크리트 시방서에서 $1.2kg/m^3$으로 결정되었으나, 실설계 적용시 과다 설계를 유발하는 등의 문제를 보여주고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 문헌을 통해 임계염화물량의 확률 특성을 결정하고, 실제 실험 및 문헌 고찰을 통하여 표면염화물량, 확산계수, 피복두께의 확률적 특성을 고려하였다. 이를 이용하여 Monte Carlo Simulation을 활용한 신뢰성 염해 내구성 해석을 침매 터널 구조물에 대해 수행하여 대상 구조물의 염해내구성능을 평가하고 콘크리트 표준시방서에서 제시한 부식 임계 염소이온농도에 대한 타당성을 검토하였다. 분석 결과, 현실적인 염해 내구성 설계 및 평가를 위하여 기존에 제안된 $1.2kg/m^3$의 임계값에 대한 검토 및 개선이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

It should be noted that the critical chloride threshold level is not considered to be a unique value for all conditions. This value is dependent on concrete mixture proportions, cement type and constituents, presence of admixtures, environmental factors, steel reinforcement surface conditions, and other factors. In this study, the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was conducted by electrochemical and sea water-circulated method, respectively and during the test, corrosion monitoring by half cell potential method was carried out to estimate the critical chloride threshold value when corrosion for reinforcing steel in concrete was perceived. For this purpose, lollypop and beam test specimens were made for $31.4\%,\;41.5\%\;and\;49.7\%$ of w/c. respectively and then the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was executed. It was observed from the test that the time to initiation of corrosion was found to be different with water-cement ratio and the critical chloride threshold value was found to range from 0.91 to $1.27kg/m^3$.

The present study surveys the concrete properties-concerned factors influencing the chloride threshold level for steel corrosion in concrete, altogether with supporting experimental works, in particular, chloride binding capacity, buffering capacity, condition of steel-concrete interface and cement replacement. It concluded that the order of the dominance on CTL is such that chloride binding < buffering capacity of cement matrix < physical condition of steel-concrete interface. This is attributed to the fact that calcium hydroxide does not form a continuous layer on the steel surface and that bound chlorides are released at the stage of corrosion initiation.

The chloride threshold level (CTL) in mixed concrete containing, ordinary Portland cement (OPC), pulverized fuel ash (PFA) ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), and silica fume (SF) is important for study on corrosion of reinforced concrete structures. The CTL is defined as a critical content of chloride at the steel depth of the steel which causes the breakdown of the passive film. The criterion of the CTL represented by total chloride content has been used due to convenience and practicality. In order to demonstrate a relationship between the CTL by total chloride content and the CTL by free chloride content, corrosion test and chloride binding capacity test were carried out. In corrosion test, Mortar specimens were cast using OPC, PFA, GGBS and SF, chlorides were admixed ranging 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0% by weight of binder. All specimens were cured 28 days, and then the corrosion rate was measured by the Tafel's extrapolation method. In chloride binding capacity, paste specimens were casting using OPC, PFA, GGBS and SF, chlorides were admixed ranging 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0% by weight of binders. At 28days, solution mixed with the powder of ground specimens was used to measure binding capacity. All specimens of both experiments were wrapped in polythene film to avoid leaching out of chloride and hydroxyl ions. As a result, the CTL by total chloride content ranged from 0.36-1.44% by weight of binders and the CTL by free chloride content ranged from 0.14-0.96%. Accordingly, the difference was ranging, from 0.22 to 0.48% by weight of binder. The order of difference for binder is OPC > 10% SF > 30% PFA > 60% GGBS.

콘크리트 중의 철근부식은 콘크리트 제조시 초기부터 콘크리트 중에 존재하는 염소이온과 기상작용 등의 환경요인에 의하여 외부로부터 침투하는 염소이온이 어느 값 (임계염화물량) 이상의 경우에 발생한다. 이 때문에 각 국에서는 콘크리트 중의 염소이온량의 상한치를 규제하고 있으며, 국가별 상황에 적절하게 상이한 방법으로 규제하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 중 염소이온량의 합리적인 규제방법을 제안하기 위하여, 단위시멘트량이 다른 콘크리트 중의 염소이온에 의한 철근부식 임계 염화물량을 실험적으로 산출하였다. 그 결과, 철근부식 임계염화물량은 단위시멘트량의 변화에 따라 크게 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 실험으로부터 얻어진 철근부식 임계염화물량은 기존의 모델계산의 결과와 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었다. 현행과 같이 철근부식 임계염화물량을 콘크리트 단위체적 당의 양 (콘크리트 총량표기)으로 단위시멘트량에 관계없이 일률적으로 관리하면, 단위시멘트량 등의 콘크리트 배합조건, 환경조건의 변화 등이 철근부식 임계염화물량에 미치는 영향을 고려할 수 없을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, 철근부식 임계염화물량을 단위시멘트량 당의 양 (시멘트 종량표기)으로 표기하는 것으로, 단위시멘트량에 관계없이 일정한 값으로 표시할 수 있기 때문에 합리적이라고 판단된다.

The high alkaline property in the concrete pore solution protects the embedded steel in concrete from corrosion due to aggressive ions attack. However, a continuous supply of those ions, in particular, chlorides altogether with a pH fall in electrochemical reaction on the steel surface eventually depassivate the steel to corrode. To mitigate chloride-induced corrosion in concrete structures, finely grained mineral admixtures, for example, pulverized fuel ash (PFA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and silica fume (SF) have been often advised to replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) partially as binder. A consistent assessment of those partial replacements has been rarely performed with respect to the resistance of each binder to corrosion, although the studies for each binder were extensively looked into in a way of measuring the corrosion rate, influence of microstructure or chemistry of chlorides ions with cement hydrations. The paper studies the behavior of steel corrosion, chloride transport, pore structure and buffering capacity of those cementitious binders. The corrosion rate of steel in mortars of OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF respectively, with chloride in cast ranging from 0.0 to 3.0% by weight of binder was measured at 7, 28 and 150 days to determine the chloride threshold level and the rate of corrosion propagation, using the anodic polarization technique. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was also applied to cement pastes of each binder at 7 and 28 days to ensure the development of pore structure. Finally, the release rate of bound chlorides (i.e. buffering capacity) was measured at 150 days. The chloride threshold level was determined assuming that the corrosion rate is beyond 1-2 mA/$m^3$ at corrosion and the order of the level was OPC > 10% SF > 60% GGBS > 30% PFA. Mercury intrusion porosimetry showed that 10% SF paste produced the most dense pore structure, followed by 60% GGBS, 30% PFA and OPC pastes, respectively. It was found that OPC itself is beneficial in resisting to corrosion initiation, but use of pozzolanic materials as binders shows more resistance to chloride transport into concrete, thus delay the onset of corrosion.

This value is dependent on concrete mix proportions, cement type and constituents, presence of admixtures, environmental factors, reinforcement surface conditions, and other factors. In this study, the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was conducted by electrochemical and cyclic wet and dry seawater method, respectively and during the test, corrosion monitoring by half-cell potential method was carried out to detect the time to initiation of corrosion for individual test specimen. For this purpose, lollypop and right hexahedron test specimens were made for 31%, 42%, and 50% of W/C, respectively, and then the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was executed. It was observed from the test that the time to initiation of corrosion was found to be different with the water-cement ratio and accelerated corrosion test method, respectively and the critical chloride threshold values were found to range from 0.91 to $1.47kg/m^3$.
