In this paper, we focused on the self-healing concrete using new nano-capsules. Three types of nano-capsules with respect to availability, high strength and temperature tolerance are used; type 1 is URF and polyethylene (PE) as shell and nano titanium oxide (TiO₂) as core, type 2 is URF and PE as shell and nano silica oxide (SiO₂) as core, type 3 is PE as shell and nano silica oxide (SiO₂) as core. The concrete samples mixed by nano-capsules with three percents of 0.5, 1 and 1.5. Based on experimental tests and the compressive strength of samples, the URF-PE-SiO₂ is selected for additional tests of compressive strength before and after recovery, ultrasonic test, ion chlorine and water penetration depths. After careful investigation, it is concluded that the optimum value of URF-PE-SiO₂ nano-capsules is 0.5% since leads to higher compressive strength, ultrasonic test, ion chlorine and water penetration depths.

본 연구에서는 표면 침투 및 코팅형 흡수방지재인 Polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS)을 고인성 섬유복합체(ECC)에 적용하여 적용성, 강도 평가 및 염화물이온 침투 저항성능에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. PDMS 적용 방법에 따른 침투깊이를 분석한 결과 모든 방법에서 KS F 4930 의 기준을 만족하는 것을 확인하였다. 적용 방법 중, 침지 방법이 가장 우수한 침투깊이를 보였으나 현장적용성을 고려할 경우 스프레이 방법이 적용 가능한 것으로 확인되었다. ECC 배합에 따른 PDMS 침투깊이 실험 결과 배합강도가 감소할수록 침투깊이는 최대 70% 이상 증가하는 경향을 나타났다. 압축강도 시험 결과에서는 PDMS 침투 깊이가 큰 M4-A, M4-B 시험체의 압축강도는 PDMS를 적용하지 않은 M4 시험체와 비교하여 9.6%, 8.0% 압축강도가 감소하였다. 또한, 침투깊이가 작은 M1-A와 M1-B 시험체의 압축강도는 M1 시험체와 비교하여 4%, 2.2% 감소하여 PDMS 침투깊이가 클수록 강도감소율이 증가하였다. 염소이온침투 저항성능 평가 시험결과, PDMS의 침투깊이가 클수록 염소이온 침투 저항성능이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

To evaluate the safety status of deteriorated segments in a submarine shield tunnel during its service life, a seepage model was established based on a cross-sea shield tunnel project. This model was used to study the migration patterns of erosive ions within the shield segments. Based on these laws, the degree of deterioration of the segments was determined. Using the derived analytical solution, the internal forces within the segments were calculated. Lastly, by applying the formula for calculating safety factors, the variation trends in the safety factors of segments with different degrees of deterioration were obtained. The findings demonstrate that corrosive seawater presents the evolution characteristics of continuous seepage from the outside to the inside of the tunnel. The nearby seepage field shows locally concentrated characteristics when there is leakage at the joint, which causes the seepage field's depth and scope to significantly increase. The chlorine ion content decreases gradually with the increase of the distance from the outer surface of the tunnel. The penetration of erosion ions in the segment is facilitated by the presence of water pressure. The ion content of the entire ring segment lining structure is related in the following order: vault < haunch < springing. The difference in the segment's rate of increase in chlorine ion content decreases as service time increases. Based on the analytical solution calculation, the segment's safety factor drops more when the joint leaks than when its intact, and the change rate between the two states exhibits a general downward trend. The safety factor shows a similar change rule at different water depths and continuously decreases at the same segment position as the water depth increases. The three phases of "sudden drop-rise-stability" are represented by a "spoon-shaped" change rule on the safety factor's change curve. The issue of the poor applicability of indicators in earlier studies is resolved by the analytical solution, which only requires determining the loss degree of the segment lining's effective bearing thickness to calculate the safety factor of any cross-section of the shield tunnel. The analytical solution's computation results, however, have some safety margins and are cautious. The process of establishing the evaluation model indicates that the secondary lining made of molded concrete can also have its safety status assessed using the analytical solution. It is very important for the safe operation of the tunnel and the safety of people's property and has a wide range of applications.
