철근 콘크리트 구조물에 있어서 철근의 부식은 구조물의 내구성 측면에서 심각한 문제를 야기하고 있으며, 이에 대한 효율적인 대책의 하나로 에폭시 도막 철근의 사용이 제시되고 있으나, 철근 표면의 에폭시 도막으로 인하여 콘크리트와의 부착 성능이 저하되는 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이를 정확히 평가하고 대안을 제시하기 위한 기초단계로 이 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 생산되는 에폭시 도막 철근의 직접 부착 실험을 수행하고 부착성능을 평가하였다. 에폭시 도막 철근의 부착 실험은 지름 10, 19, 29mm의 철근에 대하여 콘크리트 피복두께를 철근 지름의 1, 2, 3, 4.5배로 하여 수행되었다. 총 66개의 시편이 RILEM 시험법에 따라 실험이 진행 되었는데, 에폭시 도막 철근의 지름이 증가할수록 에폭시 도막 철근과 일반철근의 부착응력 차이가 증가하였으며, 도막두께의 영향은 뚜렷하지 않았다. 또한, 에폭시 도막 철근의 부착강도는 KS 표준에 제시된 제한값인 일반 철근 대비 85%의 부착성능을 나타내는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 실험의 결과에 근거하여 평형방정식에 기초한 에폭시 도막 철근의 정착길이 증가계수를 수정한 새로운 산정식을 제안하였다.

As one of the serviceability limit states, the prediction and control of crack width in reinforced concrete bridges or PSC bridges are very important for the design of durable structures. However, the current bridge design specifications do not provide quantitative information for the prediction and control of crack width affected by the initiation and propagation of corrosion. Considering life span of concrete bridges, an improved control equation about the crack width affected by time-dependent general corrosion is proposed. The developed corrosion and crack width control models can be used for the design and the maintenance of prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcements by varying time, w/c, cover depth, and geometries of the sections. It can also help the rational criteria for the quantitative management and the prediction of remaining life of concrete structures.

Corrosion of steel reinforcement is the most important mode of concrete structures damages. It strongly depends on the composition and physicochemical properties of the cementitious medium. The use of waste materials as lightweight aggregates in concrete is environmentally recommended in polluted environments such as marine and/or industrial atmospheres in order to reduce its porosity and ensure the requested protection of reinforcing steel. The present study investigated the effect of waste cork addition on corrosion resistance of steel rebar in mortar specimen prepared in the laboratory. The main objective of this study was to improve the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel. Another objective of this study was to valorize this ecological product and preserve the environment. Results obtained from various electrochemical tests indicated that the presence of a fine cork powder substantially improved the corrosion resistance of steel in the mortar contaminated by chloride ions. This improvement was reflected by a notable decrease in corrosion current density and a shift of corrosion potential of the steel towards more noble values. Moreover, the presence of a fine cork powder in the mortar had no adverse effect on its mechanical properties.

Chloride ions are considered to be the major cause of steel corrosion in concrete structures exposed to seashore environments and also permeation of chloride is controlled by chloride diffusion. Therefore, the study on chloride diffusion of concrete have been done so far by many researchers. It is reported that coating material as surface covering material is effect about deterioration of salt damage and carbonation, therefore these materials are important in durability of concrete structure. In this study, corrosion characteristics of reinforcement concrete according to types of surface covering material were evaluated by water-cement ratio, chloride penetration by age on the corrosion area rate and mass decrement of reinforcement. And it is considered that the result of this study on application of the corrosion characteristics of reinforcements under salt damage environmental will be suggested as fundamental data of control performance of salt damage. It is performed that comparison and examination of control performance of salt damage by the corrosion characteristics under salt damage environmental.

Corrosion is a natural, inevitable process, and is one of the world's most serious problems. Losses incurred due to corrosion are extremely expensive for society. Several technological strategies have been explored and implemented to address these losses. The use of inhibitors to prevent corrosion is a common and efficient method to reduce corrosion losses. This review covers Al and Al-composite corrosion inhibitors in chloride-containing solutions, because of their popularity in a broad array of industrial applications. A vast number of studies in the literature detail the common tendency of Al and Al-composites with reinforcements to deteriorate. Accordingly, it is worthwhile to employ inhibitors to protect them, as discussed in the present work. The emphasis is on selecting the smartest corrosion inhibitor and evaluating its performance. According to the study, the most commonly used corrosion inhibitors are 1,4-naphthoquinone (NQ), 1,5-naphthalene diol, 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole-5-thiol (ATAT), ammonium tetrathiotungstate, clotrimazole, amoxicillin, antimicrobial and antifungal drugs. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), potentiodynamic (PDP), and weight loss were among the most commonly used modern electrochemical technologies to test inhibitors' efficacy under environmental conditions.

This study addresses the evaluation of the durability of reinforced concrete marine structures subjected to fatigue loading. The laboratory investigation was carried out on full and half size reinforced concrete specimens with three different water cement ratios (0.3, 0.4, and 0.56), static and fatigue loading conditions, and epoxy-coated and regular black steel reinforcements. The marine tidal zone was simulated by alternate filling and draining of the tank (wet and dry cycled), and a galvanostatic corrosion technique to accelerate corrosion of reinforcement was used. Half-cell potentials and changes of crack width were measured periodically during the exposure and followed by ultimate strength testing. The significant findings include adverse effect of fatigue loading, existence of an explicit size effect, poor performance of epoxy coated steel, and negative effect of increasing water/cement ratio.

Life-cycle performance analysis of a reinforced concrete box section bridge was generated. Moreover, Monte Carlo simulation with important sampling (IS) was used to simulate the bridge material and load uncertainties. The bridge deterioration model was generated with the basic probabilistic principles and updated according to the measurement data. A genetic algorithm (GA) with the response surface model (RSM) was used to determine the deterioration rate. The importance of health monitoring systems to sustain the bridge to give services economically and reliably and the advantages of fiber-optic sensors for SHM applications were discussed in detail. This study showed that the most effective loss of strength in reinforced concrete box section bridges is corrosion of the reinforcements. Due to reinforcement corrosion, the use of the bridge, which was examined, could not meet the desired strength performance in 25 years, and the need for reinforcement. In addition, it has been determined that long-term health monitoring systems are an essential approach for bridges to provide safe and economical service. Moreover the use of fiber optic sensors has many advantages because of the ability of the sensors to be resistant to environmental conditions and to make sensitive measurements.

철근 콘크리트 구조물에서 철근의 부식은 내구성 문제를 발생시키고 있으며, 이에 대한 대책의 하나로 에폭시 도막철근이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 에폭시 도막철근을 사용하는 경우 철근 부식에 대한 저항성능은 우수하나 철근에 에폭시 도막을 함으로써 콘크리트와의 부착력이 일반철근에 비하여 감소하는 단점이 있다. 따라서 부착성능에 대한 실험적인 확인이 필요하여 ACI 408R에서 제시하는 대표적인 실험 방법인 휨 부재를 통하여 부착거동을 연구할 수 있는 보-단부 test와 직접인발을 통해 부착 특성을 분석하는 Pullout test를 통하여 부착성능을 평가하였다. 에폭시 도막 철근의 부착실험은 휨 부재실험과 직접인발 실험 모두 지름 13, 19mm의 철근에 대한 콘크리트 도막두께를 철근 지름의 3배로 하여 수행되었다. 실험 결과 에폭시 도막철근의 부착강도는 철근의 지름이 증가할수록 에폭시 도막 철근과 일반철근의 부착강도차이가 증가하였고 파괴형상은 모두 뽑힘 파괴를 나타내었다. 또한, 직접인발시험으로 구한 부착-미끌림 관계에 근거하여 유한요소해석을 수행하고, 휨 실험결과와 비교하였다. 부착성능을 평가하는 방법으로 실제 구조물에 거동을 모사를 위해서 직접인발시험보다 휨 부재시험이 보다 유용한 것으로 사료된다.

Long-term experiments have been conducted on two important safety issues: long-term durability of a concrete barrier with the steel reinforcements and gas generation from low-and intermediate-level wastes in an underground research tunnel of a radioactive waste disposal facility. The gas generation and microbial communities were monitored from waste packages (200 L and 320 L) containing simulated dry active wastes. In the concrete experiment, corrosion sensors were installed on the steel reinforcements which were embedded 10 cm below the surface of concrete in a concrete mock-up, and groundwater was fed into the mock-up at a pressure of 2.1 bars to accelerate groundwater infiltration. No clear evidence was observed with respect to corrosion initiation of the steel reinforcement for 4 years of operation. This is attributed to the high integrity and low hydraulic conductivity of the concrete. In the gas generation experiment, significant levels of gas generation were not measured for 4 years. These experiments are expected to be conducted for a period of more than 10 years.
