A Study on the Prediction of Corrosion of Steel in Concrete Exposed to Sawater

해수에 노출된 콘크리트내의 철근부식 예측에 관한 연구

In this study, the characteristics of concrete strength according to age/curing condition and the penetration mechanism of seawater into the concrete has been studied. To this end, a comprehensive experimental program has been setup. The major test variables include the type of cement and the type of mineral admixture. The strength test as well as corrosion test have been conducted to explore the effects of chloride ion penetration on the properties of concrete. The experimental results and the developed theory in the present study can be efficiently used to analyze the chloride ion penetration and to estimate the durability of concrete structures.
