Abstract

Structures in our surroundings deteriorate over time due to environmental and chemical factors, resulting in a decrease in their performance. The primary causes of degradation in concrete structures are carbonation, salt damage, and freeze-thaw cycles. Various maintenance methods exist to address these degradation issues. However, research and technological development for existing maintenance methods have been ongoing, but the accuracy and effectiveness of repair materials and techniques have not been extensively validated. Therefore, in this study, we conducted a material performance evaluation of various manufacturers' repair materials. Based on this evaluation, we applied corrosion inhibitors and epoxy, which are the methods most closely related to crack repair, to assess the durability performance against carbonation, salt damage, and freeze-thaw cycles. The results show approximately a two-fold performance improvement against carbonation and salt damage, and a 5% enhancement in repair performance against freeze-thaw cycles. Thus, it is considered effective in preventing rebar corrosion when appropriate maintenance is carried out according to environmental and chemical factors during structural repairs.

우리 주변의 구조물들은 시간이 지남에 따라 환경적, 화학적 요인에 의해 열화 현상이 발생하며 구조물의 성능저하 현상이 나타난다. 콘크리트 구조물의 가장 큰 열화 현상 원인으로 탄산화, 염해, 동결융해 현상이 있다. 이러한 열화현상에 대하여 다양한 보수공법이 있다. 그러나 기존의 보수 공법에 대한 연구 및 기술개발은 꾸준히 진행되어 왔으나 보수재료와 기술의 정확성 및 실효성 검증은 크게 이루어지지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다양한 제조사의 보수재료에 관하여 재료 성능 평가를 수행하였고, 이를 바탕으로 균열과 가장 밀접한 공법에 사용되는 함침제와 에폭시를 적용 하여 탄산화, 염해, 동결융해에 대하여 내구성능 평가를 수행한다. 이 결과 탄산화와 염해는 대략 2배의 성능 개선과 동결융해의 경우 5 %의 보수 성능 향상을 나타낸다. 이처럼 추구 구조물 보수 시 환경적, 화학적 요인에 따라 적절한 보수를 실시한다면 철근 부식을 방지하는데 효과적일 것으로 판단된다.
