The corrosion of reinforcement is the main reason for the performance degradation of concrete structures. The pre-rusted parts of rebar in concrete structures are vulnerable to the corrosion, especially if the structure is exposed to wet or chlorinated environments. In this study, effects of different curing solution on corrosion behavior of the pre-rusted rebars in the cement composites were investigated. HCl(3%) and CaCl₂(10%) solution were utilized to accelerate the pre-rust of the rebar, and each pre-rust condition rebar including reference (RE) were placed in mortar cylinder. Three kinds of samples then were cured in CaCl₂ (3%) solution and tap water respectively for 120 days. Electrochemical polarization and half-cell potential measurement were used to monitor the influence of curing water on the corrosion behavior of pre-rusted steel bar in cement composite. The surface morphology and composition of corroded steel bar were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray diffraction. The results show that the corrosion rates of pre-rusted samples in both curing water are higher than that of non-pre-rusted samples. The corrosion rates of RE, CaCl₂ and HCl pre-rusted samples in salt water were 8.14, 4.48, 13.81 times higher than those in tap water respectively, on the 120th day.

철근 콘크리트 구조부재는 철근과 콘크리트로 구성된 합성부재이므로, 철근콘크리트 구조부재의 피로강도는 철근과 콘크리트 고유의 피로특성에 따라 변화하게 된다. 철근자체의 피로특성은 철근의 정적강도 특성과 상이함으로, 실험을 통하여 규명할 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 대표적인 국내 2개사에서 생산되는 철근에 대하여 직접인장 피로실험을 실시하여 이들의 피로특성을 규명하였으며, 철근콘크리트 휨부재 내부의 철근 피로특성과 철근만의 직접인장 피로특성의 비교 분석으로부터 직접인장 피로실험만으로 철근콘크리트 휨부재의 피로특성을 평가할 수 있음을 밝혔다. 또한 반복하중을 받는 철근콘크리트 부재의 피로점토를 위한 기준을 제시하였다.

Spalling must be considered when designing high-strength concrete to cope with fire. This study investigates the temperature rise of steel bar in high-strength concrete coated with fireproof mortar using gypsum exposed to fire. It was found that fireproof mortar using gypsum is more effective in constraining the temperature rise of steel bar in the high strength concrete than fireproof mortar using cement, and that the thinner the cover depth of the fireproof mortar, the more significant the influence of the gypsum. In addition, while there was no difference between ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate mortar and ${\beta}$-hemihydrate mortar on the temperature rise of steel bar, the compressive strength of ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate mortar is higher than that of ${\beta}$-hemihydrate mortar.

Recently, large scale concrete structures exposed to severe environments are increasingly built in various locations, The corrosion may severely affect the durability and service life of such a concrete structure. It is, therefore, necessary to develop a method to enhance the corrosion resistance of a concrete, The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to investigate the corrosion resistance and bond strength characteristics of anti-corrosive cement coated reinforcements. To this end, a comprehensive experimental study has been done to explore the corrosion and bond behavior of those coated reinforcements. The test results indicate that the anti-corrosive cement coated reinforcements do not exhibit any corrosion after corrosion tests and the bond strengths are very good as much as plain bar. It is seen that the anti-corrosive cement coated reinforcements can be efficiently used to enhance the durability of reinforced concrete structures.

This study investigated the bond characteristics of embedded deformed steel bar in donut type biaxial hollow slabs. The donut type hollow sphere make concrete inner cover formed between steel bar and hollow sphere due to the hollow shape and arrangement. Generally, inner cover was thinner than outer cover, and some part of donut type biaxial hollow slab has smaller inner cover thickness than $2.5d_b$. It was affected to the bond condition of deformed bar. Furthermore, inner cover thickness changes along the longitudinal deformed bar due to hollow shape. Therefore, donut type hollow slab was divided 3 regions according to the hollow shape such as insufficient region, transition region, sufficient region. Pull-out test were performed to find out the effect of bond condition by the region. Main parameters are inner cover thickness, embedded length and bond location. Bond characteristics of donut type biaxial hollow slab were confirmed through comparison of bond stress-slip relationship, maximum bond strength and bond stress distribution of each regions. And the calculation method of bond strength of donut type biaxial hollow slab was suggested based on the test results.

국내외적으로 철근부식에 영향을 받아 콘크리트가 변하는 특성을 실험적으로 연구한 논문이 많이 발표되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이들 기존 연구에서 시행된 부식촉진방법, 주로 전기적인 방법을 다양한 실험을 통하여 최적방법을 찾고자 하는데 있다. 기존의 연구 중에는 "전위차 부식촉진법을 이용한 철근 콘크리트의 내부식성 예측을 위한 새로운 기법 연구"에서는 20V 직류전원장치를 NaCl용액에 직류회로를 구성한 후 양극과 음극의 전위차를 이용 전류량을 측정한 방법이 있었으며, 철근부식을 일으키는 많은 원인은 염소이온에 의한 것이다. 철근의 부식반응은 전기화학적 반응이다. 부식콘크리크 실험에 많이 이용하고 있는 자연전위법, 분극저항법, 콘크리트저항법들이 있다.(중략)

In order to improve the shear strength of conventional pre-tensioned spun high strength concrete (PHC) pile, concrete-infilled composite PHC (ICP) pile, a PHC pile reinforced by means of shear reinforcement and infilled concrete, is proposed. Two types of specimens were cast and tested according to KS (Korean Standards) to verify the shear strength enhancement of ICP pile. Based on the test results, it was found that the KS method was not suitable due to causing shear failure of ICP pile. However, shear strength enhancement was clearly verified. The obtained shear strength of the ICP pile was more than twice that of conventional PHC pile. In addition, the shear strength of ICP pile reinforced with longitudinal reinforcement was estimated to be more than 2.5 times greater than that of conventional PHC pile. The allowable shear force of ICP pile, which was determined by the allowable stress design process, indicated a large safety factor of more than 2.9 compared to the test results.

Epoxy coated bars protecting reinforcing bars from corrosion and enhancing durability of reinforced concrete structures are tested to evaluate corrosion protection properties. Tests are performed based on the relevant sta.ndards of KS and ASTM, such as chenical resistance, salt water spray, salt crock test and chloride ermeability test. with the main varlable of the coating thlckness. Test results show good chemical protection property and chloride permeability. The results of the salt water spray and the salt crock test show that epoxy coating well protects the reinforcing bars from corrosion, cornparing to the biack bars without epoxy coatmg. However, several spots on the coated bars are rusted at the pinholes or un the bars with coating thickness less thar $200{\mu}M$. Special cautions are required i n the process of blast cleanmg when applying the usion-bonded epoxy coating.

The present study emphasizes a nonlinear model to predict the shear behaviour of reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints. To model the shear behaviour of a panel zone in the beam-column joint, a modified softened truss model theory for in-plane shear prediction was introduced. This relationship was changed to define the characteristics for the rotational spring to represent the shear deformation in the joint by an equivalent moment-rotation relationship from the joint equilibrium. The analysis model was compared with experiments on reinforced concrete interior beam-column joints that were subjected to axial and shear forces, and the current model was found to accurately predict not only the shear force but also the shear deformation in the joint.

해양콘크리트 구조물의 내구성에 가장 큰 영향은 미치는 요인 중의 하나가 염소 이온의 침투에 의한 철근부식이다. 염소이온이 콘크리트 구조물 내부로 확산되어 철근이 부식하게 되면 철근의 부피팽창으로 콘크리트 덮개에 균열이 발생하고 철근의 단면적도 줄어들게 된다. 따라서, 구조물은 사용연한을 채우지 못 하고 붕괴되거나 사용성에 큰 문제가 발생하게 된다. (중략)
