원전은 고온기능시험 이후 2차계통 내부를 상대습도 40%이하로 관리하여 계통 재질 부식을 최소화하고 있다. 일반적으로 발전소에서는 운전 정지 후 상대습도 40%이하로 낮추는데 15일정도 소요되지만, 발전소 계통 중 일부 곡관부위는 약 60일정도 소요된다. 본 연구는 일부 계통 재료가 상대습도 제한치(<40%) 이상의 환경에서 장기간(최대 60일) 노출시 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향 평가이다. 평가를 위해 시편의 실험 전, 후 무게변화를 이용한 부식률 측정과 표면분석을 위해 광학현미경을 이용하였다. 사용 시편의 재료는 SA516 Gr.70이며 표면상태를 인위적으로 산화피막을 생성 시킨 것(2개)과 산화피막이 없는 것(6개)으로 2종류로 제작하였다. 총 시험기간은 60일이고 시험기간 중 산화피막이 없는 시편은 7일, 21일, 60일에 시편을 2개씩 꺼내어 무게를 측정하여 부식률을 계산하였다. 실험결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 따라 부식률이 각각 0.35(7일), 0.21(21일), 0.67(60일) mpy이었고 산화피막이 있는 시편은 0.06(60일) mpy였다. 산화표면 분석결과, 산화피막이 없는 시편은 노출되는 시간에 관계없이 물방울이 맺힌 부분에 pitting을 확인하였다. 하지만, 산화피막이 있는 시편은 pitting의 흔적은 없었다. 산화피막이 없는 시편의 경우 시간에 따라 부식률은 높아지지만 학계에서 통용되는 뛰어난 내부식성 재료의 부식률 기준인 < 1 mpy이하기 때문에 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 대부분 원전의 경우 고온기능시험 또는 운전기간 동안에 2차계통 구성 재료 표면에 산화막이 생성되었기 때문에 산화피막이 있는 시편의 결과로 판단하면 상대습도 40%이상에 60일 이상 노출되어도 부식은 거의 일어나지 않았을 것으로 사료된다. 실증실험결과를 가지고 종합적으로 평가하면 상대습도 40%이상 환경에서 곡관부위가 60일이상 노출되어도 재료 건전성에 미치는 영향은 거의 없을 것으로 판단된다.

경제성장에 따른 항만구조물의 건설 및 유지관리에 관한 관심이 급격히 고조되고 있다. 이러한 항만구조물은 해양환경에 노출되어 콘크리트에 매입된 철근의 부식을 야기시키는 요인에 접해있다. 한편, 콘크리트 내부의 염분침투는 매입철근의 부식을 가속화시켜 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성에 상당히 큰 피해를 입힐 수 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 여러 가지 방식제를 사용함과 동시에 물/시멘트을 달리한 실험변수를 이용한 시험체에 대한 부식평가 및 매입철근의 적절한 부식방지 기법의 개발에 있다. 해양환경 조건을 simulation한 해수 및 담수 순환장치를 이용한 실내 시험체의 철근 부시도 평가 및 항만현장에 직접 거치된 시험체 등 다양한 조건하의 2년간의 실험이 현재 진행 중에 있다. 40주에 걸쳐 간헐 침투되는 해수조건에서 60개의 콘크리트 시험체의 철근 부시도 평가결과를 기초하여 180여개의 콘크리트 시험체를 새로이 제작하여 Half-Cell Test를 통한 Instant-Off Potential, Current Method를 통한 Corrosion current, Chloride Content 및 시험 종료후 시험체를 파쇄하여 부식된 철근의 무게측정등을 통하여 거동 및 부식을 예측.평가하고 이를 통한 부식방지기법을 개발하고자 한다.

Corrosion inside electronic packages significantly impacts the system performance and reliability, necessitating non-destructive diagnostic techniques for system health management. This study aims to present a non-destructive method for assessing corrosion in copper interconnects using the Smith chart, a tool that integrates the magnitude and phase of complex impedance for visualization. For the experiment, specimens simulating copper transmission lines were subjected to temperature and humidity cycles according to the MIL-STD-810G standard to induce corrosion. The corrosion level of the specimen was quantitatively assessed and labeled based on color changes in the R channel. S-parameters and Smith charts with progressing corrosion stages showed unique patterns corresponding to five levels of corrosion, confirming the effectiveness of the Smith chart as a tool for corrosion assessment. Furthermore, by employing data augmentation, 4,444 Smith charts representing various corrosion levels were obtained, and artificial intelligence models were trained to output the corrosion stages of copper interconnects based on the input Smith charts. Among image classification-specialized CNN and Transformer models, the ConvNeXt model achieved the highest diagnostic performance with an accuracy of 89.4%. When diagnosing the corrosion using the Smith chart, it is possible to perform a non-destructive evaluation using electronic signals. Additionally, by integrating and visualizing signal magnitude and phase information, it is expected to perform an intuitive and noise-robust diagnosis.

The present work is for an evaluation of resistance to corrosion in steel coated with cementitious repair material, so that 3 cases of steel plate(Normal, Welding, Welding & coating case) are subjected to ICM(Impressed Current Method) for acceleration of corrosion for 7days. Tested and estimated corrosion ratio through Faraday's Law are compared, and the related flexural strength are evaluated. In Normal and Welding cases, similar level of corrosion ratio(70%) is evaluated, however only 17% level of corrosion ratio is evaluated in the Welding & coating case, which indicates that cementitious repair material is effective to anti-corrosion due to a block of chloride penetration. The flexural test results are consistent with those in accelerated corrosion test, which shows a significant flexural strength in Welding & coating case by 3.4times greater than the others. The cementitious material repair coating is evaluated to be effective to anti-corrosion in welding of steel plate.

This paper evaluated the structural safety of an aging PSC I-girder bridge with rebar corrosion in the deck. The geometry and rebar of the bridge were designed based on an actual PSC I-girder bridge, and the numerical analysis was performed considering the crack of concrete and yielding of steel rebar. According to the evaluation criteria of Korea Infrastructure Safety and Technology Corporation, this study defined two criteria of rebar exposure and corrosion rates to construct a total of 32 corrosion scenarios. Rebar exposure was defined as the exposure of tensile rebars in the bridge deck due to the removal of cover concrete. The results of the analysis showed that the safety and rating factors of the bridge decreased with increasing rebar exposure and corrosion rates. For the rebar corrosion rate more than 50%, the safety grade of the bridge should be carefully evaluated for all the rebar exposure rate. When the rebar corrosion rate exceeds 57%, the bridge was evaluated as E grade regardless of rebar exposure rate. A correlation analysis for a 2% of rebar exposure rate found that the bridge was evaluated as A grade up to 55.8% corrosion rate, C grade up to 56.9%, D grade up to 58.5%, and E grade for corrosion rate greater than 58.5%. This study indicates the necessity of a quantitative evaluation of rebar corrosion for evaluating the structural safety of aging bridges.

In this study, corrosion resistance of steel in cracked-reinforced concrete was performed according to experimental method. Mixed design is OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF, respectively. Moreover, corrosion resistance test was measured using ultra testing machine for 0.3mm crack induction. The corrosion resistance of blended concrete shows the results following OPC > 10%SF > 30% PFA > 60% GGBS after 60days curing. In case of mass loss test, embedded reinforcement in OPC concrete surveyed the minimum corrosion and appeared better corrosion resistance than blended concrete. As a result, corrosion resistance of sound concrete is higher than cracked concrete. Moreover, corrosion resistance of binary concrete is lower than OPC.

Aging ships can suffer structural damage due to corrosion, fatigue crack etc., and possibility of catastrophic failure of seriously damaged ships is very high. To reduce the risk of loss of ships due to hull collapse, it is essential to evaluate ultimate hull strength of aging ships taking into account various uncertainties associated with structural damages. In this paper, ultimate strength-based reliability analysis of ship structures considering wear of structural members due to corrosion is described. A corrosion rate estimate model for structural members is introduced. An ultimate limit state function of a ship hull is formulated taking into account corrosion effects. The model is applied to an existing oil tanker, and reliability index associated with hull collapse is calculated by using the second-order reliability method (SORM). Discussions on structure safety of corroded ships are made.

Recently, it is really concerned about corrosion and aging of reinforced concrete bridges. Corrosional steel reinforcing in concrete affects not only safety of bridges structure but also bending strength of reinforced concrete's member. Rate of corrosion, characteristic of bending strength, and economical evaluation aren't clear in reinforced concrete, considering performance evaluation. The purpose of study is as follows. It studies about ability of resistance's strength and cost of life cycle according to reduction of steel reinforcing's corrosion. Moreover, it shows calculating formula of bending strength with corrosion of current rate and exactly evaluates about the rest life at corrosional reinforced concrete bridges.

Steel has been widely used as a material in temporary structures. Corrosion attack often reduces the long-term durability of temporary steel members that are not protected from corrosion. In designing temporary steel structures, it is difficult to evaluate their long-term durability, since the thickness loss of steel members is not clear. In this study, laboratory and field exposure corrosion tests were performed on structural steel plate specimens, and the loss of thickness of specimens that were exposed to a subway construction site for 11 months and of specimens that were exposed to environments with controlled humidity and calcium chloride for six months were measured. Finally, a thickness loss equation was formulated based on the environmental conditions and the testing periods.
