Steel corrosion due to carbonation in RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures easily occurs in urban cities with high CO₂ concentration. RC structures are always subjected to external loading with various boundary conditions. The induced stress level causes changes in diffusion of harmful ion like CO₂. In this work, a quantification of carbonation progress with stress level is carried out and carbonation prediction is derived through the relations. Determining the design parameters like cover depth, CO₂ diffusion coefficient, carbonatable materials, and exterior CO₂ concentration as random variables, service lifes under carbonation with design parameter's variation are obtained through MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation). Additionally the service life with different stress level is derived and the results are compared with those from deterministic method. Cover depth and cement hydrates are evaluated to be very effective to resist carbonation, and the proposed method which can consider the effect of stress on service life can be applied to maintenance priority determination.

최근 들어 내수용 및 수출용 자동차 보증 제도를 살펴보면 부품에 대한 방식 보증기간이 점차 연장되는 추세이며, 이에 따라 자동차사에서 요구하는 방식 및 내식성 평가 기준이 상향되어 가고 있다. 실제로 수출차에 대한 방청 품질 보증기간이 차체 구멍 발청 10년에서 12년으로 연장할 움직임을 보이는 등 점차 방식에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 따라서 내식성 향상에 대한 끊임없는 연구가 지속적으로 이루어지고 있으며, 내식성 향상을 위해 구조/형상 변화, 도장 품질 향상, 최적화 설계 등 다방면에서 노력을 기울이고 있다. 그 중에서도 가장 근본적인 해결책인 소재의 내식성 향상에 대한 관심은 날로 높아지고 있는 실정이다. 특히 일본 등지에서는 GA 도금재의 사용이 증가하고 있으나, 아직은 내식성에 대한 효율적이고 체계적인 관리가 부족한 면이 있다. GA재는 합금화 과정에서 야기되는 Fe% 합금화도, 합금화 상분율(감마, 델타, 제타상), crater 등 복잡한 소재의 특성으로 인해 소재의 내식성 분석에 고려할 사항이 많다. 실제 여러 실험들을 통해서 GA재가 내식성에 영향이 있는 인자들에 대해 많은 연구가 진행되었지만 명확히 정량화되어 있지 않은 관계로 GA재의 내식성 관리 기준에 대해서도 명확하진 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 당사재와 타사재의 고강도 GA재 (>440 MPa) 11종에 대해 crater분율, zeta상, 합금화도, 도금량 등의 다양한 도금 물성들을 조사하였다. 또한 이 시편들을 34일 동안의 복합염수 분무법(CCT)을 통해 얻은 최대 및 평균 블리스터 폭과 소재 표면품질 물성과의 상관관계를 통해서 부식과 연관된 관련인자들을 도출하고 정량적인 관계를 살펴보았다. GA재의 경우 다양한 물성들 중에서 도금 크레이터, 제타상, 합금화도 순으로 내식성에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인이 되었으며 이 세 인자들을 내식성 평가 지수화하여 GA재 생산시 효율적인 관리범위를 지정하는데 이용 가능할 수 있도록 diagram을 도출하였다. 따라서, 본 연구를 통하여 자동차사에서 요구하는 내식성 기준을 만족하기 위한 내식성 상관 인자들의 관리 수준을 정량화함으로써 보다 우수한 소재의 관리를 할 수 있도록 하고자 한다.

A number of thin-film deposition technologies have been developed. However, even a thin film whose properties are excellent may not be used as long as the adhesion strength between the thin film and the substrate is poor. For thin films, the adhesion strength is as important as the properties. In the present article, relation between interface structure and thin film adhesion, and factors affecting thin film adhesion are reviewed. Two kinds of factors, internal factors and external factors, affect thin film adhesion. Such factors as composition, structure, and reactivity of both thin film and substrate as well as surface roughness of the substrate and residual stress of the thin film belong to internal factors. And such factors as load, temperature, humidity, and corrosive environment belong to external factors. It is also reviewed that how we can control the internal factors and the external factors to enhance or keep the adhesion strength.

유출수문곡선은 강우량, 강우강도, 강우지속시간, 강우이동방향 및 이동속도와 같은 강우발생특성과 강수대의 공간적 이류방향과 유역형상과의 상호작용에 의하여 영향을 받으며, 특히 강우의 이류과정에서 나타나는 시간적, 공간적인 분포는 유출에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자이다. 일반적으로 유출해석 기본이론은 연속방정식과 운동방정식으로서 운동파가정(kinematic wave analogy)을 기반으로 한 집중수문모형(lumped hydrologic model)에 의하여 수행되고 있지만 집중형 모형은 한 매개변수에 여러 가지의 물리적 과정을 개념화하여 담고 있기 때문에 유출과정에 대한 섬세한 모형화의 제약으로 인하여 강우의 이류과정에 따른 유출변화특성을 모의하기가 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 완전 분포형 수문동력학적 강우-유출 모형을 사용하여 강우의 이류특성을 반영할 수 있는 유출 모델을 구성하고, 강우의 이류특성에 따른 유역 출구에서의 유출수문곡선의 변화과정을 살펴보고 상관관계를 분석하였다.

The corrosion of steel in concrete is significant in marine environment. Marine bridges are readily deteriorated due to the exposure to marine environment. Salt damage is one of the most detrimental causes to concrete bridges and port structures. Especially, the splash and tidal zones around water line are comparatively important in terms of safety and life-time point of view. During the last several decades, cathodic protection (cp) has been commonly accepted as an effective technique for corrosion control in concrete structures. Zn-mesh sacrificial anode has been recently developed and started to apply to the bridge column cp in marine condition. The detailed parameters regarding Zn-mesh cp technique, however, have not well understood. This study is to investigate how much Zn-mesh cp influences along the concrete column at elevated temperature. About 100cm column specimens with eight of 10cm segment rebars have been used to measure the variation of cp potential with the distance from Zn-mesh anode at both 10$^{\circ}$C and 40$^{\circ}$C in natural seawater. The cp potential change and current diminishment along the column specimens have been discussed for the optimum design of cp by Zn-mesh sacrificial anode

This paper investigates fretting wear damage in aerospace, biomedical, and nuclear components. Experimental parameters are identified that affect fretting wear damage. The parameters observed in industries are directly compared. The magnitudes of frequency, relative displacement, and normal force are found to differ depending on the contacting components where fretting wear occurs. In addition, recent solutions to minimize fretting wear damage are reviewed. The solutions include depositing of a low-friction coating, surface treatment, selection of substrate material, and optimal design of contact geometries. This comparative study suggests useful methods and solutions for analyzing fretting wear damage and for designing tribo-components.

An investigation into the detailed safety diagnosis report indicates that domestic highway bridges mainly suffer from defects, deterioration, and damage due to physical forces. In particular, deterioration is an inevitable damage that occurs due to various environmental and external factors over time. In particular, bridge deck is very vulnerable to cracks, which occur along with various types of damages such as rebar corrosion and surface delamination. Thus, this study evaluates a correlation between heterogeneous damage and deterioration environment and then identifies the main causes of such heterogeneous damage. After all, a bridge heterogeneous damage prediction model was developed using random forests to determine the top five factors contributing to the occurrence of the heterogeneous damage. The results of the study would serve as a basic data for estimating bridge maintenance and budget.

The social trouble to the durability of concrete rises recently because the embedded rebar corrosion influences concrete structures to deteriorate structural capacity. And also, the rebar corrosion causes crack of concrete, decrease of steel section and separation of covering concrete. In the result, the bond strength of concrete and embedded rebar decreases, which causes deterioration of the structure behavior in reinforced concrete. In this study, the relation of bond strength and bond-slip was understood to evaluate capacity deterioration of reinforced concrete, and experiments were carried out by compressive strength and embedded rebar condition in the rebar corrosion rate.

In this study we measured oxidation potentials and current densities for poly(vinylcholride) (PVC) and poly(carbonate)(PC) in nonaqueous solutions, in order to find out how corrosion (oxidation) potentials depend on temperature, pH, enzyme, or added salts. The Tafel's slopes were determined from the Tafel plots of polarization curves. The transfer coefficients (${\alpha}$) wre evaluated from the slope(1-${\alpha}$)nF/2.3 RT, and the electrode reactions appeared irreversible under all conditions.

The major influence factor on chloride penetration into concrete structures is chloride ion concentration. In this study, chloride penetration analyses with chloride ion concentration were carried out by the developed program. Also, the service life of concrete structures was predicted. The penetration depth was 32mm in case that chloride ion concentration wad 600ppm. It was shown that the service life of concrete structures with 40mm cover depth was 167 years even though they had been exposed at chloride ion concentration 600ppm during 100 years.
