The corrosion amounts of steel structures can be different depending on their installation condition and height. Thus, their corrosion maintenance should be considered depending on installation conditions of local structural members. In this study, an atmospheric exposure test was conducted to evaluate the corrosion amount and the corrosion rate depending on the installation condition and height of a steel water gate using monitoring steel plates and corrosion environment measuring sensors. The mean corrosion depth was evaluated using the weight loss method and the galvanic corrosion current was measured by corrosion environment measuring sensors. Local corrosion rate of local structural member in steel water gate was estimated using measured mean corrosion depths and galvanic corrosion currents. From this measurement results, the corrosion damage in horizontal member of the cross beam was highly evaluated than those of other structural member as skin plate, etc. The relative difference in the corrosion rate of a local structural member could be highly affected by local corrosion environments of steel water gate members. Therefore, an appropriate maintenance method should be considered for local corrosion damages of local structural members determined by local corrosion environments of a steel water gate.

The physical effect induced by acoustic cavitation was investigated to accumulate basic data for the design of ultrasonic soil washing processes using aluminum foil erosion tests. A square aluminum foil was placed on the glass beads in the pyrex vessel submerged in the sonoreactor equipped with a 36 kHz ultrasound transducer module at the bottom. Cavitational erosion of foils was quantitatively analyzed for various glass bead diameter conditions (1, 2, and 4 mm), glass bead height conditions (5, 10, 15, and 20 mm), and water height conditions (5, 10, 15, and 20 mm). It was found that aluminum foil erosion significantly increased as the glass bead diameter increased and water height over the glass bead increased due to less attenuation of ultrasound and the optimization of sound field for cavitation. Moreover mechanical mixing was suggested to move constantly particles to the bottom area where the acoustic cavitation occurs most violently. It was because aluminium foil erosion by ultrasound transmitted through glass beads was relatively too weak.

OPR-1000 CE Steam Generator, of which tube material is composed of Alloy-600 HTMA in nuclear power plant, secondary side is generated ODSCC(Outside Diameter Stress Corrosion Cracking) due to the accumulated sludge. ODSCC is centered around the tube sheet and is being affected depending on the height of the sludge. Chemical cleaning was carried out for a top-of-the-tube sheet(TTS) of Steam Generator in order to decrease corrosive condition of the secondary side of Steam Generator tubes and suppress the occurrence of stress corrosion cracking. The amount of sludge removal was 259.2kg. The height of the accumulated sludge was reduced from 0.71 to 0.34 inches. Corrosion rate as the maximum 2.34 mils was satisfied to within EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) recommendation(10 mils).

The most typical deterioration of steel structures is corrosion damage. However, a method to evaluate residual load-carrying capacity of corroded steel structures is not yet established. It is difficult to check current serviceability and safety of the structures. In this study, compressive tests and finite element analyses were conducted on H-beams with corroded web. Then, the effect of corrosion damage on web crippling strength and evaluation methods of the web crippling strength are studied. Based on the tests, 4 H-beam specimens used in a subway construction site and 9 H-beam specimens with different web-thickness and damaged-height underwent compression-tests. To consider loading and supporting areas in the site, compressive loading was applied in the entire region of the upper and bottom flange in 5 H-beam specimens and applied partially on the regions of the upper and bottom flange in 8 specimens. The finite element analysis of 38 parametric model specimens simulating different corrosion damages was also carried out. From experimental and analytical results, the relationships between corrosion damages in the web and residual web crippling strength are presented. Factors web crippling strength was reduced are formulated by using residual average thickness and the standard deviation of the corroded web thickness. Also, a simple evaluation method of residual web crippling strength was proposed.

Corrosion of steel embedded in concrete is one of the foremost factors that affect the durability of concrete structures in marine environments. This paper presents an application technique of anode-ladder-system to evaluate corrosion behaviours of marine concrete structure. In order to investigate the behaviours quantitatively, the measurement of potential and current was performed on the concrete elements subjected to the penetration and diffusion of chloride ions. The main variable was the heights from seawater level; namely 3.7, 6.0 and 8.2 m. As a result of the monitoring, it was found that the corrosion characteristics differently behaved with the increasing height. Additionally, through migration test, the relationship between compressive strength of concrete and diffusivity of chloride ions was observed. It is suggested, ultimately, that in order to reduce or mitigate steel corrosion, both appropriate concrete cover depth and high-quality of concrete in early ages should be done.

Grout in duct is very effective protection from tendon corrosion in PSC(Prestressed Concrete) structure. In the work, durability and mechanical tests are performed for two types of grout which are conventionally used one and the improved grout with reduced w/c (water to cement) ratio and silica fume. Tendon system with 1000mm height is prepared and various tests including strength, flow, absorption, and bleeding ratio are conducted. ICM(Impressed Current Method) is adopted for corrosion acceleration in tendon with 12.7mm diameter inside grout. For 2 and 4 days, corrosion acceleration is performed for 2 different type of grout and corrosion amount is investigated. The improved grout shows higher compressive strength by 10 MPa and lower absorption ratio by 50% than the conventional one. It also provides an excellent corrosion reduction to 39.8 %~48.2 % for 2~4 days of acceleration period.

The sea of the Korean peninsula has undergone various marine changes, including naval vessels, naval operational aircrafts, air force fighters, coastal airports and airfields. In particular, salt directly affected by the marine environment, equipment operating under a high temperature / high speed as the gas turbine is the high temperature corrosion (Hot Corrosion) caused by sulfur components and salinity of the fuel used. When the height of the demister (air intake) is less than 7 m, the salinity of the salt entering the sea increases and the corrosion increases rapidly. In addition, the weapon systems operating in the East Sea than in the West Sea showed a 17% increase in the corrosion rate due to the relatively high salinity scattered by saline, wind, and wave. In order to minimize the salinity inflow, it should be operated at more than 13 m from the sea to minimize rapid hot corrosion.

전기 아연도금은 철강의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 희생양극으로 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 아연 도금층의 내식성은 그 아연에 의하여 부식으로부터 보호받는 철강 소재의 수명과 직결됨에 따라 아연 도금층의 성능 특히 부식저항성을 높이는 연구는 소재 수명 뿐만이라 성능의 유지하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기 아연 도금층에 표면에너지가 낮은 물질인 테플론을 얇게 코팅함으로써 발수성 표면을 구현하였다. 발수성 표면은 물에 대한 젖음성이 매우 낮기 때문에 부식 저항성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이는 표면의 거칠기를 제어함으로써 그 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 특히 전기 아연 도금의 후처리로 알려진 인산염 처리를 이용하여 전기 아연 도금층의 표면형상 구조를 제어하였다. 그리고 그 표면에 테플론을 코팅함으로써 초발수 성질을 구현하였고, 이를 통해 아연 도금층의 내식성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 인산염처리에 의하여 표면형상의 구조가 거칠어질수록 테플론 코팅 후 접촉각과 물방울의 이동성은 증가하였다. 이는 표면형상에 의해서 공기층이 물방울 아래에 고립되어 있다는 것을 의미하고, 이러한 공기층으로 인하여 아연 도금층의 내식성은 크게 증가하였다.
