Concrete containing lightly burnt MgO has long term expansibility. It also could compensate for the thermal shrinkage of mass concrete, because the hydration of MgO proceeds at a slow pace to long-term age. Thus, lightly burnt MgO has been applied to the construction of mass concrete such as dams. Recently, the expansion characteristics of MgO concrete with fly ash that could be applied to mass concrete for the reduction of hydration heat have been studied and however, limited studies on its durability. This study investigates the long-term durability characteristics of fly ash concrete with lightly burnt MgO. The durability tests on carbonation, freezing-thawing, diffusion of chloride, and resistance to sulfate attack were carried out for MgO concrete with curing for 360 days in submerged condition with different temperature of 20 and $50^{\circ}C$. The results reveal that MgO concrete shows a greater resistance of carbonation, diffusion of chloride, and resistance to sulfate attack. On the other hand the resistance of freezing-thawing was little influenced by MgO powder.

The concrete structure's durability and integrity is reduced owing to various deterioration phenomena. Therefore, it is important to prevent the deterioration phenomena. This study inquired into the various experimental results of specimens with different dilution concentration and impregnation time by the each solution to present the economic and efficient using method of the inorganic surface penetration agents. As a results, the reasonable dilution concentration and impregnation time of colloidal silica solutions are 15% and 5 minute and for the sodium alumina silicate solutions are 17% and 10 second.

At present, waterproof is absolutely needed to minimize the carbonation of bridge decks in Kor ea. In this research indoor experiments for penetrative waterproof admixture out of available methods are carried out to evaluate the resisting characteristics against natural arid artificial car bona ting conditions. The test results show that the optimal time of waterproof is 14 days after the concrete construc. tion but reconsideration is necessary for the application to high strength concrete because of the reduction in penetration of waterproof admixture. The results also show that the penetrat ive waterproof admixture has srrong resistance to the acid rain. However the waterproof capability of the admixture is not permanent especially under the natural exposure. Therefore the slab of a bridge should be paved with asphalt concrete. Other noticeable effects are the increase of heat and abrasion resistances from the use of the waterproof agents.

This study experimented to evaluate the environment friendly high performance ternary cement concrete deck overlay pavement using mineral admixture such as fly ash and ground granulated blast-furnace slag. It was measured to find best binder mixing according to replacement rate of mineral admixture with compressive strength and flexural strength. After finding best binder, it is also experimented to evaluate durability on chloride penetration resistance, freezing- thawing resistance, scaling resistance of deicing chemicals, abrasion resistance, alkali-silica reactivity test and bonded environment friendly high performance ternary cement concrete deck overlay pavement experimented to evaluate bonded old deck and new concrete overlay pavement using special polymer cement mortar. In additions, bonded environment friendly high performance ternary cement concrete deck overlay pavement by experimental construction was evaluated at interchange bridge of North Yeoju. Result, examination was indicated better binding with binder replacement of cement 70%, ground granulated blast-furnace slag 15% and fly ash 15%. And special polymer cement mortar used in old deck and new overlay concrete was indicated better bonding both laboratory and construction.

The main purpose of this study is to apply spatial analysis using semivariograms to small-loop electromagnetic survey data to assess the extent of seawater intrusion in an experimental watershed. To indicate the extent of seawater intrusion over the study area, vertical electrical soundings at 33 points and electrical conductivity logging in two wells were conducted. From the correlation between resistivities obtained by inversion and the depth of the aquifer at the two wells, the region of seawater intrusion was identified and demonstrated by electrical conductivity logging results obtained over two years. To measure the variation of apparent conductivity with depth, an electromagnetic survey in six frequency bands was adopted. Apparent conductivity mapping with spatial analysis using semivariograms is an effective technique for identifying the region of seawater intrusion at shallow depth.

Concrete structures are commonly exposed to freezing-thawing condition. This freezing-thawing action changes the pore structure of concrete, and it can reduce the durability of concrete. In this study, the change of the internal pore structure and durability of concrete due to freezing-thawing action are investigated. According to results, the excellent durability records were reported by the existing evaluation methods for all mixes. However, the pores, 50~100nm size in diameter, are increased in concrete specimens exposed to freezing-thawing action, and the chloride penetration resistance was significantly reduced. The linear relationship between pore structure and chloride penetration resistance was shown in water cured concrete. Meanwhile, the linear relationship was decreased when concrete is exposed to freezing-thawing condition. It is desirable to review the criterion of durability evaluation for concrete specimens exposed to freezing-fthawing and chloride attack condition, simultaneously.

Chloride ion inside concrete destroys the so-called passive film surrounding reinforcing bars inside concrete so that the so-called salt attack accelerates corrosion which is the most critical factor for durability as well as structural safety of reinforced concrete structures. Recently, as a solution of the salt attack, the ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBFS) have been used as binder or blended cement more extensively. In this paper, characteristics of chloride ion diffusion for the GGBFS concrete, which is known to possess better resistance to damage due to the chloride ion penetration than ordinary portland cement(OPC) concrete possesses, are analyzed and a chloride ion diffusion model for the GGBFS concrete is proposed by modifying an existing diffusion model for the OPC concrete. The proposed model is verified by comparing diffusion analysis results using the model accelerated chloride penetration test results for concrete specimens as well as field test results for an RC bridge pier. Then, an optimal resistance condition to chloride penetration for the GGBFS concrete is obtained according to degrees of fineness and replacement ratios of the GGBFS concrete. The result shows that the GGBFS concrete has better resistance to chloride ion penetration than OPC concrete has and the resistance is more affected by the replacement ratio than the degree of fineness of the GGBFS.

Reinforced concrete is a building material that is generally used in modern society. Also, reinforced concrete structures in high salinity environments have low durability due to corrosion of reinforcing bars due to infiltrated chlorine ions. Anion exchange resins have an ability to immobilize chlorine ions in the resin while releasing their anions. As a material, it has already been shown that it is possible to fix the chloride ion inside the cementitious material through the cement mortar experiment. The purpose of this study is to confirm the compressive strength of cement mortar using powdered anion exchange resin after powdering an anion exchange resin. In order to confirm the chloride ion fixation ability of the powder anion exchange resin, chlorine ion penetration resistance test was carried out.

In this study, analyzed the effect of using CGS before and after the pre-treatment process as fine aggregate on the resistance to sulfate attack in concrete. As a result of the analysis, Although it showed a similar tendency to Plain (CS100), it is judged that it is necessary to analyze the resistance to sulfate attack due to the increase in immersion periods such as 180 days and 365 days.
