화재에 대한 안전성 확보는 ECC 등과 같은 신소재를 실제 구조물에 적용 또는 실용화하기 위해 필요한 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 본 논문은 터널구조물에 대한 내화대책의 일환으로써 ECC의 적용가능성을 평가하고자 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위하여 터널구조물의 화재 온도조건인 RABT 화재온도이력곡선을 적용하여 내화성능을 실험적으로 평가하였다. 또한 비정상 온도분포해석 기법을 이용하여 이를 해석적으로 묘사 검증하였으며, 실험결과를 통해 검증된 해석기법을 이용하여 터널라이닝에 대한 열전달 해석을 수행하여 ECC의 적용가능성을 고찰하였다. 실험결과 ECC는 폭렬 및 화재상태에서의 모체콘크리트에 열화가 발생하지 않았으며, 기존 콘크리트 및 내화소재와의 상대 비교에 있어서도 가장 우수한 내화성능을 나타냈다. 이를 통하여 터널구조물의 내화대책에 있어 ECC 소재가 적용가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었다.

댐의 중요 구성요소 중 하나인 여수로 구조물은 관행적으로 단위길이당 100m³/s 정도의 유량이 흐를 수 있도록 설계를 하고, 이를 초과할 때는 여수로 구조물에 피해가 가지 않도록 공기혼입 장치를 설치하거나 콘크리트의 설계강도를 증가시키는 대책을 사용하는 것이 일반적이다(댐설계 기준·해설, 2011) 그러나 건설된 지 오래된 댐의 경우 여수로 콘크리트 구조물의 설계강도가 낮고(최저 16.7MPa) 수문방류 횟수가 많아 최근에 건설된 댐 여수로 보다 상대적으로 많은 손상이 발생되어 있어 잦은 보수보강이 요구되고, 점차 유지관리 비용이 증대되고 있어 노후된 여수로 구조물일수록 기능을 유지하면서도 유지관리 비용을 절감할 수 있는 방안의 수립이 요구되고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 𐩒𐩒𐩒댐 여수로를 대상으로 2020년 홍수기 전·후의 여수로 바닥슬래브의 손상상태를 3D드론 매핑, 육안조사 및 내구성 조사결과 등을 이용한 정밀분석을 통해 수문방류시 여수로 바닥슬래브에 가장 큰 손상을 일으키는 손상메커니즘으로 유수에 의한 부상(uplift)에 의한 파손 메커니즘(Flow-driven uplift failure mechanism)을 제시하였으며, 여수로 바닥슬래브의 가장 일반적 손상원인으로 간주되고 있는 공동현상(cavitation)이 공동지수(cavitation index)가 0.3이상인 경우에도 발생할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 관찰 및 분석결과는 보다 많은 사례를 통하여 보완될 경우 향후 여수로 구조물의 설계 뿐만 아니라 보수보강 방법이나 유지관리, 더나아가서는 종합적 댐시설물 자산관리 계획을 수립하는데 매우 유용한 자산이 될 수 있다.

This paper describes an attempt to develop a practical method for the measurement of dead load stress in existing concrete bridges. In most cases, the dead load stress was determined by various theoretical calculations. However, the theoretical calculation cannot always provide a sufficient information on the current stress state due to lots of uncertainty. The key idea incorporated with this paper is the partial sectioning method which is able to estimate current stress state in concrete bridges subjected to dead load. The proposed method is applied to the safety assessment of actual concrete bridges and the applicability of this system is investigated.

Sedimentary rocks from construction waste are discarded through open storage and landfilling, which causes an increase in construction cost and inefficient of execution of works. Some sandstone are selected and utilized as aggregates, but shale is buried as industrial waste. Therefore, in this research, we evaluated weathering properties of shale aggregate that is widely distributed throughout Daegu-Kyeongbuk region and freeze-thaw characteristics of concrete according to the replacement ratio of shale aggregate, in an effort to stabilize aggregate supply-demand in Daegu-Kyeongbuk region and develop alternative aggregates. We used red shale and black shale in the experiment, which were exported from a construction site in Deagu. We verified the usage of shale as a concrete aggregate by comparing andesite, which is broadly used as a thick aggregate for concrete, to hornfels, which is a metamorphic sedimentary rock. As a result of the experiment, we observed no degradation phenomenon for andesite and hornfels. However, a part of country rock containing black shale was found to be exfoliated. Red shale started having cracks in the direction of stratification after 1.5 months of direct exposure, and it broke into smaller pieces after approximately 4 months. After 300 cycles of freeze-thaw process on the concrete manufactured according to the replacement ratio of shale aggregate, the modulus of elasticity was 97% for plain and 95% for hornfels. In the case of RS_100, it was 57% after 210 cycles, and for BS_100, it was 54% after 240 cycles. Therefore, we established that, as the number of repetition increases, the freeze-thaw resistance decreases dramatically.

The major cause of deterioration for the concrete bridge decks exposed to de-icing chemicals would be chloride-induced reinforcement corrosion. Thus, in this paper, in order to predict time to corrosion for concrete bridge decks in the urban area, chloride concentration was measured with depth from the surface. A frequency analysis on surface chloride concentration and chloride diffusion coefficient of concrete bridge deck equals 0.192, 29.828 in the scale parameter and 7.899, 1.983 in the shape parameter of gamma distribution. The average value of surface chloride concentration equals 1.5 kg/㎥ and condenses from 1 to 2 kg/㎥ in the level of probability 70%. From the probabilistic results, it is confirmed that 26mm of minimum cover depth in order to target 20 years over is calculated. The countermeasure strategy to extend the service life of concrete bridge deck exposed to de-icing chemicals would be an effective method to increase cover depth and to place high performance concrete, which could lead to reduce the chloride diffusion coefficient and distribution range.

The purpose of this study was to assess the durability of high-strength concrete with high volume mineral admixture (HVMAC) derived from previous studies within ternary blended concrete (TBC) and normal concrete (NC). Four durability evaluation types such as chloride penetration resistance, freezing and thawing resistance, carbonation resistance in two pre-treatment conditions, and sulfuric acid and sulfate resistance using 5% sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$), 10% sodium sulfate ($Na_2SO_4$), and 10% magnesium sulfate ($MgSO_4$) solution were selected and performed in this study. HVMAC showed the excellent chloride penetration resistance in any age and the freezing and thawing durability close to 100%. In addition, HVMAC affected more reduction in carbonation resistance than TBC. When the curing time was increased, to create a concrete internal organization densely improved resistance to carbonation. HVMAC also showed the most superior in sulfuric acid and sulfate resistance. As the reduction of calcium hydroxide and $C_3A$ to apply a large amount of admixture reduced the swelling and cracking of concrete, the strength reduction and mass change of concrete was found to be small indicated.

In case of the cracks in concrete, the penetration of deterioration ions such as chloride ions in to cracks is accelerated. According to the penetration of chloride ions, structural and durability problems to RC(Reinforced Concrete) structures are caused. In this study, the accelerated chloride diffusion coefficient which is in steady state is evaluated for 2 year aged normal and high strength FA(Fly Ash) concrete, after a range of crack depths are induced up to 1.0 mm in 56 aged day. Considering crack effect by linear regression analysis, high strength concrete has slightly less increasing ratio of diffusion coefficient by crack than normal strength concrete, and diffusion coefficient increases non-linearly as crack width is increased. Also, In two types of concrete, crack effect decrease as the curing period increase. In the case of quantifying crack and curing effect by using exponential function form, the coefficients of determination are higher than those of linear regression analysis. Under steady state, it is thought that there is not a high correlation between the crack effect and the curing effect, and considering the two independent effects, it is believed that reasonable prediction equation for diffusion of concrete with crack can be proposed.

Leakage due to deterioration and damage is one of the major causes of volume change by freezing and thawing, and it leads micro-cracking and surface scaling in concrete structures. The deterioration of damaged concrete accelerates with the chloride attack. Thus, in the detailed guidelines for facility performance evaluation (2020), the quality of cover concrete and the freeze-thaw (FT) repetition cycle were newly suggested for concrete durability assessment. The quality of cover concrete should be evaluated by the rebound hammer test and the FT repetition cycle should be also considered in the deterioration environmental assessment. This study suggested the application of fast dynamic based nonlinear ultrasound method to monitor initial micro-scale damage under freezing and thawing environment. Concrete specimens were fabricated with different water-cement ratios (40%, 60%) and air contents (1.5% and 3.0%). The compressive strength, rebound number, relative dynamic modulus, and nonlinear ultrasound were measured with different FT cycles. The scanning electron microscopy was also performed to investigate the micro-scale FT damage. As a result, both the rebound number and the relative dynamic modulus had difficulty to detect early damage but the proposed method showed a potential to detect initial micro-scale damage and predict the FT resistance performance of concrete.

The maintenance cost for road pavement is gradually increasing due to the continuous increase in road extension as well as increase in the number of old routes that have passed the public period. As a result, there is a need for a method of minimizing costs through preventative grievance preventive maintenance requires the establishment of a strategic plan through accurate prediction of road pavement. Hence, In this study, the deep neural network(DNN) and the recurrent neural network(RNN) were used in order to develop the expressway pavement damage prediction model. A superior model among these two network models was then suggested by comparing and analyzing their performance. In order to solve the RNN's vanishing gradient problem, the LSTM (Long short-term memory) circuits which are a more complicated form of the RNN structure were used. The learning result showed that the RMSE value of the RNN-LSTM model was 0.102 which was lower than the RMSE value of the DNN model, indicating that the performance of the RNN-LSTM model was superior. In addition, high accuracy of the RNN-LSTM model was verified through the comparison between the estimated average road pavement condition and the actually measured road pavement condition of the target section over time.

The degradation of the concrete due to deterioration factors, such as corrosion of steel bars, cracks and structural strength of reinforced concrete structures, is a social problem. Especially, concrete structures constructed in seawater, underground water, waste water treatment facilities and sewerage are subject to chemical attack by acid and sulphate. Therefore, this study was conducted to compare sulfated glass and fine aggregate of slag using waste glass fine powder and meta kaolin. The results showed that the slag fine aggregate showed better sulfate resistance than the river sand, and the fine powder of waste glass showed the best performance at 3 % displacement.
