The low-durability performance of concrete structure occurs by interactive deterioration factors. In particular, carbonation increased with its time elapse is known as the general manner of deterioration characteristics. Recently, the fundamental researches of the carbonation mechanism, besides method and technique for durability improvement of deteriorated structure are advanced actively. So in this paper, alkali-recovery and maintenance performance when the impregnating alkalization agents are used, are compared and examined quantitively with the basis of past proposed study. As a result, alkali-recovery performance be ensured by impregnating alkalization agent on the carbonated concrete which has low pH by accelerated carbonation test. And alkali maintenance performance was effected by the finishing materials on the alkali recovered concrete.

The most common deteriorating processes of concrete structures are carbonation and chloride ion ingress. Many concrete structures have been suffered from chloride ions diffusion or carbonation induced reinforcement corrosion damage and many studies have been done on it. However, those studies were confined mostly to the single deterioration of carbonation or chloride attack only, although actual environment is rather of combined conditions. In case of many in-situ concrete structures, deterioration happened more for the case of combined attack than the single case of carbonation or chloride attack. In this paper, chloride profiles of carbonated concrete is predicted by considering two layer composite model, which is based on Fick's 2nd law. From the experimental result on combined deterioration of chloride and carbonation, it was examined that high chloride concentration was built up to 3∼5 mm over depth from carbonation depth. The analytical modeling of chloride diffusion was suggested to depict the relative influence of the carbonation depth. The diffusion coefficients of carbonation concrete and uncarbonated concrete with elapsed time were considered in this modeling.

Hardened concrete contains pores of varying types and sizes, and therefore the transport of air through concrete can be considered. The rate of permeability will not only depends on the continuity of pores, but also on the moisture contents in concrete and finishing material on concrete. Also it knows that the durability of reinforced concrete structure is concerned with air permeability which effects on the carbonation occurred by invasion of CO2 gas and the corrosion of steel bar occurred by O$_2$. In this paper, the effects of curing conditions and finishing materials on carbonation and air permeability are investigated according to the accelerated carbonation test. As results, carbonation velocity and air permeability are effected by curing conditions and finishing materials, and air permeability coefficient is effected by moisture content. Also the relationship between carbonation velocity coefficients and air permeability coefficients has been quite well established.

The most common deterioration cause of concrete structures in urban environment is carbonation. Recently, the $CO_2$ concentration and temperature at atmosphere is sharply increased with time due to global warming phenomena. In this study, the climate scenario IS92a, which was suggested by the IPCC, is used to consider temperature and atmospheric $CO_2$ concentration change in the model of service life prediction. The modified mathematical solution, which was based on the Fick's 1st law of diffusion, was used to reflect concrete materials properties such as the degree of hydration of concrete with elapsed time, and important parameters, which associated with deterioration rate. The techniques of service life prediction are developed introducing the method of reliability and stochastic concept to consider microclimatic condition in Seoul, South Korea. From the result of service life prediction, concrete containing high W/C ratio is shown fast carbonation rate due to $CO_2$ concentration increase. It is concluded that the deterioration of concrete structures due to carbonation is insignificant problem on the conditions that below W/C 55%, well curing concrete.

Fire breaking out in carbonated reinforcement concrete structures considerably deteriorates the durability of them by propelling carbonation. However, the research and technical development to recover the durability is still in an underdeveloping stage in Korea. Therefore, this research aims to understanding the deteriorated durability of a carbonated structure, evaluating the performance of an impregnating alkalization agent to recover the durability and developing a way of using it.

다양한 조인트를 갖도록 제작된 콘크리트 실험체내 철근의 부식에 대한 상세한 조사가 이루어졌다. 실험체들은 25년 동안 조수간만대에 노출되었다. 몇몇 실험체들은 25년 후에 가속챔버내에서 보다 가혹한 열화환경에 노출되었다. 실험항목은 부착강도, 중성화깊이, 염분농도, 부식의 전기화학적, 물리적 측정, 그리고 조인트부 생성물이다. 에폭시나 라텍스 페이스트로 처리된 조인트면을 제외하고 조인트면에 자동생성되는 생성물은 콘크리트 내 철근의 부식을 막는다. 철근과 콘크리트 계면에서의 공극은 국부부식의 주원인이다. 조인트 표면의 레이탄스 제거가 조인트면의 중성화 깊이를 줄인다. 레이턴스 제거 후 모르타르 코팅처리가 라텍스 페이스트나 에폭시코팅처리에 비해 가장 작은 중성화 깊이를 보인다. 레이턴스 제거후 에폭시코팅처리는 가장 강한 부착력을 갖지만 절점부 콘크리트 내 철근부식 방지에는 가장 우수한 성능을 보이지 못한다.

The rate of carbonation is usually low in the natural environment due to the low $CO_2$ concentration in the atmosphere. Therefore, investigation of carbonation is usually conducted under accelerated testing conditions so as to speed up the process. This study is to predict carbonation progress by mathematical model, based on the diffusions of $CO_2$ and its reaction with $Ca(OH)_2$ in carbonation progressing region, in the atmosphere. To predict of carbonation progress in the atmosphere, we adopted a diffusion coefficient of $CO_2$ that agreed well the experimental value obtained by the accelerated carbonation test. Consequently the model can predict the rate of carbonation of concrete exposed in the atmosphere regardless of finishing materials.
