PURPOSES: The scaling of a concrete surface caused by the combined effects of frost and de-icing salts is one of the main reasons for the need to repair transportation infrastructures in cold-climate regions. This study describes the results of attempts to determine the scaling resistance of concrete incorporating mineral admixtures such as fly ash, GGBFS, and silica fume, and subjected to the actions of frost and salt. METHODS : Conventionally, to evaluate the fundamental properties of concrete, flexural and compressive strength measurements are regularly performed. Based on the ASTM C 672 standard, concrete is subjected to 2%, 4%, and 8% $CaCl_2$ salt solutions along with repeated sets of 50 freeze/thaw cycles, and the scaling resistance was evaluated based on the mass of the scale and a visual examination. RESULTS : It was observed that silica fume is very effective in enhancing the scaling resistance of concrete. Meanwhile, concrete incorporating GGBFS exhibited poor resistance to scaling, especially in the first ten freeze/thaw cycles. However, fly ash concrete generally exhibited the maximum amount of damage as a result of the frost-salt attack, regardless of the concentrations of the solutions. CONCLUSIONS: It can be concluded that the scaling resistance of concrete is highly dependent on the type of the mineral admixture used in the concrete. Therefore, to provide a durable concrete pavement for use in cold-climate regions, the selection of a suitable binder is essential.

Nowadays, It is openly reported that concrete structures have been attacted by freez and thaw. However, it is not clearly defined how to understand & measure the test method of freez and thaw of concrete structures. Thus, in this strudy, We performed the research with the test results using provision of ASTM C672 of freez and thaw durability of concrete. Also, it is identified suitable test method to measure of freez and thaw.

PURPOSES : Infiltration of moisture, polluted material, and deicer into concrete, accompanied by freeze and thaw can cause significant deterioration of concrete pavement. In order to protect concrete from deterioration, it is necessary to prevent the infiltration of these concrete external materials. The moisture-repellent agent, which is a surface treatment and maintenance material added to concrete structures to render them water resistant, has advantages such as prevention of water infiltration and security against air permeation. Nano-coat, which is referred to as silicon hydride, is typically used as a moisture-repellent agent. Therefore, in this study, an attempt is made to use penetration-type Nano-coat as an alternative in order to evaluate its applicability through environmental resistance tests. METHODS : This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of penetration-type Nano-coat, which can provide water repellency to concrete, in concrete pavements, through various environmental resistance tests such as freezing and thawing resistance, chloride ion penetration resistance, and surface scaling resistance tests. The applicability of penetration-type Nano-coat was demonstrated based on the specification of KS F 2711, KS F 2456, and ASTM C 672. RESULTS :In the case of penetration-type Nano-coat applied on sound concrete, an increase in concrete durability was demonstrated by the negligible chloride ion penetrability and the absence of scaling, as revealed by visual observation of the surface, after 50 cycles of scaling resistance test. In addition, test result of the application of penetration-type Nano-coat on deteriorated concrete established that concrete surface pretreated by grinding provided improved durability than non-treated concrete. CONCLUSIONS :This study indicates that penetration-type Nano-coat is applicable as an effective alternative, to increase the durability of concrete structures. In addition, it was known that pretreatment of deteriorated concrete surface, such as grinding, is required to improve the long-term performance of concrete pavement.

PURPOSES : The use of roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is an environmentally friendly method of construction that utilizes the aggregate interlock effect by means of a hydration reaction and roller compacting, demonstrating a superb structural performance with a relatively small unit water content and unit cement content. However, even if an excellent structural performance was secured through a previous study, the verification research on the environmental load and long-term durability was conducted under unsatisfactory conditions. In order to secure longterm durability, the construction of an appropriate internal air-void structure is required. In this study, a method of improving the long-term durability of RCCP will be suggested by analyzing the internal air-void structure and relevant durability of roller-compacted concrete. METHODS : The method of improving the long-term durability involves measurements of the air content, air voids, and air-spacing factor in RCCP that experiences a change in terms of the kind of air-entraining agent and chemical admixture proportions. This test should be conducted on the basis of test criteria such as ASTM C 457, 672, and KS F 2456. RESULTS : Freezing, thawing, and scaling resistance tests of roller compacted concrete without a chemical admixture showed that it was weak. However, as a result of conducting air entraining (AE) with an AE agent, a large amount of air was distributed with a range of 2~3%, and an air void spacing factor ranging from 200 to $300{\mu}m$ (close to $250{\mu}m$) coming from PCA was secured. Accordingly, the freezing and thawing resistance was improved, with a relative dynamic elastic modulus of more than 80%, and the scaling resistance was improved under the appropriate AE agent content rate. CONCLUSIONS : The long-term durability of RCCP has a direct relationship with the air-void spacing factor, and it can be secured only by ensuring the air void spacing factor through air entraining with the inclusion of an AE agent.

콘크리트의 박리(scaling)는 수분의 존재하에 동결융해 싸이클에 따른 콘크리트의 점진적인 표면열화이다. 특히, 이것은 제설제에 염화물의 존재가 콘크리트 표면박리(스켈링)와 더불어 심한 경우, 굵은골재의 노출 및 탈리로 이어질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 스켈링에 대한 저염화물계 제설제(low chloride deicier, LCD)와 염화칼슘 및 염화나트륨 제설제의 상대적인 영향을 ASTM C672에 준하여 실시하였다. 시험 제설제의 농도는 1, 4, 10% 이고, 수돗물은 기준으로 사용하였다. 박리량은 중량으로 평가하였다. 연구결과 4% 농도를 적용하였을 때, 동결융해 56 싸이클 후 콘크리트의 박리는 수돗물에 비해 LCD 용액에서 약 9배, 염화칼슘 용액에서 약 18배, 염화나트륨 용액에서 약 33배 정도 크게 발생하였다. 용액의 농도에 따라서는 고농도인 10%에 비해 4% 농도에서 표면 박리가 가장 현저하게 발생하였는데, 이는 스켈링 발생이 염농도가 3~4%일 때 가장 현저해진다는 기존의 연구결과와 일치함을 알 수 있었다(일본콘크리트공학회, 1999). 또한 콘크리트가 경화된 후, 현장에서 염화나트륨 및 저염화물계 제설제(LCD, 염소이온 중량비 50%)가 살포되고 동결융해 싸이클에 노출된 경우, 제설제에 노출되지 않은 경우의 콘크리트 동해열화에 대해, 콘크리트의 공기량에 따른 영향을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 연구 결과 동결융해 싸이클에 따른 콘크리트 시편은 제설제에 노출되지 않은 것 보다 염화물 제설제 노출에서 스켈링이 더 심한 것으로 나타났고, 염화물 제설제에 노출된 시편이 노출되지 않은 시편 보다 중량 손실이 2배나 되었다. 콘크리트 시편의 상대 동탄성계수는 염화물 제설제에 노출되지 않은 것과 비교하여 염화물 제설제에 노출된 것에서 더 빠르게 감소하였다. 또한 염화나트륨 제설제에 노출된 콘크리트 시편의 상대 동탄성계수는 저염화물계 제설제에 노출된 것 보다 더 빠르게 감소하였다. AE 콘크리트는 염화물과 동결융해 싸이클에 노출되었을 때, Non-AE 콘크리트 보다 성능저하가 크게 지연되었다.
