There are various methods for the electrochemical techniques to estimate diffusion coefficient of chloride ions in concrete, such as ASTM C 1202 test method, Andrade's method, Dhir's method, Tang's method, and etc. In the case of estimating diffusion coefficient of chloride ions in concrete by using these methods, applied voltage and resistivity nay exercise some influence on the characteristics of chloride ions diffusion. Thus. in this study, effect of applied voltage and resistivity on the characteristics of chloride ions diffusion in concrete were researched by applying voltage in 12V, 30V, and 60V, and by using resistivity in 0.2Ω and 1.0Ω, respectively. It can be concluded that diffusion coefficient of chloride ions are found to be increasing as the individual applied voltage and resistivity decrease, when water-cement ratio is constant.

Air voids in hardened concrete have an important influence on concrete durability such as resistance of freezing and thawing, permeability and surface scaling resistance. Linear traverse method and point count method in ASTM standard method have been widely used to estimate the air void system in hardened concrete. However, these methods are not used at present time, because they are is exhausted much time and effort. In previous study, air voids system of concrete was estimated by spacing factor. The purpose of this study organizes image analysis method by analyzing air contents, air voids distributions by diameters, air voids system as well as spacing factors after hardened concrete. The experimental variables institute of depth of specimen(top, middle, bottom), air contents(AE contents 0, 0.01, 0.03%).

Nowadays, the two microphone method is accepted as the standard as specified in ASTM E1050-90 for measuring in-duct acoustic properties. However, research results on using the least square method with multiple measurement points and broadband excitation have been reported for enhancing the frequency response of the two microphone method. In this paper, the effects of varying the relative measurement positions on errors in the estimation of the acoustic quantities is studied for the multiple microphone method. Both of the theoretical and experimental results show that, among every possible sensor positioning configurations, the equidistant positioning of sensors yields the smallest error within the effective measurement frequency range. In addition, it is noted that the measurement accuracy can be increased and the effective frequency range can be widened by increasing the number of equidistant sensors. Measurement examples are shown and the results support the findings.

Solid particle erosion wear characteristics of high Cr white iron hardfacing were investigated using the erosion wear test method according with the ASTM G76-95. Wear experiments, where the blast angle, blast distance and blast pressure were selected as test variables, were planned and analyzed by response surface method (RSM to evaluate the wear loss statistically and quantitatively. The measured wear losses well coincided with the calculated ones by the experimental equation. The wear loss of high Cr cast iron hardfacing was increased with blasting pressure, but affected in a complicated way by the blasting angle and distance. Erosion wear of high Cr cast iron hardfacing could be well predicted by RSM analysis of wear variables.

Following the method described in ASTM E1737, J resistance curves are measured for Cr-Mo steel SA387, and Cr steel A240 which are used as piping materials in nuclear industry. Crack driving force diagrams are generated in order to find out instability points in crack growth. The $J_{appl}$ curves, which are used in the crack driving force diagram, are obtained from EPRI J estimation method and the finite element analysis. Crack growth instability points are plotted in load-crack length plane and the results are discussed.

SG-365 steel is an important material and used for manufacturing a pressure vessel which the gas piping. In this investigation, the elastic plastic fracture toughness of this material is evaluated by the unloading compliance method according to the ASTM E813-97 and E1152-97 method on the smooth and side groove 1CT specimens. The effect of smooth and side groove is studied on the elastic plastic fracture toughness. The side grooved specimen is very useful in estimation of the $J_{IC}$. It is much easier than the smooth specimen to the onset of the ductile tearing by the R curve method. Besides, it improves the accuracy of toughness values, decreases a phenomenon of the tunneling and shear lip by the side groove.

The vibrating table method is widely used to estimate the minimum void ratio $e_{min}$. The existing method recommended in ASTM and KS F, however, can not consider the particle crushing during the vibrating table test. In this study, the particle cursing phenomenon was investigated by comparing vibrating table test with pluviation method using artificial sand (K-7). Vibrating table test for the artificial sand was confirmed which can crush of particle during the test. This study demonstrates that vibrating table test is an ineffective method to produce the more reliable $e_{min}$ of artificial sand.

This study was aimed to verify the validity of the flexural toughness evaluation method of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete(SFRS) currently being adopted by Korea Highway Corporation(KHC). Total 33 beam specimens using six different kinds of steel fiber products were prepared at tunnel construction sites and flexural toughness tests were executed at laboratory. Equivalent flexural strengths and toughness quotients were evaluated from the tests following the KHC guide iud these were compared with the quality grades determined under the guides proposed by ASTM, ITA and EFNARC. To discard the disadvantage that the toughness quotient could be influenced by flexural strength when following the KHC guide, a modification substituting the designed flexural strength for the flexural strength in the toughness quotient calculation formula was proposed to rate the quality of SFRS more adequately.
