Steel corrosion is a very significant problem both to durability and structural safety since reinforcement has to support loads in tensile region in RC(Reinforced Concrete) member. In the paper, newly invented FRP Hybrid Bar and normal steel are embedded in RC beam member, and ICM (Impressed Current Method) is adopted for corrosion acceleration. Utilizing the previous theory of Faraday's Law, corrosion amount is calculated and flexural tests are performed for RC beam with FRP Hybrid Bar and steel, respectively. Corrosion amount level of 4.9~7.8% is measured in normal RC member and the related reduction of flexural capacity is measured to be -25.4~-50.8%, however there are no significant reduction of flexural capacity and corrosion initiation in RC samples with FRP Hybrid Bar due to high resistance of epoxy-coated steel to corrosion initiation. In the accelerated corrosion test, excellent performance of anti-corrosion and bonding with concrete are evaluated but durability evaluation through long-term submerged test is required for actual utilization.

Deterioration of long-term dentin adhesion durability is thought to occur by hydrolytic degradation within hydrophilic domains of the adhesive and hybrid layers. This study investigated the hypothesis that priming the collagen network with an organic solvent displace water without collapse and thereby obtain good bond strength with an adhesive made of hydrophobic monomers and organic solvents. Three experimental adhesives were prepared by dissolving two hydrophobic monomers, bisphenol-A-glycidylmethacrylate (Bis-GMA) and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), into acetone, ethanol or methanol. After an etching and rinsing procedure, the adhesives were applied onto either wet dentin surfaces (wet bonding) or dentin surfaces primed with the same solvent (solvent-primed bonding). Microtensile bond strength (MTBS) was measured at 48 hrs, 1 month and after 10,000 times of thermocycles. The bonded interfaces were evaluated using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Regardless of bonding protocols, well-developed hybrid layers were observed at the bonded interface in most specimens. The highest mean MTBS was observed in the adhesive containing ethanol at 48 hrs. With solvent-primed bonding, increased MTBS tendencies were seen with thermo cycling in the adhesives containing ethanol or methanol. However, in the case of wet bonding, no increase in MTBS was observed with aging.

Most of existing repair materials have some shortcomings such as brittle fracture, imperfect interface bonding and marked difference in modulus of elasticity compared with the structures. These problems make their repair inefficient. Some researches on using a fiber-reinforced mortar as an alternative to enhance the efficiency have been carried out recently. This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the performance of sprayed PVA fiber-reinforced mortar as a repair material. We evaluated its mechanical properties, durability and strengthening effect. This study shows that the sprayed PVA fiber-reinforced mortar is remarkably effective as a repair material.

This study deals with the effect on adhesive strength properties of waterproofing and reinforcing layer and mortar or concrete substrate applicated by epoxy resin anticorrosive and bonding materials. Properties of adhesive strength change condition of concrete substrate, temperature, moisture, curing and cleaning and so on. The purpose of this study is that it makes the estimation value of bond strength of concrete wall and epoxy resin layer when coated epoxy resin as anticorrosive materials for durability performance estimation depend on concrete watertightness, and when penetrated epoxy resin for the reinforcement of concrete used the carbon fiber sheet.

Recently, The corrosions of reinforced concrete structures are severe problems of economical social effects. PE-coated bars protecting from corrosion and enhancing durability of reinforced concrete structures are testified to evaluate structural properties. Tests are verified by comparative bending tests of the three type materials of epoxy coating, without coating and pe-coating. Load-deflection relations ate superior in pe-coated bar than any other materials(bare bar and epoxy bar). These are proved bonding properties enhancement by using cement powder.

The durability of concrete is decreased by various deterioration factors such as a crack, spalling, corrosion. Many repair and rehabilitation methods have been introduced to extend service life of RC structure. An application of coating material is one of repair and rehabilitation methods. However, there is a problem due to reduction of bonding strength and damage of coating material in the case of existed coating material. Thus, this paper is aim to investigate the chloride resistance according to application method of coating material which improve the existed problem. According to the results, it is showed that application of coating material reduces diffusion of chloride into concrete. In special, application of MMA polymer showed the best resistance for chloride attack. However, variation of application method and number of times has a minor effect on chloride diffusion.

To clarify the one body behavior of reinforcing bar and concrete, it is important to investigate bond characteristics between two materials. Bond strength is decided by applied force and interface area between reinforcing bar and concrete. And, the resultant force of chemical adhesive force, frictional force, and mechanical interaction are to be main factors. Property of concrete influences on chemical adhesive force and frictional force; bond strength is decreased by corrosion of reinforcing bar, as the result, durability is also decreased. In this study, to confirm bond characteristics with property of concrete, w/c ratio and blending of mineral admixture were selected as the main test parameters. The results obtained from this study will be used as the basic data for bond characteristics with corrosion.

Normally, using coating material could result in different performance according to the various changes of environments or operation conditions. For these reasons, there are decreasing tendency for the durability, beauty and scenery of structures as the separation or exfoliation occurred after operation. Especially we must find out not only bond strength characteristics of coating material under temperature conditions but also bond strength reduction under heating-cooling repeat test because Korea has four distinct seasons. In this paper, the deformation and bond strength characteristics of coating material have been investigated. and we suggest some preliminary data of coating material for its best performance under various temperature condition.

In this paper, we have proposed a simple finite element model for separation mode analysis on the roadwheel and track assembly of main battle tank and established a contact stress-based mechanism which could explain the initiation and growth of separation defect occurred during the test of padreplacable track. It was proved that the longitudinal contact shear stress component on the pin hole region of the track shoe body which is parallel to the driving direction is consistent with the crack initiation at the bonding surface between track shoe and wheel-side rubber. The longitudinal shear stress increased locally near the separated region after the separation initiated. So we could assume that the local stress concentration accelerates the separation growth according to the shear mode.

Novel silane coupling agents containing hydrophobic phenyl group 3-(3-methoxy-4-methacryloyloxyphenyl) propyl-trimethoxysilane(p-MPS), -triisocyanatesilane (p-MBI), -trichlorosilane (p-MBC) were synthesized. The bonding durability of these silanes against water immersion and thermal stress was investigated. 3-methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (3-MPG) was used as a control. The glass modified with those silanes at a concentration of 2wt％ were kept for 3 minutes at $120^{\circ}C$, and then were bonded to the heaped metal with self-cured resin composite.(omitted)
