Reinforced concrete have defect in durability due to carbonation, freezing and thawing, and penetration of chloride ions with time in spite of superb structure. Especially steel corrosion in concrete due to penetration of chloride ions have result in a marked decline in service life. The principal purpose in this study is to see effect of sacrificial anode cathodic system, one of the electrochemical methods in order to the control of steel corrosion in concrete. There are chloride content in concrete in cracked and no cracked specimen with cathodic protection. To recognize the effect of sacrificial anode cathodic protection, Instant-off potential are measured. We have the excellent effect for control steel corrosion adaption sacrificial anode cathodic system.

Cathodic protection(CP) is widely used as a means of protecting corrosion for not only marine structures like ship hulls and offshore drilling facilities, but also underground structures like buried pipelines and oil storage tanks. The principle of CP is that the anodic dissolution of metal can be protected by supplying electrons to the cathode metal. When unprotected structures are nearby to CP systems, interference problems between unprotected and protected structures may be happened. The stray current interference can accelerate the corrosion of nearby structures. So far many efforts have been made to reduce the interference in the electric railway systems adjacent to the underground metal structures like buried pipelines and gas/oil tanks. During recent few decades the protection technologies against stray current induced corrosion have been significantly improved and a number of techniques have been developed. However, there is very limited information an marine environments. Some complex harbor structures are protected by two cathodic protection systems, i.e. sacrificial anode cathodic protection(SACP) and impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP). In this case, when the protection current from sacrificial anodes returns to the cathode through electrolyte, it passes through nearby other low resistance metal structures. In many cases the stray current of ICCP systems influences the function of SACP. In this study, the risk of stray current from the SACP system to adjacent reinforced concrete structures has been verified through laboratory experiments. Concrete and steel pile structures modeled a part of bridge have been investigated in terms of CP potential and current between the two. The variation of stray current according to the magnitude of ICCP/SACP has been studied to mitigate it and to suggest the proper protection criteria.

In rebar concrete structure, the corrosion of rebar can arise the deterioration of concrete structure and may affect the safety of the whole system. Recently, several methods for corrosion protection have been used and are more important for concrete structure using the sand including chloride ion. Among several protections, electrical cathodic protection has been expected to be one of the most useful methods in corrosion protection for reinforcement of concrete structures. The anode for cathodic protection needs high current density, high corrosion resistance and low overvoltage. To fill up the special qualities, the insoluble anodes were developed and these anodes were coated with metal oxide of $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$, $RuO_2$, and $IrO_2$. Lifetime of these anodes can be one of the important factors affecting the lifetime of concrete structure in cathodic protection. In this work, several anodes were made by sol-gel method and thermal decomposition method and the lifetime of these anodes was evaluated by NACE international standard test method, TM 0294-94. Also, we did analyze the properties of coated metal oxides.

In this paper, physical scale modeling was employed to identify the configurations of ICCP system and the electric field signatures. Computational boundary element modeling technique has been used to simulate the performance of the CP system and to predict the associated electric fields signatures. The optimization methods combined with the computer models and physical scale modeling will be presented here, which enable the optimum system design to be achieved both in terms of the location and current output of the anode but also in the location of reference electrodes for impressed current cathodic protection(ICCP) systems. The combined methodology was utilized to determine optimal placement of ICCP components (anodes and reference electrodes) and to evaluate performance of ICCP system for the 2%, 10% and 14% wetted hull coatings loss. The objective is to design the system to minimise the electric field while at the same time provide adequate protection for the ship. The results show that experimental scale modeling and computational modeling techniques can be used in concert to design an optimum ICCP system and to provide information for quickly analysis of the system and its surrounding environment.

The objective of a cathodic protection system (CP) is to protect the buried metallic structure against the corrosion caused by chemical reaction between the buried structure and the surrounding medium, such as soil. This paper presents a boundary element application to determine the optimal impressed current densities in a cathodic protection system. The potential within the electrolyte is described by the Laplace's equation with nonlinear boundary conditions which are enforced based on experimentally determined electrochemical polarization curves. The optimal impressed current densities are determined in order to minimize the power supply for protection. The solution is obtained by using the conjugate gradient method in which the governing equations and the protecting conditions are taken into account by the penalty function method. Numerical example are presented to demonstrate the practical applicability of the proposed method.

최근 우리나라의 남해고속도로 상에 있는 해상 교량의 교각에서 부식이 발생하였다. 이 해상 교량의 부식 손상부위를 보수하기 위하여 희생양극식 전기방식을 설치하였다. 본 연구에서 소개한 해상교량의 경우, 구조물의 상부에서는 부식이 발생되지 않았기 때문에 해수에 의한 조수간만의 영향을 받는 간만대와 비말대 부분에만 희생양극식 전기방식을 설치하였다. 해상교량에 희생양극식 전기방식을 설치한 후 약 8년이 경과된 시점에서 희생양극식 전기방식의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 방식전류, 방식전위 및 복극량을 측정하였다. 전체 60개의 교각에 설치된 희생양극식 음극방식의 성능에 관한 실험 결과는 방식 양호(13개 교각), 부분 방식(27개 교각), 일시적 오류(7개 교각), 피복 들뜸(13개 교각)과 같이 4부분으로 분류하였다. 방식성능이 불량한 교각에 대해서는 양극의 추가 설치 및 Jacket 시공 등과 같은 추가적인 조치가 필요하다고 판단된다.
