As RC structures in the marine environment rapidly increase, the interest and the importance of Chloride Penetration durable design have been growing. However, there is hardly any domestic Chloride Penetration durability of RC structures designed analysis programs. Currently, Chloride Penetration durable design method is studied and launched actively as a program in the United States, Europe, Japan and etc., but it is limited to Chloride Penetration durability of RC structures excluded from maintenance construction. Also, the level of dependence on the foreign technology is high; the foreign program is imported and used when needed. The main objective is to compare and to evaluate with the durability assessment program and several conditions when considering the design of Chloride Penetration durability through the programs developed abroad.

Chloride ion ingress is one of the major problems that affect the durability of concrete structures such as bridge decks, concrete pavements, and other structures exposed to harsh saline environments. Therefore, durability based design of concrete structures in severe condition has gained great significance in recent decades and various mathematical models for estimating the service life of rein-forced concrete have been proposed. In spite of comprehensive researches on the corrosion of rein-forced concrete, there are still various controversial concepts in quantitation of durability parameters such as chloride diffusion coefficient and surface chloride content. Effect of environment conditions on the durability of concrete structures is one of the most important issues. Hence, regional investigations are necessary for durability based design and evaluation of the models. Persian Gulf is one of the most aggressive regions of the world because of elevated temperature and humidity as well as high content of chloride ions in seawater. The aim of this study is evaluation of some parameters of durability of RC structures in marine environment from viewpoint of corrosion initiation. For this purpose, some experiments were carried out on the real RC structures and in laboratory. The result showed that various uncertainties in parameters of durability were existed.

Although concrete is believed to be a durable material, concrete structures have been degraded by severe environmental conditions such as the effects of chloride and chemical, abrasion, and other deterioration processes. Therefore, durability evaluation has been required to ensure the long term serviceability of structures located in chloride exposed environments. Recently, probability-based durability analysis and design have proven to be reliable for the service-life predictions of concrete structures. This approach has been successfully applied to durability estimation and design of concrete structures. However, currently it is difficult to find an appropriate method engineers can use to solve these probability-based diffusion problems. In this paper, computer software has been developed to facilitate probability-based durability analysis and design. This software predict the chloride diffusion using the Monte Carlo simulation method based on Fick's second law, and provides durability analysis and design solutions. A graphic user interface (GUI) is adapted for intuitive and easy use. The developed software is very useful not only for prediction of the service life but for the durability design of the concrete structures exposed to chloride environments.

In recent years, many research works have been carried out in order to obtain a more controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing environments. In particular, the development of new procedures for probability-based durability analysis/design has proved to be very valuable. In this paper, the equation used for modelling of the chloride penetration was based on Fick's Second Law of Diffusion in combination with a time dependent diffusion coefficient. The probability analysis of the durability performance was performed by use of a Monte Carlo Simulation. The procedure was applied to an example based on limited data gathered in this country. The influences of each parameter on the durability of concrete structures are studied and some comments for durability design are given. The new procedure may be very useful in designing concrete structures in chloride containing environments.

It is well-documented that the major deterioration of coastal RC structures is chloride-induced corrosion. Therefore, regional investigations are necessary for durability based design and evaluation of the proposed service life prdiction models. In this paper, four reinforced concrete jetties exposed to severe marine environment were monitored to assess the long term chloride penetration at 6 months to 96 months. Also, some accelerated durability tests were performed on standard samples in laboratory. As a result, two time-dependent equations are proposed for basic parameters of chloride diffusion into concrete and then the corrosion initiation time is estimated by a developed probabilistic service life model Also, two famous service life prediction models are compared using chloride profiles obtained from structures after about 40 years in the tidal exposure conditions. The results confirm that the influence of concrete quality on diffusion coefficients is related to the concrete pore structure and the time dependence is due to chemical reactions of sea water ions with hydration products which lead a reduction in pore structure. Also, proper attention to the durability properties of concrete may extend the service life of marine structures greater than fifty years, even in harsh environments.

In this study, detailed assessment for durability performance were performed on the chloride protected concrete structures to investigate the effectiveness of chloride protection. And economical efficiency for the chloride protected concrete structures were studied by LCC(Life Cycle Cost) analysis. In the comparison result of the first section repair time, it was found that the chloride protected concrete structures was economical better than the non-protected concrete structures in the long term. According to the analysis result of the accumulated chloride concentration by used time and chloride ion concentration by depth, it can be seen that the permeation through time from chloride has increased two times in the chloride protected concrete structures.

A probability-based durability design which minimizes the uncertainties on durability parameters of concrete is proposed for reinforced concrete structures subjected to chloride attack. The uncertainties of various factors such as water-cement ratio, curing temperature, age of concrete and the variation of these factors which affect chloride ion diffusion are considered. For the durability design, a probability-distribution function for each factor is obtained and a program which combines Fick's 2nd law and Monte Carlo simulation is developed. The durability design method proposed in this study considers probability of durability limit and probability of the concentration of chloride ion, so that the probability-based deterioration prediction is possible.

The new procedure may be very useful in designing an important concrete structures in chloride containing environments. Also it may help to predict the service life of concrete structures under a given probability of failure.

염해에 노출된 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 평가는 매우 중요하므로 최근들어 결정론적 및 확률론적 방법을 통하여 내구수명을 평가하는 시도가 이루어지고 있다. Fick's 2nd 법칙에 근거한 내구수명 평가방법은 표면 염화물량과 확산계수의 시간의존성을 고려하여 합리적인 설계를 수행하고 있으나, 확률론적 방법에서는 이러한 영향이 고려되지 않고 있다. 본 논문에서는 시간에 따라 증가하는 표면염화물량을 유효 표면염화물량으로 고려한 뒤 시간의존성 확산계수를 고려하여 내구적 파괴확률을 도출할 수 있는 해석기법을 제안하였다. 표면염화물에 도달하는 기간을 10~30년으로, 표면염화물량을 $5.0{\sim}10.0kg/m^3$으로 변화시키면서 내구적 파괴확률을 평가하고 내구수명의 변화를 분석하였다. 제안된 기법은 결정론적 내구수명 평가방법의 해석조건을 동일하게 적용시키면서 설계인자의 확률 변동성을 고려할 수 있으므로 과다한 설계를 방지함으로서 합리적인 설계기법으로 적용할 수 있다.
