After developing the pre-crack to simulate a damaged reinforced concrete beam, fatigue test was conducted on the beam repaired by GFRP Bar and GSP embedded method. In the result of fatigue test, most residual displacement and crack of the experimental beams occurs in the early loading cycle and an increasing rate of these due to number of cycles were insignificant. Comparing with a non-repaired beam, a static strength of the repaired beam greatly increased, but fatigue strength decreased. In S-N curves, fatigue strength of the beam repaired by GFRP Bar and GSP was 58%, 52% of the static strength respectively.

Environmental and safety problems are one of the most important factors in designing coastal wave control structures and maintaining facilities in coastal zone. This study suggests the multi-cylinder piles as a profitable structure for preserving coastal zone as well as controlling the wave effectively. The hydraulic model experiment was performed to investigate the effect of erosion control of the structure. The experimental study was carried out to research the effect of erosion control in the coastal zone for existing a concrete wave breaker and the structure with multi-cylinder piles placing at the same location. As a result multi-cylinder piles reduced erosion at each sides of structure and occured sedimetation at front of structure.

The strength theory of concrete is significant to structure design and nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete structures because concrete utilized in engineering is usually subject to the action of multi-axial stress. Experimental results have revealed that lightweight aggregate (LWA) concrete exhibits plastic flow plateau under high compressive stress and most of the lightweight aggregates are crushed at this stage. For the purpose of safety, therefore, in the practical application the strength of LWA concrete at the plastic flow plateau stage should be regarded as the ultimate strength under multi-axial compressive stress state. With consideration of the strength criterion, the ultimate strength surface of LWA concrete under multi-axial stress intersects with the hydrostatic stress axis at two different points, which is completely different from that of the normal weight concrete as that the ultimate strength surface is open-ended. As a result, the strength criteria aimed at normal weight concrete do not fit LWA concrete. In the present paper, a multi-axial strength criterion for LWA concrete is proposed based on the Unified Twin-Shear Strength (UTSS) theory developed by Prof Yu (Yu et al. 1992), which takes into account the above strength characteristics of LWA under high compressive stress level. In this strength criterion model, the tensile and compressive meridians as well as the ultimate strength envelopes in deviatoric plane under different hydrostatic stress are established just in terms of a few characteristic stress states, i.e., the uniaxial tensile strength $f_t$, the uniaxial compressive strength $f_c$, and the equibiaxial compressive $f_{bc}$. The developed model was confirmed to agree well with experimental data under different stress ratios of LWA concrete.

The plain and simple shape water front structure were designed and installed for wave protection and wave resistance. But the installation of these plain and simple structure cause deficiency of environmental affinity. Also the resonance phenomena from the reflective wave and shipwave of the harbor incident wave caused high tide and wave, consequently maintaining the tranquility of inside harbor, give difficulty for mooring the ship and loading-unloading, increase the possibility of ship collision at the quray wall and landing place To solve these problems, we develop the environmentally friendly wave dissipation block. And installation efficiency, stability of the blocks through experiment of C.E Block Joint.

In this study, for the establishment of the performance evaluation methods and the quality control standards of durability recovery method, the data of indoor durability test and the data of the long term exposure test under the coast are accumulated and analyzed. As a result of the indoor test, durability of repair material was more superior to that of plain concrete, but as a result of investigating and evaluating exposure test at 30 month of exposure age under the coastal environment, the difference in electric potential and the reinforcement corrosion at place replaced with repair material are found.

The study is used to verify the applicability of the sensor to monitor penetration of chloride into the concrete, like real coastal environment. After manufacturing the specimen adapt corrosion sensor for chloride penetration monitoring, chloride spray experiment was conducted. And then, It was checked the possibility of monitoring of the penetrated chloride by measuring the resistance of the corrosion sensor that was embedded in each depth of the concrete. Experimental results, it is confirmed that the corrosion resistance of the sensor was increased depending on the concentration of chloride. Therefore, it is estimated that the sensor is available for monitoring of chloride penetration.

The reinforced concrcte structure were once belicved to have permanent durability. However, it is now spoiled by durability failure caused by the corrosion of embeded steel reingorcement carbonation. alkali-aggregate reaction and salt attack Recently. salt damage has been also spreading. Salt damage is found in concrete structures built using seasands or certain admixtures containing calcium chlorides and in coastal structures frequently caught in seawater spray or blown by seawind It is the aim of this study to investigate the performance and application of new repair system for the exterior wall according to the durability improvement in the RC structures.

In this study, for the establishment of the performance evaluation methods and the quality control standards of durability recovery method, the quantitative exposure data by long term exposure test under the coast is accumulated and analyzed Investigating and evaluating the result of exposure test at 30 month of exposure age under the coastal environment, carbonation and salt damage are not happened at all but the difference in electric potential are found. Therefore, it is considered that the reinforcement corrosion at replacement with repair material are caused by active-passive corrosion macrocells.

A comparative study of airborne salinity and sea wind was done for a coastal area, Sokcho city, of East Sea in Kangwon province, Korea. In this study, a relationship between the formation of airborne salinity and wind velocity was investigated, and then the airborne salinity was simulated and forecasted by the obtained wind-salinity characteristics. It is founded that most airborne salinity is brought by sea winds with the occurrence of velocity, higher than and equal to 4m/s, while the occurrence of lower wind velocities (ie., lower than 4m/s) in sea wind and the occurrence of inland wind give diluted effects on the airborne transfer. By using these characteristics and a proposed linear equation model, the salinity in Sokcho city is successfully simulated and forecasted. It is expected that the linear equation model may be useful for durability design of concrete structures under the conditions of chloride attack, induced by the airborne salinity.

When the seabed around and under gravity structures such as submerged breakwater is exposed to a large wave action long period, the excess pore pressure is generated significantly due to pore volume change associated with rearrangement soil grains. This effect leads a seabed liquefaction around and under structures as a result from decrease in the effective stress, and the possibility of structure failure is increased eventually. These facts shown above have been investigated in the previous studies related to regular and irregular waves. This study suggested a concrete mat for preventing the seabed liquefaction near the submerged breakwater. The concrete mat was mainly used as a countermeasure for scouring protection in riverbed. According to installation of the concrete mattress, the time and spatial series of the deformation of submerged breakwater, the pore water pressure, and the pore water pressure ratio in the seabed were investigated. Their results were also compared with those of the seabed unprotected with the concrete mat. The results presented were confirmed that the liquefaction potential of seabed under the concrete mattress is significantly reduced under regular wave field.
