Durability of concrete has been currently issued in the engineering societies and a large number of studies on the concrete corrosion in salty environment have been performed. The reinforcement corrosion, which is the primary reason of deterioration of the concrete structure exposed to chloride environment. is caused by the chloride ions infiltration owing to underground water seeping into the concrete. In this study. the endurance periods using the diffusion equation of the concrete specification have been evaluated on the concrete structures with different addictives for the brand new R/C subway structure exposed to seashore underground water. Furthermore. the guidance for proper use of the addictives and the reasonable thickness of concrete cover are derived for concrete mixing. From the result of the evaluation corresponding to salt damage for Inchon subway line I, the endurance periods of the ordinary Portlandcement concretes are represented as $42\~75$ years and fail to achieve the objective period of 100 years. However, the lower water-cement ratio expands the endurance periods and the blast furnace slag concrete with small quantity of the silica fume, which shows the best performance of corrosion resistance in this study, represents more than 170 years of the endurance period. Moreover, the case of use of blast furnace slag and fly ash together shows the endurance period of $134\~171$ years and it means that the result very satisfies the objective endurance period.

Zinc coating on carbon steels give the higher corrosion resistance in chloride containing environments and in carbonated concrete. However, hydrogen evolution accompanies the corrosion of zinc in the initial activity in fresh concrete, which can lead to the formation of a porous structure at the reinforcement -concrete interface, which can potentially reduce the bond-strength of the reinforcement with concrete. The present study examines the mechanism of the corrosion of hot-dip galvanized steel in detail, as in the model pore solutions and real concrete. Calcium ion plays an important role in the corrosion mechanism, as it prevents the formation of passive layers on zinc at an elevated alkalinity. The corrosion rate of galvanized steel decreases in accordance with the exposure time; however, the reason for this is not the zinc transition into passivity, but the consumption of the less corrosion-resistant phases of hot-dip galvanizing in the concrete environment. The results on the electrochemical tests have been confirmed by the bond-strength test for the reinforcement of concrete and by evaluating the porosity of the cement adjacent to the reinforcement.

This study aims the evaluation of the corrosion of steel bar embedded in antiwashout underwater concrete, which has rather been neglected to date. To that goal, accelerated steel bar corrosion tests have been performed on three series of steel bar-reinforced antiwashout underwater concrete specimens manufactured with different admixtures. The three series of antiwashout underwater concrete were: concrete constituted exclusively with ordinary portland cement (OPC), concrete composed of ordinary portland cement mixed with fly-ash in $20\%$ ratio (FA20), and concrete with ground granulated blast furnace slag mixed in $50\%$ ratio (BFS50). The environment of manufacture was in artificial seawater. Measurement results using half-cell potential surveyor showed that, among all the specimens, steel bar in OPC was the first one that exceeded the threshold value proposed by ASTM C 876 with a potential value below -350mv after 14 cycles. And, the corresponding corrosion current density and concentration of water soluble chloride were measured as $30{\mu}A/mm^2$ and $0.258\%$. On the other hand, for the other specimens that are FA20 and BFS50, potential values below -350mV were observed later at 18 and 20 cycles, respectively. Results confirmed the hypothesis that mineral admixtures may be more effective on delay the development of steel bar corrosion in antiwashout underwater concrete.

Mechanical structures of military equipment have been mainly applied with black oxide coating due to the limitation of surface treatment thickness. However, the mechanical structures applied by the black oxide coating treatment is constantly being corroded by calcium chloride and humidity. Since this can cause serious problems in the operation of equipment, a review to improve surface treatment and corrosion resistance is required. Therefore, in this study, surface treatment methods that can enhance corrosion resistance were selected and corrosion resistance performance was verified through experiments describing harsh field conditions. Thus, applying a proven surface treatment method to future military equipment will prevent corrosion.

The correlation between sensor output and corrosion rate of reinforcing steel was evaluated by laboratory electrochemical tests in saturated $Ca(OH)_2$ with 3.5 wt.% NaCl and confirmed in concrete environment. In this paper, two types of electrochemical probes were developed: galvanic cells containing of steel/copper and steel/stainless steel couples. Potentiodynamic test, weight loss measurement, monitoring of open-circuit potential, linear polarization resistance (LPR) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to evaluate the corrosion behavior of steel bar embedded in concrete. Also, galvanic current measurements were conducted to obtain the charge of sensor embedded in concrete. In this study, steel/copper and steel/stainless steel sensors showed a good correlation in simulated concrete solution between sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar. However, there was no linear relationship between steel/stainless steel sensor output and corrosion rate of steel bar in concrete environment due to the low galvanic current output. Thus, steel/copper sensor is a reliable corrosion monitoring sensor system which can detect corrosion rate of reinforcing steel in concrete structures.

Reinforced-concrete structures built on the seashore or in seawater are damaged from flying-salt of chloride ion in the seawater. Recently many bridges are being constructed under marine enviornment and there are many serious problems of chlofide attack owing to penetration of chloride ion. And up to now it has not only so little a seatch about damage from flying-salt and seawater but also little systematic study outcome about steel corrosion. In this study we investigate the concrete deterioration and steel corrosion of RC bridges on the seashore. Environmental conditions are investigated, and compressive strength, carbonation depth and steel-corrosion degree are measured.

Chloride is one of the most common threats to reinforced concrete (RC) durability. Alkaline environment of concrete makes a passive layer on the surface of reinforcement bars that prevents the bar from corrosion. However, when the chloride concentration amount at the reinforcement bar reaches a certain level, deterioration of the passive protection layer occurs, causing corrosion and ultimately reducing the structure's safety and durability. Therefore, understanding the chloride diffusion and its prediction are important to evaluate the safety and durability of RC structure. In this study, the chloride diffusion coefficient is predicted by machine learning techniques. Various machine learning techniques such as multiple linear regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks, extreme gradient boosting annd k-nearest neighbor were used and accuracy of there models were compared. In order to evaluate the accuracy, root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used as prediction performance indices. The k-fold cross-validation procedure was used to estimate the performance of machine learning models when making predictions on data not used during training. Grid search was applied to hyperparameter optimization. It has been shown from numerical simulation that ensemble learning methods such as random forest and extreme gradient boosting successfully predicted the chloride diffusion coefficient and artificial neural networks also provided accurate result.

해양환경에서 콘크리트의 내구성과 철근의 부식은 콘크리트 내부로 침투하는 염소이온에 의해 악화된다. 본 연구에서는 염소이온에 의해 야기되는 콘크리트의 염해부식에 대한 저항성을 향상시키기 위해 전도성 광촉매를 사용하였다. 시험체로는 전도성 활성탄소와 광촉매($TiO_2$)분말을 혼합하여 모르타르와 콘크리트를 제작하였다. 전도성 탄소의 함량이 증가할수록 압축강도는 감소하였다. 전도성 광촉매가 첨가된 시험체가 일반 시험체보다 월등히 우수한 내염해부식성을 나타내었으며 이것은 XRF 시험에 의한 분석 결과 모르타르 또는 콘크리트 내부로의 염소이온 확산이 광촉매 작용에 의해 억제되었기 때문인 것으로 판단되었다. 모르타르 및 콘크리트 내부로의 염소이온 확산계수를 구함으로써 광촉매에 의한 염소이온 확산에 대한 억제반응이 분석되었다.

Corrosion of reinforced concrete structures in marine environment is one of the most important mechanism of deterioration. The conventional repair techniques of concrete structure damaged by chloride attack consist of removing damaged concrete, cleaning rebar and patching with cement-based materials. However, recently, this method was considered to be ineffective for marine concrete structure in tidal zone. It is necessary to select proper repair method for domestic marine environment which shows broad tidal zone. This paper reports the results of repair of highway concrete bridge damaged by chloride attack in domestic marine environment.
