Traditional durability analysis is not possible to provide a controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures. Recently, research works have shown that probabilistic approach based on the theory of structural reliability, would be very valuable for durability analysis. In this study, the probabilistic durability analysis based on a Monte Carlo Simulation was carried out using sample data selected from detailed field investigation. The probabilistic properties of some design variables, such as diffusion coefficients of concrete and surface chloride concentration, were newly determined using some experimental data. By applying a probabilistic durability analysis to an integral structural design, the durability performance of concrete structures would be remarkably improved.

Durability performance evaluation of automotive components is very important and time consuming task. In this paper, to reduce vehicle component development time and cost virtual testing simulation technology is used to evaluate durability performance of a passenger car front aluminum sub-frame. Multibody dynamics based vehicle model and virtual test simulation model of a half car road simulator are validated by comparisons between rig test results and simulation results. Durability life prediction of the sub-frame is carried out using the model with road load data of proving ground which can evaluate accelerated durability life. We found that the durability performance of the sub-frame is sufficient and it can be predicted within short time compared to rig test time.

In the course of studying the design of securing the 100-year-long durability of 100 years the subway structure according to the requested service by the Seoul Metropolitan Subway Construction Headquarters, we analyzed 14 construction sites adopting the durability design in subway line No. 9 and concluded as follows: 1. When comparing with 158, the environment index presented for securing 100-year-long durability of subway structure in subway line No. 9, the index of durability was verified as 159.7$\~$179.8 2. When examining the increase value of durability index, we verified that the constructors didn't make various choices in method but they employed the uniformly selected system. 3. Under consideration of the bid form, the construction under bid contract in bulk gave the impacts on the construction cost with attention to selection of the durability index, while the construction under alternative contract in bid adopted uniformly the standard presented by the ordering party.

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.

Purpose: In recent years, weight reduction for improving fuel efficiency of the vehicle and cost reduction have been developed. The structure of suspension link is widely used as a single plate press structure which can reduce process and weight compared to existing pipe welding method. However, it was found that the lifetime of a single plate press structure is determined by initial defects that occurred during initial manufacturing rather than fatigue damage caused by driving. Methods: I research the mechanism of failure phenomenon of the single plate press assist arm of rear wheel. In addition, I investigate durability effect parameters to determine the link lifetime in inserting bush into single plate press process through durability test. Conclusion: I discover significant durability effect parameter in inserting bush into single plate press process. It is expected that the durability can be improved by suggesting a bush inserting process inspection guide for similar suspension link like single plate press structure.

Concrete structures has been deteriorated by poor environment. This study was conducted to evaluate durability of concrete which are increasingly demanded recently. Therefore, the research of durability must be executed for application of Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete real structures. Concrete durability properties incorporating Polypropylene fiber was performed with the variable of Fiber contents, Fiber type and Target strength, specimens were made and subjected to durability and strength tests. The results show that strength of concrete is increased the Fiber content increase, Mono-Filament fiber and Polypropylene fiber reinforced concrete makes improved durability properties.

Recently, we are facing with the trend of demanding high durability concrete for creek structures. When creek structures are deteriorated, it is very difficult to repair them. The objective of this paper is to develop a mixing model for high durability creek concrete having 300kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ compressive strength. According to the result of durability experiment, high durability concrete for creek structures has high resistance of air permeability, absorption, chloride diffusion, and chemical attack.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the durability design method of reinforced concrete structure in order to establish a rationally combined design system of structural and durability design, that is to say performance-based design. In literature study, the integrated design of concrete structure studied JCI committe is very intensive durability design method for reinforced concrete structure. Specially, B root durability design method for selection of verification level is very effective method in the view of modeling of materials and structural properties to analyze safety and serviceability of RC structures.

In this study, durability performance of blended cement mortars is evaluated when various mineral admixtures are used with the cement. A comprehensive evaluation of the effects of mineral admixtures on the mortar performance was made. The properties of fresh and hardened blended mortars investigated include slump flow and compressive strength. The durability characteristics of cement materials incorporating the mineral admixtures under various physical and chemical causes of deterioration was investigated. The laboratory test results indicate that mechanical and durability properties of blended cement mortars have superior performance rather than ordinary cement mortars.

This experiment was undertaken for the purpose of investigation of relative durability about thirty sorts of the korean native wood and nine sorts of the wood destroying fungi Polystictus versicolor, Irpex consors. Poria vaporaria, Merulius lacrymans, Schizophyllum commune, Trametes pini, Lenzites betulina, Paxillus panuoides by means of a laboratory methods.
