Chloride ingress into concrete followed by reinforcement corrosion and deterioration of concrete structures is a major problem for many structures under chloride attacks. Large-scale concrete structures directly exposed to seawater such as SeoHae Grand Bridge are increasingly constructed along the coast in Korea. It is necessary to investigate the environmental conditions of concrete structures exposed to chloride attacks. In this study, the air-borne chloride contents of highway bridges exposed to marine environment in Korea were measured.

본 연구에서는 남해안에 건설된 사용기간이 5~34년의 해상 콘크리트 교량의 염화물이온농도에 대한 실측데이터로부터 표면염화물이온농도를 추정하고, 기존에 제시된 시방서와 타 연구결과에서 제시한 값들의 타당성을 평가하였다. 그리고 해상 콘크리트 교량의 염해방지도장의 유무, 염화물이온농도, 탄산화 깊이 및 콘크리트 압축강도의 상관관계를 도출하여 상호 작용을 평가하였다. 연구결과에 의하면, 표면염화물이온농도는 간만대에서 KCI 2009, 물보라지역과 해상대기중에서 Cheong et al.(2005)의 제안한 값이 타당한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 해상 콘크리트 교량의 염해방지도장은 염화물이온의 침투, 탄산화 깊이 및 압축강도 저하 대한 방지효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 콘크리트의 압축 강도는 탄산화 깊이와 염화물이온농도의 증가에 따라 감소하였다.

Recent studies have highlighted the importance of accounting for aging and deterioration of bridges when estimating their seismic vulnerability. Effects of structural degradation of multiple bridge components, variations in bridge geometry, and comparison of different environmental exposure conditions have traditionally been ignored in the development of seismic fragility curves for aging concrete highway bridges. This study focuses on the degradation of multiple bridge components of a geometrically varying bridge class, as opposed to a single bridge sample, to arrive at time-dependent seismic bridge fragility curves. The effects of different exposure conditions are also explored to assess the impact of severity of the environment on bridge seismic vulnerability. The proposed methodology is demonstrated on a representative class of aging multi-span reinforced concrete girder bridges typical of the Central and Southeastern United States. The results reveal the importance of considering multiple deterioration mechanisms, including the significance of degrading elastomeric bearings along with the corroding reinforced concrete columns, in fragility modeling of aging bridge classes. Additionally, assessment of the relative severity of exposure to marine atmospheric, marine sea-splash and deicing salts, and shows 5%, 9% and 44% reduction, respectively, in the median value bridge fragility for the complete damage state relative to the as-built pristine structure.

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.

This study aims to investigate in the assessment of salt damage conditions in concrete structures under marine environment conditions. It aims also to improve the durability of new concrete bridge through applying the life prediction method of salt damaged bridges. As measuring chloride contents of these bridges on the southwest coastal area, it is shown that the average amount of chloride on these surfaces close to shore is $10.5kg/m^3$. This figure is much higher than that of the Standard Specification for Concrete($1.5kg/m^3{\sim}2.5kg/m^3$). In contrast, it is shown the average amount of chloride on these surfaces in tide zone is $13.1kg/m^3$. Its figure is much lower than that of the Standard Specification for Concrete($20kg/m^3$). And the life of bridges is estimated about 17 years. To improve the durability for salt damage, these bridges are applied to surface treatment method which the replacement rate of furnace slag is 60%. Under this condition, it is expected to be 110 years. Consequently, it is clear that the use of slag replacement rate, surface treatment agent, and anti-corrosion agent to control chloride penetration effects of a submerge-based concrete bridge will be required.

Recently long-span bridges, such as Kwang-Ahn Grand bridge, Seo-Hae Grand Bridge, Young-Jong Grand Bridge, etc, have been designed and constructed near the shore. It needs to maintain the durability of marine concrete structures which are exposed to severe chloride environments. It is well known that corrosion of reinforcement steels in concrete structure is the most important cause for the durability of concrete structure which can be controlled by systematic preparatory corrosion protection works for economic and safe infrastructures. Various corrosion protection systems have been used for the corrosion protection of reinforcement steels from detrimental chemical components such as chloride, sulphate and etc. Since chloride can be penetrated into concrete in a variety way, an effective method has to be adopted by taking into full economical aspects and technical data of each protection system. The objective of this experimental study is to investigate the corrosion behavior of reinforcing steel in laboratory concrete specimens which are exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwater, and then to develop pertinent corrosion protection system, such as corrosion inhibitors and cathodic protection for reinforced concrete bridges exposed to chloride environment. Resistance of various corrosion inhibitors and impressed current system have been experimentally evaluated under severe environmental conditions, and thus effective corrosion protection systems could have been Practically developed for future concrete construction.

해양환경에서 철근 콘크리트의 부식은 매우 심하며, 염해는 콘크리트 교량과 항만 구조물의 부식을 일으키는 주요 요인 중 하나이다. 특히 비말대 및 간만대의 수면 부분은 구조물의 안전과 수명의 관점에서 볼 때 매우 중요하다. 지난 수십 년간 토목, 건축분야에서 콘크리트구조물 부식을 억제하기 위한 방식법 중 음극방식(cathodic protection, CP)은 많은 발전을 이룩하였으며 이제 보편화되는 추세에 있다. 최근 해양환경에서 콘크리트구조물의 음극방식을 위해 아연 메쉬 희생양극법이 개발 소개되었으나 아직까지도 이에 대한 구체적 내용이 잘 알려지지 않은 상태이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 아연 메쉬 음극방식이 환경인자에 따라 콘크리트교각에 어떤 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 아연 메쉬와 철근의 거리에 따라 음극방식 효과를 측정하기 위하여 약 100cm의 파일 시험편에 10cm 세그먼트 철근 8개를 설치하였으며, 아연 메쉬 희생양극에 의한 음극방식의 설계에 관련된 정보를 얻고자 파일 시험편의 높이에 따른 음극방식 전위의 변화와 전류의 감소치를 측정하였다.

해상교량은 바다에 노출되기 때문에 많은 경우 본래의 설계수명을 다하지 못하고 조기에 열화된다. 이러한 콘크리트 열화는 다공성인 콘크리트 내부에 염분이 침투함으로써 철근부식을 야기하고, 부식된 철근은 보통 $6{\sim}10$배까지 부피가 팽창하면서 콘크리트에 균열을 일으키고 결국 탈락(박리)으로 이어진다. 이와 같은 철근부식과 균열발생의 가속화는 구조물의 심각한 손상과 궁극적으로 붕괴까지 이어질 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 피해를 막기 위해서는 콘크리트 내 철근부식의 정확한 이해가 필요하며, 부식발생의 정량화에 의한 예측은 물론 적절한 방식법을 적용해야한다. 음극방식법은 비교적 최근에 개발된 철근콘크리트 구조물의 방식법 중 하나이며 요즈음도 해외 여러 나라에서 이에 대한 방식시스템 연구가 활발하다. 본 연구에서는 해상교량이나 항만부두 구조물의 상판부에 대한 예비실험 성격으로 슬랩 시험편(40cm ${\ast}$ 30cm ${\ast}$ 18cm)을 채택하였다. 시험환경은 15% 염분과 온도 $40^{\circ}C$의 가속화된 해양환경이었으며, 시험 기간 동안 주기적인 건습 반복을 실시하였다. 방식시험편은 음극방식 기술의 하나인 Zn-mesh에 의한 희생양극식을 채택하였다. 연구내용으로는 음극방식에 의한 방식성능을 관찰하였으며 신설구조물과 보수구조물에 대한 방식 효과를 비교하였다.
