Pavement concrete subjected to severe environmental condition may be vulnerable to frost attack practically where de-icing chemicals are used. This study focused on the investigation of durability characteristics of pavement concrete incorporation polypropylene fibers and application feasibility of these into the pavements of local roads and highway. A series of labortory tests were performed with main experimental variable such as fiber types, fiber contents. and type of concrete mix. The test of compressive strength was executed as primary tests, before the durability tests such as a scaling resistance were performed. De-icing salt resistance test was progressed by recycling freeze and thaw in the presence of a 4% calcium chloride solution. The deteriorated surfaces were rated by visual inspection and the loss weight were measured at every 5 cycles.

The basic prediction model was constructed to obtain optimal maintenance method for concrete structure under marine environment by exploring the mechanism of mono and combined deterioration in lab. This model was planned to be upgraded with data acquired from several exposure specimens under same environment as structures. The computer program developed to give useful guidance observer would be improved. Several repair materials and repair construction methods applied to exposure specimens will be tested for its performance of prohibit salt attack and freezing & thawing action during experimental period about ten years. All of these data could be available to complete the prediction system. The manager will be able to use the system for optimal maintenance of marine concrete structures.

Airborne chlorides is moved to inland by sea wind and attach to the surface of concrete then penetrated into concrete. In addition, concrete structures are greatly affected by salt attack primarily due to airborne chlorides like it can be seen through the corrosion of rebar. Therefore, it is important to review the relationship among airborne, surface and penetrated chlorides. In this study, airborne, surface and penetrated chlorides were examined in terms of surface roughness of concrete. The results showed that penetrated and surface chlorides have close relationship with surface roughness of concrete.

The properties of concrete produced by ready mixed concrete company in Busan were measured. Because the concrete was mixed with blast furnace slag and fly ash etc., the compressive, tensile strength and chloride ion diffusion coefficient were lower than OPC concrete even though the specified concrete strength was same. If the durability about salt attack were satisfied, the concrete of lower specified concrete strength would be adopted to concrete mixing design. FEM analysis was carried out to predict the life time expectancy.

Chloride ingress is a common cause of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. Modeling the chloride ingress is an important basis for designing reinforced concrete structures and for assessing the reliability of an existing structure. The modelling is also needed for predicting the deterioration of a reinforced structure. This paper presents an approach for the probabilistic modeling of the chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcement steel in concrete structures that takes into account the uncertainties in the physical models. The parameters of the models are modeled as random variables and the distribution of the corrosion time and probability of corrosion are determined by using Monte Carlo simulation. The predictions of the proposed model is very effective to do the decision-making about initiation time and deterioration degree.

For nuclear concrete structures on the coast, the prevention and management against salt damage is needed because they are being under the influence of the sea water at all times. In general, the deterioration of the concrete is generated in concrete surface firstly and then extended into concrete gradually as its service life increases. Therefore, the protective layer on the concrete surface is needed to establish and manage the durability of concrete. To enhance the durability performance of the existing and new concrete, the development and application of a high-performance penetration sealer is needed. The sealer has to have the functions that are able to prevent the attack of the moisture, carbon dioxide, and harmful substance from the outside. Therefore, the aim of this study is to development of a sealer for the long service-life and waterproof performance of a nuclear concrete structures.

Concrete structures in the seashore are greatly affected by salt attack primarily due to airborne chlorides like it can be seen through the corrosion of rebar. This study intends to investigate characteristics on the salinity of the airborne chlorides in terms of areas. Salinity measurement devices were installed at 27 areas along with seashore throughout the country. The area index for airborne chlorides were established according to the measurements. In Gochang and Taean area showed higher value of area index over 10. In addition, the Eastern coast showed higher index compared to the Western and Southern coast.

In this study, the repair method using PVA fiber reinforced mortar evaluated on durability performance. Test of salt injury, carbonation, freezing-thawing, chemical attack, permeability was performed As for the test results, it was found that durability performance of the repair method using PVA fiber mortar showed more better than the existing repair method. Therefore, appling on the repair method using PVA fiber reinforced mortar, the repaired concrete structures can be increased to service life.
