Seaside concrete structure is deteriorated by chloride-ion, sulphate and salt cristalization in concrete pore. Therefore the amount of these chemical substance should be analyzed for evaluating the durability of seaside concrete structure. In this study, the amount of chloride-ion in concrete was surveyed in order to estimate the damage state of concrete structure within am influence of seawater.

It is generally referred that life cycle of concrete construction is depend on whether durability of concrete is obtained or not. Nevertheless, it has not been yet applied that new material and technology to improve durability of concrete such as seaside concrete construction. In this study, chemical agent which is capable of improving durability added to 2 types seaside concrete mixs and evaluated engineering properties such as slump, air content, setting time and compressive strength. Besides shrinkage crack with an restraint condition and chloride ion penetration tests were executed to measure resistance of concrete added chemical agent and then compared non-added. It was appeared that engineering properties and resistant for chlorides was possible to improved. But resistant for shrinkage crack was not noticeable improvement than non-added. Therefore it is necessary that more consideration and following study to improve durability aspect to shrinkage crack and chlorides resistant.

As iron corrosion by means of penetration of chlorides resulted in a serious deterioration of seaside and landfill concrete construction, it is urgently necessary for seaside construction to acquire watertightness and resistance for chloride-attack. Hence in this study, Si/Al liquor type hybrid-inorganic salt which was very effective compound for improving resistance for chloride-attack applied to mortar and then evaluated resistance for chloride-attack with curing(7, 14, 28, 56 days).

Performance for the resistant to chlorides penetration is required in order to increase durability of seaside construction. For this reason, it is important to acquire simultaneously watertightness, resistance for crack of concrete and chemical fixation effect of chloride in it. In this study, High durability promoting agents(HD) consist of inorganic salt and active components were applied to enhancing resistance for chloride ion penetration against concrete based on mix(composition of binder : OPC+SLG) of seaside construction. Tang's experimental method was utilized to investigate the resistances of chloride ion penetration of concrete such as chloride ion diffusion coefficient and penetration depth. It was confirmed that resistance of chloride ion penetration of concrete by 0.6% addition of HD was improved to $11.3^{\sim}20.5$% than non-added concrete.

Recent construction activities and maintenance of marine facilities have been accelerating to keep up with rapid economic growth in Korea. Marine concrete structures are exposed to salts an chloride from ocean environments. The corrosion of reinforcement steel caused by chloride-penetration into concrete may severely effect the durability of concrete structures. The objective of this research is to develop a durable concrete by investigating the corrosion resistance of various corrosion protection systems utilizing different water/cement ratio, silica fumes, corrosion inhibitors and etc. A tow-year verification test on various corrosion protection systems has been doing in the laboratory and at the seaside. Corrosion investigations on reinforcement steel are now under progress for more than 180 concrete specimen. Corrosion-related measurements include macrocell corrosion current, instant-off voltage between corroding and noncorroding reinforcement, chloride contents, the corroded surface areas on the reinforcement steel, and etc. A low level of corrosion is investigated on reinforcement steels in concrete specimen made with corrosion inhibitors or applied aqueous impregnating corrosion inhibitors into their surface, even though high chloride contents of concrete specimen.

Bridge structure is known as one of important infrafacilities for comfortable human life. Recent long-span bridges, such as Kwang-Ahn Grand bridge, S대-Hae Grand Bridge, Young-Jong Grand Bridge, etc, have been designed and constructed near the seaside without in-depth consideration of concrete durability problems, It is in particular noted that corrosion of reinforcement steel in concrete is very important for the durability enhancement of concrete structures. The objective of this experimental study is to investigate the corrosion degree of reinforcing steels in concrete specimens which are exposed to cyclic wet and dry saltwaters, and then to develop pertinent corrosion protection system such as rational cover depth, corrosion inhibitors, cathodic system for reinforced concrete bridges exposed to marine environment.

The RC buildings which are constructed on the seaside are followed by KBC(2016) to achieve the minimization of durability damage. To control the corrosion of the reinforced steel bar by salt attack, W/C should be under 0.4 and specified concrete strength is more than 35MPa in the concrete/building construction standard specification. Ready mixed concretes which have usually include the admixtures in Busan were tested to certify the salt attack durability. In the same specified concrete strength, remarkable salt attack durability was evaluated in comparison to OPC.

The present work proposes new engineering models for determining corrosion initiation time in concrete reinforcing steels in marine environment. The models are based on Fick's second law that is commonly used for chloride diffusion. The latter is based on deterministic analyses involving the most influencing parameters such as distance of the concrete structure from the seaside, depth of steel concrete cover, ambient temperature, relative humidity and the water-cement ratio. However, a realistic corrosion initiation time cannot be estimated because of the uncertainties associated to the different parameters of the models. Therefore a reliability approach using FORM/SORM method has been applied to develop the proposed engineering models integrating a limit state function and a reliability index β. As a result, the corrosion initiation time is expressed by new exponential engineering models where the uncertainties are associated to the model parameters. The main emerging result is a realistic decision tool for corrosion planning inspection.

In this study, we developed durability promoting chemical agent(HD) that simultaneously improved resistance for chloride attack and shrinkage of concrete. This agent as typed aqueous solution containing organic and inorganic compounds applied to concrete mix(Bx0.6%, 1.2%) of seaside construction using SLG and then evaluated the effect on the shrinkage and chloride attack of concrete. By the addition of HD, it was elucidated that resistance for chloride attack and shrinkage were improved above 50% and 33% respectively than non-added concrete(Plain). This performance was confirmed through the Field-test applied HD(Bx0.6%) such as RCD construction.
