Although concrete is believed to be a durable material, concrete structures have been degraded by severe environmental conditions such as the effects of chloride and chemical, abrasion, and other deterioration processes. Therefore, durability evaluation has been required to ensure the long term serviceability of structures located in chloride exposed environments. Recently, probability-based durability analysis and design have proven to be reliable for the service-life predictions of concrete structures. This approach has been successfully applied to durability estimation and design of concrete structures. However, currently it is difficult to find an appropriate method engineers can use to solve these probability-based diffusion problems. In this paper, computer software has been developed to facilitate probability-based durability analysis and design. This software predict the chloride diffusion using the Monte Carlo simulation method based on Fick's second law, and provides durability analysis and design solutions. A graphic user interface (GUI) is adapted for intuitive and easy use. The developed software is very useful not only for prediction of the service life but for the durability design of the concrete structures exposed to chloride environments.

The corrosion of steel reinforcing bar(re-bar) has been the major cause of the reinforced concrete deterioration. FRP(Fiber-reinforced polymer) reinforcing bar has emerged as one of the most promising and affordable solutions to the corrosion problems of steel reinforcement in structural concrete. In this study, long-term durability performance of FRP re-bar were evaluated. The mechanical and durability properties of two type of CFRP- and GFRP re-bar were investigated; the FRP re-bars were subjected to alkaline solution, acid solution, salt solution and deionized water. The mechanical and durability properties were investigated by performing tensile and short beam tests. Experimental results confirmed the desirable resistance of FRP re-bar to aggressive chemical environment.

그라운드 앵커 공법은 최근 깎기 비탈면과 교대 등의 보강을 목적으로 사용이 증가하고 있다. 그라운드 앵커는 구조물의 사용연한 이상의 내구성을 확보하여야 하지만 국내 고속도로에 시공된 대부분의 앵커에서 장기적인 긴장력 손실이 발생하여 안정성이 문제가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서는 실규모 모형실험을 통하여 긴장력 감소원인에 대한 분석을 수행하였다. 실험결과 물-결합재 비가 55%가 되는 시점부터 부착력의 감소현상이 나타났으며, 인장쐐기의 영향으로 강연선 파단강도의 14%의 감소현상이 나타났다. 지반강도, 앵커형식, 지하수의 유무에 따라 극한인발력이 차이를 보였으며, 특히 지하수의 유무는 그라우트의 강도 및 품질에 관여하여 앵커의 거동특성에 미치는 영향이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다. 장기거동에서는 초기 정착이 안정되는 시점까지 급격하게 하중이 감소하다가 이후에는 일정하게 긴장력이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

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. Although there is still a lack of relevant data, this approach has been successfully applied to some new concrete structures. 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 an important concrete structures in chloride containing environments. Also it may help to predict the service life of concrete structures under a given probability of failure.

Fly Ash in concrete is known to be effective in improving workability, the reduction of heat of hydration, increasing the long-term compressive strength, and improving durability. Recently, fly ash is consedered an essential material for the high-strength concrete. In this paper, investigations for the strength and workability characteristics was carried out when fly ash was used in the high-strength concrete. As the result, fly ash was effective in increasing the long-term compressive strength, but the short-term compressive strength was gradually decreased with increating fly ash contents. And also the use of superplasticzers was required for providing the proper workability when fly ash contents were increased. The optimum content of fly ash was about 10%.

Although there has been an upcoming recognition in the repairing reinforcement and remodeling of currently existing buildings with a regard to economic and resource saving effects of buildings roughly exposed to the open air for a long-term period, followed by a number of problems with the construction business operations that support economy-oriented projects within the limits of their short-term period durability, it is true that reasonable decisions of concrete performance are insufficient owing to the lack of proper history management for those existing buildings. This research attempted to comparatively analyze the compression strength together with investigation of carbonization depth and alkali concentration according to the passage of years on the subjects of aged buildings, and to provide basic data for remodeling and/or reconstruction of future construction structures by indirectly estimating durability lifetime expectancy according to carbonization phenomenon.

Harsh seawater environment is subdivided into marine atmosphere, splash zone, tidal zone, submerged zone and bottom of sea depending on the exposed part. Since corrosion rate depends on the conditions of the exposed parts, proper protection and maintenance for each parts are essential for long-term use of steel structures in seawater environment. For steel structures which were installed in Shiwha Lake, a special maintenance system is required to guarantee its long-term durability and safety. As the tidal power plant has recently been operated, the salinity has risen due to the rapid influx of seawater upstream into Sihwa Lake and the corrosion tendency of the structure is variable according to the water level fluctuation. In this study, corrosion properties of steel structures under water level fluctuation was evaluated by corrosion rate measurement, visual inspection and natural potential measurement and their durability and life management were discussed in view of the effect of variation in of seawater level fluctuations in Shihwa Lake.

In underground reinforced concrete structures, such as drainage structure, water and chloride ion penetrated into concrete through the cracks of concrete and its permeable property, cause the corrosion of reinforcing steel bar, which accelerates the expansive cracks and deterioration of concrete. It is necessary to control those deterioration of underground structure by improving its permeability and durability through the reasonable solutions in design, construction and materials. In the present study, fly ash concrete, which has good material properties in long-term period, is compared and studied with plain concrete using ordinary portland cement in terms of fundamental mechanical properties, permeability, drying shrinkage and durability. Also, the mix design and its properties of low permeable concrete using fly ash are reviewed. From this study, fly ash concrete can conctrol the penetration of water and chloride ion effectively by forming dense microstructure of concrete. Therefore, fly ash concrete may increase the long-term function, performance and serviceability of underground structures.
