PURPOSES : The use of roller-compacted concrete pavement (RCCP) is an environmentally friendly method of construction that utilizes the aggregate interlock effect by means of a hydration reaction and roller compacting, demonstrating a superb structural performance with a relatively small unit water content and unit cement content. However, even if an excellent structural performance was secured through a previous study, the verification research on the environmental load and long-term durability was conducted under unsatisfactory conditions. In order to secure longterm durability, the construction of an appropriate internal air-void structure is required. In this study, a method of improving the long-term durability of RCCP will be suggested by analyzing the internal air-void structure and relevant durability of roller-compacted concrete. METHODS : The method of improving the long-term durability involves measurements of the air content, air voids, and air-spacing factor in RCCP that experiences a change in terms of the kind of air-entraining agent and chemical admixture proportions. This test should be conducted on the basis of test criteria such as ASTM C 457, 672, and KS F 2456. RESULTS : Freezing, thawing, and scaling resistance tests of roller compacted concrete without a chemical admixture showed that it was weak. However, as a result of conducting air entraining (AE) with an AE agent, a large amount of air was distributed with a range of 2~3%, and an air void spacing factor ranging from 200 to $300{\mu}m$ (close to $250{\mu}m$) coming from PCA was secured. Accordingly, the freezing and thawing resistance was improved, with a relative dynamic elastic modulus of more than 80%, and the scaling resistance was improved under the appropriate AE agent content rate. CONCLUSIONS : The long-term durability of RCCP has a direct relationship with the air-void spacing factor, and it can be secured only by ensuring the air void spacing factor through air entraining with the inclusion of an AE agent.

Addition of latex to concrete is known to increase its durability and permeability. The purpose of this study is to analyze air void systems in latex-modified concretes using a reasonable and objective method of image analysis with such experimental variables as water-cement (w/c) ratios, latex contents (0%, 15%) and cement types (ordinary portland cement (OPC), high-early strength (HES) cement and very-early strength (VES) cement). The results are analyzed by spacing factor, air volume (content) after hardening, air void distribution and structure. Additionally, air void systems and permeability of latex-modified concrete (LMC) are compared by a correlation analysis. The results are as follows. The LMC of the same w/c ratio showed better air entraining (AE) effect than OPC with AE water reducer. The VES-LMC showed that the quantity of entrained air below $100{\mu}m$ increased more than four times. For the case of HES-LMC, microscopic entrained air between the range of 50 to $500{\mu}m$ increased greater than 7 times even in the absence of anti-foamer. Although spacing factor was measured rather low, the permeability of latex-modified concrete was good. It is construed that air void system does not have a considerable effect on the property of latex-modified concrete, but latex film (membrane) has a definite influence on the durability of LMC.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify the causes of surface scaling at L-shoulder concrete structure. METHODS : From the literature reviews, mechanisms of frost damage were studied and material properties including strength, air void, spacing factor and scaling resistance of L-shoulder concrete structure were analyzed using core specimens taken by real fields. RESULTS : The spacing factor of air void has relatively high correlation of surface conditions : lower spacing factor at good surfacing condition and vice versa. If the compressive strength is high, even thought spacing factor does not reach the threshold value of reasonable durability, the surface scaling resistance shows higher value. Based on these test results, the compressive strength also provide positive effect on the surface scaling resistance. CONCLUSIONS : The main causes of surface scaling of L-shoulder could be summarized as unsuitable aid void amount and poor quality of air void structure. Secondly, although the compressive strength is not the governing factor of durability, but it shows the positive effect on the surface scaling resistance.

Air voids existed in hardened concrete have an important influence on concrete deterioration such as carbonation, freezing and thawing, and corrosion of embedded steel in concrete. Therefore it is very significant to investigate the pore structure of system(size, number and continuity of air voids) to solve the reason caused concrete deterioration. The purpose of this study is to develop the standard method of measuring air voids which affect properties in hardened concrete using image analyzing system. This paper presents the settlement of rapid and exact experimental method which extracts fine bubbles, calculates the number of air voids, and determines air-void distribution using image analyzing system with computer.

The air-void is known to be one of the influencing factors for estimating long-term performance of asphalt concrete. Most of all, confirming air void or density of pavement layer is important for quality control of field compaction level of asphalt concrete pavement. In this study, a non-nuclear type non-destructive density gage (NDDG) was used to estimate compacted air-voids of asphalt pavement as a non-destructive test method. Asphalt concrete slab specimens were prepared using 6 types of asphalt mixes in laboratory (lab) for lab NDDG test. Four different base structure materials were used to find out if there were any differences due to the type of base structure materials. The actual air-voids and NDDG air-voids were measured from 6 asphalt concrete slabs. Four sections of field asphalt pavements were tested using the NDDG, and actual air voids were also measured from field cores taken from the site where the NDDG air-void was measured. From lab and field experimental tests, it was found that the air-voids obtained by NDDG were not the same as the actual air-voids measured from the asphalt concrete specimen. However, it was possible to estimate air voids based on the relationship obtained from regression analysis between actual and NDDG air voids. The predicted air-voids based on the NDDG air-voids obtained from 50mm depth were found to be reliable levels with $R^2{\fallingdotseq}0.9$. Therefore, it was concluded that the air-voids obtained from NDDG could be used to estimate actual air-voids in the field asphalt pavement with a relatively high coefficient of determination.

초속경 LMC(Very-Early Strength Latex-Modified Concrete ; VES-LMC)는 작업성, 강도발현 및 장기 내구성 측면에서 콘크리트 타설 후 3시간 이내에 교통개방을 가능하게 할 목적으로 개발되었고, 교량바닥판 긴급보수 공사에 유용하게 사용되고 있다. 그러나 초속경 LMC에서 라텍스의 사용이 콘크리트의 내구성은 향상시키지만 다량의 갇힌 공기를 양산한다는 단점이 있다. 따라서 취약한 공극구조를 개선하기 위해서는 특별한 방법이 필요하며, 본 논문에서는 울트라파인 플라이 애시가 사용되었다. UFFA VES-LMC의 공기량은 재령 1일에 포졸란 반응의 대부분이 발생하여 재령 1일 공기량이 경화전 공기량보다 저하되었다. 또한 재령 28일 공기량은 재령 1일 공기량의 공극구조와 동일하게 나타나, 포졸란 반응에 의해 콘크리트의 전체 공기량이 감소함을 확인하였다. 수산화칼슘의 첨가는 200 ${\mu}m$이하 크기의 연행공기를 현저하게 증가시키고, UFFA를 15%이상 사용하면 간격계수를 200 ${\mu}m$ 이하까지 확보할 수 있어 VES-LMC의 공극구조 개선에 매우 효과적인 것으로 나타났다.

Since the mechanism of chloride diffusion and its ratio in concrete depend on structural conditions and concrete as a micro-structure, if these are analyzed quantitatively, the long-term ageing of structures can be predicted. Although, a quantitative analysis of concrete micro-structure, in which the results are affected by various parameters, is very difficult, this can be done indirectly by the durability test of concrete. In this study, the compressive strength, void ratio and air permeability of concrete. In this study, the compressive strength, void ratio and air permeability of concrete are chosen as the parameters in concrete durability test, and these effects on test results are analysed according to changes of mixing properties. The relationships between parameters and chloride diffusion velocity is used for prediction models of chloride diffusion. The developed prediction models for the chloride diffusion according to mixing and physical properties, can be used to estimate the service life and corrosion initiation of reinforcing bars in marine structures.

라텍스개질 콘크리트는 라텍스의 첨가로 인하여 콘크리트의 내구성을 개선하는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 투수저항성이 크게 향상되는 것으로 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 SBR 라텍스 혼입에 따른 콘크리트 내부 공극 구조의 변화를 연구하고자 화상분석법을 이용하여 라텍스개질 콘크리트의 W/C비, 라텍스 함량, 시멘트 종류에 변화를 주어 간격계수, 경화 후 공기량, 공극 직경에 따른 공극 분포 및 공극 구조 상태 분석 등을 파악하였다. 또한, 라텍스 첨가에 따른 내부 공극 구조 특성과 투수저항성과의 상관성을 비교하였다. 라텍스개질 콘크리트는 내부 공극 분석 결과, 동일 물-시멘트비 조건에서 AE감수제를 사용한 OPC에 비해 더 우수한 연행공극 효과가 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 초속경시멘트는 $100{\mu}m$ 미만의 연행공극의 수가 4배 이상 증가하였다. 조강 시멘트는 SBR 라텍스로 인하여 $50{\sim}500{\mu}m$ 범위의 미세 연행 공기량이 약 7배 이상 증가되는 현상을 나타내었다. 그러나 투수성에 있어서는 낮은 간격계수에도 불구하고 높은 투수저항 특성을 나타내었다. 내구성에 있어서 라텍스개질 콘크리트에서는 공극 구조의 영향보다는 라텍스 폴리머 필름에 의한 영향이 더 큰 것으로 판단되었다.

경화 후 콘크리트 내부 공극은 간격계수로 특정지어질 수 있으며 이는 동결융해 저항성, 표면박리 저항성 그리고 투수성과 같은 콘크리트의 내구성에 매우 중요한 영향을 주게 된다. ASTM에 규정되어 있는 리니어트래버스방법과 수정포인트카운트 방법은 이러한 콘크리트의 공극 구조를 분석하기 위하여 사용되어져 왔다. 그러나, 이들 방법은 많은 시간과 노력을 필요로 하며 반복측정성 또한 신뢰성이 높지 못한 단점을 가지고 있다. 화상분석방법은 미세현미경, 디지털카메라 그리고 컴퓨터 프로그램을 이용하여 경화 후 콘크리트의 내부 공극 구조에 활용되어 질 수 있는 방법이다. 본 연구의 목적은 화상분석법의 개발과 기존의 ASTM방법에 의한 결과를 비교 분석하여 사용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 공기량과 공극분포, 공극 구조 및 간격계수와 연관성을 분석하였다. 실험적 변수는 공기연행제의 첨가률에 따른 공기량 변화와 시편 깊이에 따른 공극 구조를 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과 화상분석기법을 사용할 경우에도 간격계수의 산출이 가능하였으며 또한, 공기량, 공극 크기분포, 공극 구조 등을 분석할 수 있었다.
