대도시의 콘크리트 구조물은 주로 탄산화에 노출되고 이에따라 매립된 철근은 시간이 경과함에 따라 부식이 발생한다. 콘크리트 구조물의 조사 및 진단에서, 건전부의 탄산화 깊이가 주로 평가되며, 이를 근거로 내구수명이 평가된다. 그러나 일반적으로 교각과 같은 매스 콘크리트 구조물에서는 적절한 타설을 위하여 조인트를 설치하게 되며, 초기재령에서 균열이 쉽게 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 20년 경과된 국내 대도시의 교각 구조물을 대상으로 탄산화 깊이를 평가하였으며, 건전부, 균열부, 시공이음부와 같은 국부적인 환경을 고려하여 탄산화 거동을 분석하였다. 균열부 및 시공이음부의 탄산화 깊이는 건전부에 비하여 크게 증가하였으며, 피복두께가 작은 구조물에 대해서는 이러한 영향을 고려하는 것이 바람직하게 평가되었다. 또한 균열폭의 함수로 균열부 탄산화 깊이를 예측할 수 있는 기법을 제시하였으며, 기존의 실태조사 결과와 비교하여 그 적용성을 검증하였다.

Concrete carbonation is a prevalent phenomenon that leads to steel reinforcement corrosion in reinforced concrete (RC) structures, thereby decreasing their service life as well as durability. The process of carbonation results in a lower pH level of concrete, resulting in an acidic environment with a pH value below 12. This acidic environment initiates and accelerates the corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete, rendering it more susceptible to damage and ultimately weakening the overall structural integrity of the RC system. Lower pH values might cause damage to the protective coating of steel, also known as the passive film, thus speeding up the process of corrosion. It is essential to estimate the carbonation factor to reduce the deterioration in concrete structures. A lot of work has gone into developing a carbonation model that is precise and efficient that takes both internal and external factors into account. This study presents an ML-based adaptive-neuro fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) approach to predict the carbonation depth of fly ash (FA)-based concrete structures. Cement content, FA, water-cement ratio, relative humidity, duration, and CO2 level have been used as input parameters to develop the ANFIS model. Six performance indices have been used for finding the accuracy of the developed model and two analytical models. The outcome of the ANFIS model has also been compared with the other models used in this study. The prediction results show that the ANFIS model outperforms analytical models with R-value, MAE, RMSE, and Nash-Sutcliffe efficiency index values of 0.9951, 0.7255 mm, 1.2346 mm, and 0.9957, respectively. Surface plots and sensitivity analysis have also been performed to identify the repercussion of individual features on the carbonation depth of FA-based concrete structures. The developed ANFIS-based model is simple, easy to use, and cost-effective with good accuracy as compared to existing models.

전 세계적으로 콘크리트 구조물의 열화를 발생하는 가장 중요한 원인은 중성화와 염소이온이다. 대체적으로 많은 콘크리트 구조물에서 염소이온과 중성화로 인하여 철근이 부식되며 이에 대한 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 그러나 실구조물의 상황은 염소이온과 중성화가 복합적으로 발생함에도 불구하고 많은 연구들이 각각의 단일열화에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있으며 복합열화에 대한 연구는 매우 드문 상황이다. 본 연구는 2중 복합 매체에 대한 확산모델을 이용하여 중성화된 콘크리트의 염소이온 프로파일을 예측하고자 하였다. 실험결과에 의하여 중성화 깊이로부터 3∼5 mm영역에 염소이온의 농축현상이 발생하였으며 2중 복합 구조체에 적용할 수 있는 확산 방정식에 중성화된 콘크리트와 비중성화된 콘크리트의 시간의존적인 염소이온 확산 계수를 고려하여 내구수명예측에 반영하였다.

This study is a basic study on carbonation curing technology of concrete using supercritical CO₂, and carbonation curing was carried out by exposing concrete to supercritical CO₂ for a certain period of time. In the case of conventional carbonation curing, long-term curing was performed for several weeks by controlling the concentration of CO₂, but by using supercritical CO₂, more rapid carbonation curing was carried out using constant temperature and pressure conditions to improve durability through surface modification of concrete. This experiment was conducted with the goal of deriving the optimal carbonation curing conditions by measuring the carbonation depth by exposing concrete for a certain period of time to conditions above the supercritical level. As a result, it was confirmed that the carbonation depth increased as the curing time increased, and the curing time could be shortened compared to the carbonation curing according to the existing CO₂ concentration.

In this study, field survey of carbonation for RC column in city is carried out and carbonation behavior in sound, joint, and cracked concrete is also analyzed. Futhermore, probability of durability failure with time is calculated through considering probability variables such as concrete cover depth and carbonation depth which are obtained from field survey. The probability of durability failure in cracked concrete with considering crack width and time is also calculated and service life is predicted based on intended failure probability in domestic specification. Through this study, it is known that service life in a RC column is evaluated differently for local conditions and each service life is rapidly decreased with decrease in cover depth and increase in crack width.

This study measured the thickness and speculation coefficient of the coating for existing buildings and calculated the diffusion coefficient of the coating to predict the depth of carbonation through numerical analysis in order to evaluate the impact of the external finish and local environment. As a result, it was possible to predict the short-term and long-term carbonation depth of reinforced concrete buildings coated with coating film with considerable reliability.

Major deterioration in concrete structures are salt attack and carbonation. Especially severe problems due to carbonation occur in tile concrete structures of city, tunnel, underground structures. Cracks in concrete during service life including early age due to hydration heat and/or shrinkage accelerate the diffusion of concrete so that the deterioration is also accelerated. In this study, carbonation depths of both non-cracked concrete and cracked concrete are evaluated and weight change test and TGA are carried out. Through the tests, a relation between water-cement ratio and carbonation depth is derived and also carbonation increase rate is derived in the function of crack width.

Carbonation of concrete decreases durability of RC structures due to failure of passive film of rebar. Therefore, expecting carbonation depth is a governing parameter of service life prediction for RC structures. This study attempt to estimate carbonation depth quantitatively by using equivalent effective diffusion coefficient of $CO_2$.

In this research the remaining service life of the concrete due to the steel corrosion was predicted by three cases; causing carbonation, using sea sand, using deicing salts. In case of deterioration by carbonation, effective carbonation depth, effective coverage depth and relative humidity are considered for predicting method. In case of using sea sand, predicting method is made of rust growth equation from polarization resistance method. In case of using deicing salts, predicting method is made of transformation of Fick's law. Three methods are very useful in predicting service life of concrete.

Carbonation depth was verified in 40 points of two 57 years old concrete viaducts. Field testing (phenolphthalein spraying) was performed on the structures. Data obtained were statistically analyzed by the Kolmogrov-Smirnov's test, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA's test), and Fisher's method. The results revealed significant differences between maximum carbonation depths of different elements of the same concrete structure. Significant differences were also found in the carbonation of different concrete structures inserted in the same macroclimate. Microclimatic factors such as temperature and local humidity, sunshine, wind, wetting and drying cycles, among others, may have been responsible by the behavior of carbonation in concrete.
