콘크리트의 탄산화를 진행시키는 가장 주요한 영향인자는 대기 중의 농도이다. 본 연구에서는 대기 중의 이산화탄소 농도에 따른 탄산화 진행 정도를 개발한 프로그램을 통하여 해석적으로 접근하였다. 또한 해석 프로그램을 통하여 이산화탄소 농도에 따른 내구수명을 산정하였다. 이산화탄소 표면농도가 0.1%인 경우도 탄산화 깊이가 50mm 정도로 나타났다. 콘크리트의 피복두께를 40mm를 유지한다면 이산화탄소 표면농도가 0.1%일 때 콘크리트의 내구수명은 67년으로 검토되었다.

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.

Chloride ion penetration and carbonation are the most important factors in the durability problems of reinforced concrete structures. Most of the existing studies on those subjects are focused on the no-crack concrete, though the existence of crack may strongly affect the chloride ion penetration and carbonation. To evaluate the influence of crack on the chloride ion penetration and carbonation and to assess the service life of reinforced concrete more accurately, finite volume analyses (FVA) were performed based on the FV mesh containing the ideal crack whose width is uniform along the depth. Analytical results show that the influence of crack width and depth is much more pronounced for the chloride ion penetration than for the carbonation.

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.

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.

Metakaolin (MK), which is increasingly being used to produce high performance concrete, is produced by calcining purified kaolinite between 650 and $700^{\circ}C$ in a rotary kiln. The carbonation resistance of metakaolin blended concrete is lower than that of control concrete. Hence, it is critical to consider carbonation durability for rationally using metakaolin in the concrete industry. This study presents microstructure modeling during the carbonation of metakaolin blended concrete. First, based on a blended hydration mo del, the amount of carbonatable substances and porosity are determined. Second, based on the chemical reactions between carbon dioxide and carbonatable substances, the reduction of concrete porosity due to carbonation is calculated. Furthermore, $CO_2$ diffusivity is evaluated considering the concrete composition and exposed environment. The carbonation depth of concrete is analyzed using a diffusion-based model. The proposed microstructure model takes into account the influences of concrete composition, concrete curing, and exposure condition on carbonation. The proposed model is useful as a predetermination tool for the evaluation of the carbonation service life of metakaolin blended concrete.

Carbonation is one of the most important factors causing the corrosion of reinforcement concrete. Nevertheless, experimental studies on the concrete carbonation have not been carried out sufficiently because of the slow process of carbonation process. Therefore, this study adopts an experimental system exploiting a vacuum instrument that has been recently developed to accelerate carbonation instead of existing experimental system to conduct rapid carbonation tests on Portland cement and fly-ash cement concretes. Test results revealed that, compared to water-cement ratio of 40%, the carbonation depth increases from 103% to 138% for an increase of water-cement ratio from 45% to 60%. These results are larger than the carbonation depths obtained by mathematical model, and such difference is increasing with larger water-cement ratios. The results also indicated that larger fly-ash contents lead to sharp increase of the carbonation depth, which is in agreement with previous experimental researches. The adoption of the new accelerated carbonation test system enabled to shorten effectively the time required to produce experimental data compared to the existing carbonation test method. The experimental data obtained in this study together with ongoing acquisition of data using the new carbonation test method are expected to contribute in the understanding of the carbonation process of concrete structures in Korea.

This study is part of the carbonation degree DB accumulation through quantitative analysis of carbonation depth, Ca(OH)₂ and CO₂ according to the type of finish and years of use of old concrete structures in order to predict the amount of CO₂ that can be absorbed through carbonation of concrete. To this end, the depth of carbonation of the concrete core specimen is measured using an indicator, and the dry amount of water combined with CO₂ in the sample is measured using a differential thermal gravimetric analyzer for samples in the carbonation area and non-carbonated area classified by the indicator, and the absorption compared to the weight of the sample. The amount of absorbed CO₂ was calculated. In addition, the degree of carbonation was calculated through quantitative comparison of Ca(OH)₂ in the carbonation section and non-carbonation section. In the future, we will continue to add the survey and analysis data of dismantled structures and use them as basic data for estimating the amount of carbon dioxide that can be absorbed according to the exposure conditions and years of use by concrete mix.

경량골재의 내부공극을 통한 탄산가스 유입으로 인해 경량골재콘크리트는 보통콘크리트에 비해 탄산화가 더 빠르게 진행되는 문제점을 극복하고자, 4가지 표면코팅제로 코팅된 경량골재를 사용한 콘크리트에 대하여 탄산화 저항성을 보통 경량골재콘크리트, 보통콘크리트와 비교 분석하였다. 코팅경량골재를 사용한 콘크리트가 보통 경량골재콘크리트보다 우수한 탄산화 저항성을 보였으며, 특히 발수제보다는 고분자계 코팅제를 사용하였을 때 더 우수한 저항성을 나타내었다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mechanical property and carbonation resistance of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate. In order to evaluate mechanical property and carbonation resistance, slump, compressive strength, and carbonation depth are tested. Slump of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate measured 120~125mm, which are lower than slump of NWAC. Compared to compressive strength of NWAC, compressive strength of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate showed a level of 82.8~95.9%. In carbonation resistance test, carbonation depth of concretes using surface treated lightweight aggregate measured 10.2~11.3mm, which are lower than carbonation depth of NWAC. As a result, it is found that compressive strength is decreased slightly but carbonation resistance is improved, in case of using surface treated lightweight aggregate.
