Creep is a major parameter to represent long-term behavior of concrete structures concerning serviceability and durability. The effect of creep is recently taking account into crack resistance analysis of early-age concrete concerning durability evaluation. Since existing creep prediction models were proposed to predict creep for hardened concrete, most of them cannot consider effectively the information on microstructure formation and hydration developed in the early-age concrete. In this study, creep tests for early-age concrete made of the type I cement and the type V cement are carried out respectively and creep prediction models are evaluated for the prediction of creep behavior in early-age concrete. A creep prediction model is modified for the prediction of creep in early-age concrete and also verified by comparing prediction results with results of creep tests on early-age concrete.

Utilization of demolished-concrete as recycled aggregate has been researched for the purpose of substituing for insufficient natural aggregate, saving resources and protecting environment. There, however, are some problems that qualities of recycled aggregates are not only largely diverse, but also mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete decrease a little in comparison with those of natural aggregate concrete. In this study, the resistance to freezing and thawing of recycled aggregate concrete was highly different due to adhered mortar on recycled aggregate, and durability factor of concrete with NA SRA and DRA was decreased more than that of control concrete. However, durability factor of concrete with AA SRA was larger than that of control concrete.

Deicing agent affect concrete durability such as scaling, rebar corrosion strength of concrete. In this study, developed deicing agent satisfied with EL610 is evaluated to compare affects to concrete with no deicing agent and chloride-containing deicing agents. Deicing agents are applied to concrete surface during four months twice a week. Chloride content, chloride penetration depth and concrete strength are evaluated. After experiment, chloride content, chloride penetration depth of concrete are as follows. Chloride-containing deicing > Eco friendly deicer > No deicing agents. Concrete strength are also as follows. Chloride-containing deicing > Eco friendly deicer > No deicing agents. From experiment, developed deicing agent shows low chloride content in concrete and affect concrete strength little lower than chloride-containing deicing.

For nuclear concrete structures on the coast, the prevention and management against salt damage is needed because they are being under the influence of the sea water at all times. In general, the deterioration of the concrete is generated in concrete surface firstly and then extended into concrete gradually as its service life increases. Therefore, the protective layer on the concrete surface is needed to establish and manage the durability of concrete. To enhance the durability performance of the existing and new concrete, the development and application of a high-performance penetration sealer is needed. The sealer has to have the functions that are able to prevent the attack of the moisture, carbon dioxide, and harmful substance from the outside. Therefore, the aim of this study is to development of a sealer for the long service-life and waterproof performance of a nuclear concrete structures.

This study was conducted to evaluate durability of concrete which are increasingly demanded recently. Concrete durability properties incorporating waste foundry sand was performed with the variable of W/C ratio, Sand/Waste foundry sand ratio and Air entrainment-Non air entrainment. Cylinder specimens were made and subjected to freezing and thawing cycle at $-18^{\circ}C$ and $4^{\circ}C$. Dynamic modulus of elasticity were evaluated as F/T cycle increase. The results show that decreasing W/C ratio and AE concrete makes improved resistance of freezing and thawing improved. Especially, resistance of freezing and thawing is improved by Fine aggregate/Waste foundry sand ratio which is 50%, 25%, 0% in a row.

There is high possibility of steel corrosion on the reinforced concrete exposed to marine environment by chloride ion penetration. And it show a big difference of concrete durability under conditions of splash zone, tidal zone, and immersion zone. Therefore, in this paper, half-cell potential and chloride ion penetration depth was measured to evaluate the durability of slag concrete by marine exposure experiment. As a result, SC70 specimen showed no steel corrosion, regardless of the marine exposed conditions. Also, a deterrent effect on chloride ion penetration by replacement of slag in tidal zone and immersion zone could be confirmed.

The performance based design obligates quantitative assessment of required performances by means of transparent and objective science. In this design scheme, simulation of both macro and micro-scale structural behaviors is thought to be a powerful tool. This paper proposes a way how to unify the structural safety and serviceability check method and durability assessment of RC structures. Though component chemical-physical processes are crudely assumed, system dynamics of micro-scale pore structure formation and macro-scale defects and deformation of structures was shown as possible and promising approach in future. The authors understand that the unification of structural and durability design has just started. For further progress and development, predictive tool of structural behaviors from birth to death of concrete under any specified environment and load serves as an essential technicality.

This paper covers concrete durability made with portland cement type I and V, and granulated blast furnace slag blended cements 40 and 60%. Typical properties of cements and compressive strength development, drying shrinkage, carbonation, freezing and thawing properties of concretes were investigated. In addition, effects of CI penetration on various concretes with/without a freezing and thawing treatment were also studied. Portland cement type I and V were superior to the blended cement in the properties of compressive strength development, drying shrinkage, carbonation and freezing and thawing durability. In the respect of resistant of CI Blended cement showed better than the portland cement due to high permeability. But the blended cement with a freezing and thawing treatment presented a much decreased resistance of CI penetration.

It is important to decide the precise chloride diffusion coefficient in order to predict the durability plan of concrete structure chloride and prediction of remaining lifetime. However, the inland references are limited to the rapid test in laboratory. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the established data, which are restricted by chloride diffusion coefficient, and to examine the prediction of the concrete structure durability by an FEM interpretation and the chloride diffusion coefficient as a variable.

Presented in the paper are findings of a project that examined the effect of slag grade and cement source on the performance of concrete mixtures. Slag cement contents were 20, 40, and 60 percent of the total cementitious material content. Two grades of slag cement were examined (Gr. 100 and Gr. 120) along with two sources of Type I cement. Compressive strength, durability, and permeability were measured. The results showed that the cement source affected the early age strength of the mixtures. At 28 days of age, mixtures containing Gr. 120 slag cement had higher compressive strengths than mixtures containing Gr. 100 slag cement, but by 90 days of age, the trend reversed. As for the chloride ion penetrability, mixtures cast with Gr. 100 slag cement passed fewer coulombs at 28 and 90 days of age than similar mixtures containing Gr. 120 slag. Mixtures containing Gr. 120 slag had the greatest durability factors.
