Metakaolin, a dehydroxylated product of the mineral kaolinite, is one of the most valuable admixtures for high-performance concrete applications, including constructing reinforced concrete bridges and impact- and fire-resistant structures. Concretes produced using metakaolin become more homogeneous and denser compared to normal-strength concrete. Yet, these changes cause a change of volume throughout hardening, and increase the brittleness of hardened concrete significantly. In order to examine how the use of metakaolin affects the fracture and mechanical behavior of high-performance concrete we produced concretes using a range of water to binder ratio (0.42, 0.35 and 0.28) at three different weight fractions of metakaolin replacement (8%, 16% and 24%). The results showed that the rigidity of concretes increased with using 8% and 16% metakaolin, while it decreased in all series with 24% of metakaolin replacement. Similar effect has also been observed for other mechanical properties. While the peak loads in load-displacement curves of concretes decreased significantly with increasing water to binder ratio, this effect have been found to be diminished by using metakaolin. Pore structure analysis through mercury intrusion porosimetry test showed that the addition of metakaolin decreased the critical pore size of paste phases of concrete, and increasing the amount of metakaolin reduced the total porosity for the specimens with low water to binder ratios in particular. To determine the optimal values of water to binder ratio and metakaolin content in producing high-strength and high-performance concrete we applied a multi-objective optimization, where several responses were simultaneously assessed to find the best solution for each parameter.

The corrosion of steel rebar embedded in the coastal areas is corroding once the chloride ions ingress through the pores of the concrete. Therefore, in the present study, a 100 ㎛ thick Al and Zn coating was deposited by an arc thermal spray process onto the steel. The corrosion studies of these deposited coatings were assessed in 3.5 wt.% NaCl contaminated concrete pore (CP) solution with immersion periods. The results show that the Al coating is more corrosion resistance compared to the Zn coating attributed to the formation of gibbsite (γ-Al(OH)₃) whereas Zn coating exhibits Zn(OH)₂ onto the coating surface as passive layer. The Zn(OH)₂ is readily soluble in an alkaline solution. Alternatively, γ-Al(OH)₃ on the Al coating surface is less solubility in the alkaline pH, which further provides barrier protection against corrosion.

철근의 부식을 유발하는 임계 염소이온량에 대한 연구는 콘크리트 구조물의 건전성을 판단하고 내구성 설계 기법에 필요한 핵심적인 재료 물성치 임에도 그값이 아직도 모호한 실정이다. 임계 염소이온량에 대한 대부분의 문헌들은 임의의 시간에 실험적 방법에 의하여 전 염소이온량을 구하는데 집중하였다 또한, 다수의 문헌들은 대다수의 콘크리트에서 탄산화가 진행되고 있음에도 비탄산화된 콘크리트를 대상으로 실험하여 임계 염소이온량을 결정하고 있다. 그러나, 임계 염소이온량은 시멘트량, 시멘트계 재료의 종류, 염소이온의 고정화, 수산기이온 등과 같은 다양한 인자에 의하여 지배된다. 그러므로 다양한 배합조건에서 이러한 인자들을 고려할 수 있는 단일화된 해석적 기법의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 이러한 다양한 요인을 고려하여 임계 염소이온량의 해석적 기법을 개발하는 것이다. 배합 조건, 노출 환경, 공극수의 화학적 발현 특성, 탄산화 등과 같은 다양한 인자들이 고려되었다. Gouda의 실험적 결과인 공극수내의 $[Cl^-]/[OH^-]$의 비율을 토대로 임계 염소이온량을 구할 수 있는 해석 기법이 정립되었다. 이는 시멘트계 재료의 수화 시뮬레이션 프로그램인 HYMOSTRUC을 이용하여 질량 단위로 구해졌으며 발표된 실험적 결과 및 관련코드와 비교되었다. 본 연구의 접근 방법은 해사 혹은 해수와 같은 염소이온의 도입원 조건에 따라서 임계 염소이온량을 결정할 수 있는 합리적 해를 제공해줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This research investigates the characteristics of chloride fixation in non-sintering cement(NSC) matrix. NSC was manufactured by adding phosphogypsum and slack lime to granulated blast furnace slag as sulfate and alkali activators. As a result, the concentration of chloride ion in pore solution of NSC-solidified matrix is more low than that of OPC-solidified matrix containing the same chloride content in cement paste. Also, the concentration of chloride ion in pore solution of NSC-solidified matrix is similar with that of BSC-solidified matrix containing the same chloride content in cement paste.

The high alkaline property in the concrete pore solution protects the embedded steel in concrete from corrosion due to aggressive ions attack. However, a continuous supply of those ions, in particular, chlorides altogether with a pH fall in electrochemical reaction on the steel surface eventually depassivate the steel to corrode. To mitigate chloride-induced corrosion in concrete structures, finely grained mineral admixtures, for example, pulverized fuel ash (PFA), ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) and silica fume (SF) have been often advised to replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) partially as binder. A consistent assessment of those partial replacements has been rarely performed with respect to the resistance of each binder to corrosion, although the studies for each binder were extensively looked into in a way of measuring the corrosion rate, influence of microstructure or chemistry of chlorides ions with cement hydrations. The paper studies the behavior of steel corrosion, chloride transport, pore structure and buffering capacity of those cementitious binders. The corrosion rate of steel in mortars of OPC, 30% PFA, 60% GGBS and 10% SF respectively, with chloride in cast ranging from 0.0 to 3.0% by weight of binder was measured at 7, 28 and 150 days to determine the chloride threshold level and the rate of corrosion propagation, using the anodic polarization technique. Mercury intrusion porosimetry was also applied to cement pastes of each binder at 7 and 28 days to ensure the development of pore structure. Finally, the release rate of bound chlorides (i.e. buffering capacity) was measured at 150 days. The chloride threshold level was determined assuming that the corrosion rate is beyond 1-2 mA/$m^3$ at corrosion and the order of the level was OPC > 10% SF > 60% GGBS > 30% PFA. Mercury intrusion porosimetry showed that 10% SF paste produced the most dense pore structure, followed by 60% GGBS, 30% PFA and OPC pastes, respectively. It was found that OPC itself is beneficial in resisting to corrosion initiation, but use of pozzolanic materials as binders shows more resistance to chloride transport into concrete, thus delay the onset of corrosion.

Hydration products formed on the steel surface may impose the resistance to corrosion of steel when a concrete is exposed to a salt environment. In the present study, ordinary Portland cement (OPC), calcium aluminate cement (CAC) and calcium hydroxide are applied as coating materials on the steel surface to consider the hydrations of each binder at corrosion. Corrosion is measured in terms of the corrosion potential and galvanic current to detect the effects in mitigating the corrosion behavior.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mix design of pH reducing cement concrete which can be used for environment-friendly concrete. Cement pastes and concretes are prepared with water-binder ratios and various admixtures such as blast-furnace slag, fly ash and recycled cement, and tested for compressive strength and pH. pH is measured through pore solution expressed from hydrated cement paste by special apparatus. From the test results, regardless of water-binder ratio, The pH of expressed pore solution from hydrated cement paste which is made of ordinary portland cement with blast-furnace slag, fly ash is decreased with increasing of admixtures content, and compressive strength is also slightly improved. The compressive strength of cement paste made of recycled cement which is burnt at $1000^{\circ}C$, for 2 hours is considerably increased compared with that of none-burnt recycled cement due to restoration of hydraulic property, but pH is a little higher. Porous concrete with ordinary portland cement has high pH in the range of 12.22 to 12.59, however, that is reduced to the range of 8.95 to 10.39 by carbonation at the surface of porous concrete. The pH reduction of porous concrete is possible by various admixture addition, however their degrees are very slight. Therefore, to reduce the pH considerably, carbonation method of porous concrete is better in pH reduction methods for plant survival condition of pH of 9.0 or less. In this study, it is apparent that pH for the environment-friendly porous concrete products used in the construction field can be suppressed by this carbonation method and various admixtures addition.
