FRP re-bar in concrete structures could be used as a substitute of steel re-bars for that cases in which aggressive environment produce high steel corrosion, or lightweight is an important design factor, or transportation cost increase significantly with the weight of the materials. But FRP fibers have only linearly elastic stress-strain behavior; whereas, steel re-bar has linear elastic behavior up to the yield point followed by large plastic deformation and strain hardening. Thus, the current FRP re-bars are not suitable concrete reinforcement where a large amount of plastic deformation prior to collapse is required. The main objectives of this study in to evaluate the tensile behavior and the fracture mode of hybrid FRP re-bar. Fracture mode of hybrid FRP re-bar is unique. The only feature common to the failure of the hybrid FRP re-bars and the composite is the random fiber fracture and multilevel fracture of sleeve fibers, and the resin laceration behavior in both the sleeve and the core areas. Also, the result of the tensile and interlaminar shear stress test results of hybrid FRP re-bar can provide its excellent tensile strength-strain and interlaminar stress-strain behavior.

염해 환경에 노출된 철근 콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 산정은 일반적으로 철근의 위치까지 염소이온이 확산하여 임계농도에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간으로 추정해 오고 있다. 염소이온의 확산해석 방법은 많은 연구들이 콘크리트만을 고려한 염소이온 확산해석을 수행하여 염소이온의 분포를 예측하곤 철근 깊이에서의 염소이온 농도가 임계농도에 도달하는 시간을 내구수명 예측에 사용하는 방법을 제시하고 있다. 콘크리트에서의 염소이온의 확산 해석에서 콘크리트 내의 철근을 고려하지 않은 염소이온 확산해석은 실제 철근의 염소이온 확산 계수가 거의 '0'인 점을 고려하면 실제 염소이온의 확산 거동을 제대로 반영하지 못한 것이다. 따라서, 본 연구는 철근의 영향을 고려한 염소이온 확산 해석을 통하여 철근이 염소이온 확산 거동에 미치는 영향을 규명하고 합리적인 철근 부식 시작 시간을 예측하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는, 또한 시멘트 성분과 배합 특성에 영향을 받는 염소이온의 구속효과를 고려하여 확산해석을 수행하였으며, 염소이온 확산 해석의 주요 변수는 실제 구조물에서 염소이온의 확산해석에 영향을 미칠 것으로 예상되는 철근의 직경, 철근 덮개 크기, 시멘트 종류 그리고 배합 등의 다양한 변수를 고려하였으며 철근을 고려하지 않은 경우와 비교 분석하였다.

This study was performed to evaluate reinforced concrete durability in chloride attack environment under sustained load by the corrosion of reinforcing bars and the permeation of chloride ion. Generally, it is regarded that permeability of chloride ion is determined by the properties of concrete, but the effects of load which make alternation of concrete inner structure such as crack and so on should not neglected. In this study, it is shown that the relation between bending load on RC beam, deflection and crack of specimen, permeation of chloride ion, rating of re-bar corrosion, and the relation between compression load and permeation of chloride ion. Therefore the effects of load on permeation of chloride ion and re-bar corrosion are evaluated.

일반적으로 콘크리트의 공극수는 알칼리성이므로 철근의 부식이 방지된다. 그러나 염소이온이 침투하면 철근부식의 위험이 증가하게 된다. 특히 해양환경 콘크리트에서 염소이온의 공급이 활발하여 철근부식이 내구수명을 결정하는 중요한 인자가 되고 있다. 이 논문에서는 염소이온의 확산에 의한 이동을 고려하여, 해양환경에 노출된 사각형 콘크리트 교각에 대한 염소이온 침투해석을 수행하였다. 사각형 교각의 측면에 위치한 철근에 비하여 구석에 위치한 철근에 염소이온이 훨씬 빨리 축적됨을 확인하였다. 또 부식개시 임계농도에 도달하는데 걸리는 시간도 구석 철근의 위치가 측면 철근 보다 짧았다. 해석결과 임계 염소이온 농도에 걸리는 시간은 측면 철근에 비하여 절반 정도로 나타났으며, 따라서 사각형 교각의 염소이온에 대한 내구수명은 구석에 위치한 철근에 의해 결정되며 따라서 이차원 해석이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

An experimental investigation on the ruined RC bridge with 30 years old has been conducted to estimate the durabilities. The ruined RC bridge estimated in this study was located at Kyung-Bu Express Way. First, concrete strength and durability characteristics such as concrete resistivity, chloride content were estimated. Second, it was to test reinforcing corrosion embedded in slab of bridge. And, third, tensile strength and yield strength of reinforcing bar corroded and not corroded were estimated. This bridge inspection provides the most common cause of defects and deterioration and the results of this inspections give more specific information than those of laboratory inspections do.

Chloride penetration into concrete is the main cause of the steel corrosion in concrete structures exposed to chloride-rich environments. Protective surface coatings are increasingly being applied to concrete structures to reduce chloride penetration. In this study, the performance of various surface coatings was evaluated. Most coatings showed good results for the various tests of the performance evaluation. Surface coatings can delay deterioration such as chloride-induced reinforcing bar corrosion effectively.

The deterioration of concrete structure due to corrosion of the reinforcement has created big financial losses on the overall industries. The volume expansion of the corrosion products causes internal pressure to concrete wall around reinforcing bar. If the maximum principal stress induced by internal pressure exceeds the tensile strength of the concrete at any point of time, a crack forms at any point of material. Therefore, in terms of life assessment of concrete structure, it is very important to predict the amount of corrosion products which induces initial concrete cracking. With this objective, this paper proposes the critical amount of corrosion products at interface between reinforcement and concrete using finite element analysis. If an actual survey of corrosion rates could be made, the model might supply information for condition assessment of existing concrete structure. As the mechanical properties of corrosion product and instantaneous geometry of corroded steel are considered in the analysis, the value obtained will be more realistic.

Serviceability and durability of the concrete members can be seriously affected by the corrosion of steel rebar. Carbonation front and or chloride ingress can destroy the passive film on rebar and may set the corrosion (oxidation process). Depending on the level of oxidation (expansive corrosion products/rust) damage to the cover concrete takes place in the form of expansion, cracking and spalling or delamination. This makes the concrete unable to develop forces through bond and also become unprotected against further degradation from corrosion; and thus marks the end of service life for corrosion-affected structures. This paper presents an analytical model that predicts the weight loss of steel rebar and the corresponding time from onset of corrosion for the known corrosion rate and thus can be used for the determination of time to cover cracking in corrosion affected RC member. This model uses fully the thick-walled cylinder approach. The gradual crack propagation in radial directions (from inside) is considered when the circumferential tensile stresses at the inner surface of intact concrete have reached the tensile strength of concrete. The analysis is done separately with and without considering the stiffness of reinforcing steel and rust combine along with the assumption of zero residual strength of cracked concrete. The model accounts for the time required for corrosion products to fill a porous zone before they start inducing expansive pressure on the concrete surrounding the steel rebar. The capability of the model to produce the experimental trends is demonstrated by comparing the model's predictions with the results of experimental data published in the literature. The effect of considering the corroded reinforcing steel bar stiffness is demonstrated. A sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to show the influence of the various parameters. It has been found that material properties and their inter-relations significantly influence weight loss of rebar. Time to cover cracking from onset of corrosion for the same weight loss is influenced by corrosion rate and state of oxidation of corrosion product formed. Time to cover cracking from onset of corrosion is useful in making certain decisions pertaining to inspection, repair, rehabilitation, replacement and demolition of RC member/structure in corrosive environment.

Cement of three alkalinities (equivalent alkalinities of 0.36,0.52 and 0.97) was employed in fabricating a set of classical G109 type specimens. To-date, these have been subjected to a one week wet-one week dry cyclic pending using 15 w/o NaCl solution. At the end of the dry period, potential and macro-cell current were measured to indicate whether the top reinforcing steel was in the passive or active state. Once this bar became active, the specimen was autopsied and the extent of corrosion was documented. Subsequent to visual inspection, concrete powder samples were collected from the upper region of the top rebar trace; and at a certain times concrete cores were taken from non-reinforced specimens. Using these, determinations were made of (1) critical chloride concentration for corrosion initiation ($Cl_{th}^-$), (2) effective chloride diffusion coefficient ($D_e$), and (3) pore water alkalinity ($[OH^-]$). The pore water alkalinity was strongly related to the alkali content of cement that was used in the mix. The chloride concentration, ($Cl^-$), was greater at active than at passive sites, presumably as a consequence of electro migration and accumulation of these species at active site subsequent to corrosion initiation. Accordingly, ($Cl^-$) at passive sites was considered indicative of the threshold concentration fur corrosion initiation. The $Cl_{th}^-$ was increased with increasing Time-to-corrosion ($T_i$). Consequently, the HA(High Alkalinity) specimens exhibited the highest $Cl_{th}^-$ and the NA(Normal Alkalinity) was the least. This range exceeds what has previously been reported in North America. In addition, the effective diffusion coefficient, $D_e$, was about 40 percent lower for concrete prepared with the HA cement compared to the NA and LA(Low Alkalinity) ones.

매립된 철근의 부식이 진행될 경우, 부착강도 및 강성이 감소되며, 구조물의 열화가 발생하여 사용 수명이 단축된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 RC 부재의 부착특성에 대한 평가가 인위적으로 철근을 빠르게 부식시키는 방법을 통하여 지금까지 연구되어왔다. 그러나, 이러한 인위적인 부식방법은 실제 부식 상황과 일치하지 않으며, 결과적으로 실제 상황에서의 RC 부재에 대한 부식 가능성을 과대평가할 수 있다. 따라서, 본 연구는 인위적인 방법과 자연적인 방법에 의해 RC 부재를 부식시킴으로써 부착 강성의 차이를 평가하고자 하였다. 자연적인 부식의 경우, 부식면적 50%에서 취성파괴가 발생했으며, 부식면적 80%이상에서는 부착강도가 약 10%이상 감소하였다. 특히, 자연적 부식의 경우 낮은 부식수준에서 콘크리트의 열화가 발생하였다. 따라서 향후 부식에 따른 부재의 성능저하를 평가하고자 할 경우에는 인위적으로 부식시킨 시험체로부터 평가하는 것은 곤란하며 반드시 자연적으로 부식시킨 시험체를 사용하여 성능을 평가해야 한다고 판단된다.
