Corrosion of reinforcement and deterioration of concrete short the lifetime of reinforced concrete structure and affect the safety of the structure. In particular, the corrosion of reinforcement causing the inner pressure of the interface between the concrete and reinforcement is known to significantly contribute to the premature deterioration of concrete structure. Several attempts have been made to predict the cracking time of the concrete structure. However, problems such as the lack of reproducibility of concrete tests and non-uniformity of materials have hampered thess kinds of studies. Thus, the mechanism of the concrete cracking due to reinforcement corrosion is in the way. This studymeasured the mechanical properties of corrosion products using the nano-indentation test method. Likewise, the critical thickness of corrosion products for the cracking of concrete cover was investigated using the finite element and experimental methods.

This study is performed for the purpose of obtaining the fundamental datum to analyse the cause of steel corrosion in concrete and establish the repair strategies of deteriorated reinforced concrete structures due to steel corrosion. To investigate the degree of concrete deterioration, soluble chloride content in harden concrete, the depth of carbonation, cover depth and compressive strength are measured. The progress of corrosion of concrete bridge is electrochemically evaluated. The result shows that in approximately 43% of the structures below -350mV(vs. CSE), the exessive chloride contents is a direct cause of steel corrosion in reinforced concrete structures.

The ribs of deformed bars can split the cover concrete by wedging action or shear off the concrete in front of the ribs. As slip of deformed bars increases, the rib face angle is flattened by the crushed concrete wedge, which reduces the rib face angle to a smaller bearing angle. The roles of bearing angle are explored to simulate this observation. Analytical expressions to determine bond strength for splitting and pullout failure are derived, where the bearing angle is a key variable. As the bearing angle is reduced, splitting strength decreases and shearing strength increases. When splitting strength becomes larger than shearing strength, the concrete key is supposed to be sheared off and the bearing angle is reduced with decreasing the splitting strength. As bars slip, bearing angle decreases continually so that splitting bond strength is maintained to be less than shearing bond strength. The bearing angle is found to play a key role in controlling the bond failure and determination of bond strength of ribbed reinforcing steel in concrete structures.

Delamination of cover concrete due to re-bar corrosion is a critical damage reducing structural safety of reinforced concrete structures. Therefore, it should be detected and evaluated to provide appropriate maintenance to recover structural integrity. Impact-echo method, which utilizes thickness vibration characteristics of delaminated concrete section, is effective for detection and evaluation of small areal size delamination. However, it may not be applicable for large areal size delamination in which flexural vibration modes are dominated. In this study, applicability of vibration mode shapes of delaminated concrete section is investigated for visualization of delamination region in concrete structures. Numerical and experimental modal tests are performed to estimate mode shapes of delaminated concrete section and linear absolute summation technique is proposed for effective visualization of delamination region based on estimated mode shapes.

In this study, accelerated corrosion tests were conducted on concrete specimens with and without accelerated carbonation beforehand for the purpose of elucidating the effects of carbonation, cover depth, and water-cement ratio (W/C) on the reinforcement corrosion. During testing, the corrosion current between the anode steel and cathode stainless steel was measured to continuously monitor the progress of corrosion throughout the test period, thereby investigating the mechanism of reinforcement corrosion and the relationship between corrosion and crack width, as well as other parameters.

Strength and Durability of reinforced concrete exposed at deteriorated environment are decreased by cover spatting and corrosion of reinforcement. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate capacity of strengthening axial member using admixture-modified mortar. To investigate the capacity of strengthened axial member, behavior and strength of strengthening specimens were compared with a monolithic basic specimen. Admixture-modified mortar was prepared with silica fume, zeolite, polymer as cement modifier. From the result of this experiment, strengthening specimens using polymer-modified mortar have apparrent strengthening capacity because of good flexural strength and tensile strength.

이 논문은 비정질 강섬유 및 일반 강섬유로 보강된 철근콘크리트 인장실험체를 피복두께와 철근 직경의 비에 따라 각 6개씩 제작하여 직접인장실험을 수행하고, 그 결과로부터 강섬유로 보강된 철근콘크리트 인장부재의 균열거동을 분석한 것이다. 실험 결과에 따르면 비정질 강섬유와 일반 강섬유로 보강된 콘크리트 모두 쪼갬균열의 발생과 진행을 제어하는 성능이 양호하며, 특히 비정질 강섬유로 보강된 콘크리트는 피복두께가 철근 직경의 2배 이상이면 쪼갬균열이 발생하지 않았다. 균열간격은 두가지 강섬유로 보강된 실험체 모두에서 피복두께가 두꺼워짐에 따라 증가하였으며, 현행 설계기준에서 규정하는 최대 및 평균 균열간격 식으로 계산한 것보다 비교적 작게 측정되었다. 실험으로부터 측정된 자료로부터 평균균열간격을 이용하여 최대균열간격 및 최소균열간격을 예측할 수 있는 상관관계식을 제안하였다.

콘크리트 구조물의 내부의 매립된 철근은 부동태 피막으로 인해 부식으로부터 보호된다고 알려져 있다. 구조물의 경제적인 내구수명 산정을 위해 부식 발생 시기를 지연시키거나 초기 부식 시점을 평가하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 3 가지 수준의 피복두께(60 mm, 45 mm, 30 mm), 물-시멘트 비(40.0%, 50.0%, 60.0%), 염화물 농도(0.0%, 3.5%, 7.0%)를 고려한 콘크리트 시편을 대상으로 부식 모니터링을 수행하였는데, 한천(Agar) 기반 소켓 형식 센서를 활용하여 OCP를 측정하였다. OCP 측정 시 습윤 조건에서는 전위가 감소하고 건조 조건에서는 감소된 전위가 일부 회복하는 거동을 확인하였다. 모든 물-시멘트 비에서 피복두께가 30 mm의 경우 가장 낮은 OCP값이 측정되었으며, 피복두께가 30 mm에서 45 mm로 증가할 때 빠르게 OCP가 회복하였다. 이는 피복두께가 염화물 이온의 침투에 효과적인 방어기구로 작용하기 때문이다. 염화물 농도가 증가함에 따라 물-시멘트 비의 영향보다 피복두께에 대한 영향이 더 지배적인 경향을 보이는 것으로 도출되었다. 시편의 해체 후 추가적인 모니터링과 염화물량의 평가를 수행하면 제안된 부식 모니터링 기법의 신뢰성을 높일 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Reinforced concrete flat plates consist of slabs supported directly on columns. The absence of beams makes these systems attractive due to advantages such as economical formwork, shorter construction time, less total building height with more clear space and architectural flexibility. Punching shear failure is usually the governing failure mode of flat plate structures. Punching failure is brittle in nature which induces more vulnerability to this type of structure. To analyze the flat plate behavior under punching shear, twelve finite element models of flat plate on a column with different parameters have been developed and verified with experimental results. The maximum range of variation of punching stress, obtained numerically, is within 10% of the experimental results. Additional finite element models have been developed to analyze the influence of integrity reinforcement, clear cover and column reinforcement. Variation of clear cover influences the punching capacity of flat plate. Proposed finite element model can be a substitute to mechanical model to understand the influence of clear cover. Variation of slab thickness along with column reinforcement has noteworthy impact on punching capacity. From the study it has been noted that integrity reinforcement can increase the punching capacity as much as 19 percent in terms of force and 101 percent in terms of deformation.

Numerical model was developed that simulates radionuclide (3H and 14C) transport modeling at the 2nd phase facility at the Wolsong LILW Disposal Center. Four scenarios were simulated with different assumptions about the integrity of the components of the barrier system. For the design case, the multi-barrier system was shown to be effective in diverting infiltration water around the vaults containing radioactive waste. Nevertheless, the volatile radionuclide 14C migrates outside the containment system and through the unsaturated zone, driven by gas diffusion. 3H is largely contained within the vaults where it decays, with small amounts being flushed out in the liquid state. Various scenarios were examined in which the integrity of the cover barrier system or that of the concrete were compromised. In the absence of any engineered barriers, 3H is washed out to the water table within the first 20 years. The release of 14C by gas diffusion is suppressed if percolation fluxes through the facility are high after a cover failure. However, the high fluxes lead to advective transport of 14C dissolved in the liquid state. The concrete container is an effective barrier, with approximately the same effectiveness as the cover.
