Many concrete structures have suffered from carbonation or chloride ion diffusion induced reinforcement corrosion, and a number of studies have been done on these topics. Many studies were mostly confined to the single deterioration of carbonation or chloride ion, although the environment actually presents a combined condition. This paper tried to develop the approach to compute re-diffusion of de-sorbed chloride due to carbonation of concrete. This is a key for successful combined deterioration model of carbonation and chloride. It is thought that this paper can contribute to express mathematically chloride enrichment and re-diffusion of chloride at front of carbonation.

Generally, concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials, because of its good durability to cost ratio. However, when subjected to severe environments its durability can significantly decline due to various harmful conditions. In this article, we would like to investigate a chloride ion diffusion of cement matrix with inert filler, which ground calcium carbonate(GCC). For the experimental results of the chloride ion diffusion, as the addition of GCC makes decreasing the permeability by micro-filler effect, the matrix of 5-15% ratio of replacement are superior to the GCC0 mortar matrix with respect to durability of cement matrix in this scope.

The properties of concrete produced by ready mixed concrete company in Busan were tested. Because the concrete was mixed with blast furnace slag and fly ash, the compressive strength and chloride ion diffusion coefficient were lower than OPC concrete even though the specified concrete strength was same. If the durability about salt attack were satisfied, the concrete of lower specified concrete strength would be adopted to concrete mixing design.

This study arranged the result corrosion inhibition using Nano-silica for efficient prevention to diffusion of chloride ion. For the results, significant difference was not found on slump and air content, and there were superior effect to preventing diffusion of chloride ion on hardened concrete. It seemed to be Nano-silica prevented diffusion of chloride ion.

The test results on the deterioration process of concrete under single and combined action of chloride penetration have been obtained. Within the test period of 15 weeks, it is seen that the internally penetrated chloride ion contents are slightly less in the combined action of NaCI and $Na_2SO_4$ than the single action of NaCI. Also the theoretical prediction of chloride penetration based on measured diffusion coefficient agress well with the test data of single deterioration process but disagress with that of combined process. Therefore it should be needed that improved chloride diffusion model for the combined deterioration process.

The studies on chloride diffusion of concrete have been done so far by many researchers. However, there are few studies on the effects of other attacks, like carbonation, on chloride diffusion properties. In this study, the experiments are carried out focusing on this by varying cement type, water to cement ratio and replacement of fly ash of concrete. The results show that carbonation attacks do not affect greatly chloride diffusion properties of plain concrete, while the different tendencies are exhibited for fly ash concrete. Therefore, it is desirable to consider the effects of carbonation attacks on the chloride diffusion model to predict accurately the penetration of chloride ion fly ash is partially replaced for cement.

This study were predicted the corrosion threshold reached at steel reinforcement in latex modified concrete(LMC) which were applied the agricultural hydraulic concrete structures. Accelerated testing was accomplished to the evaluate the diffusion coefficient of LMC mix, and the time dependent constants of diffusion. Also, the average chloride diffusion coefficient was estimated. From the average chloride ion diffusion coefficient, the time which critical chloride contents at depth of reinforcement steel was estimated. Test results indicated that the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were effected on the mix proportion factor including cement contents, latex content, and water-cement ratio. Especially, the average chloride diffusion coefficient, the corrosion threshold reached at reinforcement in LMC were affected by the all mix proportion factor.

In this study, a method to evaluate diffusion coefficient of chloride ion in cracked concrete is proposed. For cracked concrete having either anisotropic or isotropic crack network, each crack of saturated concrete is considered as a V shape crack, and an effective diffusion coefficient is expressed with diffusion coefficients of cracked part and noncracked part and a so-called crack spacing factor. A comparison with experimental results shows that the diffusion coefficient for cracked concrete is accurately predicted by the effective diffusion coefficient. Prediction results also show that the cracks in concrete markedly change the diffusion properties and accelerate penetration of drifting species. The method in this paper can be effectively used to consider the effect of cracks on concrete diffusion coefficient of cracked concrete.

Recently, the corrosion of concrete structures has received great attention related with the deterioration of sea-side structures, such as new airport, bridges, and nuclear power plants. In this regards, many studies have been done on the chloride attack in concrete structures. However, those studies were confined mostly to the single deterioration due to chloride only, although actual environment is rather of combined type. The purpose of the present study is, therefore, to explore the influences of carbonation and freezing-thawing action to chloride attack in concrete structures. The test results indicate that the chloride penetration is more pronounced than the case of single chloride attack when the carbonation process is combined with the chloride attack. It is supposed that the chloride ion concentration of carbonation region is higher than the sound region because of the separation of fixed salts. Though the use of fly ash pronounces the chloride ion concentration in surface, amounts of chloride ion penetration into deep region decreases with the use of fly ash. The small reduction of relative dynamic elastic modulus induced from freezing-thawing increases the chloride ion penetration depths much. The present study allows more realistic assessment of durability for such concrete structures which are subjected to combined attacks of both chlorides and carbonation or freezing-thawing but the future studies for combined environment will assure the precise assessment.

The purpose of this study is to provide fundamental data on chloride diffusion from lightweight aggregate concrete by utilizing crushed stone-powder. Accordingly, the study performed experiments using concrete aggregates of Crushed Aggregate (CG), Single-sized Lightweight Aggregate (SLG), Continuous Graded Lightweight Aggregate (CLG), and using water-binder ratio of 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and using binder of FA and BFS. The chloride diffusion coefficient is calculated after experiment based on NT BUILD 492. Diffusion coefficient of SLG and CLG were little bit higher than CG Concrete, but the difference is meaningless. Also, chloride diffusion coefficient indicates that it is highly affected by water-binder ratio, and it decreases with the decrease in water-binder ratio. The admixture substitution indicates decrease only with water-binder ratio of 0.4 for FA15% case, but admixture substitution indicates decrease with all levels of ratio for FA10 + BFS20% which means more appropriate. According to the analysis result of chloride diffusion from lightweight aggregate concrete, crushed stone-powder utilized lightweight aggregate concrete indicates higher chloride diffusion coefficient than CG concrete, which is not a significant difference, and can improve resistance through water-binder ratio and admixture substitution.
