In this paper, salt damage resistance of high durable concrete was tested. High durable concrete was made by using low water cement ratio, chemical admixture called super-durable admixture and mineral admixtures such as fly-ash, ground granulated blast-furnace slag, silica fume. Two kinds of salt damage resistance test were carried out. One method is chloride ion penetration test(ASTM C1202), and the other one is depth of chloride penetration test in saline solution. Test results were as followers: 1) The depth of chloride ion penetration increased exponentially as water cement ratio was increased and time passed. 2) Super-durable admixture had little effect on the improvement of salt damage resistance of concrete. 3) Silica fume and ground granulated blast-furnace slag were effective on salt damage resistance because of pozzolanic reaction, but fly-ash had a little effect.

The development and the main features of an expert system for modeling the requirements of durable concrete in chemical exposure, called the Durable Concrete Advisor for Chemical Exposure (DCACE), are described. The system was developed to help improve the quality of concrete exposed to chemical environment by minimizing mistakes and deficiencies in selecting concrete constituents. Using Kappa-PC expert system shell, an object-oriented model was developed where the rule-based reasoning operates on or across objects. The American Concrete Institute manual of concrete practice was chosen as the main source of knowledge. Other textual sources were also consulted for knowledge acquisition. The major objectives of the research were acquisition and formalization of the relevant knowledge and building an expert system for making durable concrete for chemical exposure regarding sulfate attack, acid attack, seawater attack and carbonation. Similar to most expert systems, this system has explanation facilities, can be incrementally expanded, and has an easy to understand knowledge base. The performance of the system is demonstrated by an example session. The system is user-friendly and can be used as an educational tool.

Glossing Exposure Concrete is a high quality architectural concrete, i.e., appearance of natural stone and a marbling effect concrete to achieve high quality glassy reflective surface for outer wall of the building. In this study to obtain the conservation and durability of gloss of the "glossing exposure concrete" we developed a from practice and the best mix proportion and derived the optimistic removal time of form to bring out the durable glassy reflective surface and durable concrete. Hereby with the "glossing exposure concrete" obtained, we investigate the accelerate carbonation and accelerate durability test to evaluate the durability factor of this type of concrete.is type of concrete.

Generally, the limestone powder is known to have some advantages in rheology of fresh concrete, resistance of material separation, and enhancement of strength at early ages. Recently, great attention is being paid to limestone blended cements in the manufacture of concrete, especially in the countries of Europe. The purpose of the present study is to establish the mechanical and durable properties of concrete containing slag and limestone powder. In this paper, the chloride ion penetration test, rapid carbonation test and rapid freezing-thawing test is carried out to study durability of concrete with various content of limestone powder. Futhermore, the strength of concrete is evaluated with various ages.

Recently, high quality architectural concrete, i.e., appearance of natural stone and a marbling effect, is needed, to achieve high quality glassy reflective surface for outer wall of the building. In this study to achieve above characteristics of the "glossing exposure concrete" we developed a form practice and the best mix proportion and derived the optimistic removal time of form to bring out the durable glassy reflective surface and durable concrete. Hereby with the "glossing exposure concrete" obtained we applicate for first time, to Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute situated on Taedok Science Town and it will be the beginning of the construction of "glossing exposure concrete" in this country.oncrete" in this country.ntry.

This study investigates the quality control and the finishability improvement properties of durable marine concrete under construct in Geo-je Ka-duk fixed link project. Below $3.5\times10^{-12}m^2/s$ chloride migration coefficient and above 40MPa compressive strength are required for the caisson structure concrete. The quality control was performed from physical-chemical analysis of raw materials to concrete test. Also, the efficiency of vibration type and action interval were tested to remove the entrapped air on the faced to form. And kinds of form and remolding agent were also tested. This paper aim to enhance the practical use of high performance concrete to construction field.

The objective of this study was to develop the high-durable concrete which is mixed silica fume and fly ash in post-tensioned concrete pavement. Test results show that early-age compressive strength was increased with addition of silica fume. Water-permeability was improved significantly comparing with standard concrete.

Recently, the scale and form of the construction promoting in government and private organization have large scaled town. The underground area of whole town are used for every facilities, and most of concrete area are used for greening part for friendly environment construction. This greening part for concrete area have good point such as being amendment and various economical effect and improvement for environmental problem, moreover, the amount of greening part become great increased. For this factor, we have to newly consider to keep durable safety for concrete structure, therefore, we suggest that how to keep structural safety of greening area on the concrete.

Generally, steel corrosion occurs in concrete structures due to carbonation in down-town area and underground site and it propagates to degradation of structural performance. In general diagnosis and inspection, only carbonation depth in sound concrete is evaluated but unsound concrete such as joint and cracked area may occur easily in a concrete member due to construction process. In this study, field survey of carbonation for RC columns in down-town area is performed and carbonation depth in joint and cracked concrete including sound area is measured. Probability of durable failure with time is calculated through probability variables such as concrete cover depth and carbonation depth which are obtained from field survey. In addition, service life of the structures is predicted based on the intended probability of durable failure in domestic concrete specification. It is evaluated that in a RC column, various service life is predicted due to local condition and it is rapidly decreased with insufficient cover depth and growth of crack width. It is also evaluated that obtaining cover depth and quality of concrete is very important because the probability of durable failure is closely related with C.O.V. of cover depth.
