본 논문에서는 노후화된 PSC I형 교량을 대상으로 철근부식에 대한 구조적 안전성을 평가하였다. 대상 PSC I형 교량은 실제 구조물을 참고하여 철근을 배근하고 해석 시 콘크리트의 파괴와 철근의 항복을 고려하였다. 한국시설안전공단 정밀안전진단의 교량 평가 기준을 참고하여 철근노출면적률과 철근부식률로 구분하여 총 32가지의 철근부식 시나리오를 구성하였다. 철근노출은 교량의 바닥판 하부 인장철근이 콘크리트 피복 탈락에 의해 노출된 것으로 가정하였다. 각 시나리오별 해석 결과, PSC I형 교량의 안전율과 내하율은 철근노출면적률과 철근부식률이 증가함에 따라 감소하였다. 철근부식률이 50% 이상일 경우는 모든 철근노출면적률에 대해서 안전성등급을 세밀하게 분석할 필요가 있었으며, 철근부식률 57%이상인 경우는 철근노출면적률에 관계없이 모두 E등급으로 산정되었다. 철근노출면적률 2%에 대해서 상관도 분석을 실시한 결과,철근부식률이 약 55.8% 까지는 A등급, 56.9% 까지는 C등급, 58.5% 까지는 D등급, 58.5% 이상인 경우 E등급으로 평가되었다. 본 연구를 통해 노후화된 교량에 대한 철근부식의 정량적인 구조적 안전성 평가가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

Rebar is embedded in concrete to create reinforced concrete (RC). Rebar carries most of the tensile stress and gives compressively loaded concrete fracture resistance. However, embedded steel corrosion is a significant cause of concern for RC composite structures worldwide. It is one of the biggest threats to concrete structures' longevity. Due to environmental factors, concrete decays and reinforced concrete buildings fail. The type and surface arrangement of the rebar, the cement used in the mortar, the dosing frequency of the concrete, its penetrability, gaps and cracks, humidity, and, most importantly, pollutants and aggressive species all affect rebar corrosion. Either carbonation or chlorides typically cause steel corrosion in concrete. Carbonation occurs when carbon dioxide in the atmosphere combines with calcium within the concrete. This indicates that the pH of the medium is falling, and the steel rebar is corroding. When chlorides pass through concrete to steel, corrosion rates skyrocket. Consideration must be given to concrete moisture. Owing to its excellent resistance, dry concrete has a low steel corrosion rate, whereas extremely wet concrete has a low rate owing to delayed O₂ transfer to steel surfaces. This paper examines rebar corrosion causes and mechanisms and describes corrosion evaluation and mitigation methods.

Several reinforced concrete structures that get deteriorated by rebar corrosion are retrofitted using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). When rebar comes in direct contact with CFRP, rebar may corrode, as iron is more active than carbon. Progression of corrosion of rebar in strengthened RC structures has been carried out when rebar comes in direct contact with CFRP. The experimentation is carried out in two phases. In phase I, corrosion of bare steel bar is monitored by making its contact with CFRP. In phase II, concrete specimens with surface bonded CFRP were casted and subjected to the realistic exposure conditions keeping direct contact between rebar and CFRP. Progression of corrosion has been monitored by various parameters: Half-cell potential, Tafel extrapolation and Linear Polarisation Resistance. On termination of exposure, to find residual bond stress between rebar and concrete, pull-out test was performed. Rebar in contact with CFRP has shown substantially higher corrosion. The level of corrosion will be more with more area of contact.

The social trouble to the durability of concrete rises recently because the embedded rebar corrosion influences concrete structures to deteriorate structural capacity. And also, the rebar corrosion causes crack of concrete, decrease of steel section and separation of covering concrete. In the result, the bond strength of concrete and embedded rebar decreases, which causes deterioration of the structure behavior in reinforced concrete. In this study, the relation of bond strength and bond-slip was understood to evaluate capacity deterioration of reinforced concrete, and experiments were carried out by compressive strength and embedded rebar condition in the rebar corrosion rate.

The corrosion inhibition properties of conifer cone (Pinus resinosa) extract were studied in synthetic concrete pore solutions (SCPS) with and without chloride environments by electrochemical methods. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) revealed that the conifer cone (CC) extract showed promising inhibition behavior by diminishing the corrosion rate of steel rebar both solutions i.e. with and without chloride. The extract of conifer cone hinders the corrosion reaction between steel rebar and aggressive ions. Further, it can be verified that the up to 1000mg.L-1 of CC extract can able to reduce the corrosion rate of steel rebar in chloride contaminated concrete.

The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of critical chloride of rebar embedded in concrete according to the substitution rate of admixture. In order to determine the starting point of corrosion of rebar, electrodes were embedded in concrete, chloride was supplied, and OCP of rebar was observed in real time. The amount of the contaminants in the concrete surrounding the rebar was judged to be the critical corrosion chloride contents of the rebar at the start of the corrosion. As a result of the comparative evaluation, it was confirmed that the critical chloride contents of the rebar decreased with increasing the substitution ratio of the admixture.

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.

Concrete is one of the most widely used structure materials. Concrete is like the motor of the construction industry. The remarkable feature of this Concrete is its cheapness and low energy consumption. Concrete alone does not show resistance against any force but only against compressive forces. Therefore, steel rebar product is used as a reinforcement and increase the strength of Concrete. It can be done by putting rebar in Concrete in different ways. Rebar rusting is one of the crucial symptoms that cause swift destruction in reinforced structures-factors such as moisture in concrete increase the steel corrosion rate. In most cases, it is difficult to compensate for the damage caused by the corrosion of base metals, so preventing corrosion will be much more cost-effective. Coatings made with nanotechnology can protect Concrete against external degradation factors to prevent water and humidity from penetrating the Concrete and prevent rusting and corrosion of the rebar inside. It prevents water penetration and contamination into the Concrete and increases the Concrete's quality and structural efficiency. In this research, silica and titanium dioxide nanoparticle coatings have been used due to their suitable electrical and thermal properties, resistance to oxidation, corrosion, and wear to prevent the corrosion of rebars in Concrete. The results of this method show that these nanoparticles significantly improve the corrosion resistance of rebars.
