Reinforcing steel bars in reinforced concrete structures are protected from corrosion by passive film on the steel surface inside concrete with high alkalinity. However, when the passive film breaks down due to chloride ion ingressed into the RC structures, a corrosion initiates at the surface of steel bars. Then, internal pressure by volume expansion of corrosion products in reinforcing bars induces cracking and spalling of cover concrete, which reduces not only durability performance but also structural performance in RC structures. In this paper, a service life prediction of RC structures is carried out by using a micro-mechanics based corrosion model. The corrosion model is composed of a chloride penetration model to evaluate the initiation of corrosion and an electric corrosion cell model and an oxygen diffusion model to evaluate the rate and the accumulated amounts of corrosion. Then, a corrosion cracking model is combined to the models to evaluate critical amount of corrosion product for initiation cracking in cover concrete. By implementing the models into a finite element analysis program, a time and space dependent corrosion analysis and a service life prediction of RC structures due to chloride attack are simulated and the results of the analysis are compared with test results. The effect of crack width on the corrosion and the service life of the RC structures are analyzed and discussed.

자연환경 중 다양한 형태로 존재하는 염화물은 콘크리트 구조물의 철근 부식을 야기하며 이에 따른 심각한 내구성 저하와 함께 구조물의 수명을 감소시킨다. 현재 콘크리트 중의 염화물 침투 특성을 규명하기위한 연구는 해안가 장기 폭로 시험과 전기화학적 촉진 시험에 의한 확산계수 평가 등에 의해 지속적인 발전을 이루어왔으나 콘크리트의 배합, 수화도, 고정화능력, 공극률의 재료적 특성을 고려한 이성적이며 포괄적인 염화물 침투 모델에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 실내 염화물 침지 실험을 통해 콘크리트의 염화물 고정화 특성을 파악하고 이를 고려한 염화물 침투 모델로서 비정상상태의 염화물 침투 해석과 함께 해양침지환경하의 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명 예측을 시도하였으며 SHRP 기준과 20~40%의 내구수명의 차이를 보였다.

해양 환경에 노출된 구조물의 잔존수명을 예측하기 위해서는 부식 개시기까지의 염화물 침투와 콘크리트 피복 균열과 같은 콘크리트 구조물의 열화현상에 대하여 시간과 공간적 요소를 고려한 분석적 접근 방법의 개발이 필요하다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 유한요소해석 기법을 이용하여 염해에 노출되어 있는 콘크리트 구조물의 생애주기를 시뮬레이션하는 것을 목표로 한다. 내구성 예측을 위한 환경적 변수와 재료의 불확실성을 고려하기 위하여 신뢰성에 기반한 잔존수명의 예측을 위한 유한요소해석 모델링에 Monte Carlo Simulation 기법을 도입하였다. 본 논문에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 신뢰성에 기반한 잔존 내구수명에 대한 일반적 개념과 염화물 이온 침투, 부식 생성물의 팽창, 피복 균열 등에 대한 유한요소 모델에 대해 설명하고, 마지막으로 예제를 통하여 염화물 이온의 집중, 부식 생성물의 팽창등이 콘크리트 구조물의 잔존수명에 미치는 영향에 대해 논의하였다.

Deteriorations of concrete are governed by combined factors such as environmental stressors, processes and rates of deteriorations. Due to this reason, it's very difficult and important issue to predict quantitatively the service life of concrete structure. From this pont of views, the purpose of this study is to propose the approaches on the further development for predicting the remaining service life of concrete by analyzing the deteriorations mechanism and evaluating the existing models.

The breakthrough curves of a sampling tube were studied to predict the service life of a respirator cartridge for organic vapors. The fixed bed adsorption model was applied to respirator cartridge and it's variables were calculated from tile experiment of sampling tube. By the experiment and simulation, it was possible to predict the service life of a respirator cartridge, however, not adequate at low $CCl_4$ concentration less than 700ppm and at high air humidify. The breakthrough curves of sampling tube were irregular compare to that of respirator cartridge due to .packing density.

The lack of safety of bridge deck structures causes frequent repair and strengthening of such structures. The repair induces great loss of economy, not only due to direct cost by repair, but also due to stopping the public use of such structures during repair. The major reason for this frequent repair is mainly due to the lack of realistic and accurate assessment system for the bridge decks. The purpose of the present research was to develop a realistic expert system, called Bridge Slab-Expert which can evaluate reasonably the condition as well as the service life of concrete bridge decks, based on the deterioration models that are derived from both the structural and environmental effects. The diagnosis assessment of deck slabs due to structural and environmental effects are developed based on the cracking in concrete, surface distress and structural distress. Fuzzy logic is utilized to handle uncertainties and imprecision involved. Finally, Bridge Slab-Expert is developed for prediction of safety and remaining service life based on the chloride ions penetration and fick's second law. Proposed expert system is based on user-friendly GUI environment. The developed expert system will allow the correct diagnosis of concrete decks, realistic prediction of service life, the determination of confidence level, the description of condition and the proposed action for repair.

원자력발전소 콘크리트 구조물은 해안가에 접해 있으며, 해수를 취수하여 냉각수로 사용하기 때문에 염해에 의한 내구성은 매우 중요하다. 이를 위해 3년간의 염해 장기침지시험을 실시하여 염화물이온확산계수의 변화 및 재령계수(m)을 평가한 결과 4,000 Class인 구조물 기초의 m은 0.35~0.39로 KCI나 ACI 제안값과 유사한 결과를 나타내었고 5,000 Class인 필수 냉각수 구조물 및 터널은 0.44~0.53, 6,000 Class인 원자로 격납건물은 0.62로 FIB 제안값과 유사하였다. 실측된 재령계수로 내구수명을 예측한 결과 원전의 모든 안전관련 콘크리트 구조물은 설계수명 60년 이상을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다.

Hot forging is widely used in the manufacturing of automotive component. The mechanical, thermal load and thermal softening which is happened by the high temperature die in hot forging. Tool life of hot forging decreases considerably due to the softening of the surface layer of a tool caused by a high thermal load and long contact time between the tool and workpieces. The service life of tools in hot forging process is to a large extent limited by wear, heat crack, plastic deformation. These are one of the main factors affecting die accuracy and tool life. It is desired to predict tool life by developing life prediction method by FE-simulation. Lots of researches have been done into the life prediction of cold forming die, and the results of those researches were trustworthy, but there have been little applications of hot forming die. That is because hot forming process has many factors influencing tool life, and there was not accurate in-process data. In this research, life prediction of hot forming die by wear analysis and plastic deformation has been carried out. To predict tool life, by experiment of tempering of die, tempering curve was obtained and hardness express a function of main tempering curve.

Endbeam is an important structural member of freight bogie for the support of service loading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is necessary. However, endbeam occur fatigue fracture in dynamic stress concentration location because comparatively strength and stiffness are low. Therefore, structure analysis is performed to evaluate structural problem of endbeam and local strain range as durability analysis. The number of cycles is extracted concerning the bogie in operation by measurement dynamic stress time history on critical part which is crack initiation in actual fact. At this time rainflow cycle counting is used to consider change of stress for operating condition. Based on the fatigue life curves and the stress analysis, the fatigue life of the endbeam is predicted and compared with the experimentally determined fatigue life, resulting in a fairly good correlation.

The function of O-ring seals is to prevent leakage during the service life of the components in which they are installed. The life prediction of O-ring is very important at various industry fields. Generally, to evaluated the long-term performance of O-ring in severe environments has applied a life prediction technique based on accelerated life test (ALT). In this work, Accelerated thermal aging test(l20, 130, 140, $150^{\circ}C$) of O-ring was applied for life prediction of O-ring. The property changes after thermal aging test was measured using TGA, DSC, FT - IR, Video Microscope and SEM. Shape parameter and life prediction were obtained using MINITAB program.
