For concrete structures immersed in seawater, the concentration of chloride used to estimate the chloride diffusion coefficient can be defined as the seawater chloride concentration. However, for seashore concrete structures which are not coming into direct contact with seawater, establishing the interface concentration of chloride becomes delicate. In addition, concrete structures are greatly affected by salt attack primarily due to airborne sea salt like it can be seen through the corrosion of rebar. This study intends to investigate characteristics on the salinity of airborne sea salt by height. Salinity measurement devices were installed at height of 2, 10 and 19m on the seashore water tower located in the area of Samchuk in the Eastern coast. Analysis results of the decrease of salinity with respect to the height above the ground at a distance of 30m from the seashore showed that the reduction reached about 40$\%$ at a height of 10m and 60$\%$ at 20m.

In general, analog tester or strip chart recorder have been used to measure the corrosion potential of structures such as gas pipelines, oil pipelines, hot water pipelines, power cables etc. Recently, automatic digital data logger substitutes for these manual equipment because using these manual equipments are tedious and time consuming. However, digital data logger also has a shortcoming, that is, short measuring time because of the short lifetime of batteries. Therefore, we developed a long lifetime and low power loss battery taking advantage of galvanic series. In this paper, the results of development for power generator using two metals and DC/DC converter in order to obtain enough voltage for the operation of digital data logger. DC/DC converter operates with 0.5[V]. Its output voltage is 3.5[V] and output current is from 60[mAh] to 1,200[mAh].

Inconel-600 alloy has been used as steam generator tube material for current pressurized water reactors (PWRs). The long-term operation of steam generators showed that the use of this material induced localized corrosion damages and increased tube wear of steam generator. To protect these problems, steam generator tube material is being changed to Inconel-690 alloy. Based on the current trend, we have chosen Inconel 690 as the Advanced Power Reactor 1400 (APR1400) steam generator(SG) tube material and performed the design optimization of preventive measure against tube fretting wear for the APR1400 steam generator. In this paper, we examined the technical consideration in this modification : the selection of material, wear characteristics, effect of the Egg-crate Flow Distribution Plate installation, and effect analysis of vertical strip installation.

The outlet feeder pipe thinning in a PHWR (Pressured Heavy Water Reactor) is caused by high pressure steam flow inside the pipe, which is a well known degradation mechanism called FAC (Flow Assisted Corrosion). In order to monitor the degradation, the thickness of the outlet bends closed to the exit of the pressure tube should be measured and analyzed at every official overhaul. This paper develops an automatic feeder pipe inspection system that can minimize the irradiation dose by automating the measurement process. The robot can move by itself on the feeder pipe by using an inch worm mechanism, which is constructed by two gripper bodies that can fix their body on the pipe and one extendable and retractable body connected the two gripper bodies to move forward and backward.

When the concrete structures are in contact with seawater, concentration of chloride for estimating chloride diffusion coefficient can be defined as the chloride concentration of sea water. However, in case the concrete structures, constructed in the seashore, aren't directly in contact with seawater, it is difficult to establish the interface concentration of chloride. In addition, marine concrete structures are greatly affected by salt attack such as rebar corrosion, among the cause of salt attack, airborne sea salt is primary factor. Therefore, in this study, salt attack environment by airborne sea salt was investigated in terms of a seasonal distribution at 33 spots, 6 areas in the East, West, South coast for 1 year. Results indicated that in the South coast, the amount of the airborne sea salt is comparatively higher in summer. in the West coast. higher in winter. On the other hand, in the East coast, the amount of the airborne sea salt is rarely affected by a season.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of polymer-modified surface preparation mortars with pozzolanic materials for corrosion prevention method in deteriorated sewage treatment structures. The prepackaged-type surface preparation mortars are prepared with a polymer-binder ratio of 10%, ground granulated blast furnace slag contents of 0, 15, 30%, a fly ash content of 15%. And, the specimens are tested for workability, adhesion in tension, water absorption, crack and impact resistance. As a result, the prepackage-type surface preparation mortars for sewage treatment structure are satisfied with quality requirements by KS F 4716, Japan sewage work agency(JS) and JIS A 6916 for surface preparation mortars.

Concrete can lose its alkalinity by concrete carbonation causing steel corrosion. Thus, the determination of the carbonation depth is necessary. An empirical model is proposed in this research to predict the carbonation depth of concrete using Gene expression programming (GEP). The GEP model was trained and validated using a large and reliable database collected from the literature. The model was developed using the six parameters that predominantly control the carbonation depth of concrete including carbon dioxide CO2 concentration, relative humidity, water-to-cement ratio, maximum aggregate size, aggregate to binder ratio and carbonation period. The model was statistically evaluated and then compared to the Jiang et al. model. A parametric study was finally performed to check the proposed GEP model's sensitivity to the selected input parameters.

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is essential to accomplish viable CO₂ and water electrolysis. Herein, we report the fabrication and OER performance of Ni-foam (NF)-immobilized Ni₆ nanoclusters (NCs) (Ni₆/NF) prepared by a dip-coating process. The Ni₆/NF electrode exhibited a high current density of 500 mA/cm² for the OER at an overpotential as low as 0.39 V. Ni₆/NF exhibited high durability in an alkaline solution without corrosion. Electrokinetic studies revealed that OER can be easily initiated on Ni6 NC with fast electron-transfer rates. Finally, we demonstrated stable CO₂-to-CO electroreduction using an NC-based zero-gap CO₂ electrolyzer operated at a current density of 100 mA/cm² and a full-cell potential of 2.0 V for 12 h.

In this study, surface performance evaluation was conducted according to the fiber and surface finishing technique of the exterior material using Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC), whitch is spotlighted as a highly durable exterior material. As a result of outdoor exposure, the initial performance of the UHPC Panel using organic fibers was maintained without being affected by the surface finishing technique. In the specimen using steel fiber, the surface performance was maintained when the water repellent treatment was performed in the plain specimen, but fiber corrosion occurred in the specimen to which the surface finishing technique was applied.

유동층보일러를 구성하는 요소 중 하나인 수냉벽튜브는 외부의 고온 연소 가스를 이용해 물을 증기로 가열하는 튜브군의 하나로써, 보일러를 이용한 전력생산에 중요한 역할을 담당하지만, 고온 가스 및 유동매체로 인해 마모 및 부식이 심하게 일어나면 누수가 발생하게 되고, 누수로 인한 2차 피해도 발생될 뿐만 아니라, 발전 효율이 현저히 떨어지게 되어 수냉벽튜브의 유지보수는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 원격장 기반의 발신자(Exciter) 센서 설계, 원격장 와전류 시스템 구성, 수냉벽튜브 외벽 결함평가를 목적으로 하였으며, 이를 위한 발신자 형상의 센서 설계를 시작으로, 수냉벽튜브의 크기, 재질, 주파수, Lift-Off (센서와 수냉벽튜브 사이의 거리) 등 여러 가지 요인에 따른 시험을 진행하여 그에 따른 최적의 발신자 센서를 설계하였다.
