Development of Multidirection Incoming Salt Collector that Excludes Backward Wind

Evaluation of the amount of chloride ion coming from the sea is very important in assessing the life expectancy of Reinforced Concrete structures. Developed in Japan, the incoming salt collector has been used to this day. Unfortunately, the incoming salt collector has had a bad reputation, which is caused by backward wind. Backward wind causes a reduction of the amount of salt collected in collector`s gauze. The collector was developed to eliminate the effect of backward wind. Simulation test in the laboratory and site measurement were performed to determine the amount of incoming salt according to the height. The performance was verified through analytic and experimental methods.

Development of Eco Cementitious Building Finishing Materials Modified with Bamboo Charcoal

Bamboo is representing environmentally friendly building finishing materials as proven in the former researches. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the application properties of cementitious materials modified with bamboo charcoal as building finish materials. Flow test in fresh condition was conducted to assess the workability. Compressive and bending strength were measured after harding. As the thermal properties, thermal conductivity and density were measured. The properties were surpassing over them in case of using the pine charcoal in every tests. The thermal conductivity of them increased with the modified ratio. After the modified ratio 50%, the thermal conductivity decreased. Insolation and absorption performance is due to the lower density by modification of bamboo charcoal.

Rapid Chloride Penetration Test for Concrete Based on the Electrochemical Method

콘크리트는 물시멘트비에 상응하는 공극을 가지게 되며, 공극을 통한 염소이온의 확산을 평가하기 위하여 해안가 폭로 및 해수 침지실험이 널리 사용된다. 이상의 실험은 경우에 따라서 다년간의 시간을 요하는 경우도 있어, 최근에는 전기 영동법에 기초한 급속 염소이온 확산시험을 실시하는 경우가 많으나, 그 값이 폭로 및 침지 시험에서 얻은 값과 상이한 경우가 많아 데이터의 실용성을 높이기 위하여 그 원인 규명이 절실한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 평가 방법으로써 Nernst-Einstein의 식을 통한 염화물 이온 이동계수의 산정방법을 사용하였으며, NT BUILD 492법 및 해수 침지실험을 통한 확산 특성과 비교하여 값의 차이에 대하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과 실험인자의 변화가 염소이온 확산에 미치는 영향은 미비한 것으로 평가되어져 실험조건에서 발생하는 영향은 거의 없는 것으로 규명되었으며, NT BUILD 492법과도 거의 동일한 값이 구해졌다. 침지실험 결과와의 상이는 염소이온 확산에서 경계조건의 차이 및 염소이온의 시멘트 수화물과의 고정화에 의한 것으로 판단되어진다. 【It is necessary to predict the penetration of chloride ions for designing RC construction in marine environments. However, it takes a long time to obtain chloride migration coefficients. Therefore, the rapid chloride penetration test (RCPT) is generally used to shorten the test time. But there is a difference between chloride migration coefficients determined by rapid chloride penetration tests and those based on exposure in marine environments. In this study, we evaluated the effect on the chloride ion migration coefficient caused by a change in voltage and NaCl concentration. We also compared the relationship between the chloride ion migration coefficient by RCPT and that by exposure in marine environments. As a result of the experiments, we found that there is only a small change in the experimental factors based on changes in voltage and NaCl concentration and since they are so small, we can conclude that they are in the range of experimental error and test results from chloride ion migration coefficients by RCPT and exposure were very different from each other. In the exposure experiments, when the water-cement ratio was increased, the smaller fine air gaps in concrete affected the chloride ion migration coefficient.】

Study on CO 2 Emission Reduction Effects of Using Waste Cementitious Powder as an Alternative Raw Material

With environmental regulations continuously being strengthened internationally the need to control environmental pollution and environmental load is emerging in Korea. The purpose of this study is to seek methods or using waste cementitious powder as an alternative raw material for limestone through the optimization of raw material and to quantitatively analyze the resulting reduction of CO₂ emission in order to contribute to solving the issue of waste, which is the biggest issue in relation to construction and global warming. The results of the study, show that waste cementitious powder can be used as an alternative raw material for limestone at OPC level, but it was also found that mixing fine aggregate cementitious powder into waste cementitious powder significantly affected the substitution rate for limestone with waste cementitious powder and the reduction of greenhouse gas. In particular, when fine aggregate cementitious powder was used at a rate of 0~20%, the substitution rate for limestone and the reduction in the rate of greenhouse gas emission was significantly reduced. It is thought that a technique to efficiently separate and discharge the fine aggregate cementitious powder mixed in waste cementitious powder needs to be developed in the future.

Anti-Corrosion Property of Geopolymer Evaluated by an Impressed Current Cathodic Protection Method, Exposed to Marine Environment

There are many literatures reporting that the service life of re-bars in concrete structures is reduced in the oceanic environment due to chloride attack. To solve this problem, this study used geo-polymer as a mix material for concrete to increase its resistance to salt damage, and the external voltage method, one of the electric methods, is was applied to evaluate the likelihood of re-bars in the oceanic structure being exposed to the extreme salt environment. The items evaluated include the natural potential of re-bars and the corrosion rate. The results of the tests showed that in all of the salt environmental conditions (submerged zone, tidal zone, and crack), the tested materials were remarkably effective compared with ordinary concrete. The corrosion protective property was found not only in the evaluation of the natural potential but also in the evaluation of the corrosion rate, suggesting that the external voltage method can be used stably for geo-polymer RC structures in an extreme salt environment.

Development of Testing and Analysis Model for Evaluation of Absorbed Water Diffusion into Concrete

Concrete is affected by various deterioration factors, such as and chloride ions from the sea, which cause carbonation and salt attack on concrete. These deterioration phenomena cause steel corrosion in RC structures. Although a great deal of research has been carried out in this area thus far, it is difficult to know the point at which corrosion will occur to a reinforced bar. As the diffusion of deterioration factors depends on the water content in concrete, it is imperative to assess the condition of absorbed water content. A mass measuring method was applied to calculate the absorbed water diffusion coefficient, as well as non-linear finite element method(FEM) analysis. As a result, it was found that W/C and unit water content in concrete mixture affect the diffusion coefficient decision.

The Sensitivity Evaluation of Probability Variables to Durability Design of the RC Structures

Simulation method based on probability was developed to evaluate the durability of reinforced concrete structures about chloride attack. The effects of the probability parameters(surface chloride ion concentration, initial combined chloride ion concentration, the depth of cover thickness of concrete, and the chloride ion diffusion coefficient), probability distribution function and it`s variation were calculated using the Monte Carlo method and Fick`s 2nd law. From the durability design method proposed in this study, the following results were obtained. 1) The effects of the distance from the coast and the chloride ion diffusion coefficient to the corrosion probability were quite high. 2) The effect of the variation of each parameters was relatively low.
