Natural degradation of grounding-electrode in soil environment should be monitored for several decades to predict the lifetime of the grounding electrode for efficient application and management. However, long-term studies for such electrodes have many practical limitations. The conventional accelerated corrosion test is unsuitable for such studies because simulated soil corrosion process cannot represent the actual soil environment. A preliminary experiment of accelerated corrosion test was conducted using existing test standards. The accelerated corrosion test that reflects the actual soil environment has been developed to evaluate corrosion performances of grounding-electrodes in a short period. Several test conditions with different chamber temperatures and salt spray were used to imitate actual field conditions based on ASTM B162, ASTM B117, and ISO 14993 standards. Accelerated degradation specimens of copper-bonded electrodes were made by the facile method and their corrosion performances were investigated. Their corrosion rates were calculated to $0.042{\mu}m/day$, $0.316{\mu}m/day$, and $0.11{\mu}m/day$, respectively. These results indicate that accelerated deterioration of grounding materials can be determined in a short period by using cyclic test condition with salt spray temperature of $50^{\circ}C$.

In the industry, accelerated corrosion test is used for the life time prediction. When anti-corrosion test proceeds in real environments, it is difficult that we predict and evaluate the corrosion life time because of the long test time such as 10 years or more time. Accelerated corrosion test and Salt spray test are able to test corrosion life time of products in the laboratory instead of outdoor corrosion test. Experimental procedure is selected for the corrosion standard specimen, exposure of the specimens, measurements of the mass loss and evaluating the mass loss data. As a result, the acceleration factor of the accelerated corrosion test to the outdoor corrosion test is 414.8. Therefore we can predict the corrosion life time of carbon steel during a short time period.

Interest in the durability assessment and structural performance has increased according to an increase of concrete structures in salt damage environment recent years. Reliable way ensuring the most accelerated corrosion test is a method of performing the rebar corrosion monitoring as exposed directly to the marine test site exposure. However, long-term exposure test has a disadvantage because of a long period of time. Therefore, many studies on reinforced concrete in salt damage environments have been developed as alternatives to replace this. However, accelerated corrosion test is appropriate to evaluate the critical chlorine concentration in the short term, but only accelerated test method, is not easy to get correct answer. Accuracy of correlation acceleration test depends on the period of the degree of exposure environments. Therefore, in this study, depending on the concrete mix material, by the test was performed on the basis of the composite degradation of the salt damage, and investigate the difference of corrosion initiation time of the rebar, and indoor corrosion time of the structure, of the marine environment of the actual environments were inuestigated. The correlation coefficient was derived in the experiment. Long-term exposure test was actually conducted in consideration of the exposure conditions submerged zone, splash zone and tidal zone. The accelerated corrosion tests were carried out by immersion conditions, and by the combined deterioration due to the carbonation and accelerated corrosion due to wet and dry condition.

해수중 환경에서 콘크리트 구조물 내에 매립된 철근은 용존산소의 부족으로 부식이 잘 발생하지 않는다. 이 때문에 해수중 환경의 부식촉진시험은 전기화학적인 방법으로 실시되어, 실제 부식 메커니즘과 맞지 않고 장기거동과의 상관성 도출도 어려운 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 해수중 환경에서의 부식촉진시험법을 정립하기 위해 온도와 염화물농도를 주된 변수로 부식촉진시험을 실시하였다. 부식의 발생 유무는 갈바닉 전위측정법과 반전지전위법을 통한 철근부식모니터링 결과로 판단하였다. 부식촉진시험 결과 온도의 영향이 가장 지배적이라고 평가되었다. 염화물량은 시험 시편의 깊이별 염화물 농도를 측정하였다. 동일한 조건으로 FEM 내구성 해석 프로그램인 DuCOM을 통해 염화물침투 해석을 실시하여 입증하였다. 또한, 인공해수 침지 조건에 따른 용존 산소량은 실험을 통해 구했으며 이를 통해 부식촉진시험 결과의 타당성을 검증하였다.

부식촉진시험의 가장 확실하고 신뢰성이 높은 방법은 해양폭로 시험장에 직접 폭로시켜 철근부식모니터링을 실시하는 방법이지만 장기간이 소요되는 단점이 있다. 그래서 이를 대체하는 수단으로 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 하지만 부식촉진시험이 폭로환경의 어느 정도 기간에 상응하느냐는 상관성에 대한 규정은 정해져 있지 않은 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 간만대, 침지내 환경을 재현한 철근부식촉진시험과 장기폭로시험을 실시하였다. 환경조건을 변수로 시험을 실시하였으며, 반전지전위법을 통한 철근부식 모니터링을 실시하였다. 부식촉진 시험결과 시험조건 별 상대부식개시시점 도출을 할 수 있었으며, 내구성 해석 프로그램인 Life365와 염화물적정시험을 통해 염화물침투해석을 실시하였다.

Recently, large scale concrete structures exposed to severe environment are increasingly built in various locations. The corrosion may affect severely the durability and service life of such a concrete structure. It is, therefore, necessary to develop durable concrete to enhance the corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance of concrete can be identified through accelerated corrosion test. The purpose of the present paper is, therefore, to devise a reasonable and accurate method to predict the amount of corrosion of reinforcing steels. The proposed method which is basically based on the concept of Faraday's Law, determines the corroded amount of a re-bar according to accelerated corrosion time. The corrosion is accelerated by employing the potentiometric corrosion test arrangement. The effects of admixtures in concrete including fly ash and silica fume have been also studied to explore the relative corrosion resistance of concrete.

In this study, the accelerated corrosion test by combined deteriorating action of salt damage and freeze-thaw was investigated. freeze-thaw cycle is one method for corrosion testing; corrosion initiation time was measured in four types of concrete samples, i.e., two samples mixed with fly ash (FA) and blast furnace slag (BS), and the other two samples having two water/cement ratio (W/C = 0.6, 0.35) without admixture (OPC60 and OPC35). The corrosion of rebar embedded in concrete occurred most quickly at the $30^{th}$ freeze-thaw cycle. Moreover, a corrosion monitoring method with a half-cell potential measurement and relative dynamic elastic modulus derived from resonant frequency measures was conducted simultaneously. The results indicated that the corrosion of rebar occurred when the relative dynamic elastic modulus was less than 60%. Therefore, dynamic elastic modulus can be used to detect corrosion of steel bar. The results of the accelerated corrosion test exhibited significant difference according to corrosion periods combined with each test condition. Consequently, the OPC60 showed the lowest corrosion resistance among the samples.

해양환경 조건 중 건습반복환경인 간만대는 구조물내 철근부식이 가장 빨리 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 때문에 부식촉진시험 방법 중 간만대 환경을 재현한 시험방법이 가장 활발하게 진행되어왔다. 그러나 많은 연구들이 부식임계농도 추정이나 염화물침투해석에 집중되어 있는 상황이다. 본 논문에서는 건습반복조건의 환경을 재현하여 구조물내 철근부식촉진시험과 염화물 침투해석을 실시하였다. 배합에 사용된 재료의 종류를 변수로 시험을 실시하였으며, 철근부식모니터링 방법으로 갈바닉 전위측정법과 반전지전위법을 사용하여 철근부식의 유무를 판단하였다. 부식촉진시험결과 각 배합별로 부식기간이 차이가 났으며, 순서는 OPC > FA > BS > 고강도 순으로 나타났다. 부식촉진시험과 동일한 조건으로 FEM 내구성 해석 프로그램인 DuCOM, RCPT 시험을 실시하여 실험결과 값에 대한 타당성을 입증하였다.

It should be noted that the critical chloride threshold level is not considered to be a unique value for all conditions. This value is dependent on concrete mix proportions, cement type and constituents, presence of admixtures, environmental factors, reinforcement surface conditions, and other factors. In this study, the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was conducted by electrochemical and cyclic wet and dry seawater method, respectively and during the test, corrosion monitoring by half-cell potential method was carried out to detect the time to initiation of corrosion for individual test specimen. For this purpose, lollypop and right hexahedron test specimens were made for 31%, 42%, and 50% of W/C, respectively, and then the accelerated corrosion test for reinforcing steel was executed. It was observed from the test that the time to initiation of corrosion was found to be different with the water-cement ratio and accelerated corrosion test method, respectively and the critical chloride threshold values were found to range from 0.91 to $1.47kg/m^3$.

염해에 의한 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구수명을 평가하는 방법에는 여러 가지가 있지만, 가장 확실한 방법은 염해환경에 노출된 시편에 대한 철근 부식시험을 시행하는 것이다. 그러나 이러한 방법은 장기간이 소요된다는 단점이 있으며 이를 보완한 촉진부식시험 결과는 장기시험과의 상관성이 규명되지 않아 적용에 한계가 따른다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 부식촉진시험과 장기폭로시험간의 상관성을 분석하는 것을 연구의 목표로 한다. 부식속도가 가장 빠른 간만대 환경을 모사한 최적 건습반복시험방법을 찾고 해양환경폭로시험장의 간만대에 장기간 노출된 시편의 철근부식모니터링 시험결과와의 비교를 통해 촉진부식시험과 장기폭로시험간의 상관계수를 도출하였다. 또한 재료의 배합별 특성을 파악하기 위해 물,결합재비 60%를 기준으로 플라이애시를 20% 치환한 배합과 고로슬래그 미분말을 30% 치환한 배합을 비교하였으며, 물-결합재비가 35%인 고강도 배합에 대해서도 시험을 실시하였다. 반전지전위법에 의한 부식 모니터링 결과 일정기간의 건조와 습윤의 반복 조건보다는 염수를 시편 상부에 침지시켜 염수 및 산소의 공급이 계속되는 염수 ponding 시험법이 24~36% 정도 부식을 촉진시키는 것으로 나타났다. 각 배합별로는 모든 시험법에서 OPC60, FA, BS, OPC35 순으로 부식이 발생하였다. 간만대의 장기폭로시험과의 상관성 분석 결과 건습반복 부식촉진시험의 경우 4.23~5.52의 상관계수를 가지고 있었으며, 염수 ponding 시험법의 경우 6.54~7.82의 상관계수를 나타내었다.
