Abstract

The service life in RC (Reinforced Concrete) is very important and it is usually obtained through deterministic method based on Fick's 2nd law and probabilistic method. This paper presents an evaluation of $P_{df}$(durability failure probability) and the related service life considering time-dependent behaviors in chloride diffusion and surface chloride content. For the work, field investigation is performed for RC structures exposed to chloride attack for 3.5~4.5years, focusing tidal zone (6.0 m) and sea shore (9.0 m), respectively. Random variables like cover depth, chloride diffusion coefficient, and surface chloride content are obtained, and $P_{df}$ and the service life are evaluated. Unlike the results from deterministic method using LIFE 365, probabilistic method with time effects on diffusion and surface chloride shows a relatively rapid change in the result, which is a significant reductions of service life in the case with low surface chloride content. For probabilistic evaluation of durability, high surface chloride content over $10.0kg/m^3$ is required and reasonable service life can be derived with consideration of time-dependent diffusion coefficient.

염해에 노출된 콘크리트의 내구수명은 매우 중요한데, 주로 Fick's 2법칙에 근거한 결정론적인 방법과 확률론에 근거한 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 시간의존적 확산계수와 표면염화물량을 고려하여 내구적 파괴확률과 이에 따른 내구수명의 변화를 평가하였다. 이를 위해 3.5~4.5년, 비교적 짧은 기간 염해에 노출된 RC 교각에 대하여 해상부(9.0 m)와 간만대(6.0 m) 구분하여 실태조사를 수행하였다. 피복두께, 표명염화물량, 염화물 확산계수에 대한 확률변수를 도출하였으며, MCS을 이용하여 내구적 파괴확률과 내구수명을 평가하였다. Life365를 이용한 결정론적 방법과 다르게, 시간의존성을 고려한 확률해석에서는 내구수명의 변동이 크게 발생하였으며, 표면염화물량이 낮은 조건에서는 초기에 빠른 내구수명의 감소가 평가되었다. 실태조사 결과를 이용하여 확률론적인 내구성 평가를 할 경우, 장기간 염해에 노출되어 $10.0kg/m^3$ 이상의 높은 표면염화물량이 필요함을 알 수 있으며, 확산계수의 시간의존성에 따른 감소를 고려하면 합리적인 내구수명을 평가할 수 있다.
