STUDY ON QUALITY CONTROL OF MASS CONCRETE IN IMPORTANT STRUCTURES

—Results of monitoring tests related to durability and effect of coatings up to 20 years—

Abstract

In this paper, we describe the study of the monitoring test using the full-size simulated models related to durability of coating and effect of surface coating of concrete for preventing penetration of the salts transported by sea breezes. First we study the effects of factors influencing durability against the concrete which coated and uncoated. Next, we have the result of the concrete properties, chloride contents and carbonated thickness. Finally we conduct the properties of concrete durability (chloride contents and carbonated thickness etc.) up to 20 years age and the method of monitoring test using the full-size members simulating general part of the real structures.
