In this paper, Results of mock-up test for mitigating carbonation of high volume mineral admixture concrete by spreading waste cooking oil. Concrete incorporating 60% of BS and 30% of FA with the size of 900×600×200 are discussed. Denatured Silicate paint is also applied to compare the performance. Test results indicate that the application of ERCO and DSP enhance carbonation resistance.

In previous research team had reported that the durability of carbonation is improved by filling voids due to the saponification reaction of oil and concrete. The purpose of this study was to have experimental investigation the effect of mock-up experiment on the carbonation resistance of the waste concrete admixture.

The objective of the study is to compare theoretical displacement and strain values with those obtained from experiment. The elastic load method was used to obtain the theoretical values. For comparison purpose, H-beams were tested using a three point bending test method. The load-displacement and load-strain curves from the experiment were compared to those from the theory. According to the comparison, displacement was in good agreement with less than 10% difference. Strain values showed difference ranging from approximately 11 to 30%.

We present preliminary observations of the field-aligned-irregularities (FAIs) in the E and F regions during the solar minimum (2009 - 2010) using the 40.8 MHz coherent backscatter radar at Daejeon (36.18°N, 127.14°E, 26.7°N dip latitude) in South Korea. The radar, which consists of 24 Yagi antennas, observes the FAIs using a single beam with a peak power of 24 kW. The radar has been continuously operated since December 2009. Depending on the manner of occurrence of the backscatter echoes, the E-region echoes are largely divided into two types: quasi-periodic (QP) and continuous echoes. Our observations show that the QP echoes occur frequently above an altitude of 105 km in the post-sunset period and continuous echoes occur preferentially around an altitude of 105 km in the post-sunrise period. QP echoes appear as striated discrete echoes for a period of about 10 - 20 min. The QP-type echoes occur more frequently than the continuoustype echoes do and the echo intensity of the QP type is stronger than that of the continuous type. In the F region, the FAIs occur at night at an altitude interval of 250 - 450 km. As time proceeds, the occurrence height of the FAIs gradually increases until early in the morning and then decreases. The duration of the F-region FAIs is typically a few hours at night, although, in rare cases, FAIs persist throughout the night or appear even after sunrise. We discuss the similarities and differences of the FAIs observed by the Daejeon radar in comparison with other radar observations.

While it is well known that space environment can produce spacecraft anomaly, defining space environment effects for each anomalies is difficult. This is caused by the fact that spacecraft anomaly shows various symptoms and reproducing it is impossible. In this study, we try to find the conditions of when spacecraft failures happen more frequently and give satellite operators useful information. Especially, our study focuses on the geosynchronous satellites which cost is high and required high reliability. We used satellite anomaly data given by Satellite News Digest which is internet newspaper providing space industry news. In our analysis, 88 anomaly cases occurred from 1997 to 2008 shows bad corelation with Kp index. Satellite malfunctions were likely to happen in spring and fall and in local time from midnight to dawn. In addition, we found the probability of anomaly increase when high energy electron flux is high. This is more clearly appeared in solar minimum than maximum period
