Concrete is generally accepted to have good fire resistance. It mainly relies on the assumption that concrete has low heat-transfer characteristic and spalling does not occur during the course of a fire. However, the significant numbers of fire accidents have shown in recent years that incidence of spalling has caused sever damages to many structures. This research has investigated a series of catastrophic tunnel fires and tested on the behaviour properties of concrete in association with loading in fire. This paper present that the theoretical consideration and experimental results are used the information of concrete spalling.

포름알데히드는 그 자체가 보존제로 또는 다른 보존제로부터 유리된 형태로 화장품에 일반적으로 존재한다. 포름알데히드는 낮은 농도로도 민감한 피부 반응을 일으킬 수 있으므로 화장품에서 그 사용을 규제하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 팩 및 마스크와 같은 화장품 114 품목을 시중에서 구입하여 포름알데히드의 함량을 분석하였다. 검사 품목의 36%에서 0.3 ~ 9.7 μg/mL (ppm) 수준의 포름알데히드가 검출되었다. 포름알데히드 유리 보존제를 함유한다고 표시되어 있는 12개 제품의 포름알데히드 함량을 조사하였다. Imidazolidinyl urea를 사용한 화장품 10품목과 1,3-Dimethylol- 5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DMDM hyantoin)을 사용한 화장품 2품목에서 평균 1.7 μg/mL (ppm)의 포름알데히드가 검출 되었다. 식품의약품안전청 고시 최대 허용 포름알데히드 농도 0.2 % (2,000 ppm)을 고려할 때, 이번 조사에서 분석한 화장품에서는 비교적 낮은 수준의 포름알데히드 함량을 보였다.

유해 환경하에 노출된 숏크리트는 시간이 경과함에 따라 각종 유해이온의 침식으로 인하여 열화하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같은 환경에 노출된 숏크리트의 열화특성을 평가하기 위하여 황산염 및 산에 대한 화학적침식에 대하여 유해이온에 각각 60주 동안 침지한 숏크리트 코어 공시체를 대상으로 외관조사, 압축강도, 부착강도 및 기기분석을 실시하였다. 그 결과 용액의 종류에 관계없이 침지재령 60주에서 균열, 박리 등으로 인한 표면손상이 심각한 상태였으며, 압축 및 부착강도는 초기재령에서는 수중양생한 공시체보다 상회하는 결과를 보였으나 장기재령에서는 역전되는 현상을 보여주었다.

Thermal neutrality is not enough to achieve thermal comfort. The temperature level can be the optimal, and still people may complain. This situation is often explained by the problem of local discomfort. Local discomfort can be caused by radiant asymmetry, local air velocities, too warm and too cold floor temperature and vertical temperature difference. This temperature difference may generate thermal discomfort due to different thermal sensation in different body parts. Therefore, thermal comfort can not be correctly evaluated without considering these differences. This study investigates thermal discomfort sensations of different body parts and its effect on overall thermal sensation and comfort in air-heating room. Experimental results of evaluating thermal discomfort at different body parts in an air-heating room showed that thermal sensation on the shoulder was significantly related to the overall thermal sensation and discomfort. Although it is known that cool-head, warm-foot condition is good for comfort living, cool temperature around the head generated discomfort

Draft is defined as an unwanted local cooling of the human body caused by air movement. It is a serious problem in many ventilated or air conditioned buildings. Often draft complaints occur although measured velocities in the occupied zone maybe lower than prescribed in existing standards. Purpose of this study is to clarify the evaluation of thermal comfort based on temperature and air velocity in winter. Experiments were performed in an environmental chamber in winter. Indoor temperature and air velocity was artificially controlled. The experiments were performed to evaluate temperature conditions and air velocity conditions by physiological and psychological responses of human. According to physiological responses and psychological responses, it was clear that the optimum air velocity is about 0.15 m/s and 0.30 m/s.
