Engineering design primarily focuses on product improvement through enhancing existing functionalities, integrating features, or adding new capabilities. In other words, it can be said that more design(adaptive design) changes to existing products based on benchmarking with competing products, differentiation strategies, changes in customer needs, etc. are actually performed rather than developing new products that did not exist before. Especially in the case of custom production, such as ships or buildings, a significant portion of actual design work involves modifying and adjusting past performance data according to the current customer's requirements. Therefore, design methods should be developed in a way that effectively supports these processes. Therefore, in this study, as QFD (Quality Function Deployment) ‘analysis of existing products’ and ‘creation of new alternatives’ is supported in Marine Concept Design with AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) techniques such as ‘Value Evaluation in Analysis Work’ and ‘Design Alternative Evaluation’, as a result, basic research was conducted on whether it could be used as a tool to effectively support the flow of the design process.

This study performed the seismic response analysis of an LNG storage tank supported by a disconnected piled raft foundation (DPRF) with a load transfer platform (LTP). For this purpose, a precise analytical model with simultaneous consideration of Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) and Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) was used. The effect of the LTP characteristics (thickness, stiffness) of the DPRF system on the seismic response of the superstructure (inner and outer tanks) and piles was analyzed. The analytical results were compared with the response of the piled raft foundation (PRF) system. The following conclusions can be drawn from the numerical results: (1) The DPRF system has a smaller bending moment and axial force at the head of the pile than the PRF system, even if the thickness and stiffness of the LTP change; (2) The DPRF system has a slight stiffness of the LTP and the superstructure member force can increase with increasing thickness. This is because as the stiffness of the LTP decreases and the thickness increases, the natural frequency of the LTP becomes closer to the natural frequency of the superstructure, which may affect the response of the superstructure. Therefore, when applying the DPRF system, it is recommended that the sensitivity analysis of the seismic response to the thickness and stiffness of the LTP must be performed.

Titanium constitutes approximately 60% of the weight of steel and exhibits strength comparable to steel's but with a higher strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium alloys possess excellent corrosion resistance due to a thin oxide layer at room temperature; however, their reactivity increases above 600°C, leading to oxidation and nitridation. Welding titanium alloys presents challenges such as porosity issues. Laser welding minimizes the heat-affected zone (HAZ) by emitting high output in a localized area for a short duration. This process forms a narrow and deep HAZ, reducing the deterioration of mechanical properties and decreasing the contact area with oxygen. In this study, fiber laser welding was conducted on 8.0mm thick Ti-6Al-4V alloy using the Bead On Plate (BOP) technique. A total of 25 welding conditions were experimented with to observe bead shapes. The results demonstrated successful penetration within the 0.792mm to 8.000mm range. It was concluded that this experimental approach can predict diverse welding conditions for Ti-6Al-4V alloys of various thicknesses.

Liquified hydrogen is considered a new energy resource to replace conventional fossil fuels due to environmental regulations by the IMO. When building tank for the storage and transportation of liquified hydrogen, materials need to withstand temperatures of -253°C, which is even lower than that of LNG (-163°C). Austenitic stainless steel mainly used to build liquified hydrogen tank. When building the tanks, both the base material and welding zone need to have excellent strength in cryogenic condition, however, manual arc welding has several issues due to prolonged exposure of the base material to high temperatures. Laser welding, which has some benefits like short period of exposure time and decrease of thermal affected zone, is used many industries. In this study, laser bead on plate welding was conducted to determine the laser butt welding conditions for STS 304 and STS 316L steels. After the BOP test, cross-section observations were conducted to measure and compare four bead parameters. These tendency result of laser BOP test can be used as conditions laser butt welding of STS 304 and STS 316L steel.

Research into lightweighting to improve vehicle fuel efficiency and reduce exhaust emissions continues as environmental regulations become increasingly stringent. Magnesium alloys, chosen for their lightweight properties, are more than 35% lighter than aluminum alloys and also exhibit excellent mechanical characteristics. While magnesium alloys are commonly utilized in arc welding processes like GTAW and GMAW, they pose challenges such as high residual stresses and welding defects. Laser welding, on the other hand, offers the advantage of precise heat input, enabling deep and high-quality welds while minimizing welding distortion. In this study, fiber laser welding was employed to weld a 4.0mm thick AZ31B-H24 using the Bead on Plate technique. A total of 10 different welding conditions were tested with fiber laser welding, and the cross-sections of the weld beads were examined. Weld bead shapes were measured based on five parameters. The results allowed for an evaluation of the weldability of AZ31B-H24 using fiber laser welding.

The limitation in deriving the species richness representing the entire country of South Korea lies in its relatively short history of species field observations and the scattered observation data, which has been collected by various organizations in different fields. In this study, a comprehensive compilation of the observation data for plants held by agencies under the Ministry of Environment was conducted, enabling the construction of a time series dataset spanning over 100 years. The data integration was carried out using minimal criteria such as species name, observed location, and time (year) followed by data verification and correction processes. Based on the integrated plant species data, the comprehensive collection of plant species in South Korea has occurred predominantly since 2000, and the number of plant species explored through these surveys appears to be converging recently. The collection of species survey data necessary for deriving national-level biodiversity information has recently begun to meet the necessary conditions. Applying the Chao 2 method, the species richness of indigenous plants estimated at 3,182.6 for the 70-year period since 1951. A minimum cumulative period of 7 years is required for this estimation. This plant species richness from this study can be a baseline to study future changes in species richness in South Korea. Moreover, the integrated data with the estimation method for species richness used in this study appears to be applicable to derive regional biodiversity indices such as for local government units as well.

A preliminary test section was selected in the Comilla region of Bangladesh, and test construction has been completed. Subsequent evaluations of the structural performance by soil layer in the test construction area will be conducted to develop a Geocell road pavement method, taking into consideration the characteristics of the Bangladesh region.

PURPOSES : This study was conducted to evaluate the physical properties of the RAP 50 asphalt mixture containing polymer modified rejuvenator and warm-mix additive to improve the recycling rate of RAP and reduce CO2 emission. METHODS : Mix design of Polymer Modified Warm-mix Asphalt Mixture(RAP 50), and Hot Mix Asphalt Mixture(RAP 30) were produced and the properties of asphalt mixture such as Marshall Stability, ITS, Deformation Strength, TSR, and Dynamic Stability were compared between the two asphalt mixtures. RESULTS : The RAP 50 asphalt mixture showed superior or similar performances compared to the RAP 30 asphalt mixture in all the tests conducted. The results of the Marshall stability and dynamic stability in particular were 13,045N and 3,826 pass/mm, which were 11.37% and 76.7% greater than the RAP 30 asphalt mixture, which indicated that high plastic deformation resistance may be expected. CONCLUSIONS : The results obtained from laboratory tests on the two types of mixtures indicated that the use of polymer modified rejuvenator and warm-mix additive not only allows to increase the proportion of RAP but also improves its properties under lower temperature condition than RAP 30 asphalt mixture. Additionally, it was confirmed that plastic deformation resistance was high and moisture resistance and crack resistance were improved for a RAP 50 asphalt mixture.

건축물에 가해지는 풍하중을 평가하는 방법은 과거로부터 많은 발전을 이루었다. 그 중 비교적 간단한 방법인 가스트하중계 수법이 있다. 정적풍하중에 동적계수를 곱하여 등가정적풍하중을 평가하는 방법으로 여러나라 기준에서 사용되고 있다. 동적계수는 가 스트영향계수(Gust Effect Factor:DGEF)와 가스트하중계수가(Gust Loading Factor:MGLF)가 사용된다. DGEF는 변위 기반으로서 이론 적인 가정을 통해 산출할 수 있는 반면 그 과정이 다소 복잡하고, MGLF는 모멘트를 기반으로 하며 풍동실험으로 전도모멘트를 측정 하여 산정할 수 있지만 기초자료를 구축하는 것에 많은 시간과 노력이 소요된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 MGLF 산정 시 필요한 풍방향 평균풍력계수C F, 평균전도모멘트계수C M, 변동전도모멘트계수 C M 가 다양한 형상비( ), 변장비(D/B), 지표면조도구분(α)에 따 라 변화하는 경향을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 통해 풍방향 평균풍력계수 C F, 평균전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g, 변동전도모멘트 관련 계수 C g 의 경험식을 제안하여 MGLF 산정에 대한 기초자료를 제시하였다.

우리나라 여러 해양환경 지역으로부터 확보한 370주의 해양세균, 균류, 미세조류로부터 기초생 리활성(항산화, 항염, 항균, 항암, 항바이러스)을 조사하여 채집지, 분리원, 종(種) 수준에서의 활성결과를 비교하였다. 해양세균의 경우, 일반적으로 유용성이 많이 알려진 Streptomyces 속 과 Bacillus 속에 속하는 균주들이 두드러진 강한 효능이 관찰되었고, 주로 해양퇴적물로부터 유용한 자원을 분리할 수 있었다. 해양균류와 미세조류의 경우에도 종 특이적으로 활성이 강 하게 나타나는 결과를 확인할 수 있었고, 효능 특이적으로 활성을 보이는 결과도 얻을 수 있었 다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 추후 특정질병에 선택적으로 효능을 보이는 화학물질 연구 또는 자원 기반 연구 수행 시 유용성을 전제로 한 자원 확보 전략 수립과 산업 활성화를 위한 전 략소재로 우선적 접근이 용이할 수 있는 연구결과라 생각된다. 또한, 이들 결과를 해양바이오 뱅크를 통한 분양소재로 활용함으로써 학계, 산업계에서 활용하여 해양바이오산업 활성화에 좀 더 빠른 접근을 도울 수 있다고 생각한다.

PURPOSES : In this study, the resources and energy consumed to produce hot mix asphalt mixtures and hot mix reclaimed asphalt mixtures in asphalt concrete plants were estimated and the emissions from the detailed processes of the production process were evaluated based on TRACI(the tool for the reduction and assessment of chemical and other environmental impacts). METHODS : To estimate the energy consumption of the aggregate drying process, which consumes a significant amount of energy in the production process, an energy consumption calculation model based on the thermal equilibrium equation was used, and the energy consumed for material transportation, storage, and operation of other facilities was cited from the literature. RESULTS : For the system boundary conditions established and the inventory considered, the emissions to produce one ton of hot mix reclaimed asphalt mix are greater than the emissions to produce one ton of hot mix asphalt mix for a number of key impact categories. The process of producing hot mix reclaimed asphalt mixtures was evaluated to consume more resources and energy in the production of recycled aggregates and heating for drying than in the production of hot mix asphalt mixtures, but less resources and energy in the production of binders and natural virgin aggregates and the heating to heat these materials. CONCLUSIONS : The results of the emissions assessment using the life cycle inventory for the production of hot mix asphalt mixtures were generally similar to the results understood in the field and in much of the literatures, confirming the reliability of the methodology. However, in order to evaluate the dominance of specific processes or mixtures, it is believed that the construction of a wide range of inventory databases after inventory redesign is necessary for a specific and rigorous assessment.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to conduct basic research on the development of repair materials for cross-sectional repair of the concrete of the lower slab ceiling of an old bridge. METHODS : To estimate the performance as restoration materials, cross section rebound test, compressive strength test, flexural strength test, and firing shrinkage test was done. Rebound test was done by weight of amount of rebound and weight of concrete accumulated in frame. Cross section rebound test was done by put ruler in the deepest part of concrete stick on frame. Compressive and flexural strength test was done based on KS F 2405 and KS F 2408. Firing shrinkage test was done based on ASTM C 1579-16. RESULTS : As a result of the experiment, an appropriate bonding thickness was secured by mixing natural fibers, polymers, early steel cement, and expansion materials, and the dust reducing agent was excluded due to the problem of lowering compressive strength. In addition, the amount of rebound was reduced by using a hydro mix nozzle, and plastic shrinkage cracks were also reduced due to the internal curing effect of natural fibers. CONCLUSIONS : This study was a basic study in the development of repair materials for cross-sectional repair of the lower ceiling of an aged bridge slab, and developed a material with appropriate performance. However, there is a problem that the amount of rebound and dust increases depending on the type of cement, so experiments will be conducted by changing the type of cement in future research.

PURPOSES : This study intended to derive a methodology that can evaluate water splash caused by distress on the road surface based on experimental methods and to present quantitatively by analyzing the impact on road users. METHODS : Through literature review, the current problems of road pavement and drainage facility standards, the factors of road splash caused by puddle was selected to measure damage. Field measurements were conducted by setting different conditions for each factors and setting different conditions based on the hypothesis. In addition, water splash by surface distress type and puddle was measured to analyze using statistical techniques from correlation to multi-regression. RESULTS : The maximum and effective distance due to road splash increases as the driving speed, regardless of vehicle load and tyre type. Splash was measured according to the type of road distress to analyze the correlation between the influencing factors, and there was a weak correlation between the width and length of the puddle, depth and the effective distance. In addition, the interaction analysis showed that there was an interaction between the width of the water hole and the depth of puddle. Moreover, based on the multi-regression analysis, it was not statistical significant. This is judged to that the number of data samples used for this analysis is limited because the diversity of puddle conditions cannot be set differently for each type of distress. CONCLUSIONS : Since the distress of depending on the size, depth and shape of the road surface, it is necessary to calculate it and present maintenance standards, so this results present an experimental methodology that can intuitively evaluate damage cased by unestablished puddle. From this results, this is expected to be used as a quantitative indicator to evaluate the satisfaction of road users as a functional performance according to road surface condition.

PURPOSES : Experimental findings pertaining to the mechanical properties and microstructures of calcium sulfo-aluminate (CSA) cement and amorphous calcium aluminate (ACA) cement based-repair mortars incorporated with anhydrite gypsum (AG) are described herein. METHODS : To prepare the mortars, the CSA or ACA as binders were adopted and the ratio of water–binder was fixed at 0.57. For comparison, mortar made of Type I ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was prepared. The fluidity, setting time, compressive and bond strengths and absorption of the mortars were measured at predetermined periods. In addition, the microstructures of paste samples using OPC, CSA or ACA were visually examined through SEM observation. RESULTS : The ACA-based mortars showed the increases in the fluidity, and the acceleration of the setting time. Furthermore, the ACAbased binder effectively enhanced the compressive and bond strengths of the mortars owing to amount of formation of C2AH8 hydrates. Meanwhile, the mortar with ACA showed an excellence absorption. CONCLUSIONS : Comparing with those of CSA-based mortars, the mechanical properties of ACA based-mortars were more remarkable. However, further studies regarding the durability of repair mortars using aluminate-based binders must be conducted to obtain the optimal mixture.

이 연구는 한국의 대학 연구자들이 무엇을 과학자의 사회적 책임으로서 중시하고 있고, 또 연구자의 사회적 책임에 대한 상이한 인식에 영향을 주는 요인들은 무엇인지를 탐구한다. 분석 결과, 학문적으로 우수한 연구 결과 창출을 가장 중요한 과학자의 사회적 책임으로 꼽은 응답자가 가장 많았고, 이어 사회문제해결에 기여하는 연구 수행, 산업적으로 활용이 가능한 연구 수행의 순으로 나타났다. 연구윤리를 준수한 연구활동이나 연구실 구성원(학문후속세대)에 대한 후원과 돌봄을 선택한 응답자는 상대적으로 소수였다. 즉, 과 학자의 사회적 책임에 관한 학술적, 정책적 담론과 달리, 연구자들은 전체 사회에 대한 책임 보다 과학 내부에 대한 책임을 자신들의 사회적 책임으로 강조하는 경향을 보였다. 각각의 사회적 책임에 대한 응답을 결정하는 요인을 살펴본 결과, 기초연구비중은 학문적으로 우수한 연구 결과 창출 대비 산업적 연구, 연구윤리준수, 사회문제해결에 기여를 연구자의 사회적 책임으로 인식할 가능성에 부정적인 영향을 주고 있었다. 연구윤리준수와 사회문제해결에의 기여의 경우, 기초연구비중의 영향은 기초연구자들의 내재적 연구동기를 통제했을 때 통계적 유의미성이 사라졌으나, 산업적 연구의 경우 내재적 연구동기를 통제해도 기초연구비중의 영 향은 유의미하게 남았다.
