With the increasing scale and span of bridge structures, there has been a growing demand to reduce construction accidents and shorten the duration of pier construction. Conventional pier construction methods using steel formworks involve repetitive installation and dismantling processes, which require high-level work and pose a significant risk of fall accidents. In addition, the complexity of these processes limits construction efficiency. In this study, a rapid pier construction method using precast concrete stay-in-place formwork applied to pier columns and copings was proposed, and its structural performance and constructability were evaluated through experimental and analytical investigations. Composite and bond performance tests between the precast stay-in-place formwork and cast-in-place concrete were conducted for both column and coping components. Furthermore, construction-stage analyses were performed to assess structural stability during construction. The experimental results showed that the flexural strength of the composite column section reached approximately 105% of that of the monolithic reinforced concrete section, while the composite coping section achieved approximately 107%. The bond performance test results also confirmed that sufficient bond strength satisfying the design requirements was secured. Constructability analysis indicated that the elimination of the formwork dismantling process enables a reduction in construction duration and a significant improvement in construction safety compared to conventional steel formwork methods. Therefore, the proposed PCS-Pier method can be considered a viable alternative for pier construction, providing both structural safety and improved construction efficiency.
This study proposes a data-driven framework for analyzing freeway driving behavior using multiple real-world trajectory datasets, and applies it consistently to mainline and ramp sections. The four large-scale datasets—namely highD, exiD, NGSIM I-80, and NGSIM US- 101—were processed through a unified preprocessing pipeline that converted all variables to International System Units(SI), resampled trajectories to 10 Hz, applied Savitzky-Golay smoothing to speed, and removed physically implausible and statistical outliers based on joint physical-statistical criteria. For each vehicle, 24 summary features were constructed from six longitudinal indicators–speed, acceleration, deceleration, time headway (THW), distance headway (DHW), and time-to-collision (TTC)–using their minimum, maximum, mean, and standard deviation. Indicator distributions by road type were compared using relative frequency histograms with common binning; then, principal component analysis (PCA) and K-means clustering were applied independently to each dataset. The leading principal components revealed interpretable axes related to longitudinal driving intensity (speed and acceleration level), safety margin (THW/DHW/TTC), and onramp sections; responsiveness was characterized by acceleration-deceleration variability, as observed within the analyzed datasets. Cluster interpretation yielded four relative driving behavior categories–aggressive, responsive, stable, and defensive–defined within each dataset based on indicator levels and variability rather than absolute thresholds.
This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of cementless concrete using industrial byproducts as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional cement concrete. Ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), fly ash (FA), and silica fume (SF) were employed as binder materials, and the mechanical performance, plastic shrinkage behavior, and microstructural characteristics of cementless concrete were investigated to verify its applicability as a structural and shotcrete material capable of reducing CO₂ emissions. Cementless concrete mixtures were prepared using GGBFS, FA, and SF as binders, activated by sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate with water-to-binder (W/B) ratios of 0.40, 0.45, and 0.50. Conventional cement concrete with equivalent water ratios was used for comparison. Compressive strength tests were conducted at curing ages of 1, 3, 7, 14, and 28 days. Plastic shrinkage cracking was evaluated according to the ASTM C1579 standard. Microstructural development and reaction products were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. Cementless concrete with W/B ratios of 0.45 and 0.50 exhibited compressive strength comparable to or higher than that of cement concrete from early ages and demonstrated superior 28-day strength performance. No plastic shrinkage cracking was observed for any mixture, indicating excellent early-age crack resistance. SEM analysis revealed progressive densification of the microstructure owing to the formation of C-(A)-S-H and N-A-S-H gel phases with increasing curing age. XRD results showed limited portlandite formation in cementless concrete, accompanied by an increased development of aluminosilicate reaction products after 7 days, resulting in reduced porosity and enhanced structural compactness. Experimental results confirmed that cementless concrete incorporating industrial byproducts can achieve mechanical performance and durability characteristics comparable to or exceeding those of conventional cement concrete when an appropriate W/B ratio is applied. Reduced portlandite formation and dominant alkali-activated reaction products contributed to the improved chemical stability and resistance to deterioration. Therefore, cementless concrete has a strong potential as a sustainable construction material capable of reducing CO₂ emissions while maintaining its structural performance, particularly for shotcrete applications.

리튬 이온 배터리의 안전성과 지속가능성에 대한 수요 증가는 기존의 폴리올레핀 분리막을 대체할 수 있는 셀룰 로오스 기반 분리막 개발을 촉진하고 있다. 본 총설은 수압 공정을 통해 제조된 셀룰로오스 아세테이트(cellulose acetate, CA) 분리막의 최적화 전략을 종합적으로 분석하였다. 특히, 기공 구조, 열적 안정성, 기계적 강도를 조절하는 데 있어 유기 및 무 기 첨가제의 역할을 중점적으로 고찰하였다. 유기산은 고분자 사슬의 가소화를 통해 나노기공 형성을 유도하여 높은 기공률 과 조절 가능한 기공 크기를 제공하지만, 열적 안정성이 다소 저하되는 한계가 있다. 반면, 무기 염과 산화물, 특히 칼슘계 화 합물은 이온 상호작용과 가교결합을 통해 열적 안정성을 크게 향상시키는 것으로 나타났다.
In this paper, for a seismic analysis of an offshore subsea manifold, Response Spectrum Analysis(RSA) and Time History Analysis(THA) were conducted under a various analysis conditions. Response spectrum and seismic design procedure have followed ISO19901-2 code. In case of THA, The response spectrum were converted into artificial earthquake history and both of Explicit and Implicit solvers were used to examine the characteristics of seismic analysis. For the verification, Various seismic analysis methods were applied on a single degree of freedom beam model and a simplified model of the actual manifold. The difference between the results of RSA and THA on the simplified manyfold model evaluated for the analysis of the actual manifold. Because THA is impossible in case of real complex structure such as a manifold, Safety of the actual manifold structure was accessed by using the RSA and the difference between the results of RSA and THA from the simplified model.
Abstract In this study, the antioxidant activity of water and ethanol extracts from Hibiscus esculentus, Cirsium japonicum, Zizania latifolia and Kalopanax pictus for functional food source were examined. The optimal conditions for phenolic compounds extraction from medicinal plants were at 50% ethanol with Hibiscus esculentus and Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense, at 40% ethanol with Kalopanax pictus and at 60% ethanol with Zizania latifolia. The total phenolic contents from the extracts of medical plants were determined to be 2.72~34.15 mg/g in the water extracts and 2.83~34.23 mg/g in the ethanol extracts. The electron-donating abilities (EDA) of the water and ethanol extracts were both above 74% at the low concentration of 50 μg/mL. The ABTS radical-cation decolorization was above 88% at 100 μg/mL concentration in all the extracts of various medicinal plants. The antioxidant protection factor (PF) in the water and ethanol extracts of the Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense extracts was 1.73 ± 0.02 PF and 1.76 ± 0.01 PF at 50 μg/mL concentration respectively, and was higher than those of the other medicinal-plant extracts. The TBARs inhibition rates of all the medicinal-plant extracts, were above 80% at the 50 μg/mL concentration except Hibiscus esculentus. These results confirmed that the various oriental medicinal plants (Hibiscus esculentus, Cirsium japonicum var. ussuriense, Kalopanax pictus and Zizania latifolia) that were included in this study are useful anti-oxidant and functional-food resources.

The objective of this study was to identify the anti-oxidation, astringent, and inhibition effects of wild Ligularia fischeri on hyaluronidase and angiotensin conerting enzyme (ACE). In order to identify the total phenolic compound (TPC), various solvents were used for extraction showing hot water extract with the highest value of 14.42 GAE mg/g. In addition, ABTS radical scavenging activity measurements revealed an anti-oxdiation effect of 98.64-99.84% a hot water extract concentration of 50-200 μg/mL and a radical scavenging activity of 95.14-98.96% at a 60% ethanol extract content. If expressed in antioxidant protection factors (PF), the hot water extract showed 0.59-1.02 PF and the 60% ethanol sample displayed 0.30-0.74 PF. To identify the bio-activity effect, the hyaluronidase inhibition effect was determined as 4.66-35.00% in a 50-200 μg/mL hot water extract. Considering ACE inhibition effect, the hot water extract and 60% ethanol sample showed 0-64.24% and 46.12-69.64% inhibition effect, respectively. Lastly, when taking into account the astringent effect, the hot water extract with 50-200 μg/mL TPC concentration showed 15.68-26.92% and the 60% ethanol sample with an equal concentration exhibited 49.48-86.84%, which indicates the possibility to apply this product as a cosmetic source for pore contraction. Therefore, wild Ligularia fischeri extract can be used for anti-inflammation, high-blood pressure prevention, and as a source for health functional food with anti-oxidative properties.
This study was designed to determine the biological activities of Chionanthus retusus flower extracts. Water and 90% ethanol extracts of C. retusus flower were prepared. The inhibitory activities of water and ethanol extracts with a phenolic content of 200 μg/mL against xanthine oxidase were 25.60% and 15.92%, respectively. Further, the water extract did not show any inhibitory activity against α-glucosidase whereas the ethanol extract showed 100.00% inhibition of α-glucosidase. The inhibitory activities of the extracts against tyrosinase were 17.27% (water extract) and 36.13% (ethanol extract), which suggest that the extracts may have a whitening effect. The water extract did not inhibit elastase activity but showed a collagenase-inhibitory activity of 20.21%. On the contrary, the ethanol extract showed 96.26% and 35.93% inhibition of collagenase and elastase, respectively. These findings suggest that the extracts may have an anti-wrinkle effect. Lastly, the extracts showed a hyaluronidase inhibitory activity of 36.96% (water extract) and 88.70% (ethanol extract), suggesting that they may have an anti-inflammatory effect. The results indicate that C. retusus flower extracts containing phenolic compounds can be used as functional resources because they have anti-gout, carbohydrate degradation-inhibitory, whitening, anti-wrinkle, and anti-inflammatory effects.
