Construction guidelines for porous asphalt have been revised to satisfy a porosity of at least 16% according to quality standards. Porous asphalt is widely used for pavements on highways and major urban roads, providing advantages such as improving drainage, preventing hydroplaning, and reducing road noise through a porous structure. It suppresses hydroplaning on the road surface, improves skid resistance during rainfall, shortens vehicle braking distance because rainwater does not accumulate, secures nighttime visibility, and prevents accidents. Porous asphalt reduces the noise surrounding a road to approximately 3–5 dB by absorbing the air vibration caused by the air compression of tires driving on the road with high porosity. For these reasons, it is applied to roads near residential areas and sound insulation sections in urban areas. However, porous asphalt is also accompanied by structural weaknesses. Owing to the characteristics of porous asphalt, the adhesion between aggregates is weakened due to the mixing characteristics of open-graded aggregate skeleton with low fine aggregate content, resulting in various problems such as a decrease in the stability of the mixture, binder draindown, cracks, raveling, and the decrease in durability due to moisture penetration. If the load in the pores is not dispersed or the binder flows downward, structural destruction is promoted, leading to a reduction ins long-term pavement life. Porous asphalt mixtures have large voids and weak interaggregate bonding strength, which reduces the stability of the mixture. Because the binder draindown and durability decreases owing to moisture penetration, reinforcement of the mixture is necessary to ensure long-term performance. Currently, most of the fibers used in porous asphalt are natural fibers, such as cellulose and synthetic fibers; however, there is a limit to securing the structural stability of the mixture within the pores. In this study, a new fiber was developed based on CALPET to compensate for the limitations of existing fiber reinforcements, and its applicability was reviewed by comparing and analyzing the physical characteristics of the porous asphalt mixture. The mixing of CALPET resulted in a 7% reduction in cantabro loss compared to cellulose fibers, and a statistically significant improvement in dynamic stability test results by inorganic components of CALPET.

This study investigated the hot deformation behavior and microstructural evolution of PH13-8Mo precipitation-hardening stainless steel. Hot compression tests were performed at temperatures ranging from 900 to 1,200 °C and strain rates of 0.01 to 10 s-1. Constitutive equations based on the Zener-Hollomon parameter were established by considering the compensation of strain, where the material constants were fitted with 6th-order polynomials. The established model showed high predictability with a correlation coefficient of 0.994 and an average absolute relative error of 4.39 %. A hot processing map was developed based on the Dynamic Materials Model, identifying unstable regions characterized by negative instability criteria under low-temperature/high-strain-rate conditions, as well as specific moderate-rate zones. Electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) integrated analysis [inverse pole figure (IPF), kernel average misorientation (KAM), and grain orientation spread (GOS)] revealed that while dynamic recrystallization promoted grain refinement through necklace structures at 900 °C and 0.01 s-1, high-temperature deformation at 1,200 °C led to significant grain coarsening and high transformation-induced stress. Furthermore, regions of instability were confirmed to cause flow localization and strain hotspots, detrimental to structural integrity. Consequently, the moderate temperature region around 1,100 °C with a low strain rate is proposed as the optimal window for achieving uniform and stable prior austenite grain structures.

This study investigated the hot deformation behavior and dynamic recrystallization (DRX) characteristics of a coarse-grained Fe-24Mn steel slab using plane strain compression (PSC) tests. Tests were conducted at 900-1,000 °C and strain rates of 0.5-10 s-1. Constitutive equations based on the Zener-Hollomon parameter accurately predicted flow stress ( ). A processing map based on the Dynamic Materials Model (DMM) predicted flow instability at high strain rates (10 s-1) due to a negative strain rate sensitivity exponent. However, electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) analysis revealed that these regions actually exhibited a fully recrystallized microstructure with low Kernel Average Misorientation (KAM) values, contradicting the DMM prediction. This discrepancy is attributed to adiabatic heating during high-speed deformation, which induces thermal softening and provides the driving force for DRX. Consequently, the region with negative power dissipation efficiency at high strain rates should be reinterpreted not as a failure zone, but as a window for efficient microstructural refinement. The study identifies 950 °C and 10 s-1 as the optimal processing conditions for grain refinement of the as-cast slab.

산업 발전에 따라 도로 연장이 지속적으로 증가하면서 폐 아스팔트 발생량이 늘어나자, 국내에서는 순환골재를 의무적으로 사 용하도록 관련 규정을 마련하였다. 현장 플랜트에서 순환 아스팔트 혼합물을 생산할 때 재생첨가제를 투입해야 하는 경우, 국 토교통부 “아스팔트 콘크리트 포장 시공 지침“에서는 재생첨가제와 아스팔트를 동시에 투입하도록 명시하고 있다. 그러나 혼합 시간이 부족하거나 혼합 과정이 불량할 경우, 재생첨가제가 균일하게 분산되지 않아 혼합물 품질이 저하될 우려가 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존의 건식 혼합 방식에서 발생하는 문제점을 해소하고자, 아스팔트 플랜트의 Pre-Mixer를 활용하여 아스팔트 바인더와 첨가제를 사전에 혼합하고, 혼합 시간을 달리한 시료를 추출하여 DSR(Dynamic Shear Rheometer) 장비를 통한 MSCR 시험을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 혼합시간이 증가함에 따라 Jnr 값은 증가하고, %Recovery 값은 감소하는 경향이 확인되었 으며, 혼합 시간이 바인더 특성 변화에 유의미한 영향을 미치는 것을 확인하였다. 추가적으로 t-검정을 통해 이러한 경향의 통 계적 유의성을 검증한 결과, Jnr 값은 3-5분, 7-9분, %Recovery 값은 1-3분, 3-5분, 7-9분 구간에서 p값이 0.05 이상으로 나타 나 통계적으로 유의미한 차이가 없었다.

We developed a filling seal ring packing machine and carried out the conveying distance and container airtightness tests, and obtained the following results. As a result of testing whether the packaging paper is within 25mm of conveying distance and whether it is suitable for achieving the goal, the prototype with the target feeding distance of 23mm was shortened to 16.4mm for the right pavement line and 20.4mm for the left line, saving 80% compared to the existing one. As a result of the test of the automatic packaging machine for filling and sealing the air tightness of the container, it was confirmed that the air tightness was 100% maintained.

This study aims to reduce the use of chloride-based deicers by analyzing their residual quantities on road surfaces. The freezing conditions of road surfaces were quantitatively defined using needles of consistent weight and diameter, and indoor experiments were conducted to observe changes in surface conditions caused by residual deicers under various temperatures. To validate the equipment, a deicer currently used in Korea was applied to granite plates, and the correlation between the application rates and salinity measurements obtained using the SOBO3+ device was analyzed. Subsequently, the device was employed to measure salinity changes over time by assessing the variations in residual deicer quantities on roads with different traffic volumes and application rates. To identify issues in current reapplication methods, the deicer was reapplied at 2-h intervals, and the resulting changes in salinity were monitored. Results of laboratory experiments revealed that the interval for surface state changes decreases with the temperature despite increased deicer usage, and that similar surface change patterns are presented at higher (-2 °C, -4 °C) and lower temperatures (-6 °C, -10 °C). Across all temperatures, the coefficient of determination for the surface-change graph is approximately 0.90. Equipment verification shows that 10% of sodium chloride is underestimated, whereas aqueous calcium chloride is accurately measured and no correlation is indicated between measurement accuracy and road surface temperature. Field experiments confirmed that the deicer dispersion rates increases with the traffic volume. Furthermore, the final salinity increases after the reapplication of the deicer, except in cases of high traffic volume, and that repeated applications with reduced spray amounts are more effective than single applications with higher spray amounts under low traffic conditions. Based on the findings obtained, a plan to reduce deicer usage is proposed. Future research should incorporate additional variables that affect deicer loss and surface condition changes to further refine the results.

This study evaluates adhesion strength under various conditions to ensure adhesion performance during asphalt-pavement maintenance. The adhesion performance of a tack coat varies under various conditions. Therefore, to evaluate its curing behavior, several tests, i.e., evaporation residue rate, tracking, tack-lifter, and shear bond strength tests, were conducted based on the type, amount, and curing time of the tack coat.The result of the evaporation residue rate test shows that, except for the SSC tack coat, RSC-4 and modified tack coats require similar curing times, even though the modified tack coats have a lower moisture content. Additionally, based on the evaporation residue rate, the tracking and track-lifter test results show that approximately 75% curing is required to prevent the loss of the tack coat during asphaltpavement maintenance. After maintenance work is completed, the shear bond strength was measured to evaluate the curing properties of the tack coat. The results show that the amount applied, curing degree, and shear bond strength are proportional, whereas the modified tack coat indicate a significant difference in the strength increase rate depending on the curing degree. Additionally, when dust is attached to the surface of the tack coat, the difference in strength exceeds 20%, depending on the attachment ratio.To achieve the best adhesion performance by the tack coat during maintenance work, the loss of the tack coat should be prevented by implementing the exact curing time determined experimentally, regardless of whether the tack coat is modified, and the surface where the tack coat is applied should be cleaned before application.

This study was conducted using mold heat. By developing the cleaning process technology, the production test was improved by twice, and the heat washing time reduction test and defect rate were also reduced. We designed an automatic production system for automatic heat torches and devised an automated continuous process system to improve the mold process. The production capacity test doubled the production rate of the product per 1 hour from the target of 500 to 1,040 per hour, and the heat cleaning time reduction test measured the time from the beginning of heat injection to the product sample during the production process and the end time, which shortened the development target of 5 seconds (sec) to 2.78 seconds (sec), and the defect rate was reduced to 4.25% as a result of the defect rate test. The system development of this project has doubled the production volume

To utilize textured vegetable protein (TVP) instead of meat in kimchi stew, TVP of different sizes were added to kimchi stew under different cooking conditions. Canned Kimchi stew was prepared by adding processed TVP. Physicochemical quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of the broth, kimchi, and meat (or TVP) were measured. The pH and salinity did not show a significant difference between treatment groups in the broth or kimchi. However, the TVP treatment group showed higher pH and lower salinity than the control group. There was no significant difference in color between control group and TVP-treated groups. In terms of texture, the control group had the lowest hardness, gumminess, and chewiness, followed by TVP-1 and TVP-2 manufactured after pre-cooking, which showed lower hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. The smaller the size of the TVP, the lower the hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. Results of shear force were consistent with those of hardness. Contents of flavonoid and polyphenol compounds as antioxidant components did not increase or decrease with the addition of TVP. There were no significant differences in antioxidant activities among experimental groups.

To determine the differences in food quality between fish fed a low fish meal diet containing black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) instead of fish meal and those fed a general fish meal diet, we analyzed the approximate components, mineral content, amino acid composition, fatty acid composition, color, and texture of Flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus). The analysis of approximate components showed no difference between the two samples, except for moisture content. Mineral contents were measured in the order of K, P, Na, and Mg in both samples, with no difference except for phosphorus (P). A total of 16 amino acids were detected in both samples, with no significant differences in their composition. Additionally, 17 types of free amino acids were identified, with no significant differences between the two samples. The fatty acid composition consisted of 13 fatty acids, with palmitic acid, DHA, and oleic acid being the most prominent, although slight differences in content were observed. The color and texture also showed no differences between the two samples. Overall, there were no significant differences in chemical components or physical characteristics, so it was judged to be insignificant in terms of food science.

This study investigated the tracking loss rate and shear bond strength under various conditions to evaluate the properties of a trackless tack coat used in asphalt pavement maintenance and conducted a field investigation in which the trackless tack coat was used. Typically, the loss rate and bond strength of a tack coat depend on various conditions. Therefore, to evaluate the loss rate of the tack coat, a wheel-tracking attachment loss rate and tack lifter test were conducted by simulating high-temperature exposure conditions, and the shear bond strength was measured according to the surface condition of the bottom layer. In addition, field investigations of cracks, rutting, and potholes were conducted at 11 sites five years after the application of the trackless tack coat. The results of the wheel-tracking loss rate evaluation showed that the loss rate differed depending on the conditions of the bottom layer, and the loss rate of the trackless tack coat was very low at the same temperature as that of the rapid strength concrete (RSC). In addition, in the results of tack lifter test at 65℃, which had the highest loss rate by wheel tracking loss rate test, it was found that loss rate of trackless tack coat was 0%–29% lower than that of RSC for the same exposure time. As a result of evaluating the effect of the bottom layer's condition on the shear bond strength, it was found that the trackless tack coat was about 20% higher than RSC under the same conditions. In addition, when foreign substances such as dust were present in the bottom layer, the shear bond strength was reduced by approximately 28%. Field investigations of the trackless-applied section showed that potholes and rutting did not occur, and alligator cracks and linear cracks occurred in some sections; however, it was judged that there was little direct relationship with the trackless tack coat. The trackless tack coat was found to have a slight loss owing to tracking, even at relatively high temperatures, and the shear bond strength was excellent. In addition, if the construction process is properly conducted, an advantage will be attained in securing the performance life of asphalt pavements.

Pavements have historically been used for mobility, but their usage in cities is steadily increasing owing to social and cultural development. Urban development is rapidly accelerating, primarily because of the concentration of the urban population. Additionally, the effects of the urban heat island are intensifying owing to global warming. One of the main factors contributing to this phenomenon is the increase in impermeable layers, such as asphalt and concrete pavements, in city centers. Various technological developments have been conducted to reduce the effects of urban heat islands. This study developed a moisture-retaining asphalt that absorbs moisture by incorporating a highly super-absorbent polymer (SAP) into a porous asphalt mixture, with the aim of alleviating the urban-heat-island effect. The porous asphalt mixture was designed accordingly. When the mixing design was completed, tests for the tensile strength ratio (TSR), asphalt wheel tracking, and indoor water permeability were conducted on the porous asphalt. Moreover, Hamburg wheel tracking and dynamic water acupuncture tests were performed to evaluate the compatibility of SAP moisture-retaining asphalt, and the results were as follows: Depending on the type and content of SAP, we confirmed that the TSR and permeability coefficient decreased as the amount of SAP increased, resulting in a decrease in durability. In addition, thermal characteristics and simulations showed that the SAP asphalt mixture would have a heat island reduction effect. In this paper, guidelines for the blending design of SAP moisture-retaining asphalt are presented with the aim of alleviating the urban heat island phenomenon by ensuring durability while simultaneously reducing surface temperatures.

To utilize textured vegetable protein (TVP) in food manufacturing, TVP was soaked in salt solutions of different concentrations. Physicochemical quality characteristics of TVP were then measured. When TVP was soaked in a salt solution, the pH tended to increase compared to the control. However, the pH decreased after 18 hours of soaking. The salinity of the control decreased slightly from the initial value depending on the soaking time. The group treated with salt solution showed higher salinity than the control. Water absorption capacity of the control increased as the soaking time increased. However, water absorption capacity of the group treated with salt solution decreased as the concentration of salt solution increased. Lightness of the group treated with salt solution showed less change than the control during soaking. The redness increased as the concentration of salt solution increased. The yellowness increased compared to the control during soaking. Hardness, gumminess, and chewiness of the control decreased during soaking in water. The group treated with salt solution showed significantly higher hardness, gumminess, and chewiness as the concentration of the salt solution increased. However, adhesiveness, elasticity, and cohesiveness generally did not show significant differences among samples.

동절기에 시민들의 안전 및 편리성을 위하여 도로 유지 보수는 필수적이다. 유지 보수 중 도로의 눈 및 얼음을 제거하기 위해서는 제설제를 살포하는 것이 가장 일반적이다. 하지만, 국내의 제설제 재살포 시기 및 양에 대해서는 연구된 바가 존재하지 않는 실정이기 때문에 제설제 살포 후 녹은 눈이 재결빙이 되는 소요시간이 3시간이라는 점을 참고하여 현재 국내에서는 기후 변화에 관계없이 3시 간마다 초기에 살포한 양을 제설제를 살포하거나 현장 감독자의 주관적인 판단으로 제설제 살포량을 결정하여 제설제 살포를 실시하 고 있다. 이렇게 무분별한 제설제 살포는 과다 살포로 이루어져 환경 및 구조적 문제를 야기할 수 있으며 위 문제를 해결하기 위해서 는 도로에 잔존하고 있는 제설제의 양을 파악하고 무분별한 제설제 살포를 막아야할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 도로에 물을 살포하여 전기전도도를 이용하여 염분을 측정하는 장비인 SOBO3+를 이용하여 도로의 잔존염분량을 측정하기 전, 국내 고속도로에서 사용되는 제설제와 SOBO3+ 장비와의 상관 관계를 분석하여 장비 검증을 실시하였다. 실험은 국내에서 가장 많이 사용되는 살포 방법 인 습염식 살포 방법을 참고하여 고형 염화나트륨과 30% 염화칼슘 수용액을 사용하였으며 정확한 염분 측정치를 얻기 위하여 매끄러 운 화강판 및 고형 염화나트륨을 모두 용해시켜 측정을 진행하였다. 제설제 살포량은 염화나트륨의 경우 SOBO3+가 최대 50g/m² 까지 밖에 측정이 가능하다는 점을 참고하여 10~50g/m² 범위에서 살포 밀도를 10g/m²씩 변화시켜가며 측정한 결과, 살포량 대비 약 10% 과 소평가되어 측정됨을 확인하였다. 또한 염화칼슘 수용액의 경우 국토교통부 도로제설업무수행요령을 참고하여 국내 습염식 살포 기준 에서 염화칼슘 수용액 살포량이 최대 20g/m²을 초과하지 않아, 10~30g/m² 범위에서 살포 밀도를 10g/m²씩 변화시켜가며 측정한 결과, 살포량 대비 약 70% 과소 평가 되는 것을 확인하여 30% 염화칼슘 수용액을 정확하게 측정하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 노면 온도가 측정 성능에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것을 확인하였다.

택코트란 아스팔트 포장 공사 시 기존 아스팔트층과 신설 아스팔트 층 사이에 부착성을 증가시키기 위하여 사용되는 재료이다. 교통 하중으로 인해 포장 경계면에서 수평전단응력 및 수직인장응력이 발생하게 되는데 택코트의 유실, 양생 부족 등의 문제로 접착 성능 이 부족하면 포장층의 분리, 밀림과 같은 도로 파괴가 형상이 나타날 수 있다. 현재 국내에서는 국토교통부 아스팔트 콘크리트 포장 시공 지침에 택코트 살포량에 대한 기준은 존재하지만 기존 및 신설 아스팔트 포장층 사이에 택코트의 접착강도에 대한 기준은 존재 하지 않는 실정이다, 이는 접착강도 특성이 분석되지 않은 택코트를 사용함에 따라 아스팔트 포장의 공용성 측면에서 문제를 초래할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PG등급이 다른 택코트 4종류에 대한 인장 및 전단접착강도를 확인하기 위하여 인장접착강도 시험, 전 단접착강도 시험을 진행하였다. 택코트의 양생정도에 따른 접착강도 특성을 확인해보기 위하여 택코트의 수분이 증발됨에 따라 중량 변화가 없는 상태를 양생 100%로 하여 양생 0%, 50%, 100%로 진행하였으며, 살포량은 국토교통부 아스팔트 콘크리트 시공 지침에 따 라 0.5ℓ/m2로 진행하였다. 사용된 택코트 종류에 관계 없이 양생 정도가 증가함에 따라 접착강도는 증가하는 추세를 보였으며, 인장 및 전단접착강도 시험에 관계없이 초기 양생(양생 0%~50%)보다 양생 50% 이후에서의 더 높게 강도가 발현된 것을 확인하였다. 또한 PG등급이 높은 택코트가 인장 및 전단접착강도에 관계없이 접착강도 성능이 우수한 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 추후 택코트의 종류를 추 가하여 PG등급이 분류가 이루어진 후에 접착강도 시험을 진행하여 결과를 확인할 예정이다.

Developed a double-tube input straight line automatic adjustment feeder, which resulted in reducing the defect rate to less than 1%.

To produce super sweet corn sikhye, substituted for sweetener, the ratio of rice and super sweet corn was adjusted and processed with complex enzymes during saccharification, and their physicochemical and sensory properties were analyzed. The soluble solid content of the control and Corn-5 showed significantly high content at 13.50 °Brix, and the reducing sugar content of Corn-5 showed the highest content at 9.45%. The control showed the lowest free sugar content among all the experimental groups, excluding maltose content. In the enzyme-treated corn sikhye group, as the amount of super sweet corn increased, the content of sucrose decreased and the contents of glucose and fructose increased. The content of ascorbic acid and polyphenol compounds increased as the amount of super sweet corn increased. DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging abilities increased with increasing ratio of super sweet corn and enzyme treatment compared to the control. In the case of sensory evaluation, Corn-3, which substituted 30% of super sweet corn for rice and treated with enzymes, showed higher evaluations in taste, sweetness, and overall preference than those of the control.
