Glass fiber reinforced thermosetting polymer plastic (GRP) is widely used in the construction industries due to the advantages of their superior mechanical and physical characteristics. Most of pipes are installed for long-term purposes and they should be safely installed in consideration of installation conditions because there are unexpected various terrestrial loading conditions. In this paper, we present the result of investigation for 253 days pertaining to the structural behavior of flexible pipes buried underground. From the buried test results, we predicted long-term, up to 60 years, ring deflection of GRP pipes buried underground based on the method suggested by the existing literature. It was found that the GRP flexible pipe is appropriate because 5% ring deflection limitation of 60 years could be satisfied.

Pultruded glass fiber reinforced polymeric plastic (PFRP) and FRP member manufactured by sheet molding compound (SMC) have superior mechanical and physical properties compared with those of conventional structural materials. Since FRP has an excellent corrosion-resistance and high specific strength and stiffness, the FRP material may be highly appreciated for the development of floating-type photovoltaic (PV) power generation system. In this paper, advanced floating PV generation system made of PFRP and SMC is designed. In the design, it includes tracking solar altitude by tilting photovoltaic arrays and tracking solar azimuth by spinning structures. Moreover, the results of the finite element analysis (FEA) are presented to confirm stability of entire structure under the external loads. Additionally, installation procedure and mooring systems in the Hap-Cheon Dam are discussed and the measurement of strain under the actual circumstances is conducted for assuring stability of actually installed structures. Finally, by comparison with allowable stress, appropriate safety of structure is confirmed to operate the system.

토목, 건축 현장에서 굴착부 배면의 지반 및 각종 구조물의 안정을 유지하기 위하여 다양한 공법이 개발 및 적용되고 있다. 특히 인접한 건물 및 도로 등으로 인해 배면에 여유 공간이 없는 경우, 지중 연속벽 공법, 주열식 흙막이 공법이 사용되고 있다. 이러한 공법들은 콘크리트를 현장타설로 시공하여 품질관리의 어려움이 있고 양생기간으로 인한 시공기간의 길어지는 단점이 있다. 또한 위의 공법들은 대부분 임시시설로 사용되고 영구 구조체인 옹벽은 별도로 시공된다. 이 연구에서는 위에서 지적한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 프리캐스트 부재를 활용한 주열식 벽체용 중공 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 파일을 제안하였다. 제안된 파일의 휨에 대한 구조적 거동을 평가하기 위하여 긴장력 도입 실험과, 휨실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과, 설계에 따른 충분한 긴장력이 도입되었음을 확인하였고, 차수용 옹벽 또는 안벽 구조물로서 사용한계로 판단되는 균열모멘트 또한 설계시 계산된 균열모멘트에 비하여 약 34% 정도의 여유를 가짐을 확인하였다. 극한한계상태인 최대모멘트는 실험을 통해 얻은 균열모멘트에 대해 59.2%의 추가적이 사용성를 확보하고 있음을 확인하였다.

This study aimed at investigating the quality changes of Yukwa during storage using the various item packaging methods present in the domestic market. The samples consisted of a self-adhesive-oriented polypropylene (OPP)film pouch (P1), a heat-sealed OPP film pouch (P2), and a polystyrene (PS) tray with a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) lid (P3). These were stored at 25℃ up to eight weeks. Throughout the storage period, the acid values of all the study samples remained under the Korean hygiene regulation limit of 2.0 mg KOH/g. The P2 samples showed both the slowest decrease in water content and the slowest increase in hardness value during storage. Sensory evaluation also showed that the P2 samples were the only ones that maintained their market value of 5.0 throughout the eight-week assessment period.
