Nanopowders of titanium dioxide incorporating the transition metal element(s) were synthesized by flame synthesis method. Single element among Fe(III), Cr(III), and Zn(II) was doped into the interior of crystal; bimetal doping of Fe and Zn was also made. The characteristics of transition-metal-doped nanopowders in the particle feature, crystallography and electronic structures were determined with various analytical tools. The chemical bond of Fe-O-Zn was confirmed to exist in the bimetal-doped nanopowders incorporating Fe-Zn. The transition element incorporated in the was attributed to affect both Ti 3d orbital and O 2p orbital by NEXAFS measurement. The bimetal-doped nanopowder showed light absorption over more wide wavelength range than the single-doped nanopowders

ZnO nanostructures with various shapes were synthesized under ambient pressure condition by a wet chemical reaction method. Nanorods of ZnO with hexagonal cross-section and their aggregates with radiate shape were synthesized. Precursor concentration affected considerably the shape evolution of ZnO nanorods. Low precursor concentration was proved to be more preferable to the growth of ZnO nanorods, which is attributed to the intrinsic characteristics of chemical reaction in the synthesis of ZnO from zinc compounds.

강아치교는 경간거리가 비교적 길고 거더 높이에 제약이 있는 가설조건에 자주 적용되는 교량형식이지만, 강아치교에서 강재 바닥틀(가로보, 세로보)이 차지하는 강중은 50% 이상으로 초기건설비용 증가의 원인으로 작용한다. 강아치교의 정체성은 살리면서 경제성 제고를 위해 강재 바닥틀을 콘크리트 부재로 대체시 획기적인 경제성 개선이 가능하다. 본 연구는 PSC 가로보의 아치교 적용을 위하여 PSC 가로보 시험체를 대상으로 정적시험 및 피로시험을 실시하고, 정적 구조 성능 및 피로성능을 분석함으로써 PSC 가로보의 구조안전성 및 사용성을 평가하였다. 그 결과 콘크리트 구조체, PS강선, 주철근, 브래킷, 연결부 모두 안정적인 구조거동을 보이고 있으며, 충분한 피로수명을 확보하고 있는 것을 확인하였다.
