Electromagnetic fields of all frequencies represent one of the most common and fastest growing environmental influences, about which anxiety and speculation are spreading. All populations are now exposed to varying degrees of electromagnetic field, and the levels will continue to increase as technology advances. The objectives of this study were to measure and analyze emitting characteristics of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field at micro-environments. We measured magnetic field at microenvironments such as home, school, educational institute, internet pc game room for children attending the primary school. The range of time weighted average (TWA) of 60 Hz EMF in micro-environment were 0.26∼ 7.62 mG and the highest TWA 7.62 mG was measured in PC room possessed more than 50 computers. We will measure personal exposure levels of primary students and analyze correlation between major micro-environments and personal exposure level.

겨울철 저온에 의한 식물의 반응 및 생리적 상태를 확인하기 위해 문주란(Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum)을 대상으로 엽록소형광과 항산화효소 찬성의 변화를 조사하였다. O-J-I-P곡선을 분석한 결과 겨울철에 J, I, P-단계에서의 형광세기가 현저하게 간소하였다. 문주란 잎의 광계II의 광화학적 효율, 즉 Fv/Fm은 겨울철의 온도변화 추이와 유사하게 낮은 값을 나타내어 겨울철 저온이 스트레스 요인으로. 작용하는 것으로 보인다.

장기간의 사용수명을 요구하는 구조물의 건설재료인 콘크리트는 내구성이 우수하지만, 외부 환경적 요인에 의해 장기간 열화가 진행될 경우 성능 저하가 발생하기 때문에 이를 평가해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 부재를 제작하여 장기간 열화 환경에 노출시켜 콘크리트 부재의 휨거동 특성의 변화를 평가하고자 하였다. 그 결과, 장기 열화가 진행된 콘크리트의 압축강도는 감소하였으며, 항복 하중이 감소하고 그때의 처짐이 증가하였다. 또한, 광물질 혼화재를 혼입한 부재에서도 이와 동일한 경향이 나타났으나, 광물질 혼화재 종류에 따라 열화에 대한 저항성능 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

The durability of the steel structure can be affected by atmospheric corrosion environments as temperature, humidity, airborne salt etc.. However, atmospheric corrosion environments can be locally changed depending on structural condition and shape. To estimate the local atmospheric corrosion environments depending on structural member exposed to the marine environment, corrosion level of structural member in steel bridge was examined from exposure tests.

본 연구는 시멘트 모르타르속에 매입된 철근주위가 건조될 때 불안정한 전류분포의 영향을 측정하고, 교류 임피던스 특성변화에 대한 영향을 고찰하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 건조과정중 철근의 전기화학적 반응을 측정하기 위해, 두 개의 철근이 매입된 3개의 시멘트 모르타르가 실험을 위해 준비되었다. 주요 변수는 20mm 모르타르 두께를 동일하게 가지도록 하여, 두 철근사이의 간격이 10, 20과 30mm가 되도록 하였다. 해양환경에서 콘크리트 구조물속의 철근 부식속도를 가정하기 위해서, 3개의 모르타르 시험체는 15 사이클의 침지-건조환경(해수에서 24시간 침지와 48시간 실온 건조)에 노출되었다. 부식전위의 변화는 건조중에 용존산소의 확산속도 증가로 인해 귀한 방향으로 이동하는 것이 관찰되었다. 침지-건조환경에서 교류 임피던스는 100kHz에서 1mHz까지 측정되었다. 철근과 모르타르사이의 계면상태를 설명하기 위해 이론적 모델이 제안되었으며, 그것은 용액저항, 전하이동저항과 CPE로 구성된 등가회로를 사용하였다. 철근의 부식이 진행됨에 따라, 저주파수 영역에서 확산 임피던스가 나타났다. 침지-건조 환경중 건조과정에서 이송차가 45o에 가까워지는 현상으로써 전류분포가 불균일해지 는 경향을 보였다.

Corrosion durability of steel member can be related to its installed environmental conditions such as relative humidity, rainfall, atmospheric temperature, and air pollution(SO2, chloride). Also its installed environmental condition may differ depending on the shape of structural member. Therefore, In this study, to evaluate the difference in the corrosion damage according to the installation environment of steel structural members, outdoor exposure test was carried out from attaching unpainted monitoring plate and atmospheric corrosion monitoring sensor for actual steel bridge with various structural detail.

In the current concrete structure of the highway is still the major problem most of concrete deterioration caused by the freeze-thaw and de-icing salt, which is of issues that are not completely resolved. In particular, a single freezing event does not cause much harm, durability of concrete under multi-deterioration environment by repeated freeze-thaw and de-icing salt is rapidly degraded and reduce its service life. In this study, to considering environmental characteristics when design and construction of concrete structures, the exposure environmental guidelines were established by investigation the application rates of de-icing salt, temperatures and snowfall characteristics during five years (2004∼2008) by regions. Also, damage condition and chloride content of the structural at regions of moderate and severe environmental exposures were investigated.

It is reported that alkalinity of concrete decreases inter-laminar shear strength of FRP rebar. This could be more significant on thermally damaged FRP rebar. In this study, accelerated ISS test was conducted on FRP specimens previously exposed to temperature of 270℃ for 60 days. For 60 days, the ISS of thermally damaged FRP rebar was not significant

Chronic effects such as reproduction and population dynamics with elevated CO2 concentration were evaluated using two representative marine benthic species, copepod (Tisbe sp.) and amphipod (Monocorophium acherusicum) adopting long-term exposure. Juvenile copepod and amphipod individuals were cultivated in the seawater equilibrated with control air (0.395 mmol CO2/air mol) and high CO2 air having 0.998, to 3.03, 10.3, and 30.1 mmol CO2/air mol during 20 and 46 days, respectively. After the exposure period, the number of benthic invertebrate was counted with separate larval and juvenile stage such as naupliar, copepodid and adult for copepod, or neonate and adult for amphipod, respectively. The individual number of both test species at each life-stage was significantly decreased in seawater with 10.3 mmol CO2/air mol or higher. Recently, the technology of marine CO2 sequestration has been developed for the reduction of CO2 emission, which may cause climate change. However, under various scenarios of CO2 leaks during the injection process or sequestrated CO2 in marine geological structure, the potential risk to organism including various invertebrates can be expected to exposure. So the results of this study suggested that the detailed consideration on the adverse effect with marine ecosystem can be prerequisite for the marine CO2 sequestration projects.

일반적으로 철근콘크리트 건축물은 외부의 기후에 노출되어 있어 겨울에서 이른 봄까지 동결과 융해의 반복적인 작용에 영향을 받는다. 이러한 동결융해 작용은 콘크리트의 균열을 발생시키거나 콘크리트 표면의 박리를 일으켜 내구성 저하의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 철근콘크리트 보의 동결융해 노출에 따른 휨 거동특성의 평가를 위해 주근비와 동결융해 사이클을 변수로 하였다. -18~4℃의 온도범위에서 150 및 300 사이클의 동결융해에 노출시킨 실험체를 비롯하여 14개의 축소모형 실험체를 제작, 단조 및 반복하중 하에서 실험을 실시하였다. 실험결과를 통해 동결융해에 노출되어있는 철근콘크리트 보의 휨 거동특성을 평가하는데 기초적인 자료를 제시하고자 하였다

건축물의 보수․보강 시 섬유보강 폴리머를 이용한 부착공법을 이용한 보수․보강이 행해지고 있으며, 특히 CFRP(carbon fiber reinforced polymer)는 이러한 RC 구조부재의 보강재로 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 외부 환경적 요인에 의해 열화되는 즉, 동결융해 환경이 RC 보에서의 CFRP 보강성능에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구는 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 AE 기법을 통해 CFRP와 RC 부재 내부의 손상진전에 따라 발생하는 AE 신호를 계측함으로써 CFRP로 보강 후 동결융해에 의해 열화된 RC 구조물의 파괴기구 규명을 위한 기초자료를 마련하고자 한다.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are present in essentially all natural and synthetic materials from petrol to flowers. In this study, indoor and outdoor VOCs concentrations of houses, offices and internet-cafes were measured and compared simultaneously with personal exposures of each 50 participants in Asan and Seoul, respectively. Also, factors that influence personal VOCs exposure were statistically analyzed using questionnaires in relation to house characteristics, time activities, and health effects. All VOCs concentrations were measured by OVM passive samplers (3M) and analyzed with GC/MS. Target pollutants among VOCs were Toluene, o-Xylene, m/p-Xylene, Ethylbenzene, MIBK, n-Octane, Styrene, Trichloroethylene, and 1,2-Dichlorobenzene. Indoor and outdoor VOCs concentrations measured in Seoul were significantly higher than those in Asan except Ethylbenzene. Residential indoor/outdoor (I/O) ratios for all target compounds ranged from 0.94 to 1.51 and I/O ratios of Asan were a little higher than those of Seoul. Relationship between personal VOCs exposure, and indoor and outdoor VOCs concentrations suggested that time-activity pattern could affect the high exposure to air pollutant. Factors that influence indoor VOCs level and personal exposure with regard to house characteristics in houses were building age, inside smoking and house type. In addition insecticide and cosmetics interestingly affected the VOCs personal exposure. Higher exposure to VOCs might be caused to be exciting increase and memory reduction, considering the relationship between measured VOCs concentrations and questionnaire (p<0.05).

This study examined blends of styrene butadiene rubber(SBR) and chloroprene rubber(CR) prepared from an open 2-roll mill following the conventional polymer blend method for a wide range of the blend composition. Rubber vulcanizates were manufactured by hot press and then mechanical properties, heat and ozone resistance of the specimens were examined. Due to the post cure during the aging test, hardness of vulcanizates was increased. It was found that the undesirable characteristics of heat and ozone resistance of pure SBR was significantly improved through the blending of SBR with CR.
