This research aims to detect delamination-like damage from asphalt-concrete interface using contactless ultrasonic technique. FEM simulation and experiments demonstrate that surface waves and S mode are strongly present when there is delamination-like damage. It is believed that the measurement of S mode by non-contact ultrasonic system will allow one to determine the existence of delamination-like damage from bridge decks.

In this study, an experimental test is conducted on a concrete specimen using passive thermography (IRT) which is an effective and modern non-destructive test (NDT) method in detecting delaminations. The present work evaluates the detectability of delaminations with different sizes during the daytime by the absolute contrast technique. In addition, the most suitable time for delamination inspection of concrete structures is also proposed.

This paper presents basic study and data about anti-stripping functional filler of asphalt concrete utilizing by-product from limestone mine and other relevant industries. Especially ash from fluidized bed heat exchanger is considered as main material for the development of premixed asphalt filler which has good anti-stripping function. Ash from fluidized bed heat exchanger is able to contain calcium hydroxide and anhydrite by hydrating F-CaO, and this could be eco-friendly and anti-stripping functional asphalt filler utilizing by-product from mine and other industry through proper production process and mix with other powders of mine waste rock. Additionally this may have considerable price competitiveness compared to using existing liquid and powder anti-stripping agent.

하이드록시 산(hydroxy acid, HA)은 피부 각질층에 대한 박리효과로 노화방지와 피부 보습을 높이는데 효과를 보여, 피부 외용제와 화장품으로서 많은 활용을 하고 있다. 그 중에서 가장 효과적으로 빠른 시간 내에 나타나는 각질 박리는 화장품 제형 pH에 의해 효과를 보이는 것으로 많은 보고가 있다. 그러나 pH에 의한 자극, 부작용에 의한 염려로 인해 사용에 많은 어려움이 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 피부 각질층에 (1) 하이드록시 산의 농도와 (2) 종류, (3) pH를 변화시킨 화장품을 인체 피부 에 도포하여 각질 박리 효과에 대한 영향을 측정하는 데에 있다. 건강한 성인 22명을 대상으로 하박 내측에 DHA (dihydroxyacetone), DC (dansyl chloride)로 피부 표면 각질을 염색하여, 시험제품을 도포한 뒤 각질 박리 효과를 측정하였다. (1) GA (glycolic acid)의 농도에 따라 각질 박리 효과는 농도 의존적으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. (2 )하이드록시 산의 종류에 따라 pH를 산성과 중성으로 제조한 제품을 대상으로 각질 박리 효과를 측정한 결과, 중성 pH의 GA는 각질 박리 효과가 나타나지 않았다. 이에 반해 SA (salicylic acid)는 산성 pH와 중성 pH에서 모두 통계적으로 유의한 각질 박리 효과가 나타났다. (3) 중성 pH의 SA는 DHA와 DC로 염색한 피부 표면에서 모두 우수한 각질 박리 효과를 나타내었다. 이러한 결과는 pH에 민감한 사람들에게 각질 박리 효과를 기대하는 화장품을 사용할 수 있는 기회를 제공하며, 피부 장벽의 손상 없이 안전한 화장품을 제조할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

High-resolution magnetic resonance (HR-MR) imaging in intracranial atherosclerotic disease poses a greater challenge in the neurologic fields. Because a high in-plane resolution and a high signal-to-noise ratio are required for vessel wall imaging. HR-MR can depict the morphologies of atherosclerotic plaques, arterial walls, and surrounding structures in the intracranial and cervical carotid arteries. HR-MR also can be observed with traditional luminal evaluation. Differentiating vulnerable from stable plaques and characterizing atherosclerotic plaques are vital parts of the early diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of stroke with atherosclerosis. HR-MR is the most important and popular vessel wall imaging technique for directly evaluating the vascular wall and intracranial artery disease. Intracranial artery atherosclerosis, dissection, moyamoya disease, vasculitis, and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome also can be diagnosed and differentiated by using HR-MR. Here, we review the radiologic features of intracranial artery disease and vertebral artery dissection on HR-MR.

최근 건설폐기물의 발생량 급증과 함께 천연골재자원의 대체재로 폐기콘크리트를 활용한 재생골재의 사용에 국가․사회적인 관심이 집중되면서, 이에 대한 관리 및 적정처리에 대한 사회적 중요성이 대두되었으며, 향후 골재자원의 수급불균형 문제에 대비한 장기적 자원수급대책 등을 위하여 자원의 효율적 이용과 절약, 폐기물의 발생규제 및 재활용 촉진을 통한 환경보존 등에 대한 관심이 증가되고 있다. 골재수요는 건설 산업의 지속적인 증가에 힘입어 향후에도 꾸준하게 증가하여 연간 2억 m³ (약 3억 3천만톤) 이상의 수요가 지속적으로 발생할 것으로 예상되고 있으며, 국토교통부의 연도별 골재 채취 실적 자료에 의하면, 2002년의 경우 골재의 허가 채취량은 1억 1,900만 m³에 달하여 골재 수요량인 2억 1,700만 m³의 54.9%를 채취 허가량으로 공급한 것으로 나타나고 있어 부족분의 골재를 충당하기 위한 노력이 다각적으로 진행되고 있으며, 이러한 배경에서 재생골재의 필요성이 크게 대두되고 있다. 건설폐기물 중 발생하는 폐기콘크리트는 발생하는 양이 대규모로 공급 면에서 별 문제가 없고, 그 조성도 시멘트 모르타르와 골재의 비교적 단일 조성으로 되어 있어 파쇄 하여 재사용하여도 콘크리트 자체의 물성을 어느 정도 유지하기 때문에 재활용가치가 높은 것으로 평가되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 건설폐기물로 발생되는 폐콘크리트를 이용하여 레미콘업체 및 건설업체 등에서 사용할 수 있는 품질의 순환골재 생산기술을 개발하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 잔골재 회수 process 구축 및 물리적･열적 박리 기술 적용과 최적 운전조건을 도출하였다.

This study evaluated the fracture strength of GFRP-strengthened RC beams caused by the debonding failure of the GFRP. The fracture strength of RC beams calculated using FRP debonding strains suggested by several main design guidelines were higher than those of experiments. The result might indicate the need of some reduction in the values of the debonding strain or the strength reduction factor.

The bond performance of Latex modified concrete(LMC) is excellent when compared with conventional pavement concrete. But LMC have a several problems. In order to improve the problem of LMC, Remicon latex modified concrete(Remicon LMC) was developed. In this study, the surface scaling resistance and bond properties of Remcion LMC containing extra admixture was compared with latex ratio. From the results, when latex and admixture were mixed in concrete, bond strength was improved. And, the surface scaling resistance of Remicon LMC was quite good comparing to LMC. The surface scaling resistance of Remicon LMC mixed latex ratio 8% more showed the equivalent capacity of LMC.

Spontaneous resolution of aortic dissection is extremely rare and only a few cases have reported. We report on the case of an elderly man who presented with DeBakey type III aortic dissection, which was resolved spontaneously over two years after antihypertensive treatment. We also discuss the possible mechanism and the role of conservative management.

Recently, infrared thermography that analyzes a blistering zone from surface temperature is widely used in stone cultural heritages. This study focused on quick detection and quantitative modeling of blistering zones. Blistering modeling for the stone cultural heritages should be carried out as following orders; aquisition of thermography image, establishment of critical temperature, monochromatic processing, extraction of vector line, mapping of blistering zone, and calculation of deterioration rate. The deterioration rate of blistering zones of Cheomseongdae observatory and Sungnyemun stone block foundation using the infrared thermography were 1.5% and 6.6%, respectively.

It was evaluated penetration depth and spalling resist thickness by compressive strength. As a result, it was found that the more compressive strength is increased, the penetration depth is suppressed. And the result of this study are similar to modified NDRC formula and US ACE formula.
