우리나라의 '해양오염방제 자재·약제의 성능시험기준 및 검정기준 중 ‘생물에 대한 영향시험’(생태독성시험)의 시험방법과 판정 기준의 개정과 관련한 방향을 제시하기 위해 현행 기준의 문제점을 파악하고 국가별 제도 비교를 통한 개선방안을 제시하였다. Skeletonema costatum을 이용한 성장저해시험의 경우, 배양액 색조를 비교하여 판단하는 기준 대신 측정된 성장률을 적절한 통계기법을 이용하여 비교 분석하는 과학적인 기준이 도입되어야 하며 시험기간의 경우, 지수성장기를 고려하여 4일 이내가 합당한 것으로 판단된다. 어류를 이용한 독성시험의 경우, 다양한 물질에 대한 독성시험 및 비교연구를 통해 방제 자재에 대해 일관되고 적절한 민감도를 나타낼 수 있는 보다 적절한 어체크기에 대한 재설정이 필요하고 이에 따른 합리적이고 객관적인 판정기준이 마련되어야 할 것으로 판단된다. 시험종의 경우, Artemia sp. 대신 해양 윤충류인 Rotifer, Brachionus plicatilis가 대안이 될 수 있으며 어류시험의 경우, 굴류(Oyster)와 같은 이매 패류의 분류군을 이용한 독성시험으로의 대체 역시 대안으로 고려될 수 있다. 마지막으로 해양오염방제 자재·약제의 형식승인 시험과 관련하여 생태독성시험 분야의 경우, 업무의 특수성과 결과의 신뢰성을 고려하여 별도의 공인시험기관 지정 또는 관련 유사 법률과 연계한 일원화된 창구가 필요하며 수용가능한 수준의 시험비용 산정과 시험항목 조정을 통한 합리적인 제도개선이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

ROPS is a structure installed to protect drivers from tractor rollover accidents and is being tested for certification under the OECD code. Because this test requires a lot of cost and time to develop the ROPS and to produce test model, the OECD is discussing the introduction of virtual test using finite element analysis. In this study, the results were compared by conducting a strength test and finite element analysis applied with the OECD code to use it as a basic data for standardization of ROPS virtual test methods. It was confirmed that the results of the analysis of the bolts and plates of the coupling part and the folding part were more close to the physical test results than the rigid elements and constraints at the point of coupling the tractor and ROPS.

PURPOSES : The exposed aggregate number (EAN) and mean texture depth (MTD) of exposed aggregate concrete pavement (EACP) influence the functional performance of EACP in terms of pavement noise and skid resistance. The selection of the exposure time of EACP is important because the designed EAN and MTD of EACP can be achieved when the exposure process is performed at an appropriate time. On the one hand, too early exposure may cause protrusions and unwanted removal of aggregates and mortar. On the other hand, late exposure may cause difficulty in exposure of the mortar. In this study, a method to determine the optimum exposure time for EACP is suggested using a non-destructive method. METHODS : A set of laboratory tests was performed to investigate the variation in EAN and MTD of EACP according to the elastic modulus obtained by non-destructive equipment. From the results of this investigation, the optimum exposure time using the non-destructive method and the exposure time window (ETW) method was suggested. In addition, the usefulness of ETW suggested by laboratory tests was verified from a field application. RESULTS : From the laboratory tests, it was found that the targets of the surface condition of EACP (EAN: 59 per 25 cm2, MTD: 1.39 mm) can be achieved when the concrete elastic modulus is higher than 20GPa. The proposed guideline using the non-destructive method was applied for the field construction of EACP and achieved similar results. CONCLUSIONS : It was found that the proposed guideline for determining the exposure time window based on non-destructive testing is useful.

Universal joint damage occurred during the operation of a combat vehicle. Damage to the internal bushing and cracks of the rubber cover occurred, and a design change was promoted based on the cause analysis and improvement measures. The failure of the bushing is due to the occurrence of expansion due to fatigue load when the rotation proceeds in the presence of the assembly clearance of the cross joint. In addition, cracks in the rubber cover are caused by the deterioration of the intermetallic rubber surface. Through this failure mechanism analysis, severe durability factors were selected and accelerated durability tests were conducted. In this paper, the final limit life of universal joints can be evaluated through accelerated endurance tests. Furthermore, the endurance life of the product before the change and the endurance life of the product after the change are compared to prove the improvement effect through design changes.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to disseminate the process of deriving the truck performance curve of Korea’s representative trucks in detail such that the relevant experts can use it in the future when re-selecting the representative trucks and deriving the truck performance curve accordingly. METHODS : To collect relevant data required to derive the truck performance curve, this study used four trucks that implemented the weight/power of the nation’s representative trucks, and conducted a practical driving test on four different upgrade sections. RESULTS : The truck performance curve was derived for each driving position to represent the deceleration and acceleration capabilities of the truck through the actual driving test on the upgrade sections. CONCLUSIONS : The truck performance curve derived from this study indicated that the truck’s deceleration and acceleration capabilities increased as the total weight/power of Korea’s representative trucks improved, and the design of the climbing lane demonstrated that the design method used in this study saved approximately 60% of the construction cost compared to the existing method.

The security accidents occurring in ships and at seas and ports became very serious, and in particular, the maritime terrorism and abduction by pirates have emerged at the international level as a problem. The international maritime organization (IMO), accordingly, entered into such forces as the SOLAS chapter and measures in order to reinforce the maritime security and the security for ships and port facilities in 2004. In this study, the JDS-S4 improved as an oriented speaker to reinforce the ship security by enabling the clear communication even at long distance was tested by using the conducted emission test(CE101) and a standard test of the US military standard (MIL-STD-461F). Also, the result of this study was shown to satisfy the standard.

For form stability of membrane structures, membrane material is required to be in tension. Therefore, in planning and maintenance management, the engineer should consider enough about introduction of stress during construction and re-introduction of stress after completion. Clamping part is an important portion with the function for introducing tension into membrane materials, and the function to transmit stress to boundary structures, such as steel frames. Then, the purpose of this research is to clarify stress condition and stress transfer mechanism including clamping part of membrane structures, and to grasp the changing tendency of membrane structures with the passage of time. In this research, following previous one, we perform well-balanced evaluation by conducting tensile fractured tests of clamping part's specimens, and by measuring individually the amount of displacement of not only overall specimen's length but membrane material and clamping part. Thereby, we consider the influence the difference in the hardness of edge rope and the difference in the direction of thread affect modification and fracture load.

해양생태독성시험의 국제표준시험종 중 생산자에 속하는 대표적인 Skeletonema sp.와 Dunaliella tertiolecta의 생태독성학적 차이점을 알아보기 위해 각 표준시험법(규격)을 비교하였고 환경에 대한 종 적합성과 다양한 시험물질에 대한 민감도를 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과, 시험법의 경우 대부분 동일하였으나 시험 유효성의 기준에서 pH 변화 제한과 초기접종밀도에서 차이가 나타났으며 이는 D. tertiolecta 의 낮은 성장률에 기인된 것으로 추정된다. 적합성에서는 두 종 모두 규격에서 요구하는 유효성의 기준을 연속 만족하여 시험수행의 일관성을 보였고 시험한계 염분범위는 Skeletonema sp.와 D. tertiolecta 각각 20 및 10 psu로 나타났다. 마지막으로 민감도의 경우, 시험규격에서 제시하는 참조물질, 실제 오염 배출수(선박평형수) 및 기타 다양한 화학물질에서 모두 Skeletonema sp.가 D. tertiolecta에 비해 독성 민감도가 상대적으로 높음을 확인하였으며 이는 해양생태독성시험 수행에 있어 생산자를 이용한 시험의 경우 최소 2종 이상의 다른 분류군의 미세 조류를 이용하는 것이 시험결과의 신뢰성과 객관성을 높일 수 있는 방법임을 시사한다.
