반추위 pH 조정제로서 일반적으로 중조가 많이 사용되고 있으나 사료에 중조의 첨가량을 증가시키는 경우에 기호성을 저하시키는 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 사료의 기호성에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 반추위 완충효과를 나타내도록 개발된 액상형 완충제의 젖소사료 첨가제로서의 이용효과를 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. 시험축으로 착유 중기 젖소 27두를 공시하였으며, 처리는 대조구와 중조 첨가구, 그리고 액상형 완충제 첨가구로 하여 처리별 9두씩 배치하였다. 대조구는 착유우용 자가배합 TMR 사료를 급여하였으며, 중조 첨가구는 대조 사료에 중조를 두당 1일 150g 추가하여 급여하였고, 액상형 완충제 첨가구는 같은 방식으로 액상형 완충제를 두당 15㎖ 추가하여 사양시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 산유량은 대조구, 중조 및 액상형 완충제 첨가구의 경우에 각각 23.82, 23.91, 24.91kg으로 대조구에 비하여 액상형 완충제 처리구에서 다소 증가하는 경향이었으나 처리 간에 뚜렷한 유의 있는 결과를 보여주지는 않았다. 처리에 따른 유성분 변화에서는 유단백질 및 무지고형분에서 액상형 완충제를 첨가한 경우에 대조구에 비해 유의 있는 증가(p < 0.05)를 보여주었고, 유지율에서도 대조구에 비하여 처리구가 다소 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 혈액성분 중 포도당과 콜레스테롤은 대조구에 비해 액상형 완충제의 첨가구에서 다소 증가하였으나, 처리 간에 유의 있는 차이를 나타내지는 않았다. 따라서 개발된 액상형 완충제의 추가급여 시 생산성 증대, 특히 유성분 증가 효과가 있어 반추위 pH 조정을 위하여 일반적으로 이용되고 있는 중조를 대체하여 반추동물의 사료첨가제로 이용이 가능할 것으로 평가되었다.

PURPOSES: The liquid-type chemical warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additive has been developed. This study evaluates the basic properties of the additive and the mechanical properties of WMA asphalt and mixture manufactured by using the newly developed chemical additive. METHODS: First, the newly developed WMA additive was applied to the original asphalt by various composition of additive components and dosage ratio of additive. These WMA asphalt binders were evaluated in terms of penetration, softening point, rotational viscosity, and PG grade. Based on the binder test results, one best candidate was chosen to apply to the mixture and then the mechanical properties of WMA mixture were evaluated for moisture susceptibility, dynamic modulus, and rutting and fatigue resistance. RESULTS : According to the binder test, WMA asphalt binders showed the similar properties to the original asphalt binder except the penetraion index of WMA additive was a little higher than original binder. From the Superpave mix design, the optimum asphalt content and volumetric properties of WMA mixture were almost the same with those of hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixture even though the production and compaction temperatures were 30℃ lower for the WMA mixture. From the first set of performance evaluation, it was found that the WMA mixture would have some problem in moisture susceptibility. The additive was modified to improve the resistance to moisture and the second set of performance evaluation showed that the WMA mixture with modified chemical additive would have the similar performance to HMA mixture. CONCLUSIONS : Based on the various laboratory tests, it was concluded that the newly developed chemical WMA additve could be successfully used to produce the WMA mixture with the comparable performance to the HMA mixture. These laboratory evaluations should be confirmed by applying this additive to the field and monitoring the long-term performance of the pavement, which are scheduled in the near future.

The strength and durability of PSC sleepers may deteriorate in the long term due to the cracks generated on the concrete surface, and maintenance is required to improve the strength and usability of sleepers and prolong the service life for a certain period. In this paper, flexural strength tests were carried out on rectangular parallelopiped specimens and real cracked PSC sleepers to evaluate the contribution of the flexural performance for the liquid-type reinforcing materials.

This study provides a simple introduction to photo-catalyst technology to degrade the air pollution in urban environment, in particular, NOx gases from automobiles. Moreover, it shows the spray coating technique was applied to effective coating on the surface of asphalt roads by using as-developed integral photocatalyst solution. In order to examine the slip resistance of asphalt surfaces, the BPT (British Pendulum Test) was used under drying and wetting conditions.
