이 연구는 코르크보드를 보강하여 건축부재 및 놀이기구의 안전부재 등으로 폭넓게 활용할 것을 목적으로 코르크보드의 중층에 금속, 유리섬유, 탄소섬유를 삽입하여 보강한 3종의 코르크복합보드를 제조하였고, 코르크복합보드의 수분흡수에 따른 치수안정성 및 접착층 박리성능을 조사하였다. 코르크복합보드의 흡수율은 0.37% - 0.45%의 범위에 있었고, 코르크보드에 비해 0.61배 - 0.74배의 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 코르크복합보드의 두께팽창률은 0.92% - 1.58%의 범위에 있었고, 코르크보드 보다 1.4 - 2.4배의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 그러나 이 값들은 일반 목질보드보다 현저히 낮았고, KS규격의 12%이하를 하회하는 것이 확인되었다. 코르크복합보드의 준내수 및 내수침지박리시험후의 접착층박리율은 0%로 전혀 접착층의 박리가 일어나지 않아 우수한 내수성을 나타내었고, 흡수율과 흡수두께팽창률은 상온침지에 비해 다소 증가하였으나, 목질보드에 관한 KS규격을 하회하는 우수한 치수안정성을 나타내는 것이 확인되었다.

Many Korean domestic masonry structures constructed since 1970 have been found to be vulnerable to earthquakes because they lack efficient lateral force resistance. Many studies have shown that the brick and mortar suddenly experience brittle fracture and out-of-plane collapse when they reach the inelastic range. This study evaluated the seismic retrofitting of non-reinforced masonry with Hybrid Super Coating (HSC) and Cast, manufactured using glass fiber. Four types of specimen original specimen (BR-OR), one layered HSC (BR-HS-O), two-layered HSC (BR-HS-B), one layered HSC, and Cast (BR-CT-HS-O) were constructed and analyzed using compression, flexural tensile, diagonal compression, and triplet tests. The specimen responses were presented and discussed in load-displacement curves, maximum strength, and crack propagation. The compressive strength of the retrofit specimens slightly increased, while the flexural tensile strength of the retrofit specimens increased significantly. In addition, the HSC and Cast also produced a considerable increase in the ductile response of specimens before failure. Diagonal compression test results showed that HSC delayed brittle cracks between the mortar and bricks and resulted in larger displacement before failure than the original brick. The triplet test results confirmed that the bonding strength of the retrofit specimens also increased. The application of HSC and Cast was found to restrain the occurrence of brittle failure effectively and delayed the collapse of masonry wall structures.

In recent, fiber-reinforced composites have been widely used in many fields because of their excellent performance. In order to manufacture lightweight, high-performance, and inexpensive composites various laminated structures were designed. Six types of hybrid composites were fabricated with glass/basalt/aramid fibers by VARTM process. The effect of the laminated structure on the mechanical properties of composites was investigated through impact energy, tensile and bending strength. Compared to other conditions more higher impact energy was obtained when the aramid fibers were in the center position and more higher bending strength was obtained when the fibers are laminated in the order of increasing bending performance from top to bottom. The laminate structure did not affect tensile strength which mainly depends on the property of fibers.

Cured-in-place-pipe(CIPP) is the most adopted trenchless application for sewer rehabilitation to extend the life of the existing sewer without compromising both direct construction and indirect social costs especially applied in the congested urban area. This technology is globally and domestically known to be the most suitable for partial and full deteriorated pipe structure rehabilitation in a sewer system. The typical design of CIPP requires a significant thickness of lining to support loading causing sewage flow interruption and increasing material cost. This paper presents development of a high strength glass fiber composite lining material for the CIPP application and structural test results. The test results exhibit that the new glass fiber composite lining material has 12 times of flexural strength, 6.2 times of flexural modulus, and 0.5 Creep Retention Factor. These test results can reduce lining design thickness 35% at minimum. Even though taking into consideration extra materials such as outer and inner films for actual field applications, the structural capacity of the composite material significantly increases and it reduces 20 percent or more line thickness as compared to the conventional CIPP. We expect that the newly developed CIPP lining material lowers material costs and minimizes flow capacity reduction, and fully replaceable to the conventional CIPP lining materials.

The fatigue characteristics of glass fiber reinforced plastic (GFRP) composites were studied under repeated loads using the finite element method (FEM). To realize the material characteristics of GFRP composites, Digimat, a mean-field homogenization tool, was employed. Additionally, the micro-structures and material models of GFRP composites were defined with it to predict the fatigue behavior of composites more realistically. Specifically, the fatigue characteristics of polybutylene terephthalate with short fiber fractions of 30wt% were investigated with respect to fiber orientation, stress ratio, and thickness. The injection analysis was conducted using Moldflow software to obtain the information on fiber orientations. It was mapped over FEM concerned with fatigue specimens. LS-DYNA, a typical finite element commercial software, was used in the coupled analysis of Digimat to calculate the stress amplitude of composites. FEMFAT software consisting of various numerical material models was used to predict the fatigue life. The results of coupled analysis of linear and nonlinear material models of Digimat were analyzed to identify the fatigue characteristics of GFRP composites using FEMFAT. Neuber’s rule was applied to the linear material model to analyze the fatigue behavior in LCF regimen. Additionally, to evaluate the morphological and mechanical structure of GFRP composites, the coupled and fatigue analysis were conducted in terms of thickness.

Since electric energy is used in industry, mass production and various conveniences are provided. To provide convenience for the construction and operation of such electric energy transmission and distribution facilities, it is increasing that the demand for special purpose vehicles, that is, telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. When working active electric work using the telescopic aerial work platform vehicles, due to active electric work is inevitable, it is essential to ensure insulation performance for the safety of the operator. In this paper, we study the design and development of mechanical properties for filament winding process of glassfiber/epoxy composite, it is required to boom of telescopic aerial work platform vehicles. The glass fiber/epoxy composite filament winding process and its mechanical properties were evaluated to replace the existing ATOS80 boom. By filament winding process it was obtained the mechanical properties required for the design analysis of the glass fiber/epoxy composite boom. Using this, the insulated boom for the 30m class aerial work vehicle was designed and was manufactured by applying the filament winding process. The fabricated composite boom was evaluated by the static strength test to meet the required strength. The maximum displacement was 84mm and the crack occurred at the maximum load of 8981N. It satisfied the maximum lifting load of 4900N and 210mm the maximum displacement required for the boom.

Due to rapid industrialization and urbanization, maintenance of high voltage transmission lines in narrow alleys, complex roads, or old factory areas is required. Since the existing aerial lift vehicle is made of steel, there is a risk of electric shock. Therefore, there is a need for the development of an insulated aerial lift vehicle that can prevent electric shock accidents during electrical work. In particular, the development of an insulated aerial lift vehicle is required in a recent work environment where live line work is inevitable. The development of composite insulation boom for the vertical swing type aerial lift vehicle is studied. The insulated boom was developed by applying glass fiber-epoxy composite and filament winding process. The developed insulated boom was verified by measuring dielectric breakdown strength, surface resistance and volume resistance according to ASTM D149 and ASTM D257.

Glass wool is a fiber made by melting sand and waste glass at high temperature. It has been used as an inorganic fiber for sound absorption, insulation, and non-combustible materials for automobiles, ships, and household appliances. However, the disadvantage comes from the moisture penetration through condensation and cleaning up so that it deteriorates insulation and soundproofing performance. In order to overcome the disadvantages of glass wool, we investigate the water repellency by plating metal on the surface of glass wool with Cu and Ti while coating stability is considered. The thickness of the deposited metal is about 300 nm. The deposition chemicals and the image of the specimen are analyzed by using SEM equipment. The electron microscopic result shows that quite amount of Cu and Ti metals are deposited on the glass wool surface.

In this study, glass fibers are fabricated via a continuous spinning process using manganese slag, steel slag, and silica stone. To fabricate the glass fibers, raw materials are put into an alumina crucible, melted at 1550℃ for 2 hrs, and then annealed at 600℃ for 2 hrs. We obtain a black colored glass. We identify the non-crystalline nature of the glass using an XRD(x-ray diffractometer) graph. An adaptable temperature for spinning of the bulk marble glass is characterized using a high temperature viscometer. Spinning is carried out using direct melting spinning equipment as a function of the fiberizing temperature in the range of 1109℃ to 1166℃ , while the winder speed is in the range of 100rpm to 250rpm. We investigate the various properties of glass fibers. The average diameters of the glass fibers are measured by optical microscope and FE-SEM. The average diameter of the glass fibers is 73 μm at 100rpm, 65 μm at 150rpm, 55 μm at 200rpm, and 45 μm at 250rpm. The mechanical properties of the fibers are confirmed using a UTM(Universal materials testing machine). The average tensile strength of the glass fibers is 21MPa at 100rpm, 31MPa at 150rpm, 34MPa at 200rpm, and 45MPa at 250rpm.

PURPOSES: The objective of this study is to evaluate the physical properties of recycled asphalt mixtures reinforced with glass fiber. METHODS: Firstly, mixing design was conducted on recycled asphalt mixture for use of 50% recycled aggregate. Various laboratory tests were performed on four types of recycled asphalt mixtures with different glass fiber content to evaluate the physical properties. The laboratory tests include indirect tensile strength test, dynamic modulus test, Hamburg wheel tracking test and tensile-strength ratio to evaluate cracks, rutting and moisture resistance of mixtures. RESULTS: The indirect tensile strength of fiber reinforced glass increased about 139.4%. As a result of comparing the master curves obtained by the dynamic modulus test, the elasticity was low in the low temperature region and high in the high temperature region when the glass fiber was reinforced. The glass fiber contents of PEGS 0.3%, Micro PPGF 0.1% and Macro PPGF 0.3% showed the highest moisture resistance and rutting resistance. CONCLUSIONS : The test results show that use of glass fiber reinforcement can increase the resistance to cracking, rutting, and moisture damage of asphalt mixtures. It is also necessary to validate the long-term performance of recycled asphalt mixtures with glass fiber using full scale pavement testing and field trial construction.

In pressure retarded osmosis (PRO) process, thin film composite (TFC) type membranes which can withstand high operating pressure are required. In this study, glass fibers (GF) are used as additive for mechanical strength enhancement of the support layer of TFC membranes. The support layers were fabricated by a phase inversion method by using the casting solution of blended GF (two different size of milled GF) with polyethersulfone (PES). The fabricated support layers were characterized by FE-SEM, FT-IR, contact angle goniometer, and universal testing machine. Lab-scale ultrafiltration experiment was carried out to measure their performance. As a result, the support layer with milled GF showed higher mechanical strength and water flux than the pure PES support layer, and the support layer with smaller size GF showed higher performance.
