Molten salt reactors represent a promising advancement in nuclear technology due to their potential for enhanced safety, higher efficiency, and reduced nuclear waste. However, the development of structural materials that can survive under severe corrosion environments is crucial. In the present work, pure Ni was deposited on the surface of 316H stainless steel using a directed energy deposition (DED) process. This study aimed to fabricate pure Ni alloy layers on an STS316H alloy substrate. It was observed that low laser power during the deposition of pure Ni on the STS316H substrate could induce stacking defects such as surface irregularities and internal voids, which were confirmed through photographic and SEM analyses. Additionally, the diffusion of Fe and Cr elements from the STS316H substrate into the Ni layers was observed to decrease with increasing Ni deposition height. Analysis of the composition of Cr and Fe components within the Ni deposition structures allows for the prediction of properties such as the corrosion resistance of Ni.
Piloti-type structures with vertical irregularity are vulnerable to earthquakes due to the soft structure of the first story. Structural characteristics of buildings can significantly affect the seismic loss function, calculated based on seismic fragility, and therefore need to be considered. This study investigated the effects of the number of stories and core locations on the seismic loss function of piloti-type buildings in Korea. Twelve analytical models were developed considering two variations: three stories (4-story, 5-story, and 6-story) and four core locations (center core, x-eccentric core, y-eccentric core, and xy-eccentric core). The interstory drift ratio and peak floor acceleration were assessed through incremental dynamic analysis using 44 earthquake records, and seismic fragility was derived. Seismic loss functions were calculated and compared using the derived seismic fragility and repair cost ratio of each component. The results indicate that the seismic loss function increases with more stories and when the core is eccentrically located in the piloti-type structure model. Therefore, the uncertainty due to the number of stories and core location should be considered when deriving the seismic loss function of piloti-type structures.
For important structures such as nuclear power plants, In-Structure Response Spectrum (ISRS) analysis is essential because it evaluates the safety of equipment and components installed in the structure. Because most structures are asymmetric, the response can be affected by eccentricity. In the case of seismically isolated structures, this effect can be greater due to the difference between the center of mass of the structure and the center of rigidity of the isolator layer. Therefore, eccentricity effects must be considered when designing or evaluating the ISRS of seismically isolated structures. This study investigated the change of the ISRS of an isolated structure by assuming accidental eccentricity. The variables that affect the ISRS of the isolated structure were analyzed to see what additional impact they had due to eccentricity. The ISRS of the seismically isolated structure with eccentricity was amplified more than when there was non-eccentricity, and it was boosted more significantly in specific period ranges depending on the isolator’s initial stiffness and seismic intensity. Finally, whether the displacement requirement of isolators can be applied to the variation of the ISRS due to eccentricity in the design code was also examined.
This study was conducted to analyze the effects of stand density on fire fuel (FF) changes in a Chamaecyparis obtusa forest. The study site was located in Mt. Munsu in Jeollabuk-do and consisted of a control, 30% thinning treatment (LT), and 50% thinning treatment (HT). Three-year-old seedlings were planted at a density of 3,000 trees ha-1 in 1976, and thinning was carried out in 2000. FF production was measured every 2 months by installing 3 circular litter traps 1.2 m above the ground. Litter bags containing 5 g of each leaf and branch were made and buried in the organic layer to investigate the FF decomposition rate. The decay constant was calculated after 18 months. FF accumulation was measured by collecting dry-weight organic matter from each plot using a square frame (0.09 m2) in September 2018. The FF production in LT and HT was significantly lower than that of the control (P<0.001). The leaf decay constant for HT was significantly lower than that of the control (P<0.05). The FF accumulation in HT was significantly lower than that of the control (P<0.01), but LT was not significantly different from the control. The results of this study showed that thinning decreased FF production.

In order to apply to high-nickel cathodes for high-capacity and stability enhancement of lithium-ion batteries, the characteristics of the coating film were reviewed using the conventional nickel plating method. The surface morphology of the plating layer and the measurement of the surface roughness were analyzed according to scan size and rate using the contact mode of Atomic Force Microscopy. The hydrogen ion concentration (pH) of the electrolyte played an important role in shaping the metal ion plating. As the overpotential of the surface increased during plating, the crystals grew in a direction other than the main crystal growth direction. The increase in on-time during pulse plating appears to result in coarse particles as much of the applied current is consumed by the reduction of hydrogen ions, resulting in lower current efficiency. From the AFM image, it was confirmed that the blackening of the plated film was due to a partial overvoltage phenomenon during electrolytic degreasing. In order to be used as a high-nickel cathode, it seems that the current must be uniformly distributed on the surface of the substrate during plating.
테프라연대학은 광역테프라를 연대측정과 층서대비에 이용하는 연구이다. 광역 테프라층은 층서적 건층으로 사 용될 수 있기 때문에 제4기지질학과 고고학 분야에서 매우 중요하다. 이 논평에서는 테프라의 동정 방법과 연대측정 방법에 대해 정리하였다. 또한 한반도의 육상퇴적층에서 발견되는 광역테프라층의 종류와 산출 특성에 대해 정리하였고, 광역테프라층의 지질학적 활용 방법과 한계점에 대해서도 토의하였다. 지금까지 한반도 육상의 고토양층, 해안단구 퇴 적층, 호수퇴적층에서는 일본 큐슈 기원의 AT와 Ata, Kb-Ks 테프라가 발견되었다. 또한 공식적으로 발견되지는 않았지 만 Aso-4 테프라도 발견될 가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다. 광역테프라층은 제4기 퇴적층, 특히 방사성탄소연대측정의 범위를 넘는 5만년 이상 퇴적층의 연대측정과 층서대비에 유용하며, 활성단층의 연대측정과 화산재해에 대한 대응책 마 련에도 유용한 정보를 제공한다. 하지만 테프라층을 지질학적으로 이용하기 위해서는 퇴적학적 연구를 통해 일차퇴적 여부에 대한 확인이 필요하다.
목적 : 미세먼지가 젊은층과 노년층의 눈물막에 영향을 미치는지 알아보고자 미세먼지 농도 수준에 따라 눈물의 양, 안정성 및 지질층 두께 변화를 평가하였다.
방법 : 안질환이 없는 20대와 60대 각각 25명(총 50명)이 참석하였고, 한국환경공단에서 제공된 미세먼지 좋 음 수준(0~30 ㎍/m³)과 나쁨 수준(51~100 ㎍/m³)에서 각각 이들을 대상으로 눈물 검사를 하였다. 눈물양은 OCCUTUBE(OccuTech Co., Seongnam, Korea)로, 눈물막 안정성은 침습성눈물막파괴시간(TBUT), 비침습성 눈물막파괴시간(NIBUT)로 지질층 두께는 Lipiview® 로 평가하였으며, 건성안 관련 증상은 OSDI 설문지를 이용 하여 평가하였다. 미세먼지 수준에 따른 비교는 SPSS version 21.0(SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL, USA)를 사용하여 분석하였다.

초고층 건물에서 수평변위 제어와 수직부재에서 발생하는 부등축소에 대한 검토가 필수적이다. 이러한 부등축소는 비구조요소의 사용성과 구조요소의 안전성에 대해 문제를 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 120층 규모의 철근콘크리트 주거용 초고층 건물에 대해 시공단계해석을 수행하여 각 수직부재의 부등축소량을 비교하고 콘크리트의 장기거동의 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 영향요 인에 따라 축소량을 탄성축소량, 크리프축소량, 건조수축축소량으로 구분하여 검토하였으며 최대 절대축소량에 대한 지배적 요인을 분석하였다. 또한, 입주완료 후 30년에서 발생한 부등축소량에 대해 사용성 검토를 진행하였으며, 구조요소에 대해 설계단계와 시공 단계의 부재력을 비교하여 분석하였다.
최근 비구조요소의 피해사례가 증가하면서 비구조요소 내진설계에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 연구는 평면 적 요소보다는 수직적 요소나 시스템적 요소를 변수로 층가속도를 평가하고 있다. 때문에 본 논문에서는 횡력저항에 많은 부분을 차 지하는 코어를 평면적 변수로 사용하여 비구조요소 내진설계를 위한 층가속도에 대해 평가하였다. 정사각형의 2축대칭의 평면에서 코어의 형태(위치 및 비중)변화에 따라 서로 다른 5개의 평면과 각 평면마다 5층, 10층, 15층, 20층의 층수를 가진 총 20개의 모델로 선 형시간이력해석을 수행하였다. 분석 결과 코어 위치에 따라 편심을 받는 평면에서는 층가속도가 최대 1.7배의 비틀림 증폭이 발생하 였고 구조물의 중층부에서 비틀림의 영향이 가장 큰 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 편심이 없이 코어의 비중만 변화한 평면에서는 주기 0.4694초를 기준으로 이하일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 감소하고 고층부에는 증가하며, 반대로 주기 0.4694 초 이상일 때는 주기가 증가할수록 층가속도가 저층부에서는 증가하고 고층부에는 감소한다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 구조물 의 층수는 최대층가속도에 영향을 주지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 핵심용어 :
In order to evaluate the earthquake safety of equipment in structures, it is essential to analyze the In-Structure Response Spectrum (ISRS). The ISRS has a peak value at the frequency corresponding to the structural vibration mode, but the frequency and amplitude at the peak can vary because of many uncertain parameters. There are several seismic design criteria for ISRS peak-broadening for fixed base structures. However, there are no suggested criteria for constructing the design ISRS of seismically isolated structures. The ISRS of isolated structures may change due to the major uncertainty parameter of the isolator, which is the shear stiffness of the isolator and the several uncertainty parameters caused by the nonlinear behavior of isolators. This study evaluated the effects on the ISRS due to the initial stiffness of the bi-linear curve of isolators and the variation of effective stiffness by the input ground motion intensity and intense motion duration. Analyzing a simplified structural model for isolated base structure confirmed that the ISRS at the frequency of structural mode was amplified and shifted. It was found that the uncertainty of the initial stiffness of isolators significantly affects the shape of ISRS. The variation caused by the intensity and duration of input ground motions was also evaluated. These results suggested several considerations for generating ISRS for seismically isolated structures.
