Due to stricter environmental regulations of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the number of ships fueled by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is rapidly increasing. The International Code of the Construction and Equipment of Ships Carrying Liquefied Gases in Bulk (IGC Code) limits the material of tanks that can store cryogenic substances such as LNG. Among the materials listed in the IGC Code, ASTM A553M-17 has been recently adopted as a material for LNG fuel tank projects because of its excellent mechanical properties at cryogenic temperatures. In shipyards, this material is being used to build tanks through Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW). However, there is a problem that magnetization occurs during welding and there is a big difference in welding quality depending on the welding position. In order to overcome this problem, this study intends to conduct basic research to apply laser welding to ASTM A553M-17 material. As a result of analyzing the bead shape according to laser BOP speed and Energy density performed in this study, it was confirmed that the penetration and energy density are proportional but the penetration and BOP speed are inverse proportional to some extent. In addition, a range of suitable welding speed and energy density were proposed for the 6.1mm thickness material performed in this study.

In order to overcome this problem, this study intends to conduct basic research to apply laser welding to ASTM A553M-17 material. In Part I, the bead shape according to the welding output was analyzed and in PART II, ​​the penetration phenomenon according to the welding speed was analyzed after Bead on Plate (BOP) test. As a result of analyzing the bead shape according to laser power performed in this study, it was confirmed that the laser power and penetration depth are proportional to some extent. In addition, a range of suitable welding power was proposed for the 6.1mm thickness material performed in this study.

Thermal management is a critical issue for the development of high-performance electronic devices. In this paper, thermal conductivity values of mild steel and stainless steel(STS) are measured by light flash analysis(LFA) and dynamic thermal interface material(DynTIM) Tester. The shapes of samples for thermal property measurement are disc type with a diameter of 12.6 mm. For samples with different thickness, the thermal diffusivity and thermal conductivity are measured by LFA. For identical samples, the thermal resistance(Rth) and thermal conductivity are measured using a DynTIM Tester. The thermal conductivity of samples with different thicknesses, measured by LFA, show similar values in a range of 5 %. However, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester show widely scattered values according to the application of thermal grease. When we use the thermal grease to remove air gaps, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is larger than that measured by LFA. But, when we did not use thermal grease, the thermal conductivity of samples measured by DynTIM Tester is smaller than that measured by LFA. For the DynTIM Tester results, we also find that the slope of the graph of thermal resistance vs. thickness is affected by the usage of thermal grease. From this, we are able to conclude that the wide scattering of thermal conductivity for samples measured with the DynTIM Tester is caused by the change of slope in the graph of thermal resistance-thickness.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to analyze not only the strength but also the durability and abrasion resistance of concrete pavements as increasing the cases of domestic concrete pavement damage which do not meet the service years. METHODS: The bottom layer of a two-lift concrete pavement was paved with original Portland cement (OPC) with 20~23 cm thickness. On the other hand, the top-layer, which is directly exposed to the environment and vehicles, was paved with high-performance concrete (HPC) with 7~10 cm thickness. For the optimal mixed design of the top-layer material of a two-lift concrete pavement, silica fume and polymer powder were mixed. Furthermore, it analyzes abrasion resistance of concrete as follow‘ ASTM C 779’which is dressing wheel abrasion test method. RESULTS : As a result, abrasion resistance is improved with increasing the silica fume ratio. When the polymer powder is mixed, abrasion resistance of concrete is much improved. However, the effect of mixing ratio is not significant. It is very effective that adding both silica fume and polymer powder occur 20~40% of abrasion comparing with OPC variables. CONCLUSIONS : The concrete strength and durability increased with silica fume and polymer powder. In particular, it is significant increasing strength of polymer powder under the flexural strength. In the abrasion resistance side, it is also significant when the silica fume and polymer powder used together.

PURPOSES : This study is to evaluate the feasibility of setting the standard of cement alkali content by using ASTM C 1260(accelerated mortar bar test) METHODS : This study analyzes the ASR(alkali silica reaction) expansion of cement mortar bar based on the changes in the aggregate type(fine, coarse), cement type(ordinary, low alkali), and replacement contents of fly ash. ASR tests were conducted according to ASTM C 1260. RESULTS : In this test results, There is no big difference in the ASR expansion between ordinary cement and low alkali cement. From this test results, it was found that the variation of cement alkali content did not have a effect on ASR expansion because mortar bar was placed in a container with sufficient alkali aqueous solution at high temperature during the test process of ASTM C 1260. CONCLUSIONS : It is evidently clear that the alkali content of cement have a effect on ASR. But ASTM C 1260 is difficult to assess this effect.

본 논문에서는 ASTM C 1260을 이용하여 국내산 골재를 대상으로 알칼리-실리카 반응 판정 결과 반응성으로 판정된 골재를 대상으로 알칼리-실리카 반응 억제효과를 고찰하기 위하여 플라이애시와 질산리튬을 사용한 시멘트 경화체의 ASTM C 1260 적용성을 평가하였다. 알칼리-실리카 반응에 의한 팽창현상이 발생하는 지역에서 CaO 함량이 낮은 플라이애시를 시멘트 중량의 10, 20, 30%를 대체하는 경우 ASTM C 1260으로 알칼리-실리카 반응 억제효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 질산리튬을 사용할 경우는 ASTM C 1260은 시편을 1N NaOH 수용액에 수침하여 80℃의 온도로 길이변화를 유도하므로 시편내에 혼입된 질산리튬 성분이 외부로 용출될 수 있기 때문에 알칼리-실리카 반응 억제효과를 도출하지 못하였다. 따라서 질산리듐의 ASR 억제효과를 확인하기 위해서는 다른 시험방법을 고려해야 한다.

Current ASTM specification provide an approach for directly correlating attenuations of the bottom deck or the top rebar from ground penetrating radar (GPR) to deck condition when corrosion is the primary mechanism for concrete deterioration. In this study, GPR tests were conducted on the bridge decks in public service and the characteristics of signal attenuation were investigated with deck condition. As will be discussed, this approach is recommended for further evaluation and incorporation within ASTM D 6087-08.

콘크리트 구조물에 사용되는 골재의 화학적 안전성을 진단하는 방법 중의 하나인 암석기재학적 시험(ASTM C 295)에 관한 연구로서, 이 연구를 위하여 골재의 입도 분석, 피막 검사, 풍화 ·오염상태, 암석학적 기재, 그리고 알칼리-골재 반응성 광물 및 암석의 정성·정량적 분석을 실시하였다. 경남 울진군 매화천 유역 A, B 지역의 하천 골재에 대하여 암석기재학적 방법으로 검사한 결과 풍화상태는 F(신선) 등급과 WS(약간 풍화) 등급이며 골재의 피막과 오염 상태는 우려할 정도는 아니다. 알칼리-골재 반응 광물이나 구조적으로 취약한 암석이 함유된 골재는 매화천 A 지역 골재 전체의 26 wt.%, B 지역은 19 wt.%로 집계되는데 이는 양호한 골재로 볼 수 없기 때문에 화학적 방법과 몰탈바 방법으로 더욱 정밀한 시험을 거쳐 안전성이 확인되어야 한다.
