In this study, the land use is analyzed by using the SWMM-LID (Low Impact Development) program to minimize the environmental damage caused by the development. In order to effectively utilize pre - development hydrological conditions, we analyzed the land use of existing industrial complex. The study areas selected were a completed industrial complex and an ongoing industrial complex in order to effectively identify the characteristics of the industrial complex and the water circulation system. Numerical simulation used SWMM-LID to enable quantitative hydrological impact assessment of penetration, storage facilities and LID planning elements. In the case of natural conditions, the infiltration amount was 16.3% and 1.5% of the total rainfall at B, C point, respectively. However, after applying the existing land use plan, the infiltration amount at point B was 12.1% and at point C was 3.9 %. In the case of point B, the amount of infiltration decreased due to the development of greenery as an impervious site. On the other hand, the amount of infiltration at point C increased as the existing industrial complex was replaced by greenery. Therefore, high infiltration amount can be secured when land use plan is redeveloped in green areas or parks in areas where the permeability coefficient is high according to the ground conditions in the complex. Two types of bio-polymer soil were developed to increase the LID effect and were tested to compare typical soil with these bio-polymer soils.
PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the environmental resistance of bio-polymer concrete for use of pavement materials developed for reducing the carbon-dioxide. METHODS : The compression, tension, and bending strength tests were conducted on the bio-polymer concrete specimens with and without environmental conditioning. The specimens were conditioned using the freezing-thaw and accelerated weathering process for long period of time. To assess the resistance against chloride, the chloride ion penetration resistance tests were carried out on the bio-polymer concrete specimens. RESULTS : Test results show that the maximum difference in strength between specimens with and without conditioning is about 2.6MPa indicating that the effect of environmental conditioning on specimen strength is negligible. Based on the chloride ion penetration resistance test, the penetration quantity of electric charge of the specimens is zero and there is no ion penetration within the bio-polymer concrete. CONCLUSIONS : It is found from this study that there is slight change in strength of bio-polymer concretes before and after environmental conditioning process and no chloride ion penetration observed in these specimens. Therefore, the developed bio-polymer concretes can be applied effectively as pavement materials due to the small change of physical properties with environment change.
PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to evaluate the mechanical characteristics of castor oil based bio-polymer concrete for use of ultra thin overlays. METHODS : To evaluate the mechanical properties of bio-polymer concrete, the various laboratory tests including compressive, tensile, and flexural strength, and elongation tests were conducted on bio-polymer concrete specimens in this study. The mechanical characteristics of bio-polymer concretes were examined by changing the content of hardener and polymer binder to determine the optimum content for ultra-thin overlays. The bio-polymer concrete developed in this study was used for field trial test of the ultra-thin bridge deck pavement for verifying the workability and monitoring the long-term performance of materials. RESULTS : Test results showed that tensile and the flexural strength of bio-polymer concretes increase and the elongation of bio-polymer concrete decreases with increase of binder content. A field adhesive strength tests conducted on bridge deck pavement indicates the bio-polymer concrete has more than 2MPa of adhesive strength satisfy with the design criteria. CONCLUSIONS : The bio-polymer concrete with more than 20% content of castor oil was developed for ultra-thin overlays in this study. It is found from this study that the 35% of hardener content is most appropriate for maintaining the strength characteristics and flexibility.

최근 남해안과 제주도 연안에는 5,000톤 이상의 괭생이 모자반이 유입되어 양식장과 조업에 큰 피해를 주고 있으며, 환경훼손 등 사회적 문제로 부각되고 있다. 괭생이 모자반에 존재하는 알긴산은 주로 의약품, 식품 등으로 활용되는 천연 고분자 물질이다. 하지만, 대량으로 활용할 수 있는 수요처가 확보되지 않아 본 연구에서는 괭생이 모자반을 활용한 바이오 폴리머를 구조물 보수용 폴리머 모르타르에 활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 응결특성 평가 시험에서는 바이오 폴리머가 12% 혼입된 L0BP12 배합은 합성폴리머만 혼입된 L12BP0 배합보다 종결시간이 최대 20%증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 흡수율 시험에서는 LOBP12 배합이 초속경 시멘트 배합인 Plain-URHC보다 0.36% 감소하는 것으로 나타나 바이오 폴리머 혼입으로 모르타르의 수밀성이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 압축 및 휨강도 시험에서는 바이오 폴리머의 혼입이 증가할수록 강도가 감소하는 경향을 나타내었고, KS F 4042 기준을 만족하는 최대 바이오 폴리머의 혼입률은 12%로 결정되었다. 또한, 재령 4시간 기준 부착강도는 Plain-URHC시험체 보다 모두 향상되었으며, 1 MPa 이상을 확보하여 바이오 폴리머의 혼입이 모르타르의 부착강도를 향상 시킬 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.
Resently, sargassum honeri, which has flown into the Korean coast, has become a serious problem due to the serious damage to domestic aquaculture and fishery. The purpose of this study is to utilize sargassum honeri containing alginic acid as a natural polymer material in cement mortar for repairing structures. The experimental results show that the flow of mortar tends to decrease as the incorporation rate of biopolymer increases.
In this study, the setting times of mortar using the biopolymer in seaweed was evaluated by penetration resistance. The evaluation was based on the method presented in KS F 2436. Test results show that the biopolymer was used instead of the synthetic polymer, the termination time was delayed.

The innovation in this study is the complexation of Erianthus fibers (Erianthus arudinaceus) with compatibilizer inPP by extrusion, to produce a material with an improvement in mechanical properties. The aim is to provide a general-purpose material from biomass that does not compete with food as an alternate material from the petroleum base.Erianthus is a cellulose resource crop which is a source of bio fuel, is inedible, highly productive and promising energyresource, there has been little report on its use as a material. It also is a cellulose resource crop with a high productivityas a fiber reinforcement material with low environmental load. Development of Erianthus fiber reinforced polypropylene(PP) composite material was reviewed. Erianthus fiber was pulverized and the powder was sorted by sieve size, whichwas put through the process of complexation with polypropylene using a twin-screw extruder. The mechanicalcharacteristics of the obtained composite material were evaluated by conducting a tensile strength test and a bendingtest. As a result of using the classified fiber as the filler, it is found that the difference in the surface area of the fiberhas a great effect on the mechanical properties and the thermal decomposition properties. It is found to be sufficientlyfeasible to make Erianthus function as a polypropylene fiber reinforcement element by controlling the size of Erianthusfiber.
