Successful cryopreservation of bovine oocytes is a very important technology for research and commercial applications. However, the survival and development rate of vitrified-thawed oocytes is lower than non-vitrified oocytes. Hydroxypropyl Cellulose supplementation (HPCs) has extremely high viscosity, which permits transitions to a glassy state at low temperatures. This characteristics of HPCs have been reported to help the survival of human oocytes. In this study, we investigated the survival rate, fertilization rate and ROS levels to confirm the effect of cryoprotectant solutions with HPC for oocyte vitrification in bovine. For vitrification, bovine MII oocytes were pretreated with EG10 (added 0, 10, 50 and 100 ㎍/㎖ HPC) for 5 min, exposed to EG30 (added 0, 10, 50 and 100 ㎍/㎖ HPC) for 30 sec, and then directly plunged into LN2. Thawing was taken by 4-step procedures [1 M sucrose and 10% FBS added D-PBS (SFD) -> 0.5 M SFD -> 0.25 M SFD -> 0.125 M SFD] for 1 min, respectively. After thawing, oocytes were washed with TL-HEPES, incubated in a droplet of previous cultured IVM medium for 1 h to recover. IVF drop (44 ㎕) contained 10 vitrified-thawed oocytes with sperm concentration of 1 × 106 cells ㎖, and then 2 ㎕ heparin and 2 ㎕ PHE were added. At 2 days after IVF, cleaved embryos were cultured in CR1aa + 3 mg/mL FAF-BSA for 48 h and cultured in CR1aa + 10% FBS for 4 days. In the results, in vitro survival rate of bovine vitrified-thawed MII oocyte was significantly higher in 50 (85.5%) and 100 ㎍/㎖ (80.2%) HPC groups than 0 (71.2%) and 10 ㎍/㎖ (71.3%) groups (p<0.05). The ROS level was lower in 50 ㎍/㎖ HPC group than in control group. After in vitro fertilization, cleavage rate and blastocyst development rate were not significantly different among treatment groups. Therefore, these results indicated that HPC treatment has a positive effect on the survival of vitrified-thawed bovine oocytes.

We are observing the cracking condition of HPC pavement. We used ultrasonic equipment and 3D GPR equipment to inspect cracks. The depth and the deterioration of cracks were good during observation. We are going to observe the crack with caution.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 대표적인 열화현상인 염해를 억제하고자 여러 가지 연구가 진행되었는데, 그 중에서 혼화재료를 콘크리트에 혼입하여 사용하는 방법이 대표적으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 콘크리트 혼화재료인 플라이애시를 혼입한 콘크리트와 OPC 콘크리트에 대하여 3가지 수준의 물-결합재비(37%, 42%, 47%)를 고려해 내구성능 평가를 실시하였다. 각 목표 재령일에서 Tang's method에 준하여 촉진 염화물 확산계수 측정 실험을, ASTM C 1202에 준하여 통과전하량 측정 실험을, KS F 2405에 준하여 압축강도 실험을 실시하였다. 또한, 기존의 연구결과인 재령 28일의 실험결과를 참고하여 확산계수에 대한 시간의존성지수(m)를 도출하여 고찰하였으며, 장기재령의 압축강도와 시간의존성지수 간의 상관관계를 평가하였다. 재령 49일부터 플라이애시 혼입 콘크리트에서 OPC 콘크리트 대비 개선된 염해저항성능을 나타내었으며 이는 포졸란 반응에 의해 생성된 불용성의 수화물이 원인으로 사료된다. 플라이애시 혼입 콘크리트에서 OPC 콘크리트 대비 약 1.5배 높은 시간의존성지수를 나타내었으며, 압축강도와의 상관관계 평가 결과, OPC 콘크리트는 압축강도가 증가할수록 선형적으로 시간의존성지수가 증가하는 경향을, 플라이애시 콘크리트는 압축강도가 증가할수록 선형적으로 시간의존성지수가 약간 감소하는 경향을 나타냈다.

고로슬래그 미분말은 공학적으로 우수한 건설산업 부산물이며, 최근들어 환경부하 저감 및 사용 활성화를 위해 대단위 슬래그 치 환 콘크리트가 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 목표 강도를 50 MPa로 설정하고 고로슬래그미분말 치환률을 65%로 고려한 대단위 치환 슬 래그 콘크리트를 제조하여 건조수축특성과 초지재령 특성을 평가하였다. 이를 위해 3 수준의 콘크리트를 제조하였으며, 슬럼프 플로우, 강도, 건조 및 자기수축에 대한 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과, 보통 포틀랜트 시멘트를 100% 함유한 콘크리트(OPC 100)에 비하여 재령 7일전의 강 도는 약간 감소하였으나, 슬래그 치환 배합은 수화에 필요한 충분한 자유수를 가졌으므로 28일 재령에서는 우수한 강도 발현을 나타내었다. 또 한 재령 3일까지 큰 자기수축으로 인하여, OPC 100 배합에서는 건조수축이 크게 평가되었지만, 65% 고로슬래그 미분말을 치환한 배합에서는 초기재령의 자기수축 성능이 개선되어 우수한 건조수축거동을 나타내었다. 특히 단순 질량 치환배합(BS 65)보다 물-결합재비(0.27)와 단위수 량(163kg/m3)을 낮춘 OPTBS 65에서 더욱 우수한 건조수축 및 자기수축 거동을 나타내었다.

The FBG sensor responses simultaneously to changes in thermal strain as well as elastic strain. Thus the total strain measured from a single FBG sensor shall be corrected to obtain the elastic strain by removing the temperature effect. This paper addresses how the temperature effect can be removed when the FBG sensor is encapsulated in a 7-wire steel strand. For this purpose, fundamental properties of the FBG sensor are identified through tests using a controlled temperature chamber. Then field measurements on a UHPC pi girder with the size of 11.0 m long, 5.0 m wide, and 0.6 m high have been conducted for about one year, and the prestressing force is estimated using the raw data from the FBG sensor and by applying temperature correction technique proposed in this study. Estimated results indicate that the proposed correction technique is executable for extracting the elastic strain from monitoring data using the FBG sensor in civil infrastructures.

In this study, KS F 2405 was used to investigated the compressive strength of property of high performance concrete (HPC) using the fly ash and silica fume. The experiments were carried out silica fume-binder ratio from 5% (SF5) and fly ash 25%+silica fume 5% (FA25SF5). The compressive strength of HPC determined on 7days and 28days.

This paper addresses the tensile strength of high performance concrete with fly-ash, silica fume. Test variables of this study is replacement ratio of admixture. Test results showed that 7 days tensile strength of specimen SF5 is higher than that of specimen FA25SF5. However, 28 days tensile strength of specimen SF5 and FA25SF5 had similar value.
