신개념 철근콘크리트 포장인 ARCP(Advanced Reinforced Concrete Pavement)는 연속철근 콘크리트 포장인 CRCP(Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement)에서 균일하지 않게 발생하는 균열과 다량의 철근 사용으로 인한 높은 시공비를 개선한 기술이다. ARCP 는 고속도로 제1호선 언양~영천 구간에 최초로 시공하였으며 고속도로 제14호선 밀양~울산 구간에도 시공하였다. 이전의 시공 과정 및 초기 공용성을 기반으로 ARCP의 주요 기술 요소인 부분철근과 균열유도장치의 형상을 개선하여 고속도로 제14호선 창녕~밀양 구 간에 적용하여 시공하였다. 기존 균열유도장치는 반달형의 GFRP 재질로 제작되었으며 지지대를 이용하여 설치하였으나 개선된 균열 유도장치는 L형의 철재로 부분철근에 용접된 어셈블리 형태로 제작되어 설치가 간단하다. 기존 부분철근은 2개의 부분철근을 서로 연 결시킨 형상이었으나 개선된 부분철근은 연결부를 두지 않고 독립적인 형상으로 설치하였다. ARCP 시공 이후 초기 현장조사 결과, 균 열유도장치가 설치된 곳에서 적절한 균열이 발생하는 것을 확인하였으며 슬래브 표면 침하도 발생하지 않았다. 따라서 개선된 부분철 근과 균열유도장치를 적용함으로써 ARCP의 시공성 및 공용성을 한층 더 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

The aim of this study was to improve the chemical stability of cycloserine containing organic and inorganic compounds. Composite particles were manufactured with a 1:1 weight ratio of organic/inorganic compounds and cycloserine. The influence of organic/inorganic compounds on the stability of cycloserine was investigated under accelerated stress conditions at 60°C/75% RH for 24 hours. In addition, the properties of the composite particles were evaluated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the dissolution of the drug was assessed by preparing it as a hard capsule. Among the organic and inorganic compounds investigated, calcium hydroxide most improved the stability of cycloserine under accelerated stress conditions (53.3 ± 2.2% vs 1.7 ± 0.2%). DSC results confirmed the compatibility between calcium hydroxide and the cycloserine, and SEM results confirmed that it was evenly distributed around the cycloserine. Calcium hydroxide also showed more than 90% cycloserine dissolution within 15 minutes. Therefore, the calcium hydroxide and cycloserine composite particles may be candidates for cycloserine oral pharmaceuticals with enhanced drug stability.

우리나라에서 공용중인 시설물은 총 172,111개로 집계되고 있으며, 그 중 교량은 34,199개로 사회 기반시설 중 가장 많은 비중을 차지한다. 이러한 교량은 공용하중, 온도, 습도 등에 의해 거더간 신축 량이 발생하게 되고 신축량 발생으로 인한 유간거리에 대해 차량의 통행 안정성 및 주행성 확보를 위 한 신축이음장치를 설치하게 된다. 신축이음장치를 설치하여 차량의 통행 안정성 및 주행성을 확보할 수 있지만 누수 및 퇴적물 낙하 등을 직접적으로 방지하지 못하여 고무지수재를 별도로 설치하게 된 다. 하지만 이러한 고무지수재는 다양한 원인에 의해 쉽게 손상이 발생한다. 손상된 고무지수재를 통 해 거더의 부식, 교량하부 인명사고 등 다양한 2차 피해가 발생할 수 있다. 피해방지를 위한 교량의 유지관리를 지속적으로 수행하고 있지만 고무지수재 특성상 지속적인 교체가 불가피한 실정이다. 따라 서 본 연구에서는 기존 신축이음장치에 활용되는 고무지수재의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 초탄성 형 상기억합금을 활용한 새로운 지수재 개발 연구를 수행하였다. 이에 대해 초탄성 형상기억합금 지수재 와 고무지수재에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하고 비교 및 분석하였으며, 하중 제거 후 원형으로 복원되 는 효과를 통해 지속 사용 가능한 지수재 연구를 검증하였다.

The paper presents the experimental investigation of RC beams retrofitted with Textile Reinforced Mortar (TRM), featuring enhanced bond capacity. Anchoring systems, including an extension of retrofitting length and the use of chemical anchors, are newly employed to improve the structural performance of the RC beam retrofitted with TRM. For the experimental investigation, a total of seven shear-critical RC beams, with and without stirrups, were designed and constructed. The structural behaviors of specimens retrofitted with the proposed TRM methods were compared to those of non-retrofitted specimens or specimens strengthened with conventional TRM methods. Crack pattern, force-displacement relationship, and absorbed energy were evaluated for each specimen. The experimental results indicate a significant improvement in the shear capacity of the RC beam with the proposed retrofitting method. Therefore, it is concluded that the application of an extended retrofitting length and chemical anchors to the TRM retrofitting method can effectively enhance the bond capacity of TRM, thereby improving the shear performance of RC beams.

Radish is an important root vegetable in the world, and many cultivars have been developed with various molecular marker systems to identify these cultivars. Recently developed markers for radish cultivar identification require only 11 primer pairs, but they still use conventional PCR with different annealing temperatures and time-consuming gel electrophoresis. To improve the genotyping method, we applied touchdown PCR with 11 primers with M13 tails among 105 radish cultivars. Touchdown PCR successfully generated amplicons in all 11 M13-tailed primers with a condition of annealing temperature starting from 55℃, decreased by 1°C and 33 cycles at 53°C. The 11 M13-tailed primers followed by fragment analysis produced 71 amplicons, which produced more amplicons than gel electrophoresis that produced 23 amplicons. Especially, simple sequence repeats produced more amplicons, 12 on average, than the other marker types. The present study requires less effort and provides more accurate results compared to genotyping using gel electrophoresis. Besides, a database can be established using digitized genotyping results among radish cultivars.

I-129 is one of the imporant nuclides that must be determined in the disposal process of radioactive waste in many countries. This radionuclide emits gamma-ray and x-ray photons within the energy range of 29 to 39 keV, consequently, an x-ray detector with high resolution performance is required for the analysis of I-129 activity. An n-type coaxial HPGe detector exhibits higher efficiency characteristics compared to a planar-type HPGe detector, however, its resolution is lower than a planar type. So it is difficult to completely deconvolute and fit the gamma-ray and xray peaks in the spectrum using a general gamma-ray spectrum analysis program such as GammaVision. To address this problem, in a previous study introduced the developed algorithm for the fitting and analysis of I-129 gamma-ray and x-ray spectum by fixing their emission ratios. In this study, we improved the algorithm by considering the variation of the efficiency in the HPGe spectrum, which reflects the actual HPGe crystal condition. And algorithm tests were performed using measured I-129 sample spectra with interfering nuclides acting as background curve are introduced.

The thermal evaluations for the conceptual design of the deep geological repository considering the improved modeling of the spent fuel decay heat were conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics computational program. The maximum temperature at the surface of a disposal canister for the technical design requirement should not exceed 100°C. However, the peak temperature at the canister surface should not exceed 95°C considering the safety margin of 5°C due to several uncertainties. All thermal evaluations were based on the time-dependent simulation from the emplacement time of the canister to 100,000 years later. In particular, the heat source condition was set to the decay heat rate and axial decay heat profile of the PLUS7 fuel with 4.0wt% U-235 and 45 GWD/MTU. The thermal properties of the granitic rock in South Korea were applied to the host rock region. For the reference design case, the cooling time of the SNF was set to 40 years, the distance between the deposition holes 8 meters and that between the deposition tunnels 30 meters. However, the peak temperature at the canister surface at 10 years was 95.979°C greater than 95°C. This design did not meet the thermal safety requirement and needed to be modified. For the first modified case, when the distance between the deposition tunnels was set to 30 meters, three cooling time cases of 40, 50 and 60 years and five distances of 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 meters between the deposition holes were considered. The design with the distances of 9 and 10 meters between the deposition holes for the cooling time of 40 years and all five distances for 50 and 60 years were less than 95°C. For the second modified case, when the distance between the deposition holes was set to 8 meters, three cooling time cases of 40, 50 and 60 years and five distances of 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 meters between the deposition tunnels were considered. The design with the distances of 35 and 40 meters between the deposition tunnels for the cooling time of 40 years, the distances of 25, 30, 35 and 40 meters for 50 years and all five distances for 60 years were less than 95°C. As a result, the peak temperature at the canister surface decreased as the cooling time and the distance between the deposition holes and the tunnels increased.

In this study, a smart bench was developed and researched smart benches that can contribute to user convenience and satisfaction by installing them in parks, bus stops, and tourist attractions in line with the rapidly changing construction of smart cities. The smart bench is automatically operated by the control system according to the external temperature and provides additional functions such as charging, lighting, and advertising to improve general bench functions as well as heating in winter and cooling in summer, making it suitable for smart urbanization. The developed smart bench is designed to be strong enough to withstand loads of about 2,500 N. It minimizes the visible parts such as assembled bolts and 220V power supply wires, It can also give aesthetic effects. The development was carried out with the aim of waterproofing and dustproofing of IP44 grade in accordance with the climate of Republic of Korea, which has four seasons, and it is advantageous for long-term use because the paint was selected for the weather ability (discoloration) grade 3 or higher. If smart bench is commercialized, it is believed that various options can be provided to the smart bench market, where buyers had few product options, as the parts were developed in an assembled type so that all functions can be responded in an optional form according to the installation environment and the buyer's budget.

Fishing gear used in coastal fishing should be equipped with fishing buoys, indicating their locations, thus enabling their constant monitoring and detection by other ships to avoid collision. However, common fishing buoys fabricated using Styrofoam, bamboo, or PVC have short detection ranges owing to their weak radar radio wave reflection. Although research on improving the performance of radar equipment is in progress, studies on early detection of fishing gear to reduce collisions with ships sailing nearby are limited. In this study, we conducted experiments to determine methods to prevent collisions between ships and fishing gear by improving both the fishing buoy material and installation method for the reflector to increase the radar detection range of the fishing buoys.

The prolonged and heavy East Asian summer precipitation in 2020 may have been caused by an enhanced Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO), which requires evaluation using forecast models. We examined the performance of GloSea6, an operational forecast model, in predicting the East Asian summer precipitation during July 2020, and investigated the role of MJO in the extreme rainfall event. Two experiments, CON and EXP, were conducted using different convection schemes, 6A and 5A, respectively to simulate various aspects of MJO. The EXP runs yielded stronger forecasts of East Asian precipitation for July 2020 than the CON runs, probably due to the prominent MJO realization in the former experiment. The stronger MJO created stronger moist southerly winds associated with the western North Pacific subtropical high, which led to increased precipitation. The strengthening of the MJO was found to improve the prediction accuracy of East Asian summer precipitation. However, it is important to note that this study does not discuss the impact of changes in the convection scheme on the modulation of MJO. Further research is needed to understand other factors that could strengthen the MJO and improve the forecast.
