수소는 연소 과정에서 산소와 반응하여 물과 열만을 생성하며 공해 물질이 배출하지 않아 깨끗한 에너지원으로 간주된다. 이러한 특징으로 산업 활동으로 비롯된 대기 오염, 이상 기후 문제 등을 해결 하기 위한 대책안으로써 수소를 활용한 신재생에너지가 세계적으로 주목받고 있다. 이에 따라 선행 연 구에서는 수직형 탱크 구조의 취약부로 평가되는 지지부 단면 변화에 따른 영향성을 평가하기 위해 수소 생산 인프라 현장 조사를 수행한 바 있으며, 현장 조사 중에 현장 설치된 수소 탱크 강재 지지부 의 부식 문제를 확인하였다. 지지부의 부식은 구조물의 전체 강성을 감소시키며, 재난(지진)에 취약해 져 수소 저장 용기가 손상으로 인한 2차 피해로 이어질 수 있다. 이에 따라 본 연구는 선행 연구의 후속 연구로써 강재 지지부의 부식 문제를 개선하고자 고강도-저중량 재료인 CFRP(Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer)를 사용한 지지부를 개발하여 수치해석을 통해 CFRP 지지부의 내진 성능평가를 목적으로 한다. 해석에 사용된 수소 탱크는 크게 몸체, 지지부, 기초부, 앵커 볼트로 구성되어 있으며, 지지부는 높이 965mm, 75×75×9.5mm의 L형강 4개로 확인되었다. 지진 하중에 대한 동적 성능을 평가하기 위해 시간이력해석법이 사용되었으며, 적용 동적하중의 경우, ASCE의 ICC-ES에서 제시한 평가 기준에 따라 AC 156 Amplitude 100%의 인공 지진을 적용하였다. 해석 결과, CFRP 지지부와 강재 지지부 상단의 최대 변위가 각각 35.48, 32.54mm로 매우 유사한 것으로 나타났으며, Hashin Damage Criteria를 사용하여 CFRP 지지부의 최대 손상 지수를 측정한 결과 수지의 인장측에서 0.065로 확인되었다. 이는 기준 손상 지수 1 대비 매우 낮은 수준이며, 해석 결과를 종합했을 때 CFRP 지지부는 충분한 안전성을 보이는 것으로 판단된다.

본 논문은 초탄성 형상기억합금의 복원성능에 의해 지속적으로 사용이 가능하고 마찰볼트 적용으로 에너지 소산 능력이 우수한 에너지 소산형 댐퍼를 제안하고 성능의 우수성을 입증하기 위해 구조용 탄소강이 적용된 댐퍼와 함께 해석을 통한 결과 비교 분석을 진행하였다. 해석결과에 대해 최대하중, 잔류변위, 에너지 소산등의 분석을 진행하여 초탄성 형상기억합금이 적용된 댐퍼의 우수성을 입증하였 으며, 해석 결과로 초탄성 형상기억합금이 적용됨에 따라 하중 성능과 잔류변위의 회복성능이 상당히 개선됨을 확인하였다. 최대하중의 경우 SSF댐퍼가 382.60kN으로 가장 우수하였으며 잔류변위의 경우 마찰볼트가 적용되지 않은 SS10, SS15가 0mm로 가장 우수한 회복거동을 보였다. 에너지소산의 경우 마찰볼트와 재료의 항복에 의한 연성효과가 우수한 CSF15가 가장 우수한 성능에 대한 거동 특성을 파악한다.

본 연구는 특수한 조건에서의 줄눈 콘크리트포장의 설계 및 성능에 관한 분석을 목적으로 한다. 줄눈 콘크리트포장은 시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 한 형태로, 오랜 기간 도로 포장형식으로 사용되어 왔다. 이 포장 방식은 철근을 사용하지 않는 대신, 콘크리트 슬래브의 균열을 줄눈을 통해 유도하고, 다월바와 타이바를 통해 슬래브에 생기는 응력을 줄이는 방식이 다. 대한민국의 다양한 지역 환경과 계절적 특성은 도로 포장설계에 주요한 인자로 적용된다. 특히, 슬래브의 부등건조수 축이 평탄성 문제의 주요 원인으로 지적되며, 이는 온습도의 변화에 의해 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 3차원 유한요소해석 을 활용하여 줄눈 콘크리트포장 슬래브의 거동을 분석하고, 콘크리트 슬래브의 두께, 줄눈 간격, 타이바 및 다웰바의 배 치 등 주요 설계 변수의 영향을 평가한다. 이러한 설계 인자들이 슬래브의 응력과 변위에 미치는 영향을 확인하며, 다양 한 환경 조건 하에서의 설계 방법의 유효성을 검증한다. 본 연구는 줄눈 콘크리트포장의 실제 배치 방식을 모델링하여, 기존 설계 방식의 보안 사항을 파악하고, 설계 기준 내에서의 주요 인자 변화를 통해 부등건조수축을 완화할 수 있는 방 안을 제시한다. 이를 통해, 특수 환경 조건에서의 온습도 영향을 고려한 효율적인 포장 설계 방안을 도출함으로써, 도로 포장의 평탄성과 내구성 향상에 기여하고자 한다.

국내 고속도로의 본선차로 포장은 시공비용이 저렴한 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 주로 시공하였으나, 최근 유지보수비용이 증가함에 따 라 유지관리비용이 저렴하고 공용성이 뛰어난 연속철근 콘크리트 포장을 확대 적용하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 본선차로가 연속철근 콘크리트 포장으로 시공될 때 접속차로의 포장은 대부분 줄눈 콘크리트 포장으로 시공하고 있어 서로 다른 포장 형식이 접속함으로 인해 거동 차이가 발생하여 접속부에서 파손이 발생하기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 본선차로 연속철근 콘크리트 포장과 접속차로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장을 시공할 경우 줄눈 간격에 따른 접속차로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장의 응력 특성을 분석하기 위하여 유한요소해석 프 로그램을 이용하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 줄눈 간격별로 줄눈 콘크리트 포장의 해석모델을 구성하였으며 환경하중인 선형수직온도 경사와 온도하강, 그리고 선형수직온도경사와 온도하강을 동시에 적용하여 해석을 실시하였다. 구조해석 결과, 모든 온도조건에서 줄 눈 간격이 좁아질수록 슬래브와 타이바의 응력이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다.

This study utilizes social big data to investigate the factors influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior toward vegan fashion consumption among global and Korean consumers. Social media posts containing the keyword “vegan fashion” were gathered, and meaningful discourse patterns were identified using semantic network analysis and sentiment analysis. The study revealed that diverse factors guide the purchase of vegan fashion products within global consumer groups, while among Korean consumers, the predominant discourse involved the concepts of veganism and ethics, indicating a heightened awareness of vegan fashion. The research then delved into the factors underpinning awareness (comprehension of animal exploitation, environmental concerns, and alternative materials), attitudes (both positive and negative), and behaviors (exploration, rejection, advocacy, purchase decisions, recommendations, utilization, and disposal). Global consumers placed great significance on product-related information, whereas Korean consumers prioritized ethical integrity and reasonable pricing. In addition, environmental issues stemming from synthetic fibers emerged as a significant factor influencing the awareness, attitude, and behavior regarding vegan fashion consumption. Further, this study confirmed the potential presence of cultural disparities influencing overall awareness, attitude, and behavior concerning the acceptance of vegan fashion, and offers insights into vegan fashion marketing strategies tailored to specific cultures, aiming to provide vegan fashion companies and brands with a deeper understanding of their consumer base.

The seismic separation joint is an important device that absorbs vibration displacement from earthquake shock and protects fire extinguishing pipes and various utility pipes. In this study, the mechanical behavior occurring in U-typed and V-typed seismic separation joint was analyzed according to the length of the bellows, the length of the elbow straight pipe, and the open angle. As a result, as the length of the bellows increased, the stress and natural frequency decreased. In addition, as the length of the elbow straight pipe increased, the stress tended to decrease in the case of forced displacement in the vertical direction. As the open angle increased, the stress in the case of forced displacement in the left and right directions increased.

This study was conducted to investigate whether there were differences in eco-friendly food, home meal replacement (HMR) purchases, and eating-out behavior according to the level of agri-food consumer competence. The data for the study were extracted from main food consumers (n=3,321) in the 2022 Food Consumption Behavior Survey. The competence index was divided into awareness-attitude-practice items, and three groups were classified by competence level. The results showed an agri-food consumer competency score of 70.62, with the highest score for awareness (73.96), followed by practice (69.28) and attitude (66.18). The frequency of purchasing eco-friendly food was higher in the excellent group compared to other groups, and quality and price satisfaction was higher with higher competency (p<0.001). Regarding HMR, the results showed that the shortage group had the lowest HMR consumption rate, and satisfaction decreased as competence decreased (p<0.001). The main reason for eating-out was to enjoy food in all groups (59.0%), followed by a lack of cooking time in the excellent group (15.7%) and hassle with food preparation in the moderate and shortage groups (17.3%, 16.6%) (p<0.001). In short, agri-food consumption competency showed differences by contents and components, and differences in food purchases and eating-out behavior by competency level were found.

This study was undertaken to provide basic data to aid product development and marketing by identifying purchasing behaviors and performing Important Performance Analysis (IPA) according to the consumption values of rice cakes. This study was conducted on 426 consumers who purchased rice cakes. Analysis was performed to determine general characteristics, consumption behaviors, preference for rice cakes, material preferences for rice cake development, need for rice cake development, and importance and satisfaction when selecting rice cakes. Cluster analysis classified consumption values into three clusters. The high and middle consumption value groups contained the greatest proportions of consumers aged over fifty. The high and medium consumption value groups preferred rice cakes more than the low consumption value group. Higher rice cake consumption value was positively associated with the greater preference for rice cakes. Furthermore, the perceived need to develop rice cakes was greatest in the high consumption value group. In addition, importance and satisfaction were positively associated with consumption value. IPA analysis showed that the attributes that require continuous attention because of their contributions to importance and satisfaction were taste, quantity, and hygiene. Different rice cake marketing and product development strategies are required for different consumption values.

PURPOSES : This study is to analyze factors affecting improper parking behaviors in a perspective of personal mobility users. Detailed purposes are as follows. Firstly, exogenous and endogenous latent variables were set. Secondly, structural equation model were constructed. Hypothesis for the structural equation model were established. Then model’s goodness of fit was analyzed and following the result model was modified. Lastly, factors affecting improper personal mobility parking behavior was found out. METHODS : Based on the literature review, exogenous and endogenous latent variables were set. Correlation between latent variables and their observed variables was defined to build structural equation model. According to the model hypothesis was established. In order to collect data, survey was conducted on personal mobility users. Model’s goodness fit was verified and the model was modified. Lastly in order to find out the factors affecting improper personal mobility parking behavior path analysis was conducted. RESULTS : Based on literature review, based on 6 of latent variables the structural equation model was made. Survey was conducted on 341 participants who has used personal mobility at least once based on Likert 5-point scale. Out of 341 responses 22 responses considered as careless responses were removed. As a result of analysis of structural equation model, it turned out that ‘ease of transfer’ had a positive effect on improper parking of personal mobility meanwhile ‘convenience’ and ‘road condition’ had a negative effect. CONCLUSIONS : It was concluded that the proximity and accessibility to the transfer facility could be important when installing personal mobility parking lot as improper parking behavior of personal mobility users could be affected by ease of transfer to other traffic mode. Also, interval of parking lots, location and its road condition should be considered in order to make it convenient for users to find parking lot and to encourage them to use it more often.

PURPOSES : The wedge-type anchorage system requires a complex analysis of not only the tensile stress of the CFRP plate, but also the compressive stress and shear stress generated by the wedge action. The purpose of this study is to find a composite material failure theory that is suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system among various failure theories. METHODS : In this study, numerical analysis of various composite material failure theories was performed to analyze the anchorage strength and failure mode of the wedge-type anchorage system according to each failure theory, and compared with actual test results to determine the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of a wedge-type anchorage system. RESULTS : Since the Maximum Stress failure theory shows similar results to the actual test in terms of failure mode and anchorage strength, there is no significant problem in applying it to the wedge-type anchorage system. However, it is judged to be difficult to apply under property conditions where interactions between stresses are highlighted. The Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu failure theories are considered unsuitable for application to wedge-type anchorage systems because the wedge angle conditions at which the most advantageous anchorage strength occurs are significantly different from other theories and the fracture type cannot be predicted. The Hashin-Rotem failure theory is considered to be the most appropriate to apply as a failure theory for the wedge-shaped anchorage system because the anchorage strength was slightly lower than the actual test results, but there was no significant difference, and the failure mode was consistent with the test results. The Hashin failure theory is judged to be unsuitable for application as a failure theory for the wedge-type anchorage system because the anchorage strength and failure mode were interpreted differently from the actual test results. CONCLUSIONS : The Hashin-Rotem failure theory was presented as the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system.

Recently, as carbon-neutral energy sources become increasingly important worldwide, SMRs (Small Modular Reactors), which offer significantly enhanced safety, versatility, and mobility compared to conventional nuclear reactors, are gaining attention as a viable alternative. SMR generally refers to small modular reactors with a power output of 300 MWe or less. Unlike conventional reactors, SMRs are characterized by an all-in-one design where peripheral systems and equipment are all integrated into the reactor itself, leading to enhanced reliability and durability. Additionally, the nuclear fuel reloading cycle is significantly extended compared to traditional reactors, resulting in a substantial reduction in maintenance difficulty and costs. Researchers have taken note of these characteristics of SMRs, particularly the extended fuel reloading cycle. Therefore, we have initiated the initial design of an ultra-small Micro Modular Reactor with an electricity generation capacity of 10 MWe and a fuel cycle of up to 55 years, with the goal of using it as a propulsion power source for various transportation modes, especially ships. Our design of MMR, called ‘ARA,’ is primarily distinguished by its use of U233 and Th232 fuels instead of conventional UO2 fuel. Due to various features of ‘ARA,’ including different fuel compositions, ARA is predicted to exhibit several characteristic features compared to conventional PWRs. In this study, among these characteristics, we focused on predicting changes in material composition within the fuel rod during the extended cycle operation of high-enriched fuel, rather than short-cycle operation using low-enriched fuel, unlike conventional reactors. The primary goal of this research is to observe the behavior of the composition of the materials used in the fuel cycle of the MMR, which utilizes U233 and Th232 fuels instead of UO2. Considering the difficulties in the spent nuclear fuel disposal process, many different trials were made to minimize the fission products of ARA, which differs from conventional reactors in terms of fuel type, size, and fuel cycle, in relation to waste generation.

Molybdenum-tungsten (Mo-W) alloy sputtering targets are widely utilized in fields like electronics, nanotechnology, sensors, and as gate electrodes for TFT-LCDs, owing to their superior properties such as hightemperature stability, low thermal expansion coefficient, electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance. To achieve optimal performance in application, these targets’ purity, relative density, and grain size of these targets must be carefully controlled. We utilized nanopowders, prepared via the Pechini method, to obtain uniform and fine powders, then carried out spark plasma sintering (SPS) to densify these powders. Our studies revealed that the sintered compacts made from these nanopowders exhibited outstanding features, such as a high relative density of more than 99%, consistent grain size of 3.43 μm, and shape, absence of preferred orientation.

With the increasing attention to environmental pollution caused by particulate matter globally, the automotive industry has also become increasingly interested in particulate matter, especially particulate matter generated by automobile brake systems. Here, we designed a coating composition and analyzed its mechanical properties to reduce particulate matter generated by brake systems during braking of vehicles. We designed a composition to check the mechanical properties change by adding Cr3C2 and YSZ to the WC-Ni-Cr composite composition. Based on the designed composition, coating samples were manufactured, and the coating properties were analyzed by Vickers hardness and ball-on-disk tests. As a result of the experiments, we found that the hardness and friction coefficient of the coating increased as the amount of Cr3C2 added decreased. Furthermore, we found that the hardness of the coating layer decreased when YSZ was added at 20vol%, but the friction coefficient was higher than the composition with Cr3C2 addition.

PURPOSES : This study aims to understand the effect of defective dowel bar installation on jointed concrete pavement (JCP), which can cause joint freezing, spalling, cracking, and faulting and finally shorten the lifespan of the pavement. METHODS : A comprehensive field survey was undertaken at an expressway construction site in South Korea to assess dowel bar installation conditions. In addition, finite element (FE) analysis was used to simulate JCP behavior with both vertical and horizontal dowel misalignments. Different temperature conditions, including a change of -55 °C and gradient of -0.1 °C/mm, were integrated into the FE model to examine horizontal slab contraction and simultaneous slab curling. RESULTS : The analysis revealed pronounced slab behaviors under specific temperature changes, particularly when combined with dowel misalignments. The simultaneous effects of horizontal contraction and slab curling owing to temperature changes and gradients became more evident in the presence of dowel misalignments. CONCLUSIONS : The results confirmed that dowel bar misalignment considerably affected the behavior of the JCP, thereby emphasizing the importance of the proper installation of dowel bars.

Recently, Free-Form and Irregular Shape high-rise buildings are constructed by IT technology development. Tilted shaped high-rise building which is one of Irregular shape high-rise buildings can cause lateral displacement by gravity load and lateral load due to tilted elevation shape. Therefore, it is necessary to review the behavior and structural aspects of the Tilted shape high-rise building by gravity load. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of a tilted structure with a dual-core were analyzed with the core location as a design variable, and response behavior, vulnerable members, and vulnerable layers to earthquake loads were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, as the location of the core moved in an tilted direction, the eccentric distance and eccentric load decreased, reducing the axial force of the vertical members. However, the location of the core had little effect on the response.

In this research, we examined the shifts in determinants influencing the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases pre- and post-COVID-19. Our analysis utilized filtered 2019-2021 Consumption Behavior Survey data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute Food, excluding any irrational responses. Given the nature of the dependent variable, a multinomial logistic regression model was employed with demographic factors, variables pertaining to food consumption behavior, and variables concerning food consumption awareness as predictors. Following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, an individual's level of education was observed to positively influence the frequency of eco-friendly food purchases. In contrast, income level and fluctuations in food consumption expenditure did not appear to have a discernible impact on the purchasing frequency of such eco-friendly products. Irrespective of the advent of COVID-19, variables such as the frequency of online food purchases, the utilization of early morning delivery services, dining out frequency, and the intake of health-functional foods consistently demonstrated a positive correlation with the propensity to purchase eco-friendly foods. Overall, consumers prioritizing safety, quality, and nutrition over price, taste, and convenience in their procurement decisions for rice, vegetables, meat, and processed foods exhibit an increased inclination toward the acquisition of eco-friendly food products.

PURPOSES : Because a driving simulator typically focuses on analyzing a driver’s driving behavior, it is difficult to analyze the effect on the overall traffic flow. In contrast, traffic simulation can analyze traffic flow, that is, the interaction between vehicles; however, it has limitations in describing a driver’s driving behavior. Therefore, a method for integrating the simulator and traffic simulation was proposed. Information that could be controlled through driving experiments was used, and only the lane-change distance was considered so that a more natural driving behavior could be described in the traffic flow. METHODS : The simulated connection method proposed in this study was implemented under the assumption of specific traffic conditions. The driver’s lane-changing behavior (lane-changing distance, deceleration, and steering wheel) due to the occurrence of road debris was collected through a driving study. The lane-change distance was input as a parameter for the traffic simulation. Driving behavior and safety were compared between the basic traffic simulation setting, in which the driver's driving behavior information was not reflected, and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated. RESULTS : The number of conflicts between the traffic simulation default settings (Case 1) and the situation in which the driving simulator and traffic simulation were integrated (Case 2) was determined and compared for each analysis. The analysis revealed that the number of conflicts varied based on the level of service and road alignment of the analysis section. In addition, a statistical analysis was performed to verify the differences between the scenarios. There was a significant difference in the number of conflicts based on the level of service and road alignment. When analyzing a traffic simulation, it is necessary to replicate the driving behavior of the actual driver. CONCLUSIONS : We proposed an integration plan between the driving simulator and traffic simulation. This information can be used as fundamental data for the advancement of simulation integration methods.
