Background : Angelica gigas Nakai (AGN) is a perennial plant found in East Asian countries and an crucial medicinal herb especially in Korea. It contains several chemicals like pyranocoumarins, which are major active components including decursin (D) and decursinol angelate (DA), essential oils and polyacetylenes. This study was carried out to determine the change in active components depending on the root diameter of AGN. Methods and Results : Several processing steps are involved to use AGN roots as medicine. The dried AGN roots are divided into body (B), thick root (TkR), medium root (MR) and thin root (TnR) according to their diameter before cutting into medicine. Among them, B and TkR are mainly used as medicine. The mean diameter of dried each root part (B, TkR, MR, TnR) were measured as 51.95, 7.05, 2.88, and 1.57 ㎜, respectively. The water content of each root part was slightly reduced depending on the size of the diameter (higher in B). In addition, the two active components, D and DA, were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography. The change of both D and DA content showed a similar tendency. Both D and DA content were increased as the root diameter decreased (higher in TnR). Conclusion : This study showed that the thinner the root diameter, the higher the D and DA content in AGN roots, suggesting that the thinner root parts of AGN could be used as potential materials.

Light Emotion Friendly Concrete (LEFC) transmits light through plastic rods inserted in concrete to stimulate emotion and give new image to space. There is a characteristic that can give a diverse and sensuous feeling depending on the change of the diameter and the interval of the plastic. For the application in the field, it is necessary to analyze the mechanical characteristics according to the case. In this study, we investigate the change of the mechanical properties of the light transmitting concrete reinforced with PVA fiber according to the change of the diameter (5mm, 10mm) and spacing (10mm, 15mm, 20mm) of the plastic rod.

일반적으로, 원전구조물은 다량의 철근이 사용되어 시공과정에서 여러 잠재적 문제점이 발생한다. 특히, 구조부재의 연결부위는 수많은 갈고리철근, 매입철물과 주변 철근 등에 의해 심각한 과밀현상이 발생하므로 여타 다른 부위보다 콘크리트 타설에 더 큰 어려움이 야기 된다. 원전구조물에 사용되는 일반강도(ASTM A615 Gr.60)의 대구경(43 mm & 57 mm) 표준갈고리 철근을 대신하여 고강도(ASTM A615 Gr.80)의 대구경(43 mm & 57 mm) 확대머리 철근을 사용할 수 있도록 관련 기술기준을 개정하여 철근 과밀배근 문제를 해결하는 데 본 연구의 목적이 있다. 확대머리 철근을 원전구조물에 효과적으로 사용하기 위해서는 기존의 정착성능을 그대로 유지하거나 그 이상으로 증가시키면서 사용 제한요건을 완화는 방안을 찾아야 하므로 철근직경, 철근 항복강도, 측면피복 두께와 같이 확대머리 철근의 사용을 제한하는 변수 영향을 검토할 수 있는 실험결과를 분석하여 정착성능을 평가하였다.

Recently, the demand for large diameter piles has been rapidly increased in order to secure the allowable bearing capacity of pile foundation due to the increase of large structures such as high rise buildings. In this study, to improve the shear capacity of a conventional PHC pile, a large diameter composite PHC pile strengthened by in-filled concrete and shear reinforcement was manufactured. All the piles were tested according to the shear strength test method of Korean Standard. As a result of the shear test, the F-type piles which are produced without shear reinforcement occurred abrupt horizontal cracks after flexural and inclined shear cracks occurred. On the contrary, the FT-type piles which are produced with shear reinforcement exhibited stable flexural and inclined shear cracks uniformly over the entire pile without abrupt horizontal cracks. Furthermore, the maximum load of the large diameter composite PHC pile improved to 2.9 times in the F series, and more than 3.3 times in the FT series compared to the conventional PHC pile. This result indicated that FT-type piles had excellent composite behavior due to the shear reinforcement and effectively prevented the unstable growth of inclined shear cracks.

For the purpose of evaluating the strength of high-strength concrete, the strength of small diameter core was compared with 100, 50, and 30 mm cores. In case of high strength concrete, the smaller the core diameter, the lower the strength was. It is probably due to the disturbance of specimen during coring. Therefore, it is considered that it is difficult to apply in the field.

Dowel rebar is key parameter to control the lateral displacement in the sliding slab track. The lateral support block of the sliding slab track is supported by the dowel rebar. In this study, selected parameter (rebar diameter) was expected to affect the performance and behavior of the dowel rebar in the sliding slab track. Furthermore, evaluation of the shear behavior of dowel rebar compared to the results of the Soroushian et al. (1986) and CEB-FIP (2010).

The rice recombinant inbred lines derived from Milyang23 and Gihobyeo cross were used in genetic mapping and QTL analysis studies. In this study, we developed a new 101 CAPS markers based on the SNPs in the whole genome region between these varieties. As a result, the total genetic distance and average distances were 1,696.97 cM and 3.64 cM, respectively. In comparison to the distance of the previous genetic map constructed based on 365 DNA markers, the new genetic map was found to have a decreased distance. The map was applied for the detection of QTLs on all seven traits relevant to diameter of stem internode, length of culms, length of panicles and the number of panicles including the correlation analysis between each trait. The QTLs results were similar to the report in previous studies, whereas the distance between the markers was narrowed and accuracy increased with the addition of 101 CAPS markers. A total of 9 new QTLs were detected for stem internode traits. Among them, qI1D-6 had higher LOD of 5.1 and phenotype variation of 50.92%. In this experiment, a molecular map was constructed with CAPS markers using next generation sequencing showing high accuracy for markers and QTLs. In the future, developing more accurate QTL information on stem internode diameters with various agriculturally important traits will be possible for further rice breeding.

최근 구조물의 대형화에 따른 큰 지지력의 말뚝에 대한 수요가 증가하는 추세이다. 이에 따라 기성 PHC말뚝의 경우에도 700~1,200 mm 범위의 대구경 말뚝에 대한 활용이 증가하고 있고 최근 국내 현장에 적용되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 대구경 PHC말뚝의 휨성능을 향상시키기 위 해 철근과 콘크리트로 보강하여 합성 PHC말뚝을 제작하였다. 휨강도 평가는 4등분점 제하실험을 통해 변위제어 방법으로 수행되었다. 휨실 험을 통해 LICPT 실험체 횡방향 철근의 변형률 분포를 분석한 결과 횡방향 철근의 배근은 전단균열의 진전과 균열폭 제어에 효과적인 것으로 나타났고, 복부전단균열 발생을 억제할 수 있었다. LICPT 실험체는 LICP 실험체 보다 휨강도가 약 1.08배, 중앙부 변위가 약 1.19배 증가하였 고, 횡방향 철근의 배근은 말뚝의 연성적인 휨거동 확보에 유리한 것으로 나타났다. 말뚝 제작시 사용되는 각각의 재료가 휨강도에 기여하는 수준을 층상화 단면 해석으로 계산된 축강도-휨모멘트 상관도를 통해 평가하였다. 기성 PHC말뚝과 LICP 실험체의 실제 휨강도를 1.13배, 1.16 배의 안전율로 예측할 수 있었다.

This study was performed to analyze the flexural performance of large diameter PHC Pile reinforced with transveres and longitudinal rebar and in-filled concrete.

일반적으로 철근콘크리트 구조물에서는 철근의 정착을 위하여 갈고리 철근을 주로 사용하고 있다. 원전 구조물과 같은 특수 구조물에 갈고리 철근을 사용할 경우, 배근되는 철근간의 간섭이 심해져 배근이 어려워지며, 조밀한 배근 간격으로 인하여 콘크리트 타설이 어려지는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 원전 구조물에 대한 확대머리철근의 적용이 필요하다. 현행 구조설계기준에서는 철근의 직경, 항복강도 등에 대하여 확대머리철근의 적용범위에 제한을 두고 있다. 현행 기준으로는 대구경 확대머리철근에 대한 적용이 사실 상 어렵다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 대구경 확대머리철근의 정착 성능 평가 및 원전구조물에 대한 적용성 평가를 위하여, 대구경 확대머리철근을 적용한 외부 보-기둥접합부 실험을 수행하였다. 실험체는 확대머리철근의 정착길이, 측면피복두께, 횡보강근 및 파괴유형을 실험변수 설정하여 설계하였으며, 반복하중을 가력하여 외부 보-기둥접합부의 성능평가를 수행하였다. 성능평가 결과, 정착성능에 큰 영향을 미치는 요인은 측면피복두께 및 횡보강근 지수임을 확인할 수 있었으며, 외부 보-기둥접합부에서 대구경 확대머리철근은 충분한 정착성능을 보여줌을 확인할 수 있었다.

근래 들어 구조물이 대형화 및 장대화되고, 건축물의 고층화와 기둥식 구조의 증가로 인해 기초는 과거보다 상대적으로 큰 연직지지력 또는 수평지지력이 요구되고 있으며 말뚝 시공 장비의 발달과 대형화로 중,대구경 말뚝의 수요가 급격하게 증가하고 있다. 그 중에서도 PHC PILE은 국내에 도입된 이후 기존 PC PILE을 급속하게 대체하여 왔으며, 초창기에 중구경을 많이 사용하여 왔으나 차츰 대형화되어 현재는 Ø700∼1,200까지 사용하고 있는 상황이다. 본 연구과제는 실제 현장에서 적용한 대구경 PHC PILE을 시공한 사례를 중심으로 공법 특징, 장단점, 시공성 및 경제성등에 대해 연구한 내용이다.

This large diameter cable NDE technique was based on the direct current (DC) magnetization technique and a search coil-based magnetic flux measurement. A total flux sensor head was fabricated that was consisted by a magnetization part to magnetize the specimen and a sensing part to measure the total magnetic flux. The magnetization part was consisted by an electro-magnet yoke that fabricated by winding a coil. The magnetic field for magnetizing the main cable was generated by applying the low frequency DC voltage to the winded coil. The sensing part was configured by two semi-circular search coils, and it measures the electromotive force that pass through the search coil by using the faraday’s law of induction. Total flux was calculated by integrating the measured magnetic flux. Then, B-H curve was extracted using the total flux, and cross-sectional loss can be detected using variation of features from the B-H curve.

The next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology is being used for more effective genetic mapping and genome analysis. In this study, we performed whole-genome sequencing on the genomic DNA of Milyang23 and Gihobyeo using NGS and developed new cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers based on the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in coding sequence between these varieties. Approximately, sequences of 60x coverage of the Nipponbare reference genome on average were obtained following Illumina sequencing. Totally, 1,726,798 SNPs between Milyang23 and Gihobyeo were detected. Among them, 149 SNP were selected for CAPS markers and located on genetic map with previously reported 219 PCR-based DNA markers. This map was applied to the detection of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for stem internode diameters, culm length and panicle length in rice with MGRIL population. Newly 6 QTLs were detected for culm length (CL) and stem diameter (ID) traits including the first internode diameter (I1D), third internode diameter (I3D), and fourth internode diameter (I4D). Among those QTLs, qI1D5 and qCL5 had relatively higher LOD score and explained 8.99% and 4.24% of total variation. This study showed that the NGS allowed the rapid discovery of a large number of SNPs for CAPS marker. Only very small portion of SNPs through re-sequencing were used in this study. Furthermore, the results of QTL analysis described above shows relevance of molecular markers in mapping genes for useful traits.

최근 급속하게 발달한 차세대 유전체분석기술을 기반으로 밀양23호와 기호벼의 유전체 서열을 분석하고, 새로운 CAPS 마커를 개발하였다. NGS를 통해 Nipponbare 유전체 길이의 60 배수만큼 염기서열을 결정하였고, CDS 안에서 두 품종간 특이적으로 나타나는 SNP를 CAPS 마커로 이용하였다. 새롭게 개발된 146개 CAPS 마커와 기존의 보고된 219개 마커를 통합하여 총 365개의 마커로 밀양23호/기호벼의 재조합자식 유전집단에 대해 분자 유전지도를 작성하였다. 벼의 줄기굵기와 간장 그리고 수장에 관한 QTL을 탐색한 결과, 총 19개의 유의성이 있는 QTL을 찾을 수 있었다. 이 중에 4개 줄기굵기 형질 관련 QTL과 2개 간장 형질 관련 QTL이 기존에 보고되지 않은 새로운 QTL이었다. 그 줄기굵기 QTL 중 가장 큰 LOD값을 갖는 qI1D5는 5번 염색체에서 탐색되었으며, 1절굵기 표현형 변이는 8.99%였다. 또한, 간장관련 QTL 중 가장 큰 LOD 값을 갖는 qCL5은 5번 염색체에서 탐색되었고, 이 QTL의 간장 표현형 변이는 4.24%였다. 재염기서열을 통해 밝혀진 SNP 중 소수만이 본 연구에 사용되었다. 향후 본 연구에서 밝혀진 SNP 정보를 이용한다면 더 많은 마커를 개발하여, 고밀도 유전지도 작성이 가능할 것이다. 더 나아가 MGRIL을 이용하여 농업적으로 유용한 형질에 대해 더 정확한 QTL 분석과 유용유전자의 개발이 가능하게 될 것이다.

This study was carried out to investigate change of ginsenoside contents according to tissue ratio in ginseng root by age and diameter. The epidermis-cortex and xylem-pith extent, fresh weight, dry weight of ginseng increased with the root age increase. They increased higher in xylem-pith than in epidermis-cortex. The ratio of epidermis-cortex decreased and xylem-pith increased as the main root diameter increased. In case of same diameter, the xylem-pith ratio increased by the increase of root age. The epidermis-cortex ratio was 4 > 5 > 6 years, respectively. The total 10 ginsenosides of epidermis- cortex increased with the root age increase. However, the total ginsenoside of xylem-pith decreased and it was 2~5 times lower than epidermis-cortex. The most of ginsenoside contents existed in epidermis-cortex. The diameter decrease in main root is related to the increase of epidermis-cortex ratio. It leads to increase of ginsenoside contents. In order to select high level of ginsenoside cultivar, it suggested that it should be selected main root having narrow diameter and lower epidermis- cortex ratio.

This study was carried out to investigate ginsenoside content in different root parts and the correlation between root diameter and ginsenoside composition of Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer cultivated by direct seeding. The unit contents of ginsenoside were 29.65, 28.76, 26.34 mg/g, respectively in 4, 5, 6 years old. However, the total contents of ginsenoside were 431.97, 606.56, 657.80 mg/root, respectively. Total ginsenoside content of fine root was higher than that of main root and lateral root. These tendencies were related to decrease by the increase of root diameter. When diameter of main root and lateral root were the same in different ages, the total ginsenoside content was higher in the order of 4 > 5 > 6 years old roots. Except for ginsenoside-Rg1, other ginsenosides components (PD/PT and total ginsenosides) had highly negative correlation with the root diameter within whole root, main root, lateral root and fine root, which indicated that ginsenoside content is correlated to root diameter. As results, it is suggested that ginsenoside content can be predicted.

Roughness coefficient was computed for review of applicability based on measurement of the representative grain diameter reflecting channel characteristics of Han Stream. After field survey, collection of bed material, and grain analysis on the collected bed material, roughness coefficient was computed using representative grain and existing empirical equation for roughness coefficient. Value of roughness coefficient calculated using equation by Meyer-Peter and Muller (1948) was 0.0417 for upstream, 0.0432 for midstream, and 0.0493 for downstream. As a result of comparing the computed roughness coefficient to other empirical equations for review of applicability, the coefficient was larger in Strickler (1923) equation by 0.006. Smaller coefficient was shown by Planning Report for River Improvement Works. Equation by Garde and Raju (1978) was larger by 0.004, and equations by Lane and Carlson (1953) and by Meyer-Peter and Muller (1948) were larger by 0.001. Such precise roughness coefficient is extremely important when computing the amount of flood in rivers to prevent destruction of downstream embankments and property damages from flooding. Since roughness coefficient is a factor determined by complicated elements and differs according to time and space, continued management of roughness coefficient in rivers and streams is deemed necessary.
