본 연구는 방부처리 없이 목재데크에 사용되는 수입 목재들의 자연내후성을 조사하기 위하여 실시되었다. 진주 근교의 야외시험장에서 시행된 4년의 지상근접시험(Ground Proximity Test)을 통해 꾸마루, 말라스, 멀바우, 이페, 자토바의 목재부후균 및 흰개미 저항성을 평가하였다. AWPA E7 방식에 의해 매년 2회 정기점검이 실시되었으며 야외노출시험이 종료된 후 목재 시편의 밀도 프로파일 측정을 통해 부위별 부후 정도가 조사되었 다. 다섯 수종 모두 평가 등급이 9.8 이상으로 목재부후균 및 흰개미에 의한 피해가 거의 발생하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 일부 시편의 경우 목구면 부근에서 밀도가 약간 감소하는 경향을 보여주었지만, 대부분은 밀도 변화가 거의 발생하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 이들 수종이 방부처리 없이 국내 목재사용환경범주 H3 (실외 비접지 환경)에 사용할 수 있는 충분한 내구성을 가지고 있다는 것을 의미한다.

본 연구는 공원별 유치거리를 기준으로 보행자가 도달할 수 있는 거리에 따른 서비스 면적 값을 통하여 공원별 접근성 분석을 하고자 한다. 공원별 서비스 면적 값의 도출을 위하여 첫째, 연령 계층의 분류와 보행속도 평균값을 도출하였다. 둘째, 전주시 도보 네트워크를 구축하였다. 셋째, 구축된 도보 네트워 크에 보행 저항요인 중 경사도와 보행 저항성 식을 입력하여 저항요인을 포함한 도보 네트워크를 구축 하였다. 위 데이터들을 기반으로 네트워크 분석을 통해 연령 계층별 속도를 고려한 서비스 면적, 보행 저항요인을 고려한 서비스 면적을 도출하였다. 형성된 서비스 면적간의 뚜렷한 값의 차이를 보여주기 위해 법정 유치거리에 의한 서비스 면적을 기준으로 비율로 수치화하여 비교하였다. 분석결과 보행 저항요인이 고려되지 않은 네트워크에서 청․장년층의 경우 유치거리에 의한 서비스 면적보다 최소 –4.1%, 최대 –53.4%의 감소율을 나타낸다. 고령층의 경우 보행 저항요인이 고려되지 않은 네트워크에 서 최소 –23.9%, 최대 –69.4%라는 큰 격차의 서비스 면적 감소율이 분석되었다. 또한 청·장년층과 고령 층 모두 저항요인이 고려된 네트워크에서 나타나는 서비스 면적은 저항요인을 고려하지 않았을 때 보 다 약 2~3%의 면적이 감소함을 보였다. 본 연구결과를 바탕으로 기존의 설정된 법정 유치거리는 연령 계층, 보행 저항요인 등 다양한 변수를 고려하지 않은 직선거리만의 평균값이며, 기존의 제도적 장치 를 지속해서 사용한다면 서비스 면적의 감소율은 연령 계층과 시간의 흐름에 따라 증가 할 것이다. 본 연구는 기존 산정된 법정 유치거리를 기준으로 연령계층과 보행 저항요인의 고려를 통해 유지되어 왔 던 제도적 장치가 변화가 필요하다는 점을 시각화하고 수치화 하는데 의의가 있다.

PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify the influences on the compactibility evaluation of WMA (Warm Mix Asphalt) mixture by laboratory experiments. METHODS : Two types of WMA additives (chemical and wax types) and two types of compactors (marshall and gyratory) are used in laboratory experiments. In addition, two types of WMA processes (wet and dry) are tested to verify the impact of manufacturing process. RESULTS : The laboratory results show that the effects of compaction method on compactibility are different depending on the type of additive. The compaction method has a significant impact on WMA mixture with chemical type additive to extent that it determines whether required criterion is satisfied, but only little on WMA mixture with wax type additive. In the case of wet process for WMA mixture manufacturing, it is hard to assess the air void of HMA mixture made of same asphalt binder used in WMA mixture since the additive has already been added in asphalt binder. And the test results show that air voids of HMA mixture vary within properties of asphalt binder. CONCLUSIONS : Through this study, it is found that compactibility of WMA mixture is affected by the compaction methods depending on the additive types and by the WMA mixture manufacturing process. Therefore, those are recommended to be considered when evaluating compactibility of WMA mixtures.

Human and material damage can be reduced if the risk is evaluated by engineering analysis of fire combustion products, smoke concentration, and smoke movement speed in the event of a fire in apartment houses and officetels. In this study, a lot of research on related safety evaluation in the basement needs to be studied and reflected in design, so experimental research was conducted to analyze the flow of smoke through computer simulation and provide analysis data through evacuation safety evaluation. First of all, the five-story underground parking lot subject to simulation has a large floor area, which is advantageous for improving evacuation safety performance, but it uses temperature detectors to increase detection time and fire spread speed. Second, it was analyzed that the evacuation time at all evacuation ports did not exceed the evacuation time, and as the time from the start of evacuation to the evacuation time was 216.9% compared to the travel time, it was evaluated that the safety performance of the evacuation was secured. Third, the above simulation results are a comprehensive safety evaluation based on the non-operation of fire extinguishing facilities in the fire room to increase safety, which means that smoother evacuation safety performance can be secured by linking fire extinguishing facilities.

PURPOSES : This research assesses the influence of emulsified asphalt on vegetation growth by examining parameters such as moisture content, temperature, pH, electrical conductivity, and analyzing the extent of green coverage using image analysis. METHODS : Within this study, sensors were employed to measure the growth environment of vegetation treated with emulsified asphalt. Furthermore, the analysis of the greening rate through image analysis has been incorporated. RESULTS : Research indicates that emulsified asphalt effectively secures seeds to surfaces and maintains moisture content for an extended period. However, the excessive utilization of emulsified asphalt has been observed to reduce germination and greening rates. CONCLUSIONS : The application of an optimal emulsified asphalt content is presumed to promote vegetation growth. To establish objective, it is imperative to conduct comprehensive research on its long-term structural effects regarding growth, greening rate, and slope when integrated with emulsified asphalt.

The design of buried underground flexible pipes proposed in domestic standards does not properly reflect changes in ground characteristics. Overseas standards suggest that pipe deflection must be considered while designing them. Therefore, in this study, the structural behavior of underground polyvinyl chloride pipes was investigated through experiments and the finite element analysis. In addition, when the pipe deflection occurred at 3% and 5%, the hydraulic characteristics of the polyvinyl chloride pipe showed a slight difference compared to the round pipe.

본 연구는 어촌다운 어촌 조성과 추후 어촌 개발 사업의 근거 및 방향을 제시하는 것을 목적으로 ‘어촌 다움’을 키워드로 텍스트마이닝 분석을 진행하였다. 텍스트마이닝은 온라인상의 비정형 데이터를 분 석하는 방법으로 키워드의 등장 횟수를 나타내는 키워드 빈도분석, 키워드 간의 관계를 시각화하여 나 타내는 N-gram 분석, 텍스트에 나타나는 사람들의 의견이나 성향을 분석하는 감성분석을 통해 다음과 같은 결론을 내렸다. 첫째, ‘어촌다움’ 키워드는 어촌뿐만 아니라 농촌, 산촌 등 타 촌락과의 연관성이 있으며, 상호 관계와 고유한 조건 속에서 특성이 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 둘째, ‘어촌다움은’ 크게 자연·역사 경관의 보전 및 회복과 주민들의 정주여건 및 환경개선 총 두 가지 방향으로 구분할 수 있었 다. 셋째, ‘어촌다움’ 키워드에 가장 연관이 있었던 어촌 개발 사업인 어촌뉴딜 사업은 감성분석 결과 긍정적인 역할을 했으나 ‘어촌다움’의 일부인 어촌 주민의 정주여건 개선 및 정주기반 구축은 아직 미 비하며, 개선이 필요함을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 ‘어촌다움’과 유사한 키워드인 ‘어촌스러움’, ‘어촌다 운’ 등의 키워드를 함께 분석하지 못한 한계점이 있으며, 향후 이러한 키워드와의 종합적인 분석과 어 촌지역 정주기반에 대한 세부적인 방향 제시가 필요할 것으로 판단한다.

PURPOSES : This study intended to derive a methodology that can evaluate water splash caused by distress on the road surface based on experimental methods and to present quantitatively by analyzing the impact on road users. METHODS : Through literature review, the current problems of road pavement and drainage facility standards, the factors of road splash caused by puddle was selected to measure damage. Field measurements were conducted by setting different conditions for each factors and setting different conditions based on the hypothesis. In addition, water splash by surface distress type and puddle was measured to analyze using statistical techniques from correlation to multi-regression. RESULTS : The maximum and effective distance due to road splash increases as the driving speed, regardless of vehicle load and tyre type. Splash was measured according to the type of road distress to analyze the correlation between the influencing factors, and there was a weak correlation between the width and length of the puddle, depth and the effective distance. In addition, the interaction analysis showed that there was an interaction between the width of the water hole and the depth of puddle. Moreover, based on the multi-regression analysis, it was not statistical significant. This is judged to that the number of data samples used for this analysis is limited because the diversity of puddle conditions cannot be set differently for each type of distress. CONCLUSIONS : Since the distress of depending on the size, depth and shape of the road surface, it is necessary to calculate it and present maintenance standards, so this results present an experimental methodology that can intuitively evaluate damage cased by unestablished puddle. From this results, this is expected to be used as a quantitative indicator to evaluate the satisfaction of road users as a functional performance according to road surface condition.

본 연구는 EMG(electromyography) 텍스타일 전극 개발을 목적으로 레이어 수의 디자인 및 원단을 다르게 하여 성능 및 신호 획득 안정성을 평가한다. 레이징 및 프레스 공정을 통하여 텍스타일 전극을 제조하며 Layer-0, Layer-1, Layer-2로 레이어 유무 및 수에 따른 결과를 분석했다. 이에 레이어 유무에 따라서는 근활성 측정에 영향을, 수가 많을수록 높은 성능이 나타남을 확인할 수 있었다. Layer-2 구조로 통일하여 5가지의 원단(네오프렌, 스판덱스 쿠션, 폴리에스테르 100%, 나일론 스판덱스, 광목 캔버스)으로 전극을 제조해 실험해 보았다. 성능적인 면에서, 원단의 중 량이 높은 나일론 스판덱스가 높은 성능을 보였으며, 스판쿠션 텍스타일 전극이 근활성도 수득에 높은 안정성을 보 였다. 이에 위 연구는 레이어에 따른 성능 연관성과 전극-피부사이의 닿는 면적 간의 관계 등을 고찰하여 슬리브 전체의 의복압을 늘리는 대신 특정 센서 측정 부위에만 높은 압력을 가함으로 차후 연구에서 레이어의 수 및 물성에 따른 전극의 공학적 설계 가능성을 제시한 의의가 있다.

Herein, the existing structural design criteria for highway bridge columns with hollow bars were analyzed. Expanding upon previous research focused on the performance analysis of the columns under compressive loads, load– displacement curves were evaluated and crack analysis was performed under cyclic transverse loads. A three-dimensional nonlinear finite-element structural analysis compared the structural performance of existing steel bars, same-reinforced hollow bars, and reduced hollow bars in detail. Results indicated that with regard to elastic or initial crack behavior, the existing steel bars can be replaced by the other bars. Future research should delve into inelastic behavior and strategies to ensure seismic performance.

Numerous factors contribute to the deterioration of reinforced concrete structures. Elevated temperatures significantly alter the composition of the concrete ingredients, consequently diminishing the concrete's strength properties. With the escalation of global CO2 levels, the carbonation of concrete structures has emerged as a critical challenge, substantially affecting concrete durability research. Assessing and predicting concrete degradation due to thermal effects and carbonation are crucial yet intricate tasks. To address this, multiple prediction models for concrete carbonation and compressive strength under thermal impact have been developed. This study employs seven machine learning algorithms—specifically, multiple linear regression, decision trees, random forest, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, artificial neural networks, and extreme gradient boosting algorithms—to formulate predictive models for concrete carbonation and thermal impact. Two distinct datasets, derived from reported experimental studies, were utilized for training these predictive models. Performance evaluation relied on metrics like root mean square error, mean square error, mean absolute error, and coefficient of determination. The optimization of hyperparameters was achieved through k-fold cross-validation and grid search techniques. The analytical outcomes demonstrate that neural networks and extreme gradient boosting algorithms outshine the remaining five machine learning approaches, showcasing outstanding predictive performance for concrete carbonation and thermal effect modeling.

In this study, the displacement dependence, strength, and energy dissipation capacity of the steel rod damper were evaluated. The test variables are the number of steel rod dampers and the lateral deformation prevention details. From test results, it was evaluated that the displacement dependence conditions in the structural design code were satisfied. The maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity increased linearly as the number of steel rod increased. In addition, the maximum strength and energy dissipation capacity were evaluated by more than 20 times increased by using of the lateral deformation prevention details.

This research uses the Balanced Scorecard framework to create comprehensive performance indicators for foodservice programs in senior welfare centers. The study evaluates these programs in South Korean senior welfare centers from financial, customer, learning and growth, and internal business process perspectives. Thirty-five evaluation indicators were developed and validated through the Delphi study used for the survey study nationwide, and 115 were collected. Thirty elderly welfare centers participated in on-site evaluation by the expert. The results of the survey study, 81.4, indicate overall favorable performance, with social workers scoring slightly lower than dietitians and directors. On-site evaluations showed better performance, 84.4, compared to the survey study. The learning and growth perspective showed a significantly higher score on on-site evaluation, and the score was 20.9, which was 3.1 points higher than 17.8 from the survey study (p<0.001). However, there is room for improvement, including adopting nutrition management programs, defining roles for dietitians and cooks, enhancing food sanitation regulations, and providing financial support. Additional recommendations involve recruiting nutrition personnel, collaborating with local governments, and integrating centers for children’s foodservice management at the local level. This research provides valuable insights into enhancing the foodservice in elderly welfare centers to improve the nutrition and well-being of the elderly population.

Conventional aquaculture faces declining productivity, shifting to recirculating aquaculture system (RAS), known for minimizing water usage and maintaining consistent water temperatures for year-round fish growth. Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), a globally important cold-water species and the third most farmed fish in inland waters of Korea, valued for its fecundity and rapid growth. Dissolved oxygen, an important environmental factor affecting fish production and economics, highlights the need for smart aquaculture practices. Since 2018, the rise of intelligent aquaculture platforms, incorporating information and communications technology (ICT), emphasizes the essential role of RAS implementation. This eight-week study aimed to determine the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS, utilizing a device for continuous monitoring, control and record. Dissolved oxygen concentrations were set at 5-6 mg/L, 9-10 mg/L, 14-15 mg/L and 17-18 mg/L. The growth rate significantly decreased at 5-6 mg/L, with no significant differences in other experimental groups. In hematological analysis, growth hormone (GH) was significantly highest at 5-6 mg/L, followed by 9-10 mg/L while Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) was significantly lowest at 5-6 mg/L. In conclusion, the optimal dissolved oxygen concentration for rainbow trout in RAS is approximately 9-10 mg/L. Higher concentrations do not contribute to further growth or profitability.

최근 우리사회에서 젠더갈등이 지역, 이념, 세대와 더불어 새로운 갈등 으로 부상하는 가운데 20대 대통령선거를 통해 유권자의 관심이 집중되 었다. 본 연구의 목적은 청년세대 남녀 간 갈등으로 취급되었던 젠더갈 등 이슈가 20대 대통령선거에서 쟁점으로 부각되면서 유권자의 주요 정 당 대통령후보에 대한 평가와 투표선택에 어떤 영향을 주었는가를 경험 적으로 분석하는 것이다. 당시 논쟁이 되었던 젠더갈등 이슈로 여성가족 부 폐지를 비롯해 여성할당제 폐지, 여성 병역의무화, 남성 육아휴직이 며, 주요 정당의 대선후보 평가를 후보 호감도와 국정운영 능력 평가로 분석한 결과 윤석열 후보와 이재명 후보의 호감도와 국정운영 능력 평가 전반에 지속적으로 영향을 미친 젠더갈등 이슈는 여성가족부 폐지였다. 또한 여성가족부 폐지 외 두 후보의 평가에 영향을 준 젠더갈등 이슈는 여성 병역의무화와 남성 육아휴직이었다. 마지막으로 두 후보에 대한 유 권자의 투표결정에 영향을 준 젠더갈등 이슈는 여성가족부 폐지로, 여성 가족부 폐지가 유권자의 대선 후보자에 대한 전반적인 평가는 물론 투표 선택에도 결정적 영향을 준 선거의 쟁점 이슈임을 여실히 증명했다.
