시멘트 콘크리트 포장의 양생 공정에서는 피막양생제를 살포하는 것이 가장 일반적이며 양생포와 같은 덮개를 콘크리트 포장 위에 덮어 온도와 습도를 유지하는 방법으로 콘크리트 포장의 강도를 발현시키기도 한다. 콘크리트 포장의 미끄럼 저항 및 배수, 주행안전 성을 향상시키기 위해서는 양생 공정 이전에 표면 타이닝 공정을 수행하는 것이 일반적이지만 양생 이후에 그루빙을 실시하기도 한다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 포장 품질에 지대한 영향을 주는 양생 작업과 표면 그루빙 작업의 일원화 방법 개발을 위한 기초 연구로써 3D 스케치 프로그램과 3D 프린터를 이용하여 타원형, 삼각형, 사각형 모양의 홈으로 그루빙을 형성하면서 동시에 양생포로 사용이 가 능한 그루빙 양생 플레이트를 설계하여 제작하였다. 그루빙 양생 플레이트의 적용성을 분석하기 위해 콘크리트 공시체를 제작하여 실 내 실험을 수행하였으며 양생 플레이트의 그루빙 홈 형상에 따른 콘크리트 포장 표면 그루빙 형성 상태를 분석하였다.

본 연구에서는 콘크리트 구조물의 내구성 고도화를 위하여 고속도로용 교각 기둥부에 대하여 내부 식성이 우수한 GFRP 보강근 적용하였으며, 설계적 분석, 축소모형 시험체 제작 및 성능 시험을 통하 여 실용화의 타당성를 검증하였다. 설계적으로 교각의 기둥부는 축방향 주철근을 GFRP 보강근으로 대체하였다. 일반적으로 GFRP는 압축부에 취약한 것으로 알려져 있으며, 국외 기준의 경우는 압축부 에 대하여 GFRP 보강근은 저항력이 없는 것으로 가정하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 탄성 교각에 대하여 기존 철근을 대체할 수 있는 GFRP 보강근의 설계적 방안 제시 및 실물 시험을 통한 성능 검증을 수 행하여 결과를 제시하였다. 본 연구 결과는 고속도로용 탄성 교각 기둥의 내구성 증진을 위한 설계 및 실용화에 있어 가능한 가이드라인을 제시할 것으로 기대된다. 다만, 본 연구에서 다룬 기둥부는 주철 근만을 GFRP 보강근으로 대체한 것으로, 향후 GFRP 나선형 보강근 등의 적용, GFRP의 축하중 분담 률 및 건조수축 크리프 특성, 기둥부의 최소 보강근비 산정 그리고 GFRP 보강근의 압축강도 측정법 등 상세 사항에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것이다.

Restraints of Branch Lines are used as earthquake-resistant support devices for fire-fighting pipes along with sway brace devices. The central types are aligned and fixed in a straight line with center of the pipe, but the eccentric types are fixed to on side of the pipe, so a bending moment occurs. In this study, three specimens each of central type and eccentric type were installed at an angle of 45° from the vertical and a monotonic compression load of 1340N was applied. All central type samples satisfied 17.8mm of the allowable displacement, but all eccentric type samples failed to meet the target load and buckled. Therefore, when considering the performance of eccentric type restraints, both compressive load and bending moment must be considered. Even through material mechanics calculations, the yield stress of eccentric type - 3/8 inch all threaded steel bolt - exceeds 320Mpa of the allowable stress. A experiment standards need to be established for eccentric type restraints.

대한민국의 도로의 증가로 인한 복잡화에 따라 터널의 수와 연장이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 본 연구는 시멘트콘크리트 포장의 성 능과 수명에 미치는 환경조건의 영향을 분석한다. 현재까지 시공된 고속도로의 많은 부분이 시멘트콘크리트 포장으로 되어 있으며, 이 에 대한 연구는 오랫동안 진행되어 왔다. 부등건조수축은 슬래브의 상하부 온습도 차이에 의해 발생하며, 일일 및 계절적 주기에 따라 발생한다. 일반적으로, 온습도 변화에 따라 컬링이나 와핑이 발생하는데, 컬링은 낮에는 높은 온도로 인한 하향 수축, 밤에는 낮은 온 도로 인한 상향 수축을 나타낸다. 그러나, 환경조건 변화에 따른 콘크리트 내부 습도 변화에 대한 이해는 아직 크게 연구가 진행되지 않아 포장 설계에 적절히 반영되지 못하고 있다. 이러한 연구는 터널 등 배수가 어려운 지역에서 콘크리트포장의 적절성을 판단하여 공용수명에 기여할 것으로 예상한다. 본 연구에서는 슬래브의 하부 조건이 콘크리트 내부 습도에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 조사한다. 콘크리트 시편을 제작하여 특수한 환경조건에서의 습윤 차이를 모사하여 수분 이동 특성을 연구한다. 실험에서는 슬래브의 한쪽면을 고정하고 반대편이 부등건조수축으 로 인해 발생하는 변형률과 수직변위를 측정할 장비를 설치하여 시간에 따른 변화량을 확인한다.

Modification of the surface of raw activated carbon using chemical solvents can significantly improve the adsorption performance of activated carbon. Triethylenetetramine is one of the most important chemical solvents used to modify raw activated carbon for formaldehyde removal indoor. We conducted the liquid impregnation experiments at different initial concentrations, temperatures, adsorbent dosage and time ranges to fully investigate the adsorption of triethylenetetramine on the surface of raw activated carbon for modification. We found that the Langmuir isotherm model and pseudo-first-order kinetic model fit quite well with the experimental data and the R2 are 0.9883 and 0.9954, respectively. The theoretical maximum adsorption capacity is 166.67 mg/g. The change in Gibbs free energy (ΔG0), enthalpy change (ΔH0) and entropy change (ΔS0) were also calculated to study the direction and driving force of the liquid adsorption process. In order to understand the adsorption process at the molecular level, a new activated carbon model based on the actual physical and chemical properties of activated carbon was carefully established in the Materials Studio to simulate the liquid-phase adsorption. The pore structure, elemental composition, functional group content, density, pore volume, and porosity of the activated carbon model converge close to the actual activated carbon and the adsorption isotherms obtained from the simulation agree well with the experimental results. The results show that the adsorption of triethylenetetramine on activated carbon is a spontaneous, endothermic and monolayer physical adsorption process.

Aluminum alloys, known for their high strength-to-weight ratios and impressive electrical and thermal conductivities, are extensively used in numerous engineering sectors, such as aerospace, automotive, and construction. Recently, significant efforts have been made to develop novel aluminum alloys specifically tailored for additive manufacturing. These new alloys aim to provide an optimal balance between mechanical properties and thermal/ electrical conductivities. In this study, nine combinatorial samples with various alloy compositions were fabricated using direct energy deposition (DED) additive manufacturing by adjusting the feeding speeds of Al6061 alloy and Al-12Si alloy powders. The effects of the alloying elements on the microstructure, electrical conductivity, and hardness were investigated. Generally, as the Si and Cu contents decreased, electrical conductivity increased and hardness decreased, exhibiting trade-off characteristics. However, electrical conductivity and hardness showed an optimal combination when the Si content was adjusted to below 4.5 wt%, which can sufficiently suppress the grain boundary segregation of the α- Si precipitates, and the Cu content was controlled to induce the formation of Al2Cu precipitates.

Asphalt concrete, which is used as a road base material, accounts for >90% of a road pavement. A huge amount of waste concrete and waste asphalt concrete aggregates are generated. Recently, carbon neutrality is promoted across all industries for sustainability. Therefore, to achieve carbon neutrality in the asphalt concrete industry, waste asphalt concrete aggregates should be recycled. Additionally, road base materials are prepared using additives to ensure structural stability, durability, and economic efficiency. In this study, recycled asphalt concrete aggregates were used to evaluate the physical properties of road base materials according to the type of polymer additive and mixing method, and the applicability of road base each material was evaluated. Results showed that when the acrylate-based polymer additive was mixed, the uniaxial compressive strength was 30% higher. Furthermore, the compressive strength of the split mix was improved by ~29% compared to the total mix.

The buffer is installed around the disposal canister, subjected to heating due to decay heat while simultaneously experiencing expansion influenced by groundwater inflow from the surrounding rock. The engineering barrier system for deep geological disposal require the evaluation of longterm evolution based on the verification of individual component performance and the interactions among components within the disposal environment. Thus, it is crucial to identify the thermalhydro- mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes of the buffer and assess its long- and short-term stability based on these interactions. Therefore, we conducted experimental evaluations of saturationswelling, dry heating, gas transport, and mineralogical alterations that the buffer may undergo in the heated-hydration environment. We simulated a 310 mm-thick buffer material in a cylindrical form, simulating the domestic disposal system concept of KRS+ (the improved KAERI reference disposal system for spent nuclear fuel), and subjected it to the disposal environment using heating cartridges and a hydration system. To monitor the thermal-hydro-mechanical behavior within the buffer material, load cells were installed in the hydration section, and both of thermal couples and relative humidity sensors were placed at regular intervals from the heat source. After 140 days of heating and hydration, we dismantled the experimental cell and conducted post-mortem analyses of the samples. In this post-mortem analysis, we performed functions of distance from the water contents, heat source, wet density, dry density, saturation, and X-Ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The results showed that after 140 days in the heated-hydration environment, the samples exhibited a significant decrease water contents and saturation near the heat source, along with very low wet and dry densities. XRD Quantitative Analysis did not indicate mineralogical changes. The findings from this study are expected to be useful for input parameters and THMC interaction assessments for the long-term stability evaluation of buffer in deep geological disposal.

This study aims to evaluate the structural safety of a structural thermal barrier, installed inside the structure of a building and performed the role of a load-bearing element and an insulation simultaneously, contributing to the realization of net-zero buildings. To ensure the reliability of the analysis model, the analysis results derived from LS-DYNA were compared with the experimental results. Based on the results shown through the flexural experiment, the reliability of the thermal cross-section insulation structure model for slabs was validated. In addition, the effect of the UHPC block on the load support performance and its contribution to vertical deflection was verified.

In this study, the change in the mold opening stroke of important functional parts according to the 20, 50, 80, and 100% increase in the injection speed of a hydraulic 150 ton hydraulic injection molding machine was studied to verify the accuracy of the injection speed and mold opening stroke and the reproducibility of the standard deviation. The null and alternative hypotheses were confirmed by conducting hypothesis verification according to the experimental condition change using the experimental design method.
