Recently, as concrete structure becomes high rise and large scaled tendency, demands for high performance concrete such as high strength, high fluidity and high durability has been increased. Even though high performance concrete performs high strength, workability and durability, compared to with those of normal concrete, it is more brittle than normal concrete. Accordingly, this paper is intended to improve toughness and compressive strength through investigating the mechanical properties of the high performance concrete confined with metal lath, glass fiber and carbon fiber laterally in the case of 30% and 40% of W/B. According to the results, the compressive strength increases in order of metal lath, carbon fiber and glass fiber. Considering strain-stress curve with the kinds of material for lateral confinement, while brittleness failure occurs in plain concrete just after maximum load, it is improved in some degree in confined concrete due to increase of the strain by increase of toughness. Elastic modulus increases slightly in case of confined concrete, like the compressing strength.

This paper presents mechanical properties and chloride diffusivity of the recycled aggregate concretes(RAC) in which natural coarse aggregate was replaced by recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) by compressive strength levels(20, 35, 50 MPa). A total of 9 RAC were produced and classified into three series, each of which included three mixes designed with three compressive strength levels of 20 MPa, 35 MPa and 50 MPa and three RCA replacement ratios of 0, 50 and 100%. Engineering properties of RAC were tested for slump test, air content, compressive strength, chloride penetration depth and chloride diffusion coefficient. The test results indicated that the workability of RAC could be improved or same by RCA replacement ratios, when compared with that containing no RCA. This is probably because of the RCA shape improving the workability of RAC. Also, the test results showed that the compressive strength was decreased by 9~10% as the RCA replacement ratios increase. Furthermore, the result indicated that the measured chloride diffusion coefficient increases by 144% with the increase of the RCA replacement. In the case of the concrete having low level compressive strength, the increase of chloride diffusion coefficient tends to be higher when using the RCA. However, the trend of chloride diffusion coefficient in high level compressive strength concrete is similar to that obtained in general concrete. This is because that the effect of the RCA replacement could be a decrease with increase of compressive strength. Therefore, an advance on the admixture application and mix ratio control are required to improve the chloride resistivity when using the recycled aggregate in large scale.

제지공정의 마지막 단계인 캘린더는 지필의 표면을 평활하게 하고 두께를 감소시켜 균일 하게 하는 역할을 한다. 하지만 캘린더링은 인장강도 둥의 강도적 성질과 불투명도 등 광학 적 성질을 저하시키는 공정이기도 하다. 따라서 캘린더령 공정에 의한 제품 품질의 저하를 극소화하기 위해서는 공정인자의 엄밀한 관리가 요청된다. 캘린더링의 주요 공정인자에는 온도와 압력, 닙 체류시간, 유입지의 함수율, 유입지의 온도 롤의 재질 등이 있다. 이 가운 데 특히 캘린더링 온도와 압력은 주요한 공정 인자이다. 따라서 이들 변수에 의한 캘린더링 공정의 변화를 정확하게 파악하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 캘린더링 공정의 속도와 관련된 닙 체류시간과 유입지의 함수율, 유입지의 온도, 롤의 재질 등은 실제 공정에서 변화시키기 어 려운 반면 온도와 압력은 조절이 비교적 용이한 특정도 지니고 있다. 캘린더링 전후의 종이의 물성 차이는 지필 내부로의 열 침투에 의한 열변형에 따라 크게 달라진다. 셀룰로오스는 유리전이온도 이상으로 가열되면 그 성질이 크게 변화하므로 캘린 더링 시의 온도가 유리전이온도보다 높거나 낮은 경우 캘린더링된 종이의 물성 차이가 크게 달라질 수 밖에 없다. 캘린더령은 비정상상태에서 진행되기 때문에 지펼의 내층보다는 표층 으로부터 순차적으로 열변형이 발생하는 공정이다. 그러므로 지필의 두께 방향으로의 열 침 투 현상의 해석을 통하여 캘린더링 시 유리전이온도가 어느 깊이까지 도달하는가를 파악하 는 것은 캘린더링 공정의 해석에 매우 중요하다. 캘린더링 공정에서 발생하는 열전달현상 해석 시 지필의 압축을 고려하지 않고 비압축성 물질로 가정하는 것은 캘린더링 공정 인자 중 압력에 의한 영향을 제대로 평가하지 못하는 한계를 지니게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지펼의 압축성을 고려하여 캘린더링 모델을 정립 하고, 이를 토대로 캘린더링 공정 조건에 따른 열 침투 현상을 해석코자 하였으며, 그 방법으 로 수치해석기법을 도입하였다. 또 실제 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화를 측정하여 유리전이온도 의 도달 깊이와 비교하였다. 지필의 압축 정도는 롤의 직경과 닙 폭을 이용하여 MD 방향으 로 함수화하였으며, 열전달 계수로는 겉보기 값을 사용하였다. 이때 지펼은 균질한 것으로 가 정하였다. 함수율은 유리전이온도를 좌우하는 가장 큰 인자이나 본 연구에서는 항온항습처리 를 통해 유입지의 함수율을 고정시켰으며 캘린더링 시 함수율의 변이는 없다고 가정하였다. 그 결과 열침투깊이가 증가할수록 지필은 보다 변형되기 쉬운 상태가 되어 주어진 압력 조건에 대해 소성변형 정도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 캘린더링 전후에 두께 변화를 측정하여 정량적으로 평가할 수 있었다. 수치해석기법을 통해 같은 압력 조건에서 온도가 증 가함에 따라 혹은 같은 온도 조건에서 압력이 증가함에 따라 지필 내의 유리전이온도의 침투 깊이가 증가함을 알 수 있었으며 이는 캘린더링 전후의 두께 변화의 측정 결과와 일치하였 다. 또 NRT가 증가함에 따라서도 유리전이온도 침투 깊이가 증가하였다.

To determine the effect of chemical structure of aromatic amino curing agents on thermal and mechanical properties, standard epoxy resin DGEBF (diglycidylether of bisphenol F) was cured with diaminodiphenyl methane (DDM) and diaminodiphenyl sulphone (DDS) in a stoichiometrically equivalent ratio. From this work the effect of aromatic amino curing agents on the thermal and mechanical properties is significantly influenced by the chemical structure of curing agents. In contrast, the results show that the DGEBF/DDS system having the sulfone structure between the benzene rings had higher values in the thermal stability, density, shrinkage ($\%$), thermal expansion coefficient, tensile modulus and strength, flexural modulus and strength than the DGEBF/DDM system having methylene structure between the benzene rings, whereas the DGEBF/DDS system presented low values in maximum exothermic temperature, conversion of epoxide, and grass transition temperature. These results are caused by the relative effects of sulfone group having strong electronegativity and methylene group having (+) repulsive property. The result of fractography shows that the grain distribution of DGEBF/DDS system is more irregular than that of the DGEBF/DDM system.

This paper represents generation of time-varying underwater acoustic channels by performing scattering simulation with time-varying ocean surface and Kirchhoff approximation. In order to estimate the time-varying ocean surface, 1D Pierson-Moskowitz ocean power spectrum and Gaussian correlation function were used. The computed scattering coefficients are applied to the amplitudes of each impulse of BELLHOP simulation result. The scattering coefficients are then compared with measured doppler spectral density of signal components which were scattered from ocean surface and the correlation time used in the Gaussian correlation function was estimated by the comparison. Finally, bit-error-rate and channel correlation simulations were performed with the generated time-varying channel based on passive time-reversal communication scenario.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between petrographical and engineering properties of granitic rocks, widely used as building and ornamental stones in Korea, at the Namwon are a. This area is one of the most famous area as a domestic dimension stone production. The granitic rocks were examined for grain sizes, modal compositions and then same samples were tested to determine specific gravity, water absorption, porosity, uniaxial compressive strength, tensile strength, abrasive hardness, P-wave velocity, modulus of elasticity and Poisson's ratio. It is suggested that the influence of the grain size on the engineering properties is more important than that of the mode of mineralogical compositions. And quartz contents also significantly influence the engineering properties of granitic rocks.

Large scale direct shear tests were carried out to analyze the shear behavior of crushed rocks at local representative quarries. Shear strength for each specimen was derived and the effects on shear behavior induced by the variation of factors such as particle size, water immersion, density, uniformity coefficient, and particle breakage were evaluated and quantitatively compared with previous studies. The opportunity was also taken to identify stress-dilatancy relation of crushed rocks following the energy-based theory and friction coefficients at critical state as well as peak friction angles and dilation angles were estimated. As a result of tests it was found that uniaxial compressive strength and particle breakage of the parent rocks have crucial effect on internal friction angles; in addition, dilatancy at the failure showed strong relationship as well.

The porosity in porous media like concrete can be considered as a durability index since it may be a routine for the intrusion of harmful ions and room for the keeping moisture. Recently, modeling and analysis techniques for deterioration are provided based on the pore structure with the significance of durability and the relationship between porosity and durability characteristics is an important issue. In this paper, a series of mortar samples with five water to cement ratios are prepared and tests for durability performance are carried out including porosity measurement. The durability test covers those for compressive strength, air permeability, chloride diffusion coefficient, absorption, and moisture diffusion coefficient. They are compared with water to cement ratios and porosity. From the normalized data, when porosity increases to 1.45 times, air permeability, chloride diffusion coefficient, absorption, and moisture diffusion coefficient decrease to 2.3 times, 2.1 times, 5.5 times and 3.7 times, respectively, while compressive strength decreases to 0.6 times. It was evaluated that these are linearly changed with porosity showing high corelation factors. Additionally, intended durability performances are established from the test results and literature studies and a porosity for durable concrete is proposed based on them.

A series of shear tests is performed to measure friction coefficients of the interface between different reinforcements and weathered granite soils. The reinforcements tested are smooth steel strip, Paraweb(friction tie) and geotextile with rough surface, while the weathered granite soils are composed of different, grain size distribution. Soils are compacted with the energy of 95% modified AASHTO and fully saturated before testing to simulate the worst site condition. Because of characteristics of the direct shear apparatus, shear strength is obtained in terms of drained condition. Test results show that the more fines the soils contain, the larger ratio of friction coefficient ($\mu=\frac{tan{\delta}}{tan{\Psi}}$) is obtained. Also the ratios are much higher for the Friction tie and the geotextile compared to the smooth steel strip. Those suggest that even weathered granite soils with 36% fines are possible to use as backfill of reinforced earth structures for the two reinforcements when a drainage system is provided.

This study evaluated the durability of nuclear power plant concrete. The main parameters were the water-to-binder ratio and admixture type. The results revealed that high-volume ground granulated blast-furnace slag(GGBS) concrete had lower initial strength, while the strength reached higher after 28 days. On the other hand, the initial strength of fly ash blended concrete was high, but the long-term strength of the robbery was low. The measured durability of GGBS blended concrete was found to be better than that of the existing concrete mix for use in the construction of nuclear power plants. Especially, the GGBS blended concrete was more durable than the fly ash blended concrete in terms of chloride attack, carbonation resistivity and freezing-thawing durability in low compressive strength. The effects of concrete compressive strength according to gamma rays were minor.
