In this paper, we estimated the effect of the siliceous filler's particle size on the performance of Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC). Filler's particle diameters considered in this paper were about 2, 4, 8, 14, $26{\mu}m$ and the performance was evaluated by testing fluidity in fresh concrete, compressive strength, ultimate strain, elastic modulus and flexural strength in hardened concrete. We also carried out XRD and MIP tests to analyze the relationship between the mechanical properties and microstructure. Test results showed that the smaller filler's particle size improves flowability and strength properties. MIP results revealed that the smaller size of filler decreased the porosity and thus increased the strength of UHPC. From XRD analysis, we could find out there were little influence of filler's particle size on chemical reactivity in UHPC.

In recent construction research, the focus has primarily been on developing 3D printers and construction-specific materials. 3D printing technology in construction is growing rapidly due to its potential benefits. However, there's a notable lack of research on the fire performance of 3D Printed Concrete (3DPC) walls. This study addresses this gap by investigating how 3DPC walls respond to controlled heating conditions in a simplified test. The research aims to provide crucial insights into the behavior of 3D-printed mortar composite walls when exposed to fire. The findings have the potential to enhance safety and reliability in 3D printing technology within the construction industry. Furthermore, it could contribute to improving the fire safety standards of architectural structures and expand the use of 3D printing in future construction projects.

This study intends to develop an eco-friendly concrete panel mixed with biochars. Experiments about mechanical and thermal properties were conducted on porous biochar concrete, which has insulation and carbon-capture performance. The concrete has a mixing ratio of 0, 5, 10, and 15 % for biochar and a water-binder ratio of 0.35. The unit weight, porosity, and permeability were measured to evaluate the mechanical characteristics. From the results, as the biochar mixing rate increased, the porosity and the permeability increased, but the unit weight decreased. Even though a decreased trend was observed in the compressive strength results, they satisfied the design standard. Since the thermal conductivity was decreased during the increase of contents, biochar could be considered an excellent material for insulation performance. In addition, regression analyses were conducted regarding the relationship of unit weight with porosity, compressive strength with thermal conductivity, and porous with thermal conductivity. From the regression, significant variables for expanding the scope of the application of biochar were presented.

Bridges are a key infrastructure that underpins economic and social activities. In Korea, bridges began to be built with economic development in the 1970s and were built intensively in the 1980s and 1990s. In recent years, as the number of bridges with a service life of more than 30 years is increasing, continuous maintenance is required to ensure the safety of the bridges. In particular, in order to cope with the aging of bridges, research on technology development such as maintenance using ICT technology, preventive maintenance, life cycle cost reduction, and long life bridge is being actively promoted. This paper presents the results of correlation analysis based on the safety evaluation data of bridges as part of the research on the development of a model for estimating load-carrying capacity of bridges. As a analysis result, indicators highly correlated with the load-carrying capacity of the bridge was derived.

In this study, we aim to develop a carbon-reducing concrete technology by incorporating biochar. Performance evaluation experiments were conducted on concrete mixtures containing biochar with insulating and carbon-capturing properties, which are essential for key infrastructure sectors such as construction and tunnels. Concrete mixtures were designed with different biochar incorporation rates of 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, and 20 %, as w ell as w ater-to-binder ratios of 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40. To assess the physical properties of each mixture, unit weight, total porosity, and permeability were measured, while mechanical properties were determined through the measurement of concrete compressive and flexural strengths. Key factors for enhancing the insulating effect of carbon-reducing concrete containing biochar were identified through regression analysis, indicating a close correlation among biochar incorporation rate, unit weight, concrete strength, and thermal conductivity. It is anticipated that it can be utilized as an insulating material to enhance thermal performance in northern regions with severe winter climates.

우리나라 최초의 거대과학 장치인 포항방사광가속기(PLS)는 지난 16년(1994~2010) 동안 국내외 이용자에게 제3세대 방사광을 제공했다. 최초 2기의 빔라인을 시작으로 꾸준하게 빔라인 증설과 성능개선을 위해 노력해 왔다. 지속해서 늘어나는 방사광 이용자 수와 더욱더 좋은 수준의 방사광 요구에 부응하기 위하여 2009년부터 3년 동안 가속장치의 성능향상사업(PLS-II)을 마쳤다.

A high-precision force-feedback 3-axes accelerometer developed in Korea has been investigated and studied for the verification of feasibility in the computational analysis and health monitoring of civil infrastructures. Through a series of experiment, the nonlinearity, bandwidth, low-frequency signal measurement accuracy and bias characteristics of the accelerometer has been thoroughly compared to those of two accelerometers produced by two market leaders in domestic and global accelerometer market. The experiment results shows that the overall measurement performance of the accelerometer has superiority over the performance of the two accelerometers from global market leader companies. Especially, the accelerometer shows a better low-frequency signal measurement accuracy and constant bias characteristic, which are mostly required in the computational analysis and the long-term health monitoring of large-scale civil infrastructures.

Insulation of rooftop is one of the major performance to energy-saving construction. Further, waterproofing performance is also important. For such a reason, it is need to develop waterproofing method containing thermal insulation property. This study was wanted to evaluate thermal insulation performance about the composite waterproofing method of thermal supplement type that is developed recently. As a result of waterproofing performance test, every test item was showed over the performance standards of KS (Korean (Industrial) Standards). And the result of thermal insulation performance test, the highest temperature in the styrofoam box was $25.91^{\circ}C$, the bubble sheet box was $17.28^{\circ}C$, the insulation sheet box was $15.47^{\circ}C$ and the waterproofing sheet box of thermal supplement type was $24.11^{\circ}C$. In observations of thermal bridges of sheet's joint, thermal bridges was not identified at the sheet's joint. As a result, composite waterproofing method of thermal supplement type is interpreted to have thermal insulation performance.
