Freeze-thaw experiments were conducted to evaluate changes in surface roughness and physical properties in samples of granite from Ilgwang and Imki mines, Korea. The temperature range in the experiments was $-20^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$, based on typical summer and winter temperatures in Korea, and the surface was observed every 20 cycles. One cycle comprised 1 hour of heating or cooling of the samples and 1 hour during which the target temperature was maintained. With increasing repetitions of the freeze-thaw experiment, porosity increased by 0.05%-0.15% in the two samples and the dry weight increased, whereas the volume of the soil and saturation weight decreased. Observations by confocal laser scanning microscope (CLSM) revealed that line and surface roughness parameters showed a tendency to increase and decrease, respectively, with elapsed time. Changes in surface roughness were apparent on the CLSM images.

The waterproofing system's performance is known to show a determing by complex interaction of material factors, design details, and the quality of construction, and the waterproofing integrity of waterproofing membranes is determined by the bond to the deck and the amount of damage to the waterproofing membrane. In this research, the basic properties of waterproofing membranes on market and the tensile adhesive chracteristics of waterproofing systems of concrete bridge deck have also been investigated in the view of the damages frequently reported from job site. For the tensile adhesive strength of sheet waterproofing membranes, the results after asphalt concrete paving tends to increase more than before those. The results of the liquid waterproofing membranes are upside-down, and the more concrete has strength, the more strength of tensile adhesive increase. The ambient temperature of asphalt concrete when application of the waterproofing membrane has considerable influence on the performance of waterproofing system. As described above, waterproofing system can be influenced by several factors. If they are not considered under construction, the overlooking will cause the damages of pavement and waterproofing system after traffic opening.

In order to conduct the "A Study on Experiment for Improvement of Water Quality in Concrete Block Using illite and $TiO_2$ Powder", as a result of the preliminary mortar experiment, water quality purification characteristic test, pollution-resistance test, fish poison test, and the related KS-equivalent tests after manufacturing the actual concrete block, the following conclusion were deduced. As a result of the concrete block functional evaluation equivalent to KS, all the conditions showed higher compressive strength. Even though increase of absorption rate, according to illite replacement in vesicular structure, was expected as a problem, it was replaced after mixing with Titanium dioxide, and then Titanium dioxide was settled in large pores of illite so there was no problem in absorption rate.

Recent development trend of construction projects in the urban area is the efficient use of insufficient land, however caused to difficult construction conditions because of many adjacent structures. This paper presents the case study that analyzed the ground settlement of railroad structure for the double track railway project of Gyeongui line, adjacent to the high rise building under ground excavating for substructure work, considering interaction of soft ground characteristics. Field survey and measurement works were carried out during construction of station and excavation of high rise building, and field data were analyzed to find the source of settlement of platform and railway. In addition, the soil reinforcement and foundation restoration were performed using in-situ injection method, i.e., D-ROG(Digitalized Restoring On Grout) method which filled the pore of bottom and around of foundation with micro-cement.

When the ground temperature drops below $0^{\circ}C$, wet soils expand due to the ice formation in their porous space. This results in frost heave which causes structural stability problems. Frost heave is attributed by several factors such as physical soil properties and heat transfer including pore water phase change. Due to the complex physical phenomena, reliable and verified multi-dimensional numerical models for frost heave problems are still in a research stage. This study presents an efficient and simple method of overcoming numerical problems associated with sudden jump of heat capacity due to the phase change from water to ice in the pore space. This paper proposes heat transfer equation and finite element method when the saturated soils or porous rocks are subjected to freezing. Numerical analyses using the proposed method agree well with the known closed form solution and the laboratory test results.

본 연구는 음식물 퇴비의 합리적인 시용량을 검증하고, 3년 연용에 의한 토양 변화 및 고추 생육과 수량에 미치는 영향을 평가하고 돈분퇴비를 시용한 대조구와 생육 및 품질 면에서 비교 분석하여 적정한 퇴비 시용량을 설정하기 위하여 실시하였다. 처리구는 1, 2, 3차 연도 모두 동일한 방법으로 무처리구, 대조구(2ton/10a의 돈분퇴비), 음식물 퇴비 2t, 4t, 6t, 8ton/10a을 사용한 처리구 등 6개를 두었으며 3반복, 난괴법을 이용하였다. 음식물 퇴비와 돈분 퇴비의 이화학적 특성을 분석한 결과, 음식물 퇴비의 경우 1차 연도는 유기물과 NaCl 모두 부산물 비료의 공정규격에 적합하였으나, 2차 연도는 유기물이, 3차 연도는 NaCl이 공정규격에 적합하지 않았다. 그리고 돈분 퇴비의 경우 수분함량이 약간의 차이를 보였으나 공정규격을 벗어나지는 않았다. 토양은 음식물 퇴비 시용량이 증가할수록 대부분의 화학적 특성이 증가하였고, 연용에 의해서도 유기물, 치환성양이온, NaCl 등의 양이 증가함을 보여 염류집적이 일어나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 또, 음식물 퇴비 시용량증가에 따라 비중은 낮아지고 공극률이 증가하여 물리성 개선에 도움을 주었으나, 1, 2, 3차 연도를 비교해 보았을 때 큰 차이는 없었다. 고추의 생육과 수량에 있어서도 음식물 퇴비 시용량이 증가할수록 초기 생육이 저조하였으며, 그로 인해 수량이 감소하였다. 또한 3년 연용으로 인한 음식물 퇴비의 축적으로 수량의 감소와 품질 저하를 초래하였다. 음식물 퇴비의 연용에서 2ton/10a 이상의 시용은 수량의 감소를 초래하였다. 이러한 결과로 볼 때 음식물 퇴비를 2ton/10a 이하로 사용하면 큰 무리는 없겠지만 장기 연용은 삼가는 것이 좋을 것이라 판단된다. 따라서 음식물 퇴비를 다른 일반 퇴비 제조의 중간 원료나, 또는 혼합 사용하는 시험을 계속 진행 중에 있다.

Porous concrete enables water and air to pass through a firmly hardened material and allows required nutrients to reach roots of plants. The purpose of this study is to analyze void ratio, strength property and planting ability when using silica fume and fly ash, the change of aggregate gradation and ratio of paste to aggregate. The results of an experiment from the planting ability of the porous concrete to its influence on the compressive strength are reported in this paper. As a result of the experiment, the compressive strength is higher when the gradation of aggregate is smaller, and it also goes higher when the ratio of paste to aggregate gets larger. The planting ability of porous concrete is decided by the germination and the grass length of perennial ryegrass. The grass length of perennial ryegrass is longer when the gradation of aggregate is greater and the ratio of paste to aggregate gets smaller. Therefore the efficiency of planting goes through the perennial ryegrass is in compliance with the void ratio, aggregate gradation.

This study enforced to produce the planting concrete block which could be applied to various slopes economically. First of all, the physical properties was investigated with the various types of aggregate and aggregate ratio of the paste for the lead to mixture proportion of the planting concrete. As a result, the orchid stone as aggregate and 30% of aggregate ratio of the paste were used as the basic mixture proportion considering 20${\sim}$30% of maintained void ratio for the growth of plant, over 20% of capillary suction for holding water, and 3MPa as the minimum strength. For the result of the test to the new planting block which was quite different from existing planting concrete block, it could complement the problems and be possible to produce effectively and economically because various slopes like $40^{\circ}{\sim}75^{\circ}$, continual produce by extrusion, and pumping out were possible were possible.

The uneven reaction surface profile facing the lift magnets in attractive Maglev vehicles naturally brings about pitch motion of the bogie. In particular, in the placement configuration of the long stator of the linear synchronous motor (LSM) on the track for high-speed propulsion, surface irregularities and the offsets between the stator packs create measurable airgaps, i.e., the clearance between the magnet and the stator, with discontinuously extreme values, resulting in bogie pitch motion. This occurs because the airgap velocities and accelerations derived by the differentiations of the measured air-gaps are used to determine the voltages applied to the magnets. This paper incorporates bogie pitch motion into a control law for each magnet controller to reduce the variations in both the airgap and the pitch angle. The effectiveness of the proposed method is analyzed using a full-scale Maglev vehicle running over a test track.

In this paper, dispersibility of steel fiber is improved mixing with form for material development of protection and blast resistant structure sprayed concrete. And it is developed a high toughness cellular sprayed concrete material using steel fiber. Oversupply form for dispersibility improvement of steel fiber is mostly fade away through sprayed, finally it is satisfied with the proper mixing ratio under 3 % ~ 6 %. This is considered for compressive strength and flexural toughness. Test results of compressive strength showed superior strength capability in 28, 56 days, also flexural strength and flexural toughness is great. Then oversupply form is enhanced for dispersibility of steel fiber and I think that it did not cause decreasing of strength. But analysis results of pore structure through image analysis failed for a great spacing factor and specific surface area. This is largely measured in spacing factor because air content have a grate evaporation effect for sprayed.
