In this work, we constructed the sulfur-solidified materials using coal bottom ash from four thermal power stations in Korea and investigated their practical data for the production of industrial construction compounds. To manufacture the sulfur-solidified materials, we used a continuous mixer with the uniaxial screw-type. Also, coal bottom ash was used as a fine aggregate below 1.2 mm because of the operation characteristics for the continuous mixer. When the sulfur-solidified materials were produced with diverse sulfur concentrations (15, 20, 25, 30 wt%), compressive strength properties were analyzed. In addition, when the coal bottom ash was used with a high calcium oxide content, crack was found in the test product and pH of submerged liquid was above 12. These experimental results could be effectively applied to the recycling technology of coal bottom ash.

This study intends to evaluate of the characteristics of pavement deformation and develop the model for prediction model in the asphalt layer using a regression analysis. In test, there are two different asphalt binders and 5 different aggregate types. The air voids of hot mix asphalt are 6% and 10% for target value. Repeated triaxial compression test with 3 different confining pressures was used for test at 3 different test temperatures. It is going to verify the main parameters for permanent deformation of HMA and to develop the distress model. This paper is to figure out the factor affecting the pavement deformation, and then to develop model the pavement deformation for asphalt mixture. Also, the reliability of prediction model has been studied. The permanent deformation prediction model for asphalt mixtures with temperature, loading time, and air voids has been developed and the proposed permanent deformation prediction model has been validated by using the multiple regression approach which is called Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS).

준설이란, 물리적으로 수저의 퇴적물을 제거함으로써 하도관리에서 가장 확실하게 퇴적물을 제거하고 통수 단면적을 증가시킬 수 있는 방법 중 하나이다. 우리나라에서는 주로 해안이나 항만에서 주를 이루어져 왔으며, 하천에서는 주로 골재채취를 목적으로 하는 소규모 준설사업이 대부분이었다. 그러나 4대강 살리기 사업으로 인해서 건설된 다기능보는 수위 및 유량을 조절할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 흐름 및 유사의 연속성을 차단하여 유사퇴적이 발생할 가능성이 높아졌음으로 이를 위한 대책으로 유지준설이 이루어져야 한다. 준설은 대규모의 사업비가 투입되는 건설공사이면서, 수저의 퇴적물을 물리적으로 제거함에 따라 고탁도를 발생시키고 생태계를 교란시키는 등의 문제가 있다. 준설선진국인 미국의 경우, 이러한 문제점을 최소화하기 위한 일환으로 환경창(EWs; Environmental Windows)을 개발하여 미국 준설사업의 약 80%에 적용하여 관리하고 있다. 환경창이란, 준설 및 준설토 처분에 관한 작업이 이루어질수 있는 기간을 의미하여, 결정적으로 사회 환경적으로 준설에 따른 영향의 강도가 상대적으로 작은 기간을 선정하여 준설을 허용하는 기간이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 환경창를 국내에 적용하기 위하여 어류, 조류, 친수시설 이용빈도, 홍수기를 이용하였다. 연구대상지역은 낙동강 유역의 금호강 합류점이며, 홍수기에는 준설하지 않는 것을 대전제로 하였다. 어류는 대표어종을 선정하여 연구를 진행하였고, 그 외 조류는 법적보호종인 흑두루미, 친수시설 이용빈도는 4대강 방문객 통계자료를 사용하였다. 엔트로피 가중치 산정방법을 통하여 각 속성별 가중치를 산정하여 최종적으로 한국형 환경창을 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 한국형 환경창은 기존의 환경창과 비교하였을 때, 영향의 정도를 수치로 표현하여 의사결정권자가 간편하게 환경창을 결정할 수 있도록 의사결정지원을 한다는 장점이 있다.

2000년대에 들어서면서부터 최근까지 국내 하천의 식생면적이 급격하게 증가되고 있는 추세이다. 댐 등의 하천 횡단구조물로 인한 유황변화에 의해 봄철 발아기 유량 및 수위 저하가 발생하고 이로 인해 식생의 유입된다는 것은 이미 많은 연구에서 증명되고 논의된 바 있다. 그러나 댐과 같은 구조물이 없는 자연하천이나 소하천의 경우에도 식생 유입이 빠르게 진행되고 있는 것은 전국적인 경향이라고 할 수 있다. 우리나라뿐만 아니라 일본의 경우에도 대부분의 하천에서 식생이 유입되고, 제외지 곳곳에서 수림화가 진행되는 현상이 발생하고 있다. 식생의 이입, 번무 등에 대한 원인으로는 홍수량 조절을 위한 댐 운영, 복단면화 및 직강화 등의 하천정비, 골재채취로 인한 인위적 하상변화, 농업용 비료와 같은 영양염류의 유입 등이 주요원인으로 추정되고 있지만 아직까지 정확한 식생 발생 메카니즘에 대한 분석은 이루어지지 않은 상황이다. 일본의 경우 식생의 발생과 진행에 대한 모형을 구축하고 여러 하천에 적용하여 검증하는 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있지만 지역에 따라 다르게 발생하는 식생의 원인을 단정적으로 결론 내리지는 못하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 연도별 강우패턴 변화가 식생발생에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 1984년에서 2016년까지 강우패턴을 분석한 결과, 전국적으로 발아기인 3월~9월까지의 강우량이 감소함과 동시에, 기준치 이하의 강수량의 빈도가 점차적으로 증가하고 있는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 하천 내 식생, 특히 버드나무류 교목이 발아하는 봄~초여름에 발생하는 홍수가 감소하였음을 의미하고, 이로인해 하천 내에 초본류, 관목류 뿐만 아니라 교목이 발아 및 활착할 수 있는 가능성이 높아졌음을 의미한다. 또한 식생이 현저하게 증가하고 있는 주요지점의 2007년 이후 하천 단면변화와 시수위를 분석한 결과, 2011년 이후 하도 내 고수부지의 침수시간이 현저하게 감소하였으며, 이는 하천식생의 이입 및 번무에 영향을 줄 뿐만 아니라, 식생활착으로 인한 사주 및 하중도 면적의 증가에도 기여하고 있는 것으로 사료된다.

The Alkali-Silica Reaction(ASR) may cause a serious failure in the concrete pavements and structures. Several researches in some nations have conducted the continuous studies to prevent failure of the concrete structures by the ASR distress as well as the studies to manifest the mechanism. The researches on the ASR have not been performed affluently in Korea because the distress due to ASR has seldom been reported literarily. In this study, we tried to set up the systematic scheme practically for verifying the cause of distress due to ASR by using the visual inspections in field, the chemical method, petrographic analysis, and Electron Dispersive X-ray Spectrometer(EDX) method of Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) in laboratory. The chemical method, petrographic method using SEM, and X-ray method were used to verify the cause of pattern crack on the surface and internal crack in the plain concrete pavement. It can be concluded that the distress of a specific site in plain concrete pavement was mainly due to ASR. The chemical method, the petrographic method and EDX method using SEM may be the effective tools for verifying the cause of AAR distresses.

Roughness is the most important factor to maintain the road performance, and affects greatly on the design life in Jointed Plain Concrete pavements. Also, the factors the evaluate pavement‘s commonality is the three method such as functionality, safety and structural performance. In evaluating function of road, representative factors is the roughness, which has been used to determine maintenance time as key standard. As research for roughness is absence in pavement design. Applied roughness-model had a low-reliability in Korea. Therefore, it is needed to develop reliable model in road roughness. In this research, uniform specific is applied to distribute them after selecting the concrete pavements. Concrete pavement is divided by sections of 238. Total length of this sections has 281km and account for 16% of total road length in korean concrete pavements for selected sections. Considering the korean roughness-model, the evaluation of roughness is performed for the freezing index, average annual rainfall, condition for the base, the amount of traffic as well as spalling(%), cracking(%), age(year) at the selected section at the selected section. Also, additional sections is selected to evaluate various age which affects on the roughness. As a result of the analysis, it showed that spalling(%), cracking(%), age(year), and the condition of the base affected road roughness. When the correlation with the road roughness was analyzed, the reliable model for road roughness was proposed, and the ratio that can explain road roughness was R2-68.8% and P value-0 which is statistically meaningful.

Landfill require special care due to the dangers of nearby surface water and underground water pollution caused by leakage of leachate. The leachate does not leak due to the installation of the geomembrane but sharp wastes or landfill equipment can damage the geomembrane and therefore a means of protecting the geomembrane is required. In Korea, in accordance with the waste control act being modified in 1999, protecting the geosynthetics liner on top of the slope of landfill and installing a drainage layer to fluently drain leachate became mandatory, and technologies are being researched to both protect the geomembrane and quickly drain leachate simultaneously. Therefore, this research has its purpose in studying the drainage functions of leachate and protection functions of the geomembrane in order to examine the application possibilities of Geo-Multicell-Composite (GMC) as a Leachate Collection Removal and Protection System (LCRPs) at the slope on top of the geomembrane of landfill by observing methods of inserting filler with high-quality water permeability at the drainage net. GMC's horizontal permeability coefficient is $8.0{\times}10^{-4}m^2/s$ to legal standards satisfeid. Also crash gravel used as filler respected by vertical permeability is 5.0 cm/s, embroidering puncture strength 140.2 kgf. A result of storm drain using artificial rain in GMC model facility, maxinum flow rate of 1,120 L/hr even spray without surface runoff was about 92~97% penetration. Further study, instead of crash gravel used as a filler, such as using recycled aggregate utilization increases and the resulting construction cost is expected to savings.

The objective of this study is to develop sustainable PVA fiber-reinforced cementitious composites (FRCCs) that could exhibit comparable strength level to normal PVA FRCCs with no recycled materials. To evaluate mechanical properties of the FRCCs, compressive, flexural and direct tensile tests were conducted. In addition to the test, to calculate amount of carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) emission at the stage of manufacturing the FRCCs, life cycle inventory data base (LCI DB) were referenced from domestic and Japan. From the test results, the mechanical properties such as compressive, flexural and direct tensile strengths were decreased as the replacement ratio of recycled materials increased. And it was determined that the amount of $CO_2$ emission was reduced for the specimens with higher water-binder ratio (W/B) and replacement ratios. It was also found that binder intensity ($B_i$) value was higher as replacement ratio of fly ash (FA) increased. This result means that larger amount of FA is need to deliver one unit of a given performance indicator (1 MPa of strength) of FRCCs compared to that of ordinary portland cement (OPC). As a result, it could be concluded that FRCCs with W/B 45% replaced by FA 25% and recycled sand (RS) 25% is desirable for both target performance and $CO_2$ emission.

Because asphalt is a solid at normal temperature and is not a hazardous material as stipulated in the Safety Management Act on Hazardous Materials, it is often recognized as having no risk of fire or explosion. On the other hand, it is as dangerous as flammable liquid because it is heated to $170-180^{\circ}C$ and stored in a storage tank. This study analyzed the risk of fire and explosion during the storage and handling of asphalt and the actual conditions of asphalt regulations by fire service organizations. Moreover, this study analyzed the domestic case of explosions in the production process of asphalt concrete (ASCON) and domestic and foreign cases of asphalt storage tank explosions. The analysis suggested that unlike Japan, Korea has no asphalt regulations in fire service organizations. Explosions can occur when ignition is delayed after fuel is sprayed on the dryer drum burner of the aggregates during the production of ASCON. A physical explosion can occur in the storage tank when environmental purification facilities suddenly work strongly to remove air pollutants or bad smells during the heating of asphalt in an asphalt storage tank. In addition, explosions can occur when fires such as welding is performed in the asphalt storage tank.

In this study, the deposition of dredged soils from domestic rivers is simulated in the laboratory using a small soil box. In the tests, small sand with 0.002-0.85 mm, large sand with 0.85-2 mm, and gravel 4.75-5.6 mm are air or water-pluviated into the box. Such various deposition processes are simulated and their dry densities are measured. While dredging or piling such soils, their volume may change. The loss of such soils is calculated by a soil conversion factor C. The C value was determined as 0.91 for small sand, 0.96 for large sand, and 0.91 for gravel. The drainage through soil piles may occur and result in effective stress increase. This may cause the volume change of soils and in order to consider such effect it is necessary to recalculate C values. As a result, dry density increased by 5-12% when the drainage effect is considered. When the drainage effect is considered, the value of soil conversion factor C was 0.81 for small sand, 0.92 for large sand, and 0.82 for gravel. Eventually, the C value decreased up to 4-12%.
