The scaling of concrete caused by the combined effects of frost and deicing salt is one of the principle causes of damage to transportation infrastructure in cold-climate regions. In this study, to evaluate the factors affecting scaling resistance of concrete, the relationship between the properties of concrete, such as the mechanical properties and pore structure, and scaling resistance was examined experimentally. The test results showed that the scaling resistance was strongly dependent on the absorption properties of concrete, but not on the compressive strength. Furthermore, it is believed that both the spacing factor and specific surface of the air voids was not a good parameter for evaluating the scaling resistance of concrete. SGC concrete was less durable than OPC and SFC concrete with respect to the scaling resistance in the scope of the present study.

Electric field effect on boiling of refrigerants R11, R113, and FC72 has been investigated experimentally. One purpose of the experimental investigation is to determine the effects of the electrode arrangements on electrohydrodynamic boiling of the above mentioned liquids. The test equipment employed in the experiment consists of a shell and tube heat exchanger with six or six and twelve rows of electrode wires around the tube. It has been found that the applied voltage promotes the boiling heat transfer coefficient except FC72. Boiling heat transfer enhancement obtained is about 230% for R11, 280% for R113. It has also been observed that bubbles detached from the tube aggregate at the place where the electrical gradient force balances with the buoyancy one. These aggregated bubbles force to decrease the boiling heat transfer coefficient as well as to reduce the voltage needed to the dielectric breakdown.

최근 국내에서 연약지반개량을 위하여 적극 도입되기 시작한 차세대 지반처리기술인 경량혼합토공법의 배합설계에 대한 고찰을 하였다. 경량혼합토는 건설잔토나 준설토 및 현장에서 발생하는 점토나 실트질 흙을 사토처리 하지 않고 현장에서 유용할 수 있는 매우 경제적이고 환경적인 공법으로서 일본에서는 지난 10여년에 연간 수백만톤의 경량혼합토를 생산하여 건설현장에 적용한 실적을 보유하고 있다. 특히 폐자원(폐타이어가루, 왕겨)을 경량혼합토에 첨가하여 건설재료 재활용을 위한 역학적 실험을 수행하였다. 본 연구에서는 경량혼합토를 제작하기 위해 필요한 배합설계변수인 원료토의 중량, 함수비 및 기포재와 첨가할 물의 양, 그리고 강도를 발현하기 위하여 필요한 고화재로서 시멘트첨가량에 대한 최적의 배합설계에 대한 분석을 하였다. 지금까지 제안된 시멘트함유량은 초기의 경량혼합토 목표강도가 주어지면 원료토의 조건에 따라 원하는 비중과 강도를 토대로 적절하게 현장에 적합하게 결정하는 단계에 있으나 일부 현장에서 지나친 목표강도 설정으로 과대한 시멘트를 사용하는 사례가 많아 국가적으로 막대한 손실을 초래하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 경량혼합토의 목표강도을 분석하고 그에 따른 최적의 시멘트함유량을 제시하고자 한다.

A multiphase CFD analysis is performed to investigate the effect of near-wall grid for simulating a subcooled boiling flow in vertical tube. The multiphase flow model used in this CFD analysis is the two-fluid model in which liquid(water) and vapor(steam) are considered as continuous and dispersed fluids, respectively. A wall boiling model is also used to simulate the subcooled boiling heat transfer at the heated wall boundary. The diameter and heated length of tube are 0.0154 m and 2 m, respectively. The system pressure in tube is 4.5 MPa and the inlet subcooling is 60 K. The near-wall grid size in the non-dimensional wall unit ($y_{w}^{+}$) was examined from 64 to 172 at the outlet boundary. The CFD calculations predicted the void distributions as well as the liquid and wall temperatures in tube. The predicted axial variations of the void fraction and the wall temperature are compared with the measured ones. The CFD prediction of the wall temperature is shown to slightly depend on the near-wall grid size but the axial void prediction has somewhat large dependency. The CFD prediction was found to show a better agreement with the measured one for the large near-wall grid, e.g., $y_{w}^{+}$ > 100.

boiling flow in vertical tube. The multiphase flow model used in this CFD analysis is the two-fluid model in which liquid(water) and gas(vapour) are considered as continuous and dispersed fluids, respectively. A wall boiling model is also used to simulate the subcooled boiling heat transfer at the heated wall boundary. The diameter and heated length of tube are 0.0154 m and 2 m, respectively. The system pressure in tube is 4.5 MPa and the inlet subcooling is 60 K. The near-wall grid size in the non-dimensional wall unit for lqiuid phase ($y^+_{w,l}$) was examined from 101 to 313 at the outlet boundary. The CFD calculations predicted the void distributions as well as the liquid and wall temperatures in tube. The predicted axial variations of the void fraction and the wall temperature are compared with the measured ones. The CFD prediction of the wall temperature is shown to slightly depend on the near-wall grid size but the axial void prediction has somewhat large dependency. The CFD prediction was found to show a better agreement with the measured one for the large near-wall grid, e.g., $y^+_{w,l}$ > 300 at the tube exit.

The use of wasted concrete can settle the environmental pollution and shortage of natural aggregate. However, recycled aggregate includes substantial amount of cement paste, so that these aggregates are more porous, and less resistant to mechanical actions than natural aggregates. Recently, the new manufacturing processes of high quality recycled aggregates were suggested such as heating. In this paper, for the purpose of manufacture of high quality recycled aggregates, the heating processes was considered to the existing process of recycled aggregates. To find the optimum process, the experiment was performed through the statistical design of experiment. The heating temperatures of 4 levels (300, 450, 600 and $750^{\circ}C$) and heating duration time (5, 20, 40, 60minute) were main experimental variables. Through the test results, it was found that the optimum manufacturing condition of coarse recycled aggregate was evaluated to be $600^{\circ}C$ and 40minute.

Recently, an air-lift bio-reactor operated by micro bubbles has been utilized to product hydrogen fuel. To enhance the performance, characteristics of hydrodynamics inside the bio-reactor were analyzed using a numerical simulation for two-phase flow. An Eulerian model was employed for both of liquid and gas phases. The standard k-ε model was used for turbulence induced by micro bubbles. A Population Balance Model was employed to consider size distribution of bubbles. A hollow cylinder was introduced at the center of the reactor to reduce a dead area which disturbs circulation of CO bubbles. An appropriate diameter of the draft tube and hollow cylinder were optimized for better performance of the bio-reactor. The optimum model could be obtained when the cross-sectional area ratio of the hollow cylinder to the reactor, and the width ratio of the riser to the downcomer approached 0.4 and 3.5, respectively. Consequently, it is expected that the optimum model could enhance the performance of the bio-reactor with the homogeneous distribution and higher density of CO, and more effective mixing.

Dissolved air flotation (DAF) is a solid-liquid separation process that uses fine rising bubbles to remove particles in water. Most of particle-bubble collision occurs in the DAF contact zone. This initial contact considered by the researchers to play a important role for DAF performance. It is hard to make up conceptual model through simple mass balance for estimating collision efficiency in the contact zone because coupled behavior of the solid-liquid-gas phase in DAF system is 90 complicate. In this study, 2-phase(gas-liquid) flow equations for the conservation of mass, momentum and turbulence quantities were solved using an Eulerian-Eulerian approach based on the assumption that very small particle is applied in the DAF system. For the modeling of turbulent 2-phase flow in the reactor, the standard $k-{\varepsilon}$ mode I(liquid phase) and zero-equation(gas phase) were used in CFD code because it is widely accepted and the coefficients for the model are well established. Particle-bubble collision efficiency was calculated using predicted turbulent energy dissipation rate and gas volume fraction. As the result of this study, the authors concluded that bubble size and recycle ratio play important role for flow pattern change in the reactor. Predicted collision efficiency using CFD showed good agreement with measured removal efficiency in the contact zone. Also, simulation results indicated that collision efficiency at 15% recycle ratio is higher than that of 10% and showed increasing tendency of the collision efficiency according to the decrease of the bubble size.

This paper investigates the mechanical characteristics of reinforced lightweight soil (RLS) using waste fishing net. RLS used in this experiment consists of dredged soil taken from construction site of Busan New Port, cement, air foam and waste fishing net. Several series of laboratory tests were performed to compare behavior characteristics between RLS and unreinforced lightweight soil, in which the reinforced effect by waste fishing net on RLS was evaluated. The experimental results of RLS indicated that the stress-strain relationship and the unconfined compressive strength are strongly influenced by the content of waste fishing net. Compressive strength of RLS Increased with the increase in curing time and generally increased by adding waste fishing net, but the amount of increase in compressive strength was not proportional to the content of waste fishing net. In this test, the maximum increase in compressive strength was obtained at 0.25% content of waste fishing net. On the other hand, water content of RLS rapidly decreased up to 7 days of curing time and converged to constant value.
