Military vehicles use run-flat wheels for emergency situations. Run-flat wheels can run required distance in a defined duration with the pressure loss tire. For the application of a run-flat system, wheels are designed in 2 pieces, including an inner rim and outer rim. These rims are assembled using clamping bolts. Clamping bolts determine the durability of military vehicle wheels because fracture of clamping bolts account for most wheel failures. For improving wheel durability, clamping bolt durability must be improved. In this study, wheel test conditions and bolt design were investigated. Existing test standards are not sufficient to conduct endurance tests. Supplementary conditions were investigated. Using these modified test conditions, the durability of wheels including clamping bolts was tested and verified. Results found the durability of wheels improved more than 168%. This study also proposes improvements in the design process of clamping bolts.

We studied on the watertightness improvement of cementitious material for durability enhancement of concrete. For improvement of watertightness of OPC and OPC with fly ash, we used various materials with watertightness properties to OPC and OPC with fly ash. The performance of watertightness improvement of cementitious materials closely related to formation of CSH by pozzolanic reaction and to reducing of size of contact angle in cement pore by using organic fatty acid. And volume of CSH formation at early hydration have an influence of watertightness improvement and reduction of long-term water absorption rate. In using of fly ash, improvement of workability by using the spherical fly ash caused to densify on the structures of cement material and CSH formation by pozzolanic reaction and cement using fly ash also caused watertightness improvement of cementitious materials. For improvement of concrete durability by watertightness, cementitious materials need using watertightness materials and at using fly ash, also it have to the effect of improvement of watertightness of cementitious materials by pozzolanic reaction.

Porous asphalt pavement is used widely in advanced countries to reduce traffic accidents and noise. On the other hand, it is not applied widely in Korea due to concerns about its durability. This study aims to find a statistical method to improve the durability of porous asphalt pavement. A Cantabro test was selected to test the durability. The Cantabro test was performed on an asphalt mixture made of a binder and aggregate. This test was repeated three times for each of the four groups to obtain the Cantabro loss rate. The average values of each of the four groups satisfied all the reference values. In addition, through an analysis of variance (ANOVA), it was possible to quantitatively classify test groups with differences in durability, thereby finding problems and improving the durability. Furthermore, the Pay Factor method can lead to voluntary improvements in quality, and the Pay factor can be calculated through statistical analysis of limited data. Through the Pay factor, it is possible to induce definite quality improvement of the contractor and continuously improve the durability of the porous asphalt mixture by evaluating the adequacy of the quality standard.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of several variables on the durability of wood pellets fabricated with torrefied larch (LAR) and tulip tree (TUT) chips. Microscopic observation by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer was also performed to identify the surface of the wood pellets visually. In addition, torrefied-LAR and TUT pellets were fabricated with the addition of moisture, lignin, starch and protein as binders, and durabilities of the pellets were analyzed statistically. Durabilities of torrefied-LAR and TUT pellets were lower than one of non-torrefied-LAR and TUT pellets. Durabilities of both pellets fabricated with the wood chips, which were torrefied with $230^{\circ}C$ and 30 min, were the highest among all torrefaction conditions used in this study. From the microscopic observations, lignin was distributed broadly on the surface of non-torrefied wood pellets, whereas congregated partially on the surface of torrefied wood pellets. Durability of LAR pellets increased with the addition of moisture, but that of TUT pellets was reduced. Addition of binders contributed to increase the durability of LAR and TUT pellets. As a binder, lignin and protein were more effective than starch for improving the durability. In conclusion, mild torrefaction treatment, such as $230^{\circ}C$ and 30 min, might be an optimal condition to minimize the durability reduction of the LAR and TUT pellets. In addition, when torrefied woody materials with high and low specific gravities are used as a raw material for the production of durable wood pellets, it might be required to adjust moisture content and torrefaction conditions of woody materials, respectively.

연속주조공정에서 용강의 통로, 산화방지 및 유체 흐름을 용이하게 하는 역할을 하는 다공성 노즐(porous nozzle)은 용강과의 직접적인 접촉으로 인한 화학 반응 및 용강의 침투현상을 방지하기 위해 불활성 가스를 주입하여 청정강을 제조하는데 이용된다. 공정 중 노즐 막힘으로 인한 배압상승과 열충격에 의한 크랙(crack) 발생이 문제되고 있으며 신뢰성 향상 연구가 요구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기공크기와 기공분포가 고온안정성 및 내열충격성에 미치는 영향을 알아보고, 내구성 시험 및 고장분석을 통하여 노즐의 신뢰성 향상 방안을 고찰 하였다. 기공을 제어한 시편을 제조하여 기공분포에 따른 고온안정성을 확인하기 위해 실제 사용 조건인 용강온도($1550^{\circ}C$)와 보다 높은 온도($1700^{\circ}C$)에서 각각 고온 시험을 수행하였다. 열충격을 스트레스 인자로 한 내구성 시험을 수행한 후 고장원인을 분석하였으며 열화정도를 확인하기 위해 열처리 온도에 따른 차압 및 굽힘 강도 변화를 비교하였다. 또한 결정상 분석을 통해 온도에 대한 상변화를 확인하였고, 시편의 표면 및 파단면의 미세구조 분석을 통해 크랙 발생여부를 확인하였다. 다공성 노즐의 기공분포가 균일 할수록 고온안정성 및 내열충격성이 향상됨을 확인하였고, 이를 통해 Porous Nozzle의 열화원인으로 판단되는 기공 크기 및 분포에 따른 크랙 발생에 대해 열응력 고찰을 수행하였다.

최근 들어 염해, 콘크리트의 탄산화, 동결융해 등의 열화요인 의하여 발생할 수 있는 콘크리트의 내구성에 대한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있는데, 이러한 열화요인은 독립적이 아닌 복합열화의 형태로 작용하게 되는데, 열화현상을 저감하는 한 방편으로 플라이애쉬와 같은 혼화재를 사용하디도 한다. 플라이애쉬는 유동성 증진을 통한 내구성의 향상과, 수화열 저감을 통한 균열감소 및 장기강도 증진 등의 효과가 있으며, 시멘트를 대체함으로써 경제적인 효과를 유발하는 장점도 가지고 있다. 그러나 플라이애쉬는 품질편차가 크고, 경우에 따라서 미연탄소분에 의한 AE제 흡착 등으로 인한 콘크리트의 내구성 및 강도를 저하시킬 수 있는 요소를 내포하고 있으므로 사용 시 주의가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 열화를 저감하고, 내구성을 갖는 고강도 콘크리트를 제조하기 위하여 다양한 배합비의 플라이애쉬 혼입 콘크리트를 실험한 후 그 결과를 분석·고찰함으로써 내구성 콘크리트의 제작 시 혼화재로서의 적용성 및 타당성을 검증하고자 하며, 플라이애쉬를 내구성 재료로 그 활용을 극대화하고, 다양한 플라이애쉬의 사용량과 물/결합재비(W/B)에 대하여 내구성이 높은 고강도 콘크리트 제조방법을 범용화하며, 그 품질을 평가하는 것을 목적으로 한다.

Even though the antifogging property of nanosilica coated glass surface is highly increased due to the hydrophilic hydroxyl groups on nanosilica surface, the durability of this property on outdoor glass was diminished rapidly after rain washing. In addition the topology of nanosilica coated glass surface plays very important roles to control an light transmittance or antireflection property. To improve these coating durability and characteristics a hydrophilic nanosilica coating on glass was prepared by coating with 1.5 wt% of nanosilica (Ludox) suspension in the presence of hydrolyzed tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS). The optimum hydrolysis condition of TEOS in acidic or basic aqueous solution was also examined by contact angle measurement. The final transparent hydrophilic coating layer coated with nanosilica-TEOS in acidic condition (pH=4) showed much improved durability of hydrophilic surface as well as higher visible light transmittance than original uncoated glass by 2 % point.

To improve ride quality and running stability of high speed train(HST), it is important that connection between coaches adopts the articulated bogies by using a gangway ring, unlike the conventional independent bogies assembled with car bodies. Although the gangway ring should be ensured absolute safety against passenger movement between coaches during train operation, there is still a lack of quantitative durability criteria of that. Therefore, in order to improve the passenger safety of HST, it is important to study the test requirements on durability evaluation for the ring. In this study, seven mixed loading cases were derived from the triaxial loading(vertical/lateral/longitudinal) modes. The safety factor of each component is at least 2.4 or more from the results of the finite element analysis. In addition, fatigue safety was evaluated through durability analysis from the viewpoint of strain-life design. Durability tests for the gangway ring carried out a total of 10 million cycles in 4 phases load conditions. After the durability test, the defect of each component was investigated using nondestructive testing techniques.
