In this paper, the effects of the bottom ash aggregate sizes and compaction levels on the thermal conductivity of porous concrete were investigated. In this experimental study, bottom ash was used as aggregates after identifying the aggregate characteristics. SA mixtures included hybrid aggregates, and DA contained only one particle size. The water-binder ratio was fixed at 0.30, and the compaction levels were applied to the concrete specimens at 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 MPa. Unit weight, total void ratio, and thermal conductivity were measured and analyzed. As the compaction level increased, the unit weight and thermal conductivity increased in the SA mixtures, but the total void ratio decreased. In addition, the thermal conductivity of the specimens under oven-dried condition were lower than that of the specimens under air-dried condition. The correlation between the unit weight, total porosity, and thermal conductivity of porous concrete was analyzed. The thermal conductivity-unit weight correlation was proportional, while the thermal conductivity-total void ratio correlation was inversely proportional.

In this paper, the effect of compression levels on the strengths of porous concrete using bottom ash aggregates was analyzed. Coal bottom ash (CBA) was used as aggregate in porous concrete in this study. The aggregate size types used in the CBA concrete mixtures were catagorized into two different ones. One included only a single aggregate particle size and the other included hybrid aggregate particles mixed at a ratio of 8:2 volume proportion. The water-binder ratio was fixed at 0.30, and the compression levels were applied at 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 MPa valu es to fabricate a porou s concrete specimen. The total porosity, compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural tensile strengths were tested and analyzed. When the compression level increased, the total porosity decreased, meanwhile the compressive, split tensile, and flexural tensile strengths increased. The total porosity of concrete using hybrid aggregate was lower and the strength was larger than those of concrete using single-type aggregate. Finally, the correlation between the total porosity, compressive, split tensile, and flexural tensile strengths of porous concrete were presented. The total porosity and strength characteristics showed an inversely proportional correlation.

Bird screen meshes are installed at the air inlet and outlet ducts of spent fuel storage casks to inhibit the intrusion of debris from the external environment. The presence of these screens introduces an additional resistance to air flow through the ducts. In this study, a porous media model was developed to simplify the bird screen meshes. CFD analyses were used to derive and verify the flow resistance factors for the porous media model. Thermal analyses were carried out for concrete storage cask using the porous media model. Thermal tests were performed for concrete casks with bird screen meshes. The measured temperatures were compared with the analysis results for the porous model. The analysis results agreed well with the test results. The analysis temperatures were slightly higher than the test temperatures. Therefore, the reliability and conservatism of the analysis results for the porous model have been verified.

As our interests in eco-friendly materials have been significantly increased, the utilization of porous zeolite concrete that has structural functionality and permeability has been increased. In this paper, the mixture of porous concrete and zeolite, which can be used as multirole boulders, was investigated for the suitability of an environment-friendly product by evaluating of the water purification ability. The contamination removal rates of BOD, TOC, T-N, and T-P in stagnant water tank were 70.6, 67.0, 57.7, and 50.6%, respectively. Also for the non-point source pollution with the inflow and the outflow, the removal rates of Zn, Pb, BOD, and COD were 99.9, 90.0, 69.2, and 33.5%, respectively. The performance of the heavy metal contamination removal for the porous zeolite showed better than that of stagnant system. Therefore, it is expected that the installation of the porous zeolite concrete can play a role as an eco-friendly products by its high contamination removal.

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.

최근 하천에서는 다양한 하천복원기술이 개발·적용되고 있으나, 하천관리의 패러다임 변화로 하천에서의 환경복원이 커다란 이슈가 되고 있다. 과거 치수 위주로 추진되어온 결과, 하천에서는 콘크리트 활용 기술이 과다하게 유입됨으로 인하여 치수에는 안전하나 하천 경관 훼손 및 하천생태계에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 특히 콘크리트를 활용한 기술은 높은 안정성을 바탕으로 세굴방지에 좋은 장점을 지니고 있으나, 하천에 적용 시 하천생물에 악영향을 미치는 강알카리(pH 12정도)를 지속적(10년)으로 용출하여 하천생태계에 악영향을 미치고 있다. 또한 하천에 대한 심미성에 영향을 미치게 되어 하천경관에 나쁜 영향을 미치고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 독성물질이 포함된 콘크리트 대신 Biopolymer 접착소재와 같은 무독성 소재를 활용하여 다층다공성 하상보호공을 개발하였으며, 과학적인 검증을 통하여 안정성을 확인하였다. 이를 현장에 적용성을 확인하기 위하여 김해시 대청천 대청1보에 시범사업을 하였으며, 개발된 기술에 대한 안전성 및 생태성을 검증을 위하여 2015년부터 2018년까지 물리적/화학적/생물학적 모니터링을 수행하였다.

We experimented the physical property of the porous concrete by changing the water cement ratio, when the aggregate ratios are 1:5 and 1:7 separately. And then we received the results as follows. The bigger, the coarse grading of the porous concrete is, the more sensitive to the water cement ratio, the porous concrete becomes. And if we think over its compressive strength, the coarse aggregate which has 5-15mm width is most appropriate. So we concluded that when its compressive strength, permeability coefficient and its unit weight are $50kg/cm^{2}3cm/sec$ and $1900kg/m^{3}$ respectively, the water cement ratio which has 35-37% width is most appropriate, too. And its compressive strength and unit weight show that they are about a quarter and three quarters respectively about the conventional concrete.

Diatomite, bentonite and zeolite were used as porous materials for fabricating hygroscopic panels. Moisture adsorption and desorption of porous materials were investigated and hydrothermal method was applied to fabricate panels. Cheolwon diatomite and Pohang zeolite showed excellent characteristics of moisture adsorption and desorption. These characteristics were caused by higher surface area and pore volume of porous materials. Moisture adsorption contents were influenced by surface area and pore volume of panels, and surface area more effected on moisture adsorption. Moisture adsorption content of panel with 10% Pohang zeolite was 180g/m$^2$and that of 10% Cheolwon diatomite was 170g/m$^2$. Moisture desorption content of panel with 10% Pohang zeolite was 105g/m$^2$. Moisture adsorption contents of panel with porous materials were higher than that of panel without porous materials.
