The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of curing age and thickness of coating material on the bond strength of polymer cement slurry(PCS)-coated rebar that can replace epoxy-coated rebar. The test specimens were prepared with two types of cement, two types of polymer dispersion as St/BA and EVA, two polymer-cement ratios, two coating thicknesses and three curing ages, and tested for bond strength test to cement concrete. The flexural behavior of RC beam that is made by optimum conditions such as polymer-cement ratio of 80%, coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ and curing age of 7 days of PCS recommended from the bond strength test is also conducted. From the test results, The maximum bond strength of PCS-coated rebar at curing age of 7-day and coating thickness of $100{\mu}m$ was about 1.52 and 1.58 times respectively, the strength of plain and epoxy-coated rebar. The ultimate loads of RC beam using PCS-coated rebar were range of 81.1% to 102.3% of that of plain rebar, and 98.4% to 124.1% of that of epoxy-coated rebar. It is apparent that PCS-coated rebar with EVA, curing age at 7-day and $100{\mu}m$ can replace epoxy-coated rebar in construction field.

Anticorrosive paint is the most widely used in shipbuilding and the dry film thickness is very important in terms of productivity and assurance of anticorrosive performance. However, it is difficult to achieve the recommended target film thickness because the dry film thickness depends on labor's skill in practice and is affected by a number of parameters, such as spray pressure, paint flow rate, tip size, spray distance, SVR(Solid Volume Ratio), etc. Present paper derives an empirical equation through the correlation analysis of parameters selected by spray experiments of anti corrosive painting in order to predict the coated status. Comparing the calculated results with practical data, we show that the empirical equation can successfully expect DFT(Dry Film Thickness).

Recently, the use of lightweight panels in building structures has been increasing. Of the various lightweight panel types, styrofoam sandwich panels are inexpensive and are excellent in terms of their insulation capacity and their constructability. However, sandwich panels that include organic material are quite vulnerable to fire, and thus can numerous casualties in the event of a fire due to the lack of time to vacate and their emission of poisonous gas. On the other hand, lightweight foamed concrete is excellent, both in terms of its insulation ability and its fire resistance, due to its Inner pores. The properties of lightweight concrete is influenced by foaming agent type. Accordingly, this study investigates the insulation properties by foaming agent type, to evaluate the possibility of using light-weight foamed concrete instead of styrene foam. Our research found thatnon-heating zone temperature of lightweight foamed concrete using AP (Aluminum Powder) and FP (animal protein foaming agent) are lower than that of light-weight foamed concrete using AES (alkyl ether lactic acid ester). Lightweight foamed concrete using AES and FP satisfied fire performance requirements of two hours at a foam ratio 50, 100. Lightweight foamed concrete using AP satisfied fire performance requirements of two hours at AP ratio 0.1, 0.15. The insulation properties were better in closed pore foamed concrete by made AP, FP than with open pore foamed concrete made using AES.
