해안가에 건설되는 구조물 표면은 해풍에 의해 직접적인 영향을 받는다. 해풍에 섞여 날아오는 염분이 건축물 외부에 흡착하여 시간이 경과함에 따라 내부로 확산 이동하게 되어, 콘크리트 내부의 철근이 부식하게 된다. 따라서, 해안가 구조물의 비래염분에 대한 열화 예측을 보다 정확하게 조사하기 위해서는 실환경하에 작용하는 기상요인, 지형, 구조물의 형태 등 대상지역의 다양한 조건을 정밀하게 반영하여 정해야 할 필요가 있다. 풍향, 풍속, 온도, 습도등의 다양하게 변화하는 기상요인에서 각 요인에 따라 발생되는 비래염분량과의 상관성을 분석하기 위해서는 고정된 실험인자에 따른 지속적인 실험이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구는 비래염분 포집기 개발 및 인공비래염분 발생장치(이하, 인공장치) 개발과 장치 성능의 정확성 향상을 위한 기초 실험 실시에 목표를 하였고, 또한 개발된 비래염분 포집기를 실 환경에 설치하여 각 실험인자에 따른 실환경에서의 비래염분 포집량을 분석하고자 한다.

In order to compare the food consumption pattern of college girls on weekday and Sunday, the food intake of college girls in a district of Pusan city was analyzed through the factor analysis method. The principal results are as follows. 1. The amount of food intake on Sunday was generally larger than the average values of the food intake on weekday except for soybean & products, meats and beverage. 2. As for correlation coefficients among the intake of each food group, on weekday, positive correlation was noted among rice, potatoes, soybean & products and sea-weeds, fish & shells and fat & oil. And confectionery & sugar showed also a positive correlation to bread, while, on Sunday, vegetables, sea-weeds and meats showed a positive correlation to rice, and other cereals and eggs showed a positive correlation to bread & noodles, too. As for the relationship among rice and bread & noodles, a negative correlation was noted both on weekday and Sunday. 3. As for the factor analysis of the food intake on weekday through the correlation matrix, in the first factor, soybean & products, fat & oil, sea-weeds, rice and fish & shells showed comparatively large factor load, and in the second factor, meats, kimchi, vegetables, soybean & products, fruits and fish & shells showed large factor load. Here the first factor showed the Korean dietary life and the second factor showed subsidiary food (control nutrient) factor. In case of the food intake on Sunday, in the first factor, rice, meats, sea-weeds, soybean & products and vegetables showed large factor load, and in the second factor, fish & shells, vegetables, fat & oil, fruits and rice showed large factor load. Accordingly, the first factor and the second factor were considered to show Korean dietary pattern. 4. Nutrient intake on weekday and Sunday was substantially sufficient to RDA except for energy and iron.

Amines, ammonia or 3-methoxypropylamine (MPA), are used to maintain the optimized pH for the prevention of corrosion in the secondary side of Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs). They are differently dissociated as a function of temperature which is not same in each location of the water-steam cycle. pH at the operation temperature depends on temperature of fluid and equilibrium constants of water and amines. Thus, every amine provides the different pH in the entire secondary side so that pH is not only the sufficient parameter in corrosion control. The secondary parameter, i.e., buffer intensity, is the ability to maintain a stable pH when $H^+$ are added or removed due to the ingress of impurities or the reaction of corrosion. The buffer intensity is necessary to provide the selection criteria for the best pH control agent for secondary side and the basic understanding of the reason why the flow-accelerated corrosion(FAC) rate may demonstrate the bell-shape curve over temperature. The buffer intensities of ammonia and MPA were reviewed over the entire operation temperature of PWRs. The sufficient buffer intensity is provided for the inhibition of corrosion by ammonia in low temperature $(25{\sim}100^{\circ}C)$ and by DMA in high temperature $(150{\sim}250^{\circ}C)$. In terms of buffer intensity, i) the best pH control agent is an amine with $pK_a(T)$ range of pH(T)- $1{\leq}pK_a(T){\leq}pH(T)$ + 0.5 and ii) the amine solution should have sufficient buffer intensity, ${\beta}$ to inhibit corrosion, and iii) FAC rate may be maximum at the temperature, where ${\beta}_B/{\beta}$ ratio is lowest.

It is important to study how to manage dry storage casks of spent nuclear fuels (SNF), because wet storage spaces for SNF will shortly be at full capacity in the Republic of Korea. The US has operated a dry storage cask system for several decades, and has carried out significant studies into how to successfully manage dry storage cask for SNF. This type of expertise and experience is currently lacking in the Republic of Korea. The degradation of dry casks is an important issue that must be considered. In particular, chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CISCC) is known to lead to the release of radioisotopes from canisters. The U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the Electric Power Research Institute have undertaken research into the CISCC mechanism. In addition, Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) has extensively researched CISCC and how to manage it in dry storage canisters. In this review paper, the probabilistic model proposed by the SNL is analyzed and, based on this model, US-based CISCC research is reviewed in detail. This paper will inform the management of dry cask storage of SNF from light water reactors in austenite stainless steel canisters in the Republic of Korea.

This paper presents a practical and realistic Life-Cycle Cost (LCC) optimum design methodology of steel bridges considering time effect of bridge reliability under environmental stressors such as corrosion and heavy truck traffics. The LCC functions considered in the LCC optimization consist of initial cost, expected life-cycle maintenance cost and expected life-cycle rehabilitation costs including repair/replacement costs, loss of contents or fatality and injury losses, road user costs, and indirect socio-economic losses. For the assessment of the life-cycle rehabilitation costs, the annual probability of failure which depends upon the prior and updated load and resistance histories should be accounted for. For the purpose, Nowak live load model and a modified corrosion propagation model considering corrosion initiation, corrosion rate, and repainting effect are adopted in this study. The proposed methodology is applied to the LCC optimum design problem of an actual steel box girder bridge with 3 continuous spans (40 m+50 m+40 m=130 m), and various sensitivity analyses of types of steel, local corrosion environments, average daily traffic volume, and discount rates are performed to investigate the effects of various design parameters and conditions on the LCC-effectiveness. From the numerical investigation, it has been observed that local corrosion environments and the number of truck traffics significantly influence the LCC-effective optimum design of steel bridges, and thus realized that these conditions should be considered as crucial parameters for the optimum LCC-effective design.

우리나라는 하천 및 호수 등 지표수에 대한 수자원 의존도가 매우 높다. 지표수는 태양광에 노출되어 있고, 기온의 영향을 직접 받기 때문에 기후변화에 대해 매우 민감한 수체이다. 기후변화로 인한 이상 저온, 이상 고온, 홍수, 가뭄 등의 자연 현상은 하천, 호수의 물리화학적 및 생태학적 특성을 변화(교란)시키고 있다. 이러한 기상현상에 변동되는 수질특성을 고려하여 기상청 확률기상예보를 구축된 인공신경망 예측모형의 입력인자로 적용하여 수질예보시스템을 개발하고자 하였다. 모형구축은 실제 일어난 기상관측자료와 요인분석을 통해 분류한 수질인자를 반영하여 단위유역별 수질예측을 위한 ANN학습을 실시하였다. 각 단위유역마다 기상요인의 공간적 세밀화 적용을 위해 각각 남강A, 남강B는 산청기상대, 남강C, 남강D는 진주기상대, 남강E는 의령기상대 자료를 이용하였으며, 수질항목은 DO, BOD, COD, TOC, T-P, SS 총 6개로 단위유역 5개에서 총 30개 예측모형 구축을 위한 자료를 수집하였다. 학습된 인공신경망 예측모형에 기상청 확률예보 값을 입력인자로 사용하여 모형평가를 실시하였다. 5개 단위유역 중 상대적으로 유역관리의 시급성을 고려하여 남강댐 하류 단위유역인 남강D, 남강E 인공신경망 모형의 입력자료로 적용하여 평가하였다.

A concrete silo plays an important role in subsurface low- and intermediate-level waste facilities (LILW) by limiting the release of radionuclides from the silo geosphere. However, due to several physical and chemical processes the performance of the concrete structure decreases over time and consequently the concrete loses its effectiveness as a barrier against groundwater inflow and the release of radionuclides. Although a number of processes are responsible for degradation of the silo concrete, it is determined that the main cause is corrosion of the reinforcing steel. Therefore, the time it takes for the silo concrete to fail is calculated based on two factors: the initiation time of corrosion, defined as the time it takes for chloride ions to penetrate through the concrete cover, and the propagation time of corrosion. This paper aims to estimate the time taken for concrete to fail in a LILW disposal facility. Based on the United States Department of Energy (DOE) approach, which indicates that concrete fails completely once 50% of the volume of the reinforcing steel corrodes, the corrosion propagation time is calculated to be 640 years, which is the time it takes for corrosion to penetrate 0.640 cm into the reinforcing steel. In addition to the corrosion propagation time, a diffusion equation is used to calculate the initiation time of corrosion, yielding a time of 1284 years, which post-dates the closure time of the LILW disposal facility if we also consider the 640 years of corrosion propagation. The electrochemical conditions of the passive rebar surface were modified using an acceleration method. This is a useful approach because it can reduce the test time significantly by accelerating the transport of chlorides. Using instrumental analysis, the physicochemical properties of corrosion products were determined, thereby confirming that corrosion occurred, although we did not observe significant cracks in, or expansion of, the concrete. These results are consistent with those of Smartet al., 2006 who reported that corrosion products are easily compressed, meaning that cracks cannot be discerned by eye. Therefore, it is worth noting that rebar corrosion does not strongly influence the hydraulic conductivity of the concrete.

Excavated archaeological iron objects are prevented from being corroded going through desalination which slow down being corroded. However archaeological iron objects are liable to be corroded due to the high ionization tendency even though they are stored in environment restricted from corrosion factors. Iron objects could be deteriorated more than just excavated. Therefore this study investigated about the characteristic of re-corrosion and the effect on objects. In study, archaeological iron nails in storage for 4 years after conservation treatments were tested. Optical microscopy and X-ray photography for appearance, XRD, SEM-EDS, Raman spectroscopy for chemical composition, IC for chloride ions concentration inside iron nails were used. As results, iron nails carried out conservation treatments measured a high concentration of chloride ions after the long storage period. The form of objects were not in good condition such as broken or destroyed when the high chloride ions concentration was detected. In addition, the yellow and red powdery corrosion product were detected on the boundary between corrosion products and substrates and they were identified as akaganeite which is symptom of active corrosion.

비닐하우스의 골조를 구성하는 파이프는 부식을 방지할 목적으로 아연도강관을 사용한다. 그러나 시간이 지남에 따라 아연도금량 감소와 여러 외부 환경인자 등에 의하여 부식이나 침식이 진행되어, 외관상 녹이 생기고 강도와 연신율 등이 감소하게 된다. 이는 비닐하우스 전체의 내구성을 저하시키는 요인으로 작용하게 되는데, 이를 평가하기 위한 방법이나 기준은 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농업시설의 내구성을 평가하기 위한 방법의 하나로 각기 다른 경과년수를 갖는 비닐하우스로부터 채취한 서까래 파이프의 인장 시험을 실시하였다. 인장 시험에 사용된 서까래 파이프는 (구)시설원예시험장에 설치되어 있는 비닐하우스에서 경과년별로 채취하였으며, 지중매설부와 지상노출부로 구분하여 시편을 제작하였다. 인장 실험 결과 서까래 파이프의 경과년이 오래될수록 시편의 인장 강도는 작아지는 경향을 보이고 있으나, 파단연신율은 경과년과 연관성을 찾아보기 어려운 것으로 나타났다. 그리고 동일한 경과년을 갖는 서까래 파이프 시편에서 지중매설부의 인장 강도와 파단연신율이 지상노출부에 비해 대체로 작게 측정되었으며, 경과년이 증가할수록 인장 강도의 감소폭이 커지는 경향을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

The pH & alkalinity adjustment method by lime and carbon dioxide($CO_2$) for corrosion control in water distribution system was investigated to determine the optimum operational condition in lime adding process in water treatment plant(WTP). The mixing time at dissolution tank and sedimentation time at saturator for maintaining optimal turbidity condition of lime supernatant were 60~75 minutes and 75~95 minutes, respectively. There was no difference according to $CO_2$ adding methods such as $CO_2$ saturated water or $CO_2$ gas. But, $CO_2$ saturated water could be convenience at WTP in terms of pH control and quantitative dosing. To minimize generation of calcium carbonate products, the short time interval between adding of lime and $CO_2$ is most important. The lime should be added below 32 mg/l for preventing pH rising and generation of calcium carbonate products at the heating condition.
