A study for the evaluation of selected filter media that need further characterization particularily in the context of alpha measurements of radon progeny has been carried out by investigating physical characteristics and using the alpha spectroscopy. Physical characteristics was investigated by electrostatic charging and mechanical strength of filters, and then pressure drop before and after sampling was tested. Alpha spectroscopy was used to analyze the energy spectra from the deposition of radon progeny into filters. The results of the assessment showed that the newer filter types do not have a great advantage over the 'old standard' Millipore type AA. But Metricel DM-800 is recommended for those situations where electrostatic charging is a problem. Also this method will be used more effective for the evaluation of new developing filters in future.

전자파 문제는 넓은 의미로 산란(scattering)문제와 역산란(inverse scattering)문제로 나눌 수 있다. 먼저 산란 문제는 에너지 또는 정보가 실린 전자파를 한 지점에서 다른 지점으로 보낼 때 통과하는 경로상의 매질 분포에 따라 왜곡 또는 변형되는 정도를 알아내는 것으로 반사(reflection), 굴절(refraction), 회절(diffraction)등 의 현상을 수반한다. 이 때 전자파를 왜곡시키는 물체를 산란체라고 부르며, 이러한 산란체로서는 전송선, 도파관, 광섬유 등과 같은 도파구조(guided wave structure)자체일 수 있으며 그들 내부에 고의로 부착된 첨가물일 수도 있다. 또한 공기나 지하와 같은 개방 구조 내의 물체나 비균일 매질 분포도 산란체가 될 수 있다. 이와는 반대로 역산란 문제는 알고 있는 전자파를 미지의 산란체에 가한 후, 여기서 산란된 전자파를 측정하여 얻은 자료로 부터 역으로 산란체의 위치, 크기, 모양, 매질 특성 등을 알아내는 것이다. 이러한 역산란 문제는지하 탐사(geophysical probing), 원격탐사(remote sensing), 레이다 영상(radar imaging), 의료진단(medical diagnosis), 비파괴 검사(nondestructive testing)등과 같은 많은 응용분야에 걸쳐 있다. 본 원고에서는 전자파 산란 및 역산란 문제에 대한 기존의 다양한 해석기법들을 체계적으로 분류하고, 이들의 적용범위와 한계에 대해 간략히 소개하기로 한다.

This study was performed to improve water quality of stream by applying hydraulic structures (weir and river bed material) made of porous concrete. The physical and chemical characteristics of porous concrete were measured to estimate application possibility of it in hydraulic structures and it was considered as a proper material for the hydraulic structures. In the results of comparison for the component of matters attached on the hydraulic structures made of porous and ordinary concrete, DW (dry weight) amount attached on porous concrete was 1.6 times higher than that on ordinary concrete under the condition of the same flow rate but influence by flow rate (difference of 10 times) was not shown. Therefore, we could understand that the material of media was more important in DW amount than flow rate. The rate of AFDM (ash free dry mass) to DW also was more at porous concrete than at ordinary concrete. Especially, the high rates of nitrogen and phosphorous in matters attached on porous concrete verify that they were removed by assimilation, adsorption and metabolism of periphyton. The removal percentage of SS, BOD, COD, T-N and T-P by hydraulic structures applying porous concrete compared with ordinary concrete was increased by 34.6%, 36.9%, 33.9%, 18.3% and 21.6%, respectively. Therefore, applying porous concrete to hydraulic structure is expected to contribute to improvement of stream water quality.

This study investigated the effect of surfactants (nonionic surfactant (Tween 20), biosurfactant) on enhancing transport of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633) in geological materials. Column experiments were performed under various surfactant conditions with columns packed with quartz sand (particle size distribution: 0.5~2.0 mm, mean diameter: 1.0 mm). Bacterial mass recovery, sticking efficiency, and other parameters were quantified from breakthrough curves. Results indicate that bacterial attachment to sand surfaces increased considerably in the presence of mineral salt medium (MSM), especially at the inlet, which was due to the increase of ionic strength by MSM. It was observed that bacterial transport in sand columns was enhanced in the presence of surfactant. Results also show that simultaneous injection of both surfactant and MSM or pre-injection of surfactant was more effective in bacterial transport enhancement than after-injection of surfactant. This study suggests that transport of bacteria in geological materials could be influenced by surfactants and their injection methods.

When microorganism is injected into porous medium such as soils along with appropriate substrate and nutrients, biomass retained in the soil pore. Soil pore size and shape are varied from the initial condition as a result of biofilm formation, which make hydraulic conductivity reduced. In this research, hydraulic conductivity reduction was measured after microorganism are inoculated and cultured with synthetic substrates and nutrients. Biomass-soil mixture was evaluated its applicability to the field condition as an alternative liner material in landfill by measuring hydraulic conductivity change after repetitive freeze-thaw cycles. Resistance of biofilm to chemical solution and degree of biodegradation were measured through column test.

When microorganism is injected into porous medium such as soils, biomass is retained in the pore. Soil pore size and shape are varied from the initial condition as a result of biofilm formation which makes hydraulic conductivity reduced and friction rate between soil aggregates increased. In this research, hydraulic conductivity reduction was measured after microorganism are inoculated and cultured with synthetic substrate and nutrient. In addition, this research evaluated the applicability of biomass-soil mixture to the field condition as an alternative cover material in landfill by measuring hydraulic conductivity change after repetitive freeze-thaw cycles. Hydraulic conductivity of silty soil decreased by approximately 1/50 after biomass inoculation and cultivation. Biofilm attached on soil aggregates is resistant to acidic or basic condition. After repetitive freeze-thaw cycles, however, hydraulic conductivity increase implies that biomass clogging can be impaired.

A new ultrasonic test method is proposed to obtain elastic constants of unidirectional composite materials nondestructively. In the proposed test method, only longitudinal transducers are used to measure wave velocities by through-transmission method. An aluminum wedge and a flat aluminum rectangular block are placed on each side of the test specimen. Oblique incident longitudinal wave is transmitted from a wedge to the specimen and the mode conversions are occurred sequentially at two interfaces between the specimen and aluminium. Measuring wave velocities converted to longitudinal waves in the rectangular block give all information to determine elastic constants of the composites. In order to determine shear stiffness coefficients, transverse wave velocity is measured indirectly from received longitudinal wave. Effects of anisotropy on waves are also considered in this study.

하천에서 취수원을 개발하는데 있어 지층의 구성으로 물리, 화학적 여과, 흡착 등을 통해 자연 정화되는 간접 취수 방식이 활발히 도입되고 있다. 양질의 취수원을 공급할 수 있는 간접 취수 방식은 수량 확보 측면에서의 불확실성과 유지관리상의 어려움 때문에 많은 시행착오가 발생된다. 이와 같은 단점을 개선하기 위해 하상을 개착하여 불균질한 대수층을 치환하고 스크린을 통해 간접 취수원을 개발하는 하상여과 방식이 도입되고 있다. 대수층을 치환하여 여재를 구성함에 있어 오염물질 및 탁도의 저감 효율을 극대화하기 위해 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 개착식 하상여과에서 치환하는 여재의 구성에 따른 탁도의 저감 효율을 분석하기 위해 축소 모형실험으로 구성하였다. 각각의 여재의 구성에 대해서는 상수도 시설기준을 통해 축소된 입경의 매질로 구성하였다. 실험실 규모의 모형 수조($1500mm{\times}500mm{\times}1700mm$)를 구성하고 하부에는 내경 80mm이고 길이 1300mm인 기능성 스크린이 부착된 취수관을 설치하였다. 모형 수조에서 여재의 두께는 총 1000mm로 구성하였고, 각각의 층에 대해서는 250mm로 하여 4개의 층을 구성할 수 있도록 하였다. 치환하는 여재의 매질에는 자갈, 왕사, 중사, 화산석을 사용하였고, 각각의 입경은 5-10mm, 2-5mm, 1-2mm, 2-5mm이고, 탁도를 유발하는 물질로는 입경이 $20{\mu}m$인 황토를 사용하였다. 단일매질 구성을 통해 각각의 여재 종류에 따른 탁도 저감 효과에 대해서 분석하였고, 세 가지의 혼합매질 구성을 통해 치환층 여재의 배치에 따른 탁도 저감 효과를 분석하였고, 각각의 구성은 중사-왕사-자갈-화산석, 화산석-중사-왕사-자갈, 중사-왕사-화산석-자갈로 하였다. 주입수는 30-50NTU를 유지하였으며 유출수의 탁도를 통해 저감 효율을 분석하였다. 분석된 결과를 통해 개착식 하상여과 방식의 여재 구성에 대해서 탁도 저감에 효율을 극대화할 수 있을 것으로 보여진다.
