Hardened concrete contains pores of varying types and sizes, and therefore the transport of air through concrete can be considered. The rate of permeability will not only depends on the continuity of pores, but also on the moisture contents in concrete and finishing material on concrete. Also it knows that the durability of reinforced concrete structure is concerned with air permeability which effects on the carbonation occurred by invasion of CO2 gas and the corrosion of steel bar occurred by O$_2$. In this paper, the effects of curing conditions and finishing materials on carbonation and air permeability are investigated according to the accelerated carbonation test. As results, carbonation velocity and air permeability are effected by curing conditions and finishing materials, and air permeability coefficient is effected by moisture content. Also the relationship between carbonation velocity coefficients and air permeability coefficients has been quite well established.

염(Salts)은 일반적으로 가장 강력한 풍화요인 물질 중 하나이다. 염의 결정화(crystallization) 및 수화(hydration)작용은 석재의 화학적 풍화 뿐만이 아니라 물리적 풍화를 가속화 시킨다. 감은사지 석탑은 오랜 세월 대기 중에 노출되어 대기환경오염으로 인한 화학적 풍화 뿐만이 아니라 지리적으로 바다에 인접해 있어 바다에서 기원한 염화나트륨(NaCl)의 영향으로 다른 석조물에 비해 심한 물리적 풍화현상을 보이고 있다. 편광 현미경 및 SEM, XRD, XRF를 이용하여 석탑의 구성석재 및 염(salts)에 대한분석을 실시하였으며, 용출실험을 통해 얻은 용액에 대해서는 IC와 ICP-AES를 이용하여 분석하였고, 염류와 석재의 반응산물로 만들어진 염에 대해서는 정방위시료와 부정방위시료를 제작하여 분석하였다. 감은사지 석탑을 이루는 암석은 결정응회암으로 주 구성 광물은 사장석 및 정장석이며 소량의 석영 및 흑운모 등이 함유되어 있고 소량의 유리질 석기로 구성되어 있다. 석재의 표면에는 주 구성 광물들의 화학적 풍화로 인해서 생성된 2차 광물로 팽창성 점토광물인 스멕타이트가 존재하며, 대기오염물질과의 결합에 의해 생성된 대표적인 황산염인 석고$(gypsum,\;CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O)$, 소금(halite, NaCl), 해양기원 염류인 소금성분과 대기오염물질이 만들어낸 테나다이트$(thenardite,\;Na_2SO_4)$가 존재한다. 이들 염류는 일차적으로 암석의 표면에 백화현상을 초래하기도 하고, 대기 중의 오염물질과 결합하여 일부는 흑화현상을 보이기도 한다. 또한 암석 내 수분이 증가할 경우 이들 염들이 암석의 공극이나 열극을 따라 내부로 이동하여 subflorescence를 발생시켜 박락 및 박탈의 원인이 되었으며, 온도와 수분의 변화에 따른 이들 염(salts)의 수화 및 결정 작용 그리고 새로운 염(salts)의 침전작용을 반복하면서 석재 내부와 외부의 암석 및 결정에 균열과 미세열극 등이 생성되어 석재 자체의 구조적 안정성에 영향을 주고 있다. 따라서 감은사지 석탑은 지리적 환경 차이로 인해 일반적인 환경의 석조물들과는 다른 형태의 풍화양상을 보이고 있어서 풍화양상 및 풍화형태에 대한 정확한 연구와 이해를 바탕으로 보존대책이 마련되어야 한다.

In this study, to enhance the quality of concrete surface by removing the surplus water, permeable liner attached the euroform was applied for manufacturing concrete specimens. Various kinds of concrete mixtures with different water to binder ratios were applied and the strength properties of the hardened concrete surfaces were evaluated at different heights. Experimental results showed that the rebound values by schmidt hammer test and the compressive strengths on the surfaces of concrete specimens were increased as proportion to the amount of mixture water which is dependent on the water to binder ratio of each concrete mixture, and more enhancements were observed on the middle and lower specimen surfaces than the upper region. SEM analysis also showed that much denser hydrate structures were observed on the specimen surfaces by the application of the permeable liner while similar hydrate formations were occurred regardless of surface treatment conditions. From the MIP test results of the concrete surfaces, it was observed that, by the application of permeable liner, the pore volume below $0.01{\mu}m$ was decreased with a maximum of 50% resulting in the densification of pore structures.

전기화학법 중 음극환원법을 이용하여 0.005M TiCI4수용액으로부터 수화물 형태의 TiO2박막을 제조하였다. TiCI4수용액에 첨가제로 에탄올을 50vol% 첨가하여 균일한 박막을 얻을 수가 있었으며, 전류밀도와 시간에 따라서 박막의 두께와 미세구조가 변화하였다. 성장속도가 큰 조건에서 얻은 박막은 균질성의 감소로 인하여 건조과정이나 열처리 중 다량의 균열이 발생하였다. 일정한 전류밀도ㅇ에서 반응시간의 증가에 따라 박막의 두께가 직선적으로 증가하였으며, 10mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 전류밀도에서 3분 동안 반응시켜 약 0.7$\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 우수한 TiO2박막을 얻을수 있었다. 이러한 박막은 80$0^{\circ}C$에서 한 시간 열처리 한 결과, rutile 단일상으로 결정화되었다.

Control of the temperature difference across a section is an effective strategy to minimize the hydration-heat-induced cracks for the structures where internal restraint is dominant. The domestic code, however, overestimates probability of the crack occurrence judging from the foreign codes and construction experiences of real structures. Therefore, the background of the equation presented in the domestic code was investigated step by step to examine validity of the equation, and, as a result, it was found that the equation is established on a basis of simple elastic model where the change of elastic modulus in an early age is not considered. An advanced assessment strategy was proposed taking into account the hypoelastic model which corresponds to an incremental constitutive equation. The presented procedure resulted in an increased crack index, i.e. decreased crack risk, the value of which depends on various conditions of the mix and structures. Also, a prediction equation of the temperature difference was proposed which can readily consider the effect of the curing condition and ambient temperature in a hand calculation. For further study, the assessment equation may be more classified to strictly consider the characteristics of the mix and structures if the analytical and experimental data are accumulated.

In this research, considering the practical conditions at field, thermal cracking reducing method was suggested based on the comparative analysis between predicted value and actual value obtained from the actual structure member with optimum mix design. The optimum mix design was deduced from the various mix designs with various proportions of cementitious binder for upper and lower placement lifts of mat-foundation mass concrete. Therefore, before field applications, the mix designs were obtained from the theoretical analysis obtained by MIDAS GEN for upper lift was OPC to FA of 85 to 15, and for lower lift was OPC to FA to BS of 50 : 20 : 30. Based on this mix design, the actual concrete for field was determined and all concrete properties were reached within the predicted range. Especially, the temperature properties of mass concrete at core was approximately $39^{\circ}C$ of temperature difference for low-heat mix design, while approximately $54^{\circ}C$ was shown for normal mix design currently used. Additionally, in the case of cracking index, the low heat mix design showed about 1.4 of relatively high value while the normal mix design showed 1.0. Therefore, it can be stated that applying low heat mix design and different heating technique between upper and lower placement lifts for mass concrete are efficient to control the thermal cracking.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to acid and sulfate environments such as sewer, sewage and wastewater, soil, groundwater, and seawater etc. show significant decrease in their durability due to chemical attack. Such deleterious acid and sulfate attacks lead to expansion and cracking in concrete, and thus, eventually result in damage to concrete matrix by forming expansive hydration products due to the reaction between portland cement hydration products and acid and sulfate ions. Objectives of this experimental research are to investigate the effect of mineral admixtures on the resistance to acid and sulfate attack in concrete and to suggest high-resistance concrete mix against acid and sulfate attack. For this purpose, concretes specimens with three types of cement (ordinary portland cement (OPC), binary blended cement (BBC), and ternary blended cement (TBC) composed of different types and proportions of admixtures) were prepared at water-biner ratios of 32% and 43%. The concrete specimens were immersed in fresh water, 5% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium sulfate, and 10% magnesium sulfate solutions for 28, 56, 91, 182, and 365 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to acid and sulfate for concrete specimens, visual appearance changes were observed and compressive strength ratios and mass change ratios were measured. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate solutions of the concretes containing mineral admixtures were much better than that of OPC concrete, but in the case of magnesium sulfate solution the concretes containing mineral admixtures was less resistant than OPC concrete due to formation of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) which is non-cementitious.

To develop an effective biopesticide to control pepper anthracnose disease, an isolate which showed strong inhibitory effect on the mycelial growth and conidial germination of Colletotrichum acutatum was selected among the antagonistic bacterial isolates collected from pepper grown soil. The bacterial isolate was identified as Bacillus sp. KBC1004 using 16S rRNA sequence analysis. The liquid culture of KBC1004 was freeze-dried and formulated as a wettable powder(WP). The wettable powder form of KBC1004 required at least 24 hours to activate and to inhibit the conidial germination of C. acutatum. In vitro bioassay using the detached green pepper fruits, biocontrol activity of the WP was not recognizable in simultaneous inoculation, but significant disease suppression was observed pre-treatment (24 hr) of the WP before pathogen inoculation. In field experiment, 4 times foliar applications of the 1/500 diluted wettable powder from the end of June showed great control efficacy similar to that of the chemical fungicide application. These results suggest that the formulated WP product could be an alternative mean to control of pepper anthracnose disease in environmentally friendly farming practices.

Various kinds of amorphous silicates were used as raw materials to synthesize building materials based on calcium silicate hydrates. Relationships between the reactivities of silicates and castabilities of the building materials were investigated. In addition, effects of the reactivities of silicates on the mechanical properties of casted specimens were studied by analyzing microstructures and hydrates produced. As the reactivity of silicate increase, the press castability increases and the crystal size of hydrate and pore size also increase. For the mechanical properties, the flexural strength increases with decreasing crystal size and densifing microstructure. The compressive strength is greatly dependent on the den-sification of microstructure rather than crystal size of hydrate. Based on the results, diatomous ma-terials are desirable due to high reactivity and formation of densified microstructure. Slag and fly ash may be partially used as raw materials with amorphous silicates to manufacture building materials based on calcium silicate hydrates.

원자로 냉각계통의 압력경계를 구성하고 있는 재료들의 부식은 재료 표면에 형성되는 산화막, 금속재료의 구성성분이 용해되어 생성된 가용성 화학종 및 산화물 입자 형태의 부식생성물들을 발생시킨다. 금속합금의 부식에 의한 가용성 화학종 및 입자들의 방출은 원자로 냉각계통에서 노심과 증기발생기를 순환하면서 연료피복관 위에 침전되어 여러 가지 문제를 야기한다. 크러드는 구조재료의 부식에 기인하여 발생한 부식생성물들이 냉각수에 부유하여 떠다니거나 피복관 표면에 침적하여 형성되며 주로 니켈과 철 산화물로 구성되어 있다. 원자로 냉각계통에서 크러드를 최소화하기 위하여 수화학 조건들을 제어하지만 장주기 고연소도 노심에서 AOA 현상을 일으키는 주된 원인이 되고 있다. 피복관 위에 침적되는 크러드는 붕소의 잠복위치를 제공할 뿐만 아니라 냉각수의 압력강하를 증가시키고 피복관의 부식 및 파손 원인을 제공하며 방사선 준위가 증가하도록 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 반응속도론적 관점에서 원자로 정지시의 용출 크러드 특성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다.
