Nowadays, antiwashout underwater concrete is widely used for constructing underwater concrete structures but they, especially placed in marine environment, can be easily attacked by chemical ions such as SO$\^$2-/$\_$4/ Cl$\^$-/ and Mg$\^$2＋/, so the quality and capability of concrete structures go down. In this paper, to solve and improve those matters, flyash and GGBFS(ground granulated blast furnace slag) were used as partial replacements for ordinary portland cement. As results of experiments for fundamental properties of antiwashout underwater concrete containing 10, 20, 30％ of flyash and 40, 50, 60 ％ of GGBFS respectively, setting time, air contents, suspended solids and pH value were satisfied with the "Standard Specification of Antiwashout Admixtures for Concrete" prescribed by KSCE, and also slump flow, efflux time and elevation of head were more improved than that of control concrete. From the compressive strength test, it was revealed that the antiwashout underwater concrete containing mineral admixtures(flyash and GGBFS) is more effective for long term compressive strength than control concrete. An attempt to know how durable when they are under chemical attack has also been done by immersing in chemical solutions that were x2 artificial seawater, 5 ％ sulphuric acid solution, 10％, sodium sulfate solution and 10％ calcium chloride solution. After immersion test for 91days, XRD analysis was carried out to investigate the reactants between cement hydrates and chemical ions and some crystalline such as gypsum ettringite and Fridel′s salt were confirmed.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of fly-ash on strength development and durability of latex-modified concrete (LMC) and ordinary portland cement concrete (OPC). Main experimental variables were latex contents (0%, 10%, 15%) and fly-ash content (0, 10%, 20%, 30%). Air content and slump tests were performed to check the basic properties of fresh concretes, and compressive strength, flexural strength, rapid chloride ion permeability and chemical resistance were measured to analyze the basic properties of hardened concretes. The test results showed that air contents of LMC with fly ash decreased as fly-ash contents increased from 0% to 30%. Compressive and flexural strength developments of LMC with fly ash were quite similar to those of LMC without fly ash. However, the long-term flexural strength development of LMC with fly ash after 90 days were bigger than that of LMC without fly ash. Chloride ion permeability and chemical resistance decreased rapidly as the content of fly ash increased. Thus, fly ash could be used at LMC in order to reduce water permeability.

현재 국내 정수시설은 정수공정별 감시제어-데이터수집시스템(SCADA: Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition)에 기반하여 감시제어 및 모니터링 위주로 운영·관리를 실시하고 있다. 또한, 주요 핵심 공정인 응집제 약품투입, 소독 및 여과 설비 공정의 운영방식에 있어서 선험적 운영지식에 의한 방식으로 운영되고 있기 때문에 지속적인 안정적 운영을 위해서는 표준적이고 체계적인 운영관리 수단이 필요하다. 국외에서는 다양한 운영 조건에 기반한 정수처리 효율을 예측할 수 있는 모의(simulation) 도구의 개발을 통해 기존 운영되고 있는 정수장의 효율을 예측하는 데 활용하고 있는 실정이다. 본 논문은 실시간 운영관리가 가능한 기반을 구축하여 정수처리의 효율을 예측할 수 있는 시뮬레이터 개발을 통해 정수처리 공정별 기본 및 조합의 공정 시뮬레이션 모의 모듈 기술을 개발하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 또한 개발된 기술의 실증 운영을 통해 검증된 모듈을 반영한 정수장 시뮬레이터 시스템을 개발을 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 정수장 시뮬레이터는 수질정보, 물질수지, 수두손실등의 운영현황 데이터를 수집하는 기능, 착수-혼화-응집-침전-여과-소독 등 개별 공정별 주요 운전변수의 모니터링 및 제어를 통한 운영관리 기능, 원수 수질변화에 신속한 대응을 위한 정수처리 공정제어 의사결정지원 기능, 그리고 온라인 관망해석을 포함한 정수처리 전(단위)공정 시뮬레이터 기능 및 공정별 운영인자 최적화 기능 등으로 구성되어 있다. 현재 운영 중인 정수장의 공정별 운전 상태를 평가·관리하여 정수공정 운영 안정화 체계를 확보하고, 정수장의 유량과 수질의 갑작스런 변화에 따른 모의를 통한 수질예측으로 실시간 정수장 최적운영관리가 가능하다. 또한 원수 성상에 따른 적정 공정운영 자동화로 운영비 절감 및 효율적 인력 활용으로 정수장 운영 효율성을 제고함으로써 지속적이고 안정적인 정수장 운영 체계를 확보할 수 있다.

Biofilm formed on stainless and copper in water treatment plant was investigated for sixteen weeks. Biofilm reactor was specially designed for this study. It was similar to that of a real distribution pipe. Raw water, coagulated, settled, filtered and treated water were used in this study. The average number of heterotrophic bacteria counts was $1.6{\times}10^4CFU/ml$, $5.8{\times}10^3CFU/ml$, $1.8{\times}10^3CFU/ml$, $1.3{\times}10^2CFU/ml$, 1 CFU/ml, respectively. Density of biofilm bacteria formed on stainless and copper pipes in raw, coagulated and settled water increased above $2.9{\times}10^3CFU/cm^2$ within second weeks while more biofilm bacteria counts were found on the stainless pipe than on the copper pipe. In case of filtered water (free residue chlorine 0.44 mg/L), there was no significant difference in the number of biofilm bacteria on both pipes and biofilm bacteria below $18CFU/cm^2$ were detected on both pipe materials after fifth weeks. Biofilm bacteria were not detected on both pipe materials in treated water (free residue chlorine 0.88 mg/L). According to the results of DGGE analysis, Sphingomonadacae was a dominant species of biofilm bacteria formed on the stainless pipe while the copper pipe had Bradyrhizobiaceae and Sphingomonadaceae as dominant bands. In case of filtered water, a few bands (similar to Propionibacterium sp., Sphingomonas sp., Escherichia sp., and etc.) that have 16S rRNA sequences were detected in biofilm bacteria formed on both pipes after fifth weeks. Stainless pipe had higher species richness and diversity than the copper pipe.
