This study is to investigate experimentally the effect of refining of fly ash (FA) on the engineering properties of the cement mortar. Five different FAs are used including raw fly ash, refined fly ash, reject ash and their two different combinations. The cement mortars are fabricated with 1:1(binder to fine aggregate), 1 : 3 and 1 : 5 respectively, which are replaced 30% of FA by cement. Test results, indicated that, the flow of Ra showed lower flowability than Rf at all mixing ratios. Also in the case of Rj, it was expected to show low fluidity, but it showed flowability equal to or higher than Rf. Air contents are all formulations except Rf and Rj did not satisfy the target range. Using Ra, the refining process shows an air amount about 41% lower than Rf, in the case of Rj, it showed about 19% higher air content than Rf due to porous foreign matters inside the mortar. Compressive strength was in the early days 3 and 7, the strength was lower than that of Plain's OPC, after 28 days Rf exerts higher strength than other FAs, it was confirmed that higher strength than OPC can be secured at a mixing ratio of 1: 1 and 1: 3. For frost resistance, the use of unrefined FA resulted in decrease of frost resistance sharply due to loss of air content by the use of unrefined FA. Therefore, it is considered that the use of high quality FA through refining process will contribute positively to the economical formulation of concrete and the stability of the structure.

This paper considers two aspects of the wooden chamber tombs with stone mound that were constructed in Wolseong North Burial Ground, in Gyeongju: tomb form and the group tomb complex. The basic unit of a wooden chamber tomb with stone mound consisted of a single round mound, covered with an additional earthen layer and surrounded by a circle of protective stones, within which a single wooden chamber was located. The form of a wooden chamber tomb with stone mound could therefore 1) be round, consisting of a single tomb unit, 2) consist of two or more attached tomb units, 3) or consist of multiple attached chambers in a single mound. The single tomb contained the burial of a single individual, and the attached tomb contained two or more individuals who were blood relations or connected by marriage. Multiple attached chambers tombs usually consisted of wooden chamber burials of the lowest rank, and have only been identified in the royal burial area of Wolseong North Burial Ground. At the Jjoksaem Area of Wolseong North Burial Ground, which is currently, under investigation, tombs have been found in small clusters along the slightly raised ground. This is likely the result of small groups of kin relations, upon selecting points along the slightly raised ground as their burial area, having constructed midsized and large single tombs and attached tombs along the axis of the slightly raised ground, which were then surrounded by smaller 'satellite' tombs. It is through this process that the tomb complex of the different groups came to be formed. The tombs of the royal burial area of Wolseong North Burial Ground, including the Daereungwon Tomb Complex, also formed group tomb complexes. Forming the centers of the group tomb complexes of the royal tomb area were huge individual round tombs where the Maripgan rulers were laid to rest or a gourd-shaped dual mound tomb, which was the final resting place of the king and his queen consort. These central tombs were surrounded by large and smaller tombs. Of the individuals that were buried in the group tomb complexes, there would have been individuals that were of equal status or social position, such as husbands and wives or blood relations, but it is unlikely that all of the buried individuals were related by blood, given the significant difference in the sizes of the tombs. It is likely that the individuals buried in the lower ranked tombs included in the group tomb complexes were 'dependents' of the deceased of the central tomb and his or her direct family who maintained a subservient relationship. Such tomb forms and group tomb complexes that can be observed amongst the wooden chamber tombs with stone mounds of Wolseong North Burial Ground provide insights into the nature of the social groups of the Silla center during the Maripgan Period. It is hoped that future studies undertaking a more detailed analysis of the data may make further contributions to unveiling the various aspects of Silla society.

The aim of the research is to provide rheological properties of cement paste with various qualities of coal ash including fly ash, raw ash, and reject ash. Generally, fly ash is the well known supplementrary cementitious materials for concrete and is used to improve various properties. Although fly ash is obtained as a byproduct of fire powder plant, still reject ash is wasted from raw ash. In this research, thus, to provide a fundamental information on using not only fly ash but also raw ash or reject ash for cementitious materials, a rheological properties of cement paste was studied with three different coal ash. This research was conducted from particle conditions of three different coal ashes to rheological properties in cement paste phase. According to the expeirment, reject ash was consisted with large and coagulated particles although fly ash was consisted with a small and spherical shaped particles. based on the particle conditions of various coal ashes, rheological behaviors were tested, and it was shown as the coal ashes improved the fluidity of cement paste. Specifically, depending on the particle distributions of cement paste, it is considered that the viscosity of paste can be controlled.

Due to the processing cost, there were some reports on distribution of unrefined fly ash. Hence, in this research, the possibility of fly ash quality evaluation by measuring the density of various qualities of coal ash suspensions with hydrometer. According to the experimental results, the appropriate test conditions were determined with 1,000cc capacity mass cylinder for 1,000cc of water with 100g of fly ash. From the evaluating performance of various coal ashes, based on a good correlation between fineness and quality of the coal ashes, it was possible to evaluate the quality of coal ash by measuring different density of suspension with hydrometer. In this research conditions, the suggestable measuring time of density variation was three minute for fly ash quality related with fineness.

In most coal fired power plants, fly ashes collected from each of hoppers in the electrostatic precipitator are transported and stored in a silo. However the properties of the fly ashes collected from each of hoppers in electrostatic precipitator varies with the distance of the collection field from the boiler. The more distance hopper gets fly ash with larger specific surface area. Therefore, in electrostatic precipitator the hopper itself is expected to have the effect of classifying fly ashes. This study examines the physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of fly ash, collected from each of hoppers attached to an electrostatic precipitator in the coal fired power plant and looks into the possibility of the electrostatic precipitator being used as a classifier. Also, the study reviewed the possibility of acquiring high quality fly ash.

In this research, the perception and foodservice quality satisfaction of free school meals were surveyed by elementary school students in Busan. The survey was conducted on 600 elementary students of 4~6th graders. The total score for perception of free school meals was 4.47/5.00 points. Sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher score than fourth graders (P<0.01). The overall score for satisfaction of free school meals was 4.55 points. In terms of grade, sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher score than fifth graders (P<0.05). For satisfaction of foodservice quality, average score was 4.55 points. In terms of lower-level categories, areas of food, menu, sanitation, service, and environment yielded 4.47, 4.62, 4.62, 4.53, and 4.48 points, respectively. In terms of differences by grade, sixth graders showed a statistically significant higher average score for satisfaction of foodservice quality than fourth and fifth graders (P<0.01). The overall score for perception of free school meals and overall satisfaction of foodservice quality showed a statistically significant positive correlation (P<0.01, r=0.781). In each category of foodservice quality, areas of food (r=0.733), menu (r=0.677), sanitation (r=0.636), service (r=0.673), and environment (r=0.588) showed statistically significant positive correlations (P<0.01).
