Many steepened slopes have become increasingly advantageous because of the desire to increase land usage and decrease site development costs. The proven concept of tensile reinforcement allows construction of slopes with far steeper face angles than the soils natural angle. Steepened slope face reinforced with improved soil can increase land usage substantially while providing a natural appearance. The paper presents composite reinforced earth with improved soil surface and geogrid-reinforced backfill. For the stability of the steepened slope, the behavior of the composite reinforced earth are validated and verified by case study and numerical analysis. The case study has performed to investigate the deformation of reinforce soil slope for 14 months. Its horizontal behavior by general vertical load shows within the safe range (0.5% of structure height). As a result of numerical analysis and case study, the reinforcement effect of the steepened slope technique using improved soil is sufficient to be constructed as reinforced soil slope.

In this study, finite element analyses of masonry infilled frames using a general purpose FE program, ABAQUS, were conducted. Analysis models consisted of the bare frame, infilled frames with masonry wall thickness of 0.5B and 1.0B, respectively. The masonry walls were constructed using the concrete bricks which were generally used in Korea as infilled wall. The material properties of frames and masonry for the analysis were obtained from material tests. However, four times increased the tensile strength was used for 1.0B wall, which is seemingly due to the differences in locating the bricks. The force-displacement relation and development of crack from the FE analysis were very similar to those from the experiments. From the FEA results, contact force between the frame and masonry, distribution of shear force and bending moments in frame members were analyzed. Obtained contact stress shows a trianglur distribution, and the contact length for 0.5B speciment and 1.0B specimen were close to the value estimated using ASCE 41-06 equation and ASCE 41-13 equation, respectively. Obtained shear force and bending moment distribution seems to replicate actual behavior which originates from the contact stress and gap between the frame and masonry.

The buddhistic painting of Song-Kwang temple in Seungjoo-gun, Chonnam, Korea is not known in chronicle, but it could be estimated to works in the early 19th century through it's remaining records and qualities of materials. And it was analysed the qualities of materials consisting of pigment layer, silken-ground layer and support layer in order to preserve buddhistic painting, made back-adherent paper of the support layer proper to it, tested its compatibility, and then concluded as follows. 1. The section structures of buddhistic painting is consisted of the pigment layer, silken-ground layer of silk and the support layer of Korean hand made paper, it could be recognized that buddhistic painting in 19th century was basically composed of the pigment layer, the silken-ground layer and the support layer. Moreover the pigment layer and the silken-ground layer got adhered with glue, and sheets of support layers got back adhered with paste. 2. The support layer of buddhistic painting consisted of 5 layers and two kinds of paper were used for them. The first and second layers were composed of Korean hand made paper made of pure paper mulberry bast fibers, and the rest of them of paper that paper mulberry bast fibers were mixed into recycled hemp fibers. Though it is difficult to assert without the security of more data, finding out the then situation through the qualities of materials, it was presumed that the society in 19th century was suffered from economical difficulties and the operation of the paper industry of temples was rather difficult and so low-qualitative recycled hemp fibers might used for back-adherent paper. 3. Considering tension between silken-ground layers and support layers of this materials, newly made back-adherent paper was used for repair, and then I could conform that it was proper to back-adherent paper for repair.

New neutron shielding materials, KNS-201, KNS-301 and KNS-601 have been fabricated to be used for radioactive material shipping and storage cask. The base materials are a modified and a hydrogenated bisphenol- A type and novolac type epoxy resin, and aluminium hydroxide and boron carbide are added. These shielding materials offer good fluidity at processing, which makes it possible to form this resin shield into complicated geometric shapes such as radioactive material shipping and storage cask. Several measurements were made for the shielding materials to evaluate the thermal and mechanical properties and radiation resistance. The properties of the shielding materials are as follows: onset temperatures 2S7~28$0^{\circ}C$, thermal conductivities 0.9S~1.14W/m. K, thermal expansion coefficients 0.77~1.26x$10_{-6}{\circ}C_{-1}$, combustion characteristics < 80$0^{\circ}C$, ATB(average time of burning) < 5sec, AEB(average extent of burning) < 5mm, tensile strengths 2.5~3.2kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, compressive strengths 13.2~1S.2kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, flexural strengths 5.2 -6.4kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$. In general, the concerned properties of KNS-201, KNS-301 and KNS-601 were revealed to be better than those of NS-4- FR. foreign neutron shielding material. It is also observed that the radiation resistance of KNS- 601 was better than those of KNS-201 and KNS-301.

In this study, recently it is urgently required that demolition waste concrete has to be recycled on the construction because urban development is accelerated and redevelopment project is rapidly expanded, production quantity of construction and demolition waste concrete is being increased. As a results of drying shrinkage test under restrained and unrestrained condition, although workability and mechanical properites of concrete using HQRS were similar to that of concrete using natural sand, there were a great difference in deformation characteristic of dry shrinkage according to replacement ratio of HQRS. And, it makes sure that use of HQRS instead of partial nature sand was effective because drying shrinkage of concrete using 30 volume percentage of HQRS was smaller than that using only natural sand. Therefore, it is the objective of this study to provide the fundamental data about the re-application as an analysis of the drying shrinkage characteristics of concrete using HQRS and it is able to creta a high value-added by using HQRS.

The Geotextiles have been used for the protection of Geomembrane and the prevention of clogging phenomenon; however, the material can be easily damaged by construction equipments. It generally recommended to use at least $500g/m^2$ of Geotextile in Korea landfill, but few researcher were performed about the damage of Geotextile. Therefore, we intended to evaluate the potential damage of Geotextile by the traffic load simulating the final cover system in a field scale. Tensile strength and strain were appraised to understand the degree of damaged Geotextile. The tests were conducted under the condition of cross direction of Geotextile. Four different weight of Geotextile was used for the evaluation $500g/m^2$, $700g/m^2$, $1,000g/m^2$ and $1,500g/m^2$. The initial strain of $500g/m^2$ of Geotextile showed 50% that did not meet the standard 60%. The strain of $700g/m^2$ of Geotextile was below the standard after the traffic load test; however, the others met the requirement in the test. In conclusion, the weight of Geotextile used in landfill to protect the Geomembrane should be at least $700g/m^2$ in a view of strain requirement. We expect this study provides fundamental information for the construction of Geotextile in landfill.

In this work, finite element investigations were carried out to optimize reverse drawing process design for manufacture of high-capacity aluminum liner used in fuel cell vehicle. The tensile tests with aluminum alloy Al6061 annealed at $350^{\circ}C$ were carried out to obtain the flow stresses. In order to estimate more accurate flow stresses after necking, the flow stresses were estimated from the comparison of load vs. displacement curves which were obtained from experimental and simulation results of tensile tests. In case of finite element analyses of reverse drawing processes, it was focused on the effects of process designs such as punch and die designs, blank holding force, drawing ratio and the clearance between the punch and blank holder on the generation of wrinkle and fracture of the blank and partially heated punch. However, it was revealed that experimental results still show the fracture at the end of 2nd drawn cup, although partially heated punch is used. Nevertheless, the drawn cup can be used because the sufficient length of the drawn cup for the next flow forming process and spinning process was obtained.

This study is to compare and analyze the strength, drying shrinkage and carbonation properties of lightweight aggregate mortar using recycling water as prewetting water and mixing water. The flow, compressive strength, split tensile strength, drying shrinkage and carbonation depth of lightweight aggregate mortar with recycling water were measured. As test results, the mortar flow was similar in all mixes regardless of the recycling water content. The compresseive strength of the RW5 mix with 5% recycling water as prewetting water and mixing water was the highest value, about 53.9 MPa after 28 days. In addition, the tensile strength of lightweight mortar was about 3.4 to 3.8 MPa, indicating 7 to 9% of the compressive strength value regardless of recycling water content. In the case of drying shrinkage, the RW2.5 mix using 2.5% recycling water showed the lowest shrinkage rate as about 0.107% at 56 days. The drying shrinkage of the plain mix without recycling water was relatively higher than the RW2.5 and RW5 mix. The RW5 mix showed lowest carbonation depth compared to other mixes. In this study, the RW5 lightweight aggregate mortar with 5% recycling water exhibits excellent compressive strength and carbonation resistance. Therefore, it is considered that if the recycling water, a by-product of the concrete industry, is properly used as prewetting water and mixing water of lightweight mortar and concrete, it will be possible to increase the recycling rate of the by-product and contribute to improve the property of lightweitht aggregate mortar and concrete.

Due to the improvement of living standards and avoidance of the 3D industry, it is difficult to find young and competent domestic workers at construction sites, and most foreign workers are contributing to the replacement, but the quality is still deteriorating due to lack of skilled workers and aging. Precast method is a method that make members in factory and assembles them on site, which can be expected to improve labor force and quality. This study is intended to provide basic data for the development of hang-type PC beams that can be applied to the determination of the field application of developed PC beams. The U-type connecting material is installed on both ends of the hang-up PC beam, and the role of the U-type connecting material is very important because it is a simple construction method through the U-type connecting material. In addition, the performance of the U-type connecting material will determine the performance of the hang-type PC beam as the final destruction occurs in the hang-type PC beam. The material properties of U-type connecting material were identified through structural experiments, and the end test corresponding to the partial experiment was conducted based on the material test results identified. Finally, the final design value of PC beams was proposed through structural experiments for application to the site.
