The recent government policy for environment is pursuing for a circular waste control system not only to reduce waste as much as possible but also to vigorously use the already produced waste. Copper slag has a higher fineness modulus and a greater specific gravity than natural aggregate. but when the substitutive ratio of fine aggregate is higher than 30%, material segregation occurs by bleeding. Thus, in this study, the strength and the physical properties were tested for the specimens manufactured by varying the types of admixtures, and the substitutive ratio of copper slag to suppress material segregation occurring due to the bleeding of concrete using copper slag as the substitutive material of fine aggregate and to find the adequate substitutive ratio of copper slag.

The purpose of this study is to develop the hybrid sound-absorbing materials that is made from organic polyurethane sponge impregnated with inorganic binder solutions. The inorganic slurry which is made from ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate gypsum mixed with 60% water, and various additives including plasticizer are used as binder. The test specimens are prepared and tested for sound absorption performance by the impedance tube methods. From the test results, noise reduction coefficient(NRC) of development materials specimen bound by the inorganic binder slurry is 0.41. They are 2 times or more higher than commercial products specimens bound by organic materials only which have NRC values in the range of 0.14 to 0.28. The polyurethane sponge specimens impregnated with inorganic gypsum slurry binder have a good balance between performance and cost, and have proper properties in density, thermal conductivity, non-combustible, and absence of harmful substances as sound-absorbing internal boards for noise barrier wall. It is apparent that the good sound absorption materials can be produced according to the optimum mix design that is recommended from this study.

1957년에 사이리스터가 발표된 이래 파워반도체디바이스(이하 ''파워디바이스''라 한다)의 발전과 더불어 이것을 사용하여 전력변환$\cdot$제어와 이를 응용한 파워일렉트로닉스 산업도 현저한 발전을 이루어 왔다. 21세기를 맞이하여 지구의 유한성을 강하게 인식하고 자원과 에너지를 고도이용하는 순환형 사회에로의 전환을 도모하는 기술혁신과 IT(정보기술)를 구사한 기술보급의 움직임이 활발해지고, 파워일렉트로닉스와 그 키파트인 파워디바이스가 수행하여야 할 역할은 점점 더 중요해지고 있다. 이와 같은 배경 하에서 파워디바이스는 인버터제어를 주목적으로 사이리스터, GTO(Gate Turn-off Thyristor), 바이폴라트랜지스터, MOSFET(Metal Oxide Silicon Field Effect Transistor)에서 IGBT(Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor)에로 진전되고, 그 응용분야도 가전제품에서 OA, 산업, 의료, 전기자동차, 전철, 전력에 이르는 폭넓은 분야로 확대되었다. 현재 파워디바이스를 취급하는 전력의 범위는 수W의 스위칭 전원에서 GW급의 직류송전까지 9단위까지에 이르러 광범위한 전력 제어가 가능하게 되었다. 한편 응용의 중심이 되는 IGBT는, 고속화와 저손실화 및 파괴 내량의 향상을 지향한 개량을 거듭하여 제5세대제품이 나타나기 시작하였다. 또한 IGBT에 구동$\cdot$보호$\cdot$진단 회로 등을 넣어 모듈화한 IPM(Intelligent Power Module)이 그 편리성과 소형화를 특징으로 파워디바이스의 주역의 자리에 정착하였다. 가전$\cdot$산업$\cdot$자동차$\cdot$전철의 각 분야에서는 시장 니즈에 최적 설계된 IPM이 개발되게 되어 보다 더한 시장확대가 기대되고 있다. 또한 종래의 Si(실리콘)에 대신하는 반도체 재료로서 SiC(실리콘 카바이드 : 탄화규소)에 대한 기대가 크고 MOSFET나 SBD 등의 파워디바이스의 조기실용화에의 대처노력도 주목할 만하다.

This study focuses evaluating the efficiency and performance evaluation of composite type sheet-membrane waterproofing method that utilizes a separation behavior inducement system designed to resolve the chronic problems of disintegration and damage of overlap areas of waterproofing layers. As the result of the test, the tensile strength value was at 13.8N/mm and elongation rate at 587% for the separation behavior inducement type specimen, and the compared specimens had 14.2N/mm for tensile strength and 335% for elongation rate. For the separation behavior adhesion method specimen, when tensile stress or displacement occurred, the Zero-Span tension occurrence did not follow, which resulted in that the bottom sheet layer and the top membrane layer did not simultaneously becoming damaged. When undergoing the top and bottom layers were separated through separation behavior due to lack of flexibility, the bottom layer began to damage at the primary stage, and with the allowed boundary the upper membrane layer began to display flexibility and showed continuous displaced resulting in secondary phase damaging.

In this study, we aim to develop a carbon-reducing concrete technology by incorporating biochar. Performance evaluation experiments were conducted on concrete mixtures containing biochar with insulating and carbon-capturing properties, which are essential for key infrastructure sectors such as construction and tunnels. Concrete mixtures were designed with different biochar incorporation rates of 0 %, 5 %, 10 %, 15 %, and 20 %, as w ell as w ater-to-binder ratios of 0.25, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40. To assess the physical properties of each mixture, unit weight, total porosity, and permeability were measured, while mechanical properties were determined through the measurement of concrete compressive and flexural strengths. Key factors for enhancing the insulating effect of carbon-reducing concrete containing biochar were identified through regression analysis, indicating a close correlation among biochar incorporation rate, unit weight, concrete strength, and thermal conductivity. It is anticipated that it can be utilized as an insulating material to enhance thermal performance in northern regions with severe winter climates.

The present study conducted mock-up tests under the simulated sewage environments to examine the practical significance and limitation of coating materials that were previously developed on the basis of the bacterial glycocalix as a protection of concrete structures exposed to microbiological and sulphate attacks. The variations of the compressive strength and mass of the concrete due to the sulphate attack were measured using cylinder specimens. The bacteria growth and glycocalix formulation were calculated from the samples extracted from the sewage pipes. The next generation sequencing analysis was also conducted for environmental damage assessment due to the use of Rhodobacter capsulatus in the simulated sewage environments. The mock-up tests revealed that the developed coating materials have a good potential in resisting the sulphate attack, indicating no reduction on compressive strength and mass of the coated concrete under the sewage environment. At the age of 91 days, the concentrations of viable bacteria and glycocalix measured from the hardened coating materials were 1.4×10⁴cell/mL and 67.5mg/㎤, respectively. Moreover, harmful strains were not observed in the sewage water including glycocalix-coated concrete pipes. This implies that Rhodobacter capsulatus used in the coating materials does not influence negatively the microorganism cluster in the sewage environments.

In this study, the rheological properties of cement paste composites applied with carbon-based nano-materials were experimental analyzed. Flow table and rheological properties, compressive strength were measured in the cement paste using graphene oxide asqueous solution and carbon nanotube aqueous solution. When carbon nano-materials was mixed in an aqueous solution, flow decreased and plastic viscosity and shear stress were increased. In particular, graphene oxide rapidly increased the plastic viscosity and shear stress. In the case of carbon nanotube aqueous solution, when less than 0.2 % was mixed, the increase rate was low compared to graphene oxide. This is because the specific surface area of graphene, which is in the form of a plate, is large. The compressive strength showed a small amount in strength increase when graphene mix, and CNT had a strength about 112 % of OPC. Carbon-based nanomaterials, is considered that CNT are suitable more to be used construction materials. However, extra studies on the surfactant to be used for mixing proportion and dispersion will be needed.

As of 2018, Steel slag was generated approximately 24.23 million tons. Howeve, except blast furnace slag, steel slag is a typical by-product which does not have a clearly defined purpose in recycling. Thus, countries around the world are putting great efforts into developing a purpose for the recycling of steel slag. The vast habitat foundation of marine life has been destroyed due to recent reckless marine development and environment pollution, resulting in intensification of the decline of marine resources, and a solution to this issue is imperative. In order to propose a method to recycle large amounts of by-product slag into a material that can serve as an alternative to natural aggregate, the engineering properties and applicability for each mixing factor of environment friendly porous concrete as a material for the composition of seawater purification were in this study. Regarding the nutrient elution properties, it was clear that the nutrients continuously flowed out up to an immersion time by 8 months in natural seawater; the nitrogenous fertilizer displayed excellent elution properties in this regard.
