Lightweight geopolymers were fabricated by using IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) slag and Si sludge which are classified as general wastes (recyclable resources). Three curing methods were tried to investigate the changes in compressive strength and density according to the curing method and immersion time. Immersion period was tried up to 21 days to observe long-term performance in water. Compressive strength of the specimens cured in oven decreased abruptly with an increase in immersion time. Compressive strength of the specimen cured in autoclave was low after 3 and 7 day immersion; however, increased rapidly after 21 day immersion. On the contrary, compressive strength of the specimen cured in autoclave and oven was high but substantially decreased after 21 day immersion. Conclusively, it was speculated that oven curing is effective for the compressive strength development at early age; however, autoclave curing is more desirable for the long-term performance in water.

The present study examined the effect of bottom ash aggregate contents on the compressive strength gain and mechanical properties(modulus of elasticity and rupture and splitting tensile strength) of concrete. Main test parameters were water-to-cement ratio and bottom ash aggregate contents for replacement of natural sand. Test results showed that the 28-days compressive strength of concrete and mechanical properties normalized by the compressive strength tended to decrease with the increase in bottom ash fine aggregate content. When compared with fib 2010 model equations, bottom ash aggregate concrete exhibited the following performances: lower rates of compressive strength gain at early ages but greater rates at long-term ages; slightly higher measurements for modulus of elasticity and rupture; and lower measurements for splitting tensile strength.

This study explores the long-term decline in the uniaxial compressive strength of Controlled Low Strength Material (CLSM) by preparing a sample with a 1:1 mixing ratio of CLSM and water. Uniaxial compressive strength tests were conducted after 7 and 28 days of curing. The results revealed that the compressive strength at 28 days was reduced by a factor of 2.85 compared to that at 7 days. Additionally, when expansion was introduced under the same mixing conditions, there was a significant reduction in compressive strength. Point load strength tests based on 7 and 28 days of curing indicated a disparity of 29.27 to 58.76 and 48.19 to 95.13 times, respectively, between the point load strength and the uniaxial compressive strength at 7 days. The differences observed in the findings of this study compared to previous studies may be attributed to variations in the precision of the test method and the sample production process. Therefore, it is essential to establish clear testing methods to accurately evaluate CLSM.

Manganese is an essential element in the body. It is mainly deposited in the liver and to a lesser degree in the basal ganglia of the brain and eliminated through the bile duct. Rapid turnover of managanese in the body makes it difficult to evaluate the manganese exposure in workers, esecially in those with irregular or intermittent exposure, like welders. Therefore, conventional biomarkers, including blood and urine manganese can provide only a limited information about the long-tern or cumulative exposure to manganese. Introduction of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made a progress in the assessment of manganese exposure in the medical conditions related to manganese accumulation, e. g. hepatic failure and long-term total parenteral nutrition. Manganese shortens spin-lattice(T1) relaxation time on MRI due to its paramagnetic property, resulting in high signal intensity (HSI) on T1-weighted image(T1W1) of MRI. Manganese deposition in the brain, therefore, can be visualizedas an HSI in the globus pallidus, the substantia nigra, the putamen and the pituitary. clinical and epidemiologic studies regarding the MRI findings in the cases of occupational and non-occupational manganese exposure were reviewed. relationships between HSI on T1W1 of MRI and age, gender, occupational manganese exposure, and neurological dysfunction were analysed. Relationships betwen biological exposure indices and HSI on MRE werealso reviewed. Literatures were reviewed to establish the relationships between HSI, Manganese deposition in the brain, pathologic findings, and neurological dysfunction. HSI on T1W1 of MRI reflects regional manganese deposition in the brain. This relationship enables an estimation of regional manganese deposition in the brain by analysing MR signal intensity. Manganese deposition in the brain can induce a neuronal loss in the basal ganglia but functional abnormality is supposed to be related to the cumulative exposure of manganese in the brain, use of brain MRI for the assessment of exposure in a group of workers seems to be hardly rationalized, while ti can be a useful adjunct for the evaluation of manganese exposure int he cases with suspected manganese-related health problems.

High-strength plastic water supply pipe evaluation method was evaluated in this study. Up to date, high strength water supply pipes that we install are mostly ductile cast iron pipes. Sometimes, a few PVC pipes are installed. Metal pipes have rust problem on the surface, causing serious damage to metal pipes and reducing the expected life span of water piping system. Nowadays, depending on technology development, some companies have improved properties of general PVC pipe performance with remarkable properties that exceed KS and ASTM standard. Here, we suggest a new method of performance evaluation for high-strength water plastic pipes.

제 3세대로 불리우는 차세대 발전시스템인 고체산화물 연료전지(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell, SOFC)는 연료전지 가운데 발전효율이 가장 높고, NOx와 SOx의 발생이 없는 무공해 청정에너지 발전 시스템으로 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이중 원통형 구조는 전력밀도가 평판형 구조에 비해 다소 떨어지나 반응기체의 밀봉이 쉽고, 기계적 강도가 높으며, 열응력에 대한 저항성이 높아 스텍제작이 비교적 용이하며 장기 운전이 가능하다는 장점이 있으며, 평판형 구조의 경우는 전류의 흐름이 구성요소의 면에 수직방향으로 흐르므로 전력밀도가 높은 장점이 있으나 가스의 밀봉이 어렵고, 기계적 강도나 열응력에 대한 저항성이 높은 단점을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 원통형 구조와 평판형 구조의 상호 장점을 보완하여 기존의 원통형의 구조를 최적화하여 개선한 연료극 지지체식 Flat-Tube형 고체산화물 연료전지의 제조와 특성에 대한 연구를 발표하고자 한다.

In this study, the variation of unit weight and unconfined compressive strength were investigated, calcium carbonate, quicklime, portland cement, 19mm length monofilaments and fibrillated fiber were used as reinforcement materials. And calcium chloride was added to cement and calcium carbonate reinforced soil mixture in order to accelerate setting and hardening speed. It appears that unit weight is highest in calcium carbonate reinforced soil mixture with mixing rate of 9%. According to increasing the amount of fiber in soil mixture, the unit weight decreased. It shows that the more the amount of monofilament fiber is added in soil mixture, the higher the compressive strength is, but the compressive strength is decreased in fibrillated fibrillated fiber added soil mixture with more than 1.0% of mixing rate.

This research performed strength improvement analysis after evaluating strength characteristics by estimated temperatures to evaluate the real time strength performance of 50 to 80 MPa high performance concrete equipped with heat resistance, and the results are as follows. The lesser W/B and the lesser target slump flow value difference, compression strength was shown to increase, and the more curing temperature becomes, the strength increased accordingly. According to the correlation review result of strength improvement analysis by estimated temperature change performed using logistic analysis model, the compression strength value predicted with logistic curve expression and the compression strength value measured in experiment were shown to have similar correlation, and the strength improvement analysis value by logistic model was shown to be estimated good when W/B is high.
