The purpose of this study is to understand differences in cognitive function and the instrumental activities of daily living depending on whether elderly women living alone in Korea have depression and to determine the correlation between variables. The data were collected from April 2011 to April 2012 with a total of 1,426 women interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Based on examining the correlation between variables, a weak inverse correlation was shown between depression and cognitive function(r=-.208, p<.001), between cognitive function and the instrumental activities of daily living(r=-.256, p<.001), and a weak positive correlation was shown between depression and instrumental activities of daily living(r=.222, p<.001). According to these results, We should pay attention to come up with ways to promote and maintain the mental health of elderly women so that depression level can be reduced through the improvement of cognitive function and social activity level.

Quasi-static tests were conducted to evaluate structural performance of precast piers prestressed by bonded prestressing steels. Combinations of prestressing bars and normal reinforcing bars, embedded steel tubes and prestressing strands were used as continuous steels crossing the joints of a precast pier. Main design parameters were steel ratio, magnitude of prestress force, and section details. Flexural strength and energy dissipation capacity of precast columns with higher steel ratio showed better performance due to continuous steels after opening of the joints. Precast piers with embedded members showed stable behavior after reaching maximum loads resulting in higher displacement ductility and energy dissipation capacity increased as the introduced prestress increased. Self-centering behavior at early stages and stress increase of confining reinforcements were observed from highly prestressed columns. Combination of prestressing steels and normal reinforcing bars should be used in design to prevent rapid strength degradation after reaching the maximum load.

The discharge capacity testing apparatus using penetration method, being able to simulate in laboratory the condition of embedding plastic board drains in field, was developed to investigate consolidation characteristics of ground and to figure out discharge capacity of drains. The developed apparatus with a mandrel and penetrating device was designed to insert PBD into the ground prepared by previously applied pressure, being different from the conventional testing method that the drain was installed and the ground material was poured subsequently. Discharge capacity tests with the conventional apparatus as well as the newly developed one were performed to assess the applicability of the latter. As a result of tests, the conventional method showed delayed consolidation due to overall disturbance of ground and local deformation of drain caused by inhomogeneity of ground. Therefore discharge capacity of drain with the conventional apparatus was measured more or less larger than the expected values whereas discharge capacity with new one could be measured similar to the actual value in field.

A model was proposed for the removal of poly-dispersed suspended solid by deep bed filtration and the collection efficiency was investigated by computer simulation. Deposited particles on the collector surface may act as additional collector and reduce the pore size of the collector. As a result, the capability of removing suspended particles of the filter bed was improved with the deposition. The filtration process of poly-dispersed suspension shows higher collection efficiency than that of mono-dispersed suspensions. Since the large particles deposited on the collector surface may contribute to the increase of contact between collectors and small particles, the improved overall collection efficiency was obtained.

원전 중대사고시 에어로졸 거동 현상과 분석 모델에 대한 이해의 증대와 분석 능력을 재선하기 위한 목적으로 OECD ISP-40에 참여하여 SR-11 에어로졸 부착 및 재부유 실험을 분석하였다.MELCOR 코드에 의한 부착 분석 결과, 부착량을 과소 예측하는 것으로 나타나 열영동 상관식 계수의 조정과 난류 효과의 고려 등 모델의 개선이 필요한 것으로 보이며, 분석모델 작성시 입자크기의 분포에 주의해야 함을 알 수 있었다. VICTORIA 코드는 부착량을 약간 과도하게 예측하였고 재부유가 초기에 과도하게 일어나는 것으로 예측하는 모델의 제한점을 나타냈다.
