Nowadays, market demand of structural Glulam is growing and diversifying. The durability of Glulam should be significantly considered when they are intended to apply for out-door use such as timber bridge and pergola. This study was aimed to develop the manufacturing process of preservative treated structural Glulam using domestic softwood species. 10 m long structural Glulam were manufactured from domestic pitch pine logs with CuAz-3 preservative treatment. At each manufacturing process, the production yield was evaluated. Finally, bending tests were performed to verify the structural performance of manufactured Glulam. From the results, it was shown that the preservative treatment process hardly influenced on the production yield. But domestic pitch pine was proved to not be suitable for making the preservative treated Glulam due to the large difference of preservative permeability between sapwood and heartwood.

This paper discusses the problems in application of a parallel wire strand with high performance steel wires, which have the tensile strength of 1960 MPa grade, as a major component of the main cables in suspension bridges. Construction methods of main cables in suspension bridges are briefly reviewed by comparing the pros and cons of available methods. Required items for performance and quality of parallel wire strands are described based on the established references. Ultimate tensile strength tests are carried out for seven specimens in order to analyze the behavior of high-performance parallel wire strands. The test results demonstrate that the properties of test specimens are satisfied with performance indexes specified in this paper. The high-performance parallel wire strands are acceptable for application in main cables of suspension bridges.

It is very important to select appropriate distributions for hydrological data in planning and designing hydraulic structures. Also, it is necessary to check whether the selected distribution reproduces the statistical characteristics of the real data. In this study, the parameters of the two- and three-parameter gamma, two- and three-parameter lognormal, Gumbel, two- and three-parameter log-Gumbel, GEV, log-Pearsonn type III, two- and three-parameter Weibull, four- and five-parameter Wakeby distributions were estimated for the rainfall data of 22 sites in Korea with 7 different durations based on the methods of moments, probability weighted moments, and maximum likelihood. And the validity conditions were checked for the estimated parameters. The separation effect for each distribution was examined throught 10,000 simulations using the estimated parameters. As results, the separation effect was the smallest: log-Pearson type III for moment method, log-Pearson type III and GEV for probability weighted moment method, and GEV for maximum likelihood method. However, it is large for the two-parameter distributions.

The proportion of plant-based meat alternative (PBMA) consumers has recently increased in Korea. This is due to several reasons including protecting the environment, satisfying preferences, maintaining health, and improving eating habits. Accordingly, many companies produce and sell alternative meat using various materials. Alternative meats are classified into plant (such as soybeans and wheat), seaweed, insect, and cultured meats, depending on the raw materials used in manufacturing. PBMA is sold after undergoing processes such as grinding, seasoning, and molding. Therefore, monitoring the presence of any hazardous elements during this process is essential. Accordingly, in this study, we analyzed the harmful components of nine domestically distributed PBMA that are most easily accessible to consumers. After extracting fat from the samples and analyzing the rancidity level, samples F, G, and I were highly rancid. Trace amounts of aflatoxin were detected in samples A and B, but confirmed to be within the range. Cd and Pb were not detected in any sample. We hope that this study will help establish methods to ensure the safety of domestically sold PBMA.

Single-PPM Quality Movement is perfect production movement which is suitable for 21C's social-economical criteria to pursuit of zero defect. This is advanced program of 100PPM Quality Renovation Movement which has been started in 1995, for single unit ppm. In this paper, through the review of 100PPM Movement's performance and problem solving procedure, we hope to find and discuss that how is an effective and compatible approach to realize the single-ppm quality in the small-and-medium size enterprises.

Concrete is considered to be one of the excellent and versatile shielding material and is widely used for the radiation shielding material. Specially, heavyweight(or high density) concrete is used in counter weights of bascule and lift bridges, but it is generally used in radiation shielding structures and differ from normal weight concrete by having a higher density and special compositions to improve its attenuation properties. Thorough examination and evaluation of heavyweight aggregate sources are necessary to obtain material suitable for the type of shielding required. Therefore, this paper aims to study mechanical properties of heavyweight concrete by using normal cement, natural and heavyweight aggregate.

This study was carried out to obtain basic data on mycelial growth characteristics for an artificial cultivation of Grifola frondosa. Ten strains of G. frondosa were collected from Korea, China and Japan and investigated its optimal culture condition. Among four kinds of mushroom culture media, PDA medium was selected as the suitable culture medium. The optimal conditions for the mycelial growth of G. frondosa in PDA medium were $25^{\circ}C$ and $4{\sim}5$ of pH, respectively. The carbon and nitrogen sources for the optimum mycelial growth were fructose and peptone, respectively, and the highest mycelial growth was observed when the C/N ratio was $10{\sim}20$.

최근 전세계적으로 발생하고 있는 이상기후 현상과 각종 개발 사업으로 인한 불투수면적의 증가로 극한 홍수의 발생빈도가 높아가고 있다. 특히 내수배제 불량으로 인한 도시지역의 침수로 매년 많은 인명과 재산상의 손실이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 홍수피해 저감 및 복구대책으로 많은 국비가 지원되고 있으나 아직까지 예방보다는 복구비에 치중하고 있는 실정이다. 국내에는 상습침수 위험지구가 점차적으로 증가하는 추세이며 이를 점진적으로 해소해나가기 위해서는 도시방재성능 목표 설정에서 목표강우량을 상향으로 설정할 필요가 있다고 본다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 목표강우량을 상향 조정하여 침수해석을 실시하고 침수심을 기준으로 실제호우사상에 대한 침수심과 비교 검토하여 적정성을 확인하려고 한다. 또한 확률강우량의 시간분포는 도시별 유역 규모 및 유출특성, 강우강도 특성 등에 따라 상이한 결과를 보일 여지가 다분하여 실제 침수를 일으킨 강우와 가장 유사한 강우분포를 찾고자 한다. 기존 실무에서 주로 사용되는 Huff 분포와 함께 교호 블럭법, Huff와 교호블럭법을 혼합한 시간분포를 서울지역에 적용하여 대상지역에 적합한 시간분포를 선정하였다. 선정된 시간분포를 바탕으로 내수침수해석을 실시하여 그 결과인 침수심을 기준으로 상향된 목표강우량을 제시하고 도시지역의 적합한 설계강우의 시간분포를 도출하였다. 본 연구를 통해 도시지역의 적합한 강우 시간분포와 방재성능 목표를 설정하는데 기초자료를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Five soybean varieties were used to measure seed vigor according to the artificially different deterioration. A vigor index derived from the product of percent germination x hypocotyllength was used as the parameter in comparison of other tests for seed vigor. There were the varietal differences in initial vigor. The warm germination test was the best measurement for seed vigor at the advanced stages of seed deterioration. All other vigor measurements, except ATP and GADA measurements, showed highly significant correlations with the vigor index. Hypocotyl length, conductivity index and cold germination measurements for seed vigor were appropriate for predicting seed quality.

This is a comparative and analytical study which comprises of the analysis of the rules of the seller's liability for non-conforming goods of four legal systems under the CISG and the CESL. A purpose of this study is to examine all the rules as to, first, the concept and the nature of the seller's duty to deliver the goods in conformity with the contract, second, the contents of the seller's duty to deliver the goods in conformity with the contract, third, the time when the goods must be in conformity with the contract and the cases where the seller is exempted from his liability for non-conforming goods. Another purpose is to compare the rules of the CISG with those of the CESL, and to evaluate them in light of the discipline of comparative law. This is for the purpose of facilitating the systematic development and reform of one jurisdiction by any solution from the other jurisdiction found by the comparative study. In addition, this study provides legal and practical advice to the contracting parties when they intend to use one of those regimes in their contract as a governing law.
