Biofilters packed with various materials commonly show problems such as low performance and clogging in a long-term operation. Recently, a bioactive foam reactor(BFR) using surfactants has been suggested to ensure efficient and stable VOCs removal performance. This study was mainly conducted to investigate the feasibility of the BFR system using styrene as a model compound. An abiotic md a biotic tests were conducted to estimate a mass transfer coefficient($K_La$) and a specific substrate utilization coefficient(k) for the BFR, showing the rate of mass transfer was greater in the BFR than in other diffuser systems. A dynamic loading test also indicated that the performance of the BFR was stable under a shock loading condition. Furthermore, the maximum elimination capacity of the BFR was determined to be 109 $g/m^3/hr$ for styrene, which was much higher than those for biofilter systems generally reported in the literature. Overall, the experimental results suggest that the BFR be a potential alternative to the conventional packed-bed biofilters.

In limit equilibrium methods(LEM), all methods employ the same definition of the safety factor as a ratio of the shear strength of the soil to the shear stress required for equilibrium, employing certain assumptions with regard to equilibrium. In addition, in the conventional finite element method of analysis, the minimum safety factor is obtained assuming certain slip surfaces after the state of stress are found. Although the stress states are obtained from the finite element method(FEM), the slope stability analysis follows the conventional method that assumes a potential slip surface. In this study, a slope stability analysis based on FEM is developed to locate the slip surface by tracking the weakest points in the slope based on the local safety factor considering the magnitude and direction of the shear stresses. It has also been applied to be compared with the slip surfaces predicted by LEM. A computer program has been developed to draw contour lines of the local safety factors automatically. This method is illustrated through a simple hypothetical slope, a natural soil slope, and a dam slope. The developed method matches very well with the conventional LEM methods, with slightly lower global safety factors.

Steel Fiber Reinforced Wet-type Shotcrete improves the quality and stabilizes the tunnel by increasing the shear strength of the natural ground by constructing the concrete which attaches the fresh concrete to the predetermined position from the nozzle. The Steel Fiber Reinforced Wet-type Shotcrete improves and reinforces the strength and dynamic behavior characteristics of concrete to suppress the generation and growth of local cracks by increasing the tensile resistance ability. In addition, Steel Fiber Reinforced Wet-type Shotcrete is a shotcrete that improves tensile strength, bending strength, and crack resistance by dispersing discontinuous short steel fibers evenly in concrete. In this study, compressive strength test and bending strength test of shotcrete of NATM tunnel were measured and rebound reduction rate was measured by varying shotcrete putting pressure to 900 RPM, 1,000 RPM, and 1,100 RPM. Therefore, the data that can be applied to domestic NATM tunnel construction are presented.

Relaxation of high strength bolts was investigated. Block type and splice type specimens were fabricated with different types of bolts and different clamping lengths. Bolts were tightened to the specified torque. Clamping forces were measured through strain gauges installed on the shafts of bolts, while specimens were kept in a constant temperature and humidity. In all cases, ratio of clamping force reduction is less than 10%. Test results of different types of specimens and bolts and different clamping lengths were compared each other by using a simple model, which is suggested in this study for the estimation of bolt relaxation. The suggested model shows reasonably good agreements with test results for all cases. No difference is found between F13T and F10T bolts, but Dacro coated bolts shows higher relaxation than black bolts by approx. 30%. And also the comparison of test results shows that ratios of bolt relaxation become larger as clamping lengths of bolt shorter and the number of faying surfaces greater.

The tensile properties of the single crystal superalloy CMSX-4 were examined at various temperatures. In the heat-treated state, some portion of the eutectic γ-γ' remained, and a uniform cuboidal γ' particles existed across the entire material. The yield strength and tensile strength reached highest at 750℃ and decreased with raising testing temperature. The elongation was lowest at 650℃ due t℃oncentrated deformation near the fracture area. However, the elongation increased at higher temperatures due to uniform deformation throughout the entire specimen. Fracture surface analysis tested at 850℃ and 950℃ revealed that cracks originated from casting defects. TEM observations conducted after the tensile test indicated that the primary deformation mechanism at room temperature involved dislocation shearing within the γ' phase. However, the increased strength both at 750℃ where stacking faults generated and at 650℃ was caused by the increased resistance of γ' phase to dislocation. The strength decreased because the movement of dislocations became easier due to the thermal activation process at and above 850℃.

Determination of design parameters of composite ground including colluvial soil layer is far difficult because the maximum particle size of such a soil is remarkably large and particle distribution may vary from area to area. The stress-strain behavior of colluvial soils is in fact dependent upon the engineering characteristics at the boundary between coarse and fine materials. However, strength parameters are in general determined based on the characteristics of fine material, which causes an underestimation of such parameters. In this study, strength parameters of colluvial soil are evaluated by means of BIMROCK model curve. In addition, limit equilibrium analysis is carried out to verify the rational shear strength evaluation.

An experimental study for mesophase pitch prepared from coal tar pitch has been carried out to clarify the rheological behaviors in the molten state. The apparent viscosity, shear stress, shear rate, Qunoline insoluble(QI), and softening point(SP) change were investigated especially. The conditions to increase mesophase content during polymerization were heat treatment time of 5 hrs, catalyst concentration of 3% and reaction temperature of $420^{\circ}C$. Apparent viscosity change with increase in temperature of pitches was different according to the heat treatment conditions and apparent viscosity increased with increasing heat treatment temperature, heat treatment time, contents of mesophase, on the contrary, fluidity is decreased. Rheological behavior of molten mesophase pitches at about $270^{\circ}C$ showed Newtonian behavior below $375^{\circ}C$ and non-Newtonian behavior above $270^{\circ}C$, the flow behavior was analyzed with Casson model.

Interfacial properties and microfailure degradation mechanisms of the bioabsorbable composites fur implant materials were investigated using micromechanical technique and nondestructive acoustic emission (AE). As hydrolysis time increased, the tensile strength, the modulus and the elongation of poly(ester-amide) (PEA) and bioactive glass fibers decreased, whereas these of chitosan fiber almost did not change. Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between bioactive glass fiber and poly-L-lactide (PLLA) was much higher than PEA or chitosan fiber/PLLA systems using dual matrix composite (DMC) specimen. The decreasing rate of IFSS was the fastest in bioactive glass fiber/PLLA composites whereas that of chitosan fiber/PLLA composites was the slowest. AE amplitude and AE energy of PEA fiber decreased gradually, and their distributions became narrower than those in the initial state with hydrolysis time. In case of bioactive glass fiber, AE amplitude and AE energy in tensile failure were much higher than in compression. In addition, AE parameters at the initial state were much higher than those after degradation under both tensile and compressive tests. In this work, interfacial properties and microfailure degradation mechanisms can be important factors to control bioabsorbable composite performance.

최근 전 세계적으로 지진의 발생 빈도가 증가하며 그 규모도 점차 커지는 경향을 보이고 있다. 대형지진의 발생 시 저층 구조물의 붕괴로 인한 인명 및 사회, 경제적 피해가 두드러짐에 따라 기존 저층 구조물의 내진보강기법에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중인 추세이다. 우리나라의 경우 강도증가형 내진보강공법이 주를 이루고 있어 다양한 내진보강기법의 개발 및 적용이 필요한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진입력하중 저감형 내진보강기법으로서 강재댐퍼시스템을 제안하여 구조적 성능을 파악하고, 이를 적용한 보강 실험체와 비보강 실험체를 제작하여 정적가력실험을 통하여 그 성능을 비교하였다. 제안된 강재댐퍼시스템은 입력에너지를 소산시키는 내부의 슬릿형 댐퍼와 이를 지지하는 기둥 및 외부 프레임으로 구성되며, 내부 댐퍼는 먼저 항복하여 에너지를 소산시키기 위하여 지지기둥 및 프레임에 사용된 강재보다 강성 및 강도가 적게 계획되었다. 강재댐퍼의 성능실험 결과, 비교적 안정적 거동을 하며, 강성과 강도 및 에너지 흡수능력이 우수하게 나타났다. 보강 및 비보강 실험체의 골조는 기존 학교 건축물의 표준도면을 기준으로 하여 골조의 일부를 대상으로 60% 축소율을 적용하여 계획하였으며, 보강 실험체는 미리 제작된 강재댐퍼시스템을 골조 내에 설치하여 에폭시 주입법으로 부착시공 하였다. 보강 및 비보강 골조 실험체의 정적가력 실험결과 비보강 실험체는 기둥의 휨 항복 후 변형의 증가에 따라 휨 및 전단 균열이 증가하면서 최종적으로 기둥이 전단파괴 되었으며, 보강 실험체는 비보강 실험체에 비하여 기둥 및 보의 균열이 적고, 골조에 골고루 분포되어 파괴 규모가 감소하였다. 최대 강도면에서 보강 실험체는 비보강 실험체에 비하여 약 3.4배 우수하였으며, 초기강성은 약 7배 가량 유리한 것으로 평가되어 제안된 강재댐퍼시스템이 강도면에서 우수한 성능을 나타냄을 알 수 있었다. 또한 두 실험체의 기둥 주근 및 띠철근의 변형률을 비교한 결과, 비보강 실험체는 대부분의 철근이 항복하여 큰 변형을 일으킨 반면, 보강실험체에서는 철근의 항복현상이 나타나지 않았고 댐퍼가 항복을 하면서 큰 변형을 일으켰다. 이를 통해 지진하중 입력 시 댐퍼에서 입력 에너지를 흡수하여 큰 하중을 부담하며, 기존의 구조부재에는 입력 에너지가 낮아 손상이 보다 적게 발생함을 확인하였다.

Predicting the behavior of rheological polymers is highly shear rate- and temperature-dependent. The Cross-WLF viscosity model has become a powerful solution that describes the shear rate- and temperature-dependent characteristics. To estimate the behavior of polymers in computational simulations, the coefficients of the Cross-WLF model should be well identified. An identification technique was proposed to determine the Cross-WLF viscosity model coefficient. The assumption is that the Cross-WLF viscosity model well describes the real characteristics of polymers when the calculated viscosity with the parameters is identical to the reference data. In this study, Auto-desk Moldflow data were used as a reference. The numerical examples showed that the proposed method accurately identifies the Cross-WLF viscosity model coefficients.
