Recently, difficulties in soft ground improvement that caused by effectiveness of the ground improvement, the durability and environmentally friendliness of the injection material come to the fore. This paper studies the field applicability of the SCM in reinforcement and seepage cutoff of the back of an existing continuous wall. SCM uses double rod which imposes heavy pressure($10-100kgf/cm^2$) to disturbed, cut, discharge, and mix the ground. It is observed that a bulb is formed by using cement paste and environmentally friendly injection materials with minimal alkali leaching. Unconfined compression test and fish poison tests are performed. Test results indicate that the method results in higher durability, less leaching through use of the environmentally friendly injection material, and faster mobilization of the strength. In addition, field tests confirm the formation of the bulb and the seepage cutoff wall.

Carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminates can be used more efficiently in strengthening applications by applying prestress to the CFRP laminates. A key problem for prestressing with CFRP laminates is anchoring the laminates. These may include fracture to the CFRP laminates due to excessive gripping force or slippage of the CFRP laminates out of the anchorage zone caused by low friction between the anchor device and the lamiantes. The main objective of this study is the development of an applicative mold-type anchorage system for prestressed CFRP laminates through experimental study. The experimental parameters were the type of anchorage detail and the effect of surface treatment. The test results showed that the developed anchor assures 100% CFRP laminate strength.

This experimental study compared polymer cement mortar with inorganic polymer binder mortar for physical properties by Si/Al mol ratio change of inorganic polymer binder. As the result of this experiment, We found that when Si/Al mol ratio goes up flexural strength and compressive strength increases but workability becomes worse. And according to the keeping them for 28 days we found that physcal property becomes worse when Si/Al mol ratio is larger than 2.61. When Si/Al mol ratio of inorganic polymer binder is from 2.43 to 2.61 compressive strength increases than over 32% after keeping for 7 days and over12 % for 28 days

Concrete filled steel tubes(CFST) is considered as a column having better structural stability and better performance of fire resistance than that made with H-section and hollow section in itself. To get the fire resistance of the CFST, two kinds of concrete strength were used, 21 MPa, 40 MPa and 4 sorts of the applied loads were calculated and used to the specimens such as 3.5 m long, round and rectangular section. After various fire tests under 4 sorts of load ratios, the fire resistance of the CFST is not possible to get over 1 hour because of the rapid decrease of concrete strength. The below 50% of the applied load is recommended to obtain over 1 hour fire resistance of the CFST.

The purposes of this study is to secure subsidence stability and economical efficiency of lightweight foamed concrete. The composition of lightweight foamed concrete was designed for OPC by substituting with constant contents of calcium sulfaluminate and fly ash. It is found that the flow of lightweight foamed concrete decreased with early ettringite formation by CSA. The initial strength increased with the decrease of drying time of lightweight foamed concrete when CSA was substitution to 10%. The settlement deep of foamed concrete improved the settlement stability by replacing CSA, which prevented shortening of the coagulation time and bubble puffing.

전 세계적으로 기후변화 및 산업화로 인해 대규모 홍수, 가뭄, 폭염, 산불 등의 재해가 빈번하게 발생하고 있으며, 이러한 재해 및 재난을 조기에 발견하고 최소화를 위한 대응 체계 및 관리방안의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 자연재해들의 특징은 추가 재해를 유발할 수 있다는 것으로 재해의 강도가 증가할 뿐만 아니라 여러 가지 재난 및 재해를 동시에 유발하는 형태로 변화하기 때문에, 단일자연재해 평가 기술을 바탕으로 복합자연재해에 대한 분석 및 감지가 진행되어야 한다. 최근 기후변화로 인한 기상 패턴의 변화 및 가뭄 발생빈도의 증가가 뚜렷하며, 국외에서는 폭염과 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해로 'Flash Drought'로 정의된 돌발가뭄에 대한 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 폭염과 가뭄은 단순 강우 부족으로 인한 가뭄, 높은 기온으로 인한 폭염 등이 서로 독립적으로 발생하는 경우와 강우부족과 폭염의 지속으로 인한 상호연관성이 존재하는 복합자연재해 등으로 구분할 수 있다. 돌발가뭄은 강수 부족 또는 폭염이 지속되거나 강도가 높아질 경우, 지면온도가 상승하여 토양수분이 필요 이상으로 증발하여 단기간에 발생하는 초단기 가뭄으로 복합자연재해에 해당하며, 이러한 돌발가뭄은 농업분야에서 작물 생장 및 영농기 활동에 큰 영향을 미치기 때문에 모니터링 및 감지 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 수문기상학적 요소를 활용하여 폭염 및 가뭄을 고려한 복합자연재해에 대한 상관분석을 수행하였다. 기상청에서 제공하는 기상자료(일최고기온/평균기온/최저기온, 강수량, 상대습도, 일조량 등)에 대한 전국 76개소 대상 기상자료를 구축하였으며, Sentinel, Landsat, MODIS(Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) 등과 같은 위성영상 자료를 구축하여 폭염과 가뭄에 대한 각각의 인자를 선정하고 상관 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 향후 복합자연재해 감지 및 예측 기술 개발에 활용하여 재해 예방 및 대응에 대한 기초자료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a rare malignant cutaneous tumor primarily located in the head and neck. We report the imaging features of pathologically confirmed MCC in the trunk. On US, MCC showed heterogeneous echogenicity with perpendicular hypoechoic linear bands that resembled "columns of smoke" in the skin and subcutaneous layers as well as prominent vascularity. On MRI, the tumor showed hypointensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on proton density and T2-weighted images with linear low-signal bands in the skin and subcutaneous layers as well as intense enhancement on T1-enhanced images. Although MCC has nonspecific imaging features, these characteristics may be helpful for the early diagnosis of this disease.

In this study, reinforced concrete slabs with steps were experimentally studied to analyze their structural performance and to suggest reinforcing details in the step. Because the stepped slabs may behave very poorly in terms of bending strength, stiffness, deflection, cracking, etc., the study is aimed to suggest proper reinforcing details such that the same bending strength is obtained as that without steps. The bending strengths of 12 test specimens with a variety of different reinforcing detail types or other parameters were compared with each other. The specimen without any additional reinforcement in the step had a very low bending strength and significant damage, and the specimens with diagonal reinforcements in the step showed substantial early cracks, experienced hinging of the step, and had a substantial loss of the bending strength. In contrast, the specimens with a combination of U-bars, reversed U-bars, L-bars, and reversed L-bars performed very well and almost reached to 100% of the slab bending strength. The U-bars and reversed U-bars were effective in controling the diagonal cracks, while the L-bars and reversed L-bars were effective in preventing from yielding of slab reinforcement near the step.

Recently, underground spaces have been developed variously due to the concentration of the building structure in downtown area and reconstruction of the apartment. However, various problems such as differential settlement are occurring in the waterproof and reinforcement construction. In grouting method, which is frequently used for the ground reinforcement, quality control was performed by measuring the injection quantity of grouting materials and performing laboratory tests using boring samples, but it is difficult to determine whether the ground reinforcement has been performed properly during the construction stage. In order to solve this problem, a research is needed to carry out quality control by measuring electric resistivity after grouting is performed using grouting materials mixed with conductive materials. In this research, as a basic study of the new grouting method using conductive materials, uniaxial compression tests were performed using cement specimen with 0, 3, 5, 7% of carbon fiber to evaluate the effect of conductive material on the performance of grouting material. Based on the test results, the uniaxial compressive strength is increased with the mixed proportion of the carbon fiber increase. Furthermore, the carbon fiber can also affect on the early-strength of the grouting materials.

Due to the Four Major Rivers Restoration Project, Nakdong River Estuary Barrage's designed flood quantity has been largely increased, and this has caused to construct several drainage gates at the right side of Eulsukdo island to secure the safety of downstream river area. For successful functioning of Nakdong River Estuary Barrage, such as flood control, disaster prevention, and the securing of sufficient water capacity, drainage gates at the both sides of island have to operate systematically and reliably. To manage this under restricted personnel and resources, we have implemented the IOS (Integrated Operation System) by integrating previous facilities and resources via information and communication technologies. The IOS has been designed to have higher availability and fault tolerance to function continuously even with the partial system's failure under the emergency situation like flood. Operators can use the system easily and acknowledge alarms of facilities through its IWS (Integrated Warning System) earlier. Preparing for Integrated Water Resources Management and Smart Water Grid, the architecture of IOS conformed to open system standards which will be helpful to link with the other systems easily.
