Objectives: The objectives of this study are to research the usage characteristics of asbestos-containing building materials and to conduct exposure risk assessment by applying no. 2016-230 "Methods of Risk Assessment of Asbestos-Containing Buildings" from the Ministry of Environment. Methods: One hundred buildings located in the Seoul and Gyeonggi-Incheon area were chosen, with 29 in Seoul, 20 in Incheon, and 51 in Gyeonggi-do Province. The year of construction was divided between three buildings in the 1970s, 11 buildings in the 1980s, 42 buildings in the 1990s, and 44 buildings in the 2000s. The bulk samples were analyzed by using a polarizing microscope after a pre-process using a stereomicroscope in a hood with an HEPA filter. This study defined ACMs(asbestos-containing materials) as asbestos when the content percentage was over 1% in the analysis result. Methods and standards of risk assessment of asbestos-containing building materials were conducted by refering to no. 2016-230 "Method of Risk Assessment of Asbestos-Containing Buildings" from the Ministry of Environment. The risk of exposure to ACMs was rated by a score based on three categories(high, middle, low risk of asbestos exposure). Results: In this study, 30 of the 100 buildings and 36 of the 416 bulk samples(8.6%) were found to have had asbestos. Asbestos was detected at a high rate, in 18 out of 42, in buildings constructed in the 1990s and at the lowest rate(7 out of 44) for buildings constructed in the 2000s. As a result of the evaluation according to no. 2016-230 "Method of Risk Assessment of Asbestos-Containing Buildings" of the Ministry of Environment, the risk assessment level of two asbestos-containing building materials was found to be "Medium", and 28 buildings materials were found to be at the "Low" level. Conclusion: As asbestos is regulated by the government, it is required to conduct active management and implemention by introducing methods of risk assessment of asbestos exposure that are supported by data from various situations. In the case of buildings owned by individuals, building owners should be aware of the risk of exposure to asbestos.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of balance ability on aging by measuring balance ability of elderly females whose age is over 65. The subjects are ten elderly women (the mean age: 71.9) able to walk without assistants, the assistant equipments and drug dependence and ten young healthy women (the mean age: 23.2). We measured stability index (ST), Fourier index (F), weight distribution (WD), weight distribution index (WDI), synchronization index (SI) and fall index (FI) by using Tetrax (Tetra-ataxiometric Posturography). In result, STs and Fs at the low frequency region (F1) represented the significant difference between two groups at all postures with PO (pillow with eye open) exception (p<.01). Fs at the other frequency regions (F2~F8) represented the significant difference between two groups (p<.05). WDI of the elderly women represented the higher values than the young women at all postures but there are the significant difference at PO and PC (pillow with eye closed) only. These results may be due to age-related ability decline of somatesthesia, vestibular organ, central nervous system.

In Korea-LTPP(Long Tenn Pavement Performance) project, the full depth asphalt pavement test sections are constructed on the national highway to evaluate the structural capacity of asphalt pavement reinforced with glass fiber. Truck loading test and FWD test were performed to measure the structural capacity of test sections. Test results showed that the reinforcement of glass fiber installed at between surface and intermediate asphalt layer decreased the strain at the bottom of surface layer and moved up the stress neutral axis in asphalt layer. As a result, the tensile stress was developed at the bottom of intermediate asphalt layer of reinforced asphalt pavement, while the compressive stress was developed at the bottom of intermediate asphalt layer of unreinforced asphalt pavement. On the other hand, the tensile strain at the bottom of asphalt base layer didn't show a difference between glass fiber reinforced and unreinforced pavements. From the FWD test, it was shown that the surface deflection of asphalt pavement reinforced with glass fiber decreased 24 percents comparing to that of unreinforced asphalt pavement. This shows that the reinforcement with glass fiber appears to improve the rutting resistance of asphalt pavement.

There has been a significant increase in the amount of research on reducing the lighting power consumption of buildings and also an increasing demand for technological development. Light shelf has been recognized as one of the most efficient solutions to this issue and related researches have been conducted, which have mostly focused on factors related to simple light shelves and are not suitable as an appropriate basis for the design of light shelves. Thus this study aims to establish the proper design basis for light shelves by evaluating the performance of shelves per reflection rate in indoor areas. Power consumption rate and indoor illumination intensity distribution of a testbed built based on actual living conditions were calculated for the performance evaluation, of which the results are as following: 1) Reduction of reflection rate of ceiling and walls caused average illumination intensity in summer, winter and median seasons, and evenness per reflection rate of indoor areas was found to be different in summer, winter and median seasons, making it a necessary consideration for designing light shelves. 2) Calculation of power consumption from lighting control showed that a high reflection rate of indoor areas may be suitable for power consumption reduction, and that reflection rates higher than 80% for ceilings and higher than 75% for walls in terms of the efficiency of researches on the indoor reflection rate and its application would be appropriate. This study is meaningful as the research focuses on light shelves based on considering indoor environmental factors. More studies will be required that consider a variety of factors.

In this paper, structural integrity evaluation of reactor pressure vessel bottom head without penetration nozzles in core melting accident has been performed. Considering the analysis results of thermal load, weight of molten core debris and internal pressure, thermal load is the most significant factor in reactor vessel bottom head. The failure probability was evaluated according to the established failure criteria and the evaluation showed that the equivalent plastic strain results are lower than critical strain failure criteria. Thermal-structural coupled analyses show that the existence of elastic zone with a lower stress than yield strength is in the middle of bottom head thickness. As a result of analysis, the elastic zone became narrow and moved to the internal wall as the internal pressure increases, and it is evaluated that the structural integrity of reactor vessel is maintained under core melting accident.

농업으로부터의 비점오염은 지표수와 지하수 모두의 수질에 영향을 미친다. 특히, 비료, 퇴비, 농약 등의 인공적 질소가 살포된 토양은 강우시 화학 침출로 인한 수질오염이 발생되고 있다. 강우시 강우유출수와 함께 지표 수역으로 흘러들어오는 영양물질(질소, 인)은 저수지로 유입되어 침수시 작물이 죽게 되어 저수지의 부영양화 등의 수질 오염문제를 야기시킨다. 국내에서는 홍수조절용지에서의 영농활동의 전면 금지하고 있는 실정이지만, 불법적으로 경작활동이 진행되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 다목적댐 홍수조절지 내 경작지 토양 및 양분 특성 평가를 수행하였다. 홍수조절지 내 경작지 토양 특성 및 양분 조사를 위하여 경작이 집중적으로 이루어지고 있는 대청호 지역을 모니터링 지점으로 선정하였다. 모니터링은 경작지 내 토양 시료 및 주변 토양을 채취하여 분석을 수행하였다. 채취한 토양은 토양표준분석법(농촌진흥청, 2012) 및 농업토양분석방법(국립산림과학원, 2014) 기준을 바탕으로 물리 화학적 분석을 수행하였다. 모니터링은 2018년 5월부터 수행되었으며 현재까지 월 1회씩 모니터링을 진행하고 있다. 연구 결과, 밭 경작지 토양은 논에 비해 실트질 함량이 절반으로 침투성이 높은 토양으로 분석되었으며, 영양염류의 침투를 통한 이동 가능(기저유출)이 높게 나타나는 것으로 조사되었다. 이는 중간유출 및 기저유출 저감방안 도입이 필요한 것으로 평가되었다. 작물별 토양 양분분석 결과 고추, 마늘, 담배 경작지에서 화학비료사용량이 타 작물에 비해 높은 것을 분석되었으며, 경작지에 화학비료 및 퇴비의 과다 사용으로 염류농도가 증가할 경우 전기전도도가 높아지며 토양의 삼투압을 증가시켜 물의 흡수와 각종 양분 흡수를 방해하는 것으로 평가되었다. 인의 존재 형태별 비교시 대부분의 경작지에서 높은 값을 보였으며, 특히 경작지 토양의 Residual-P의 농도가 원지반 보다 2~5배 정도 높게 나타났다. 이러한 원인은 퇴비의 사용으로 인한 Residual-P의 누적으로 평가되며, 환경변화에 따라 수층으로 인의 용출이 쉽게 발생하므로 향후 수질에 미치는 영향이 더 클 것으로 사료된다.

The influence of heat-moisture treatment (HMT) and substitution of rice flour containing different amylose contents on the quality characteristics of rice noodles was investigated. HMT was applied to rice flours with 21% moisture content at 100 and 105$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. Three rice cultivars were used, including high amylose of Goami (GM) and intermediate amylose of Choochung (CC) as domestic rice flours and imported rice of Taeguk (TG) as a control. HMT and substitution of rice flour with different amylose contents affected the cooking and texture quality of rice noodles. When rice noodles were made of intermediate amylose rice flour with HMT, cooking properties improved with decreased cooking loss and cooking water turbidity and thus were closer to those of control. Especially, the hardness, adhesiveness, tensile strength, and darkness of rice noodles notably increased when HMT rice flour was used. Based on the results of quantitative descriptive analysis for selected rice noodles, the noodles made of HMT CC at 105$^{\circ}C$ (CC105) had high scores for resilience and adhesiveness and low scores for hardness compared with imported commercial rice noodles and other experimental noodles such as TG, HMT GM100, TG+CC, and TG+CC105. In conclusion, rice noodles were made of composite flours containing high amylose and intermediate amylose contents or HMT intermediate amylose content rice flour.
