Conventional designs of landfill covers use geosynthetics such as geomembrane and GCL, and clay liners to lower the permeability of final covers of landfill sites. However, differential settlement and the variation of temperature or humidity in landfill sites cause the development of cracks or structural damage inside the final cover. This study examined the application of a Self Recovering Sustainable Liner (SRSL) as an alternative landfill final cover material. SRSL consists of double layers, which have chemicals, can generate precipitates filling the pores of the layers by chemical reaction. The interface material forms an impermeable layer and in case of internal cracks, the reactants of the two layers migrate towards the crack and heal it by forming another liner. In this study the applicability of SRSL material for landfill final cover was examined by performing flexible wall permeameter tests to prove that the hydraulic conductivity is lower than the regulations and unconfined compression tests to judge whether the strength satisfies the restriction for the landfill final cover. Furthermore, the environmental impacts on the permeability and strength were evaluated. The experimental results show that the SRSL has lower hydraulic conductivity and higher strength than the regulations and is little influenced by climatic changes such as wet/dry or freeze/thaw process.

Three ground models are analyzed using a 1g shaking table and laminar shear box (LSB) to investigate the impact of the ground structure on seismic wave amplification during earthquakes. Multi-layer horizontal, embankment, and basin ground models are selected for this investigation, with each model being divided into dense and loose ground layers, Accelerometers are installed during the construction of each ground model to capture any seismic wave amplification owing th the propagation of an artificial seismic wave, sine wave sweep, and 10-Hz sine wave through a given ground model. The amplification of the tested seismic waves is analyzed using the observed peak ground acceleration and spectrum acceleration. The observed acceleration amplification in the multi-layer horizontal ground model is significantly higher the seismic waves that propagated across the dense ground-loose ground boundary compared with those that only propagated through the dense ground. Furthermore, the observed acceleration amplification gradually increases in the central part of the multi-layer embankment and basin models for the seismic waves that propagated across the dense ground-loose ground boundary.

The objective of this research is to observe the actual response of low-rise nonseismic moment-resisting infilled reinforced concrete frame subjected to varied levels of earthquake ground motions. First of all, the reduction scale for the model was determined as 1 : 5 considering the capacity of the shaking table to be used. This model was, then, subjected to the shaking table motions simulating Taft N21E component earthquake ground motions, whose peak ground accelerations(PGA`s) were modified to 0.12g, 0.2g, 0.3g, and 0.4g. The global behavior and failure mode were observed. The lateral accelerations and displacements at each story and local deformations at the critical portions of structure were measured. Before and after each earthquake simulation test, free vibration tests were performed to find the changes in the natural period of the model.

후방계단(backward facting step) 주위의 난류 유동 특성을 수치 해석을 통해 파악하고자 하였다. 지배방정식은 2차 정도의 유한 차분 기법으로 이산화하였으며 비교차격자계를 사용하여 양해법으로 계산하였다. 난류 모형으로는 이층 모형(two-layer)을 사용하였고 압력 Poisson 방정식을 이용하여 압력과 속도를 연성 시켰다. Re=44,000인 경우에 대해 계산 결과로 부터 후방 계단 뒤의 속도 벡터, 유선, 압력 및 속도 분포, 재부착 길이(reattachment length)등의 실험치와 비교하였다. 본 계산에 사용한 수치 해석 기법은 박리등이 포함된 복잡한 난류 유동 현상을 잘 재현할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Fracture behaviors of an interface crack in a ductile layer sandwiched by rigid substrates are analyzed by finite element method. Several fracture mechanisms and the corresponding criteria are examined. And the crack growth behavior and fracture toughness are predicted. As the results, various crack growth procedures such as the crack jump to the other interface on the opposite side, the creation of a new crack far from the initial crack front, and the asymmetric relation of fracture toughness vs. mode mixity ($J_c$-$\Phi$) can be successfully explained.

The objective of this study is to investigate the behavior of a 1/5-scale 3-story nonductile reinforced concrete frame subjected to earthquake excitation. For this purpose, Taft N21E earthquake accelerogram was simulated by using 3m${\times}$5m shaking table. When the input acceleration is compared to that of output, it can be found that simulation of shaking table is excellent. From the results of test with Taft N21E earthquake accelerogram adjusted to peak ground acceleration(PGA) 0.06g and 0.12g(maximum acceleration in korea seismic code) the model responded in elastic behavior and it is found that the existing building in our country are safe against the levels of PGA 0.06g and 0.12g.

전자 산업의 발달에 따라 전자 패키지에서 소자의 소형화 및 고집적화가 가속화되고 그로 인해 interconnection 부분의 신뢰성 평가의 중요성이 나날이 증가되고 있다. 특히 이러한 interconnection 부분 중 솔더 접합부는 사용중 솔더와 UBM(Under Bump Metallurgy) 층 사이에 금속간화합물이 생성되어 접합 강도가 저하되는 것이 큰 문제로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공정 Sn-Ag 솔더 접합부에 대해 열시효 시간에 따라 접합 강도를 측정하고 파괴 기구 및 파괴 경로의 분석을 통해 접합 강도 변화와의 연관성을 도출하고자 하였다. 그 결과 열시효 초기에는 미세 조직의 조대화 및 불균일 조대 성장이 가속화되면서 응력 및 변형 집중으로 인해 솔더 내부에서 연성 파괴가 일어나 급격한 접합 강도의 저하가 발생하였으나 금속간 화합물이 생성, 성장함에 따라 금속간 화합물 내부에서의 취성 파괴가 나타나면서 접합 강도 저하가 포화되는 경향을 보였다.

In this paper, we examine the dynamic electromechanical behavior of an edge crack in a piezoelectric ceramic layer bonded between two elastic layers under the combined anti-plane mechanical shear and in-plane electric transient loadings. We adopted both the permeable and impermeable crack boundary conditions. Fourier transforms are used to reduce the problem to the solution of two pairs of dual integral equations, which are then expressed to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Numerical values on the dynamic energy release rate are presented to show the dependences upon the geometry, material combination, electromechanical coupling coefficient and electric field.

Interfacial properties and microfailure modes or electrodeposition(ED) treated carbon fiber reinforced polyetherimide(PEI) toughened epoxy composites were investigated using microdroplet test. ED was performed to improve the interfacial shear strength(IFSS). As PEI content increased, IFSS increased due to enhanced toughness and plastic deformation of PEI. In the untreated cafe, IFSS Increased with adding PEI content, and IFSS of pure PEI matrix showed the highest. On the other hand, thor ED-treated case IFSS increased with PEI content with rather low improvement rate. In the untreated case, neat epoxy resin appeared brittle microfailure mode, whereas pure PEI matrix exhibited more likely ductile microfailure mode. In the ED-treated case, neat epoxy exhibited more ductile fracture compared to the untreated case. Interfacial properties of epoxy-PEI composite can be affected efficiently by both the control of matrix toughness and ED treatment.

현대사회에서 화재에 의한 물적 피해는 물론 인적피해가 현저하게 증가하고 있으며 희생자의 사망원인이 종래에는 화재시 발생한 열에 의한 화상을 중심으로 하는 소사였지만, 최근에는 화염보다 독성가스로 인하여 사망하는 경우가 많아졌고, 희생자는 거의 화상을 확인할 수 없거나 화상자이더라도 혈액 중에서 일산화탄소를 중심으로 한 유독가스가 확인되기 때문에 이들 유독가스의 흡입으로 인하여 행동불능상태 이후 열의 영향으로 사망한 것으로 추정되는 사례가 증가하는 추세이다. 따라서 대규모 건축물에 있어서는 화재발생시 유독가스가 건물 전체로 연소 확대되는 것을 방지하기 위하여 넓은 면적을 일정한 면적으로 구획하거나 계단실 등과 다른 부분 또는 층별 등으로 구획하고 있으며, 국내의 방화구획은 크게 다른 층으로 화재전파를 막기 위한 층간 방화구획, 연소면적을 제한하기 위한 면적별 방화구획, 다른 용도로 인한 화재 위험성 감소를 위해 용도별 방화구획으로 3가지를 법에서 채택하고 있다. 방화구획은 방화문 또는 자동방화셔터를 이용하거나, 내부구조의 바닥, 벽, 각종 방화문으로 구획할 것을 정하고 있다.(피난방화규칙 제14조) 본 연구에서는 철제방화셔터 대체용으로 직물방화셔터용의 실리카 소재를 이용하여 제직한 직물에 내열/차연 기능성 코팅의 공정 조건을 변화하여 최종 방화시험을 거치기 전 내열성 테스트중 하나인 불꽃열 통과량 실험을 실행하여 방화 직물의 내열성을 비교 분석하였다. 이러한 결과를 토대로 본 연구는 고내열/차연성 방화 제품 기술을 개발하는데 필요한 연구를 수행하는데 목적이 있다.
