With the development of cities, the density of the population is continuously increasing as buildings become larger and more high-rise, but since the Haeundae residential complex fire in Busan in 2010, there has been a growing need to meet the fire protection performance of buildings as large-scale fires continue to occur every year. On the other hand, fire doors, which are one of the fire protection performance of buildings, have been judged unqualified in 82% of cases when fire doors constructed on the actual site were inspected after completion. The reason for this is that paper honeycomb and glasswool, which are used as core materials for fire doors, absorb moisture, reducing thermal insulation performance, and sagging due to increased weight, leading to performance degradation due to warping in empty spaces. To overcome these problems, research is underway to apply lightweight aerated concrete, an inorganic material, as a core material. Therefore, in order to select a blowing agent that produces stable bubbles prior to the production of lightweight bubble concrete for application as a fire door inner core, this study examined the physical performance according to the type of blowing agent and dilution concentration, and the following conclusions were drawn. Compared to vegetable bubbles and independent bubbles, synthetic bubbles have 3~8% higher thermal conductivity than independent bubbles, but 3~6% lower slurry density than vegetable bubbles, and 2~13% higher compressive strength, which is thought to be an improvement of synthetic bubbles.

Fire doors installed to prevent the spread of fire in buildings are made of paper honeycomb, glass wool, and other materials. Due to their high water absorption rate, they absorb ambient moisture and degrade, and their increased weight causes them to sag internally, creating voids that can warp in the event of a fire and allow flames to pass through. To overcome these issues, research is being conducted on the physical performance of lightweight aerated concrete. However, there is a lack of research on how to ensure fire resistance. Therefore, in this study, the backside temperature of lightweight aerated concrete formulations was measured and compared and analyzied with the physical performance. Since it is difficult to achieve low density by saturation alone, aerated concrete with EPS was produced, which resulted in a density reduction of 24'26%, but the strength increase per unit cement increase was 5'25%, which tended to be lower than the formulation without EPS. The results showed that the lightweight aerated concrete with EPS was 130~140℃ lower than the lightweight aerated concrete with EPS, which is believed to be due to the melting point of EPS delayed the heat diffusion. In the future, wo plan to conduct research to identify the optimal formulation for fire door core materials by varying the amount of EPS added and using industrial by-products to increase long-term strength.

A fishway is an artificial waterway or device used to resolve difficulties in the movement of fish in a river. Most existing fishways are made of concrete and emit toxic substances, which has a negative impact on the river environment. Accordingly, there is a need to develop fishway construction technology that is eco-friendly and can increase movement efficiency. The technology presented in this study is an integrated porous structure that combines the aggregate with a biopolymer material extracted from castor oil, a non-toxic material. It is a fishway construction technology using eco-friendly materials that can allow vegetation to grow on the surface. In this study, an eco-friendly fishway mixed with biopolymer and aggregate was built on a real scale and the fish movement efficiency was tested and analyzed. As a result of the experiment, a total of 201 fish of 14 species were released with tags inserted, and the detection rate of released fish was confirmed to be 82.6% on average. A total of 40 fish of 6 species were transported upstream through the fishway, and the average passage rate was confirmed to be 21.7%. As a result of checking the circadian migration pattern, it was found that all fish mainly migrate during the day. It was confirmed that there was no significant functional difference between a fishway using biopolymer and a concrete fishway. It is believed that a fishway using biopolymer can be used as a replacement for a concrete fishway.

The goal of this research was evaluating and suggesting the solution of preventing carbonation of concrete replaced high-volume of slag. The concrete mixtures were prepared with high-volume slag and recycled aggregate, and the concrete samples were evaluated the carbonation depth with various surface treatment methods. For various surface treatment methods and surface protecting sheets, bonding strength and carbonation depth were measured. Basically, from the results, the carbonation of concrete was completely prevented with any type of surface treatment method and surface protecting sheet as far as the surface treatment materials were remained. Therefore, in this research, it was known and suggested that the easiness of handling and sufficient bonding performance was much important than the quality of surface protecting sheets.

A spalling is defined as the damages of concrete exposed to high temperature during the fire by causing cracks and localized bursting of small pieces of concrete. It is reported that spalling is caused by the vapor pressure and polypropylene(PP) fiber has an important role in protecting from spalling. The characteristics of fire resistance of high-strength reinforced concrete columns with various concrete strength and various contents of PP fiber were investigated in this study. In results, the ratio of unstressed residual strength of columns increases as the concrete strength increases and the ratio of unstressed residual strength of columns exposed to fire decreases as the content of PP fiber increases from 0% to 0.2%.

최근 이산화탄소(Carbon Dioxode, CO₂) 배출량 증가로 인하여 지구온난화와 같은 기후변화 문제가 심각한 사회 문제로 대두되고 있다. 이에 따라 2015년 12월 12일 프랑스 파리에서 열린 제21차 유엔기후변화협약에서 교토의정서를 대체하는 파리협정(Paris Agreement)을 채택하였으며, 국내에서는 이러한 국제사회의 기후변화 대응에 동참하고 온실가스 감축을 이행하기 위한 2050 탄소중립 정책을 추진하였다. 이산화탄소를 다량으로 발생시키는 철강·산업·건설·에너지 분야 중건설 분야에서 배출되는 이산화탄소는 전체 배출량의 19.9%로 특히 시멘트를 제조하는 과정에서 많은 양의 이산화탄소가 배출되고 있다. 기존의 건설 분야 에서는 이산화탄소를 저감하기 위해 콘크리트 배합 또는 양생과정에서 챔버 내 이산화탄소를 가스 형태로 주입하여 탄산화 반응을 통해 콘크리트 내부에 이산화탄소를 영구히 저장시키고자 하였다. 그러나 이는 챔버 사용, 양생조건 등 적용 조건이 제한적이며, 콘크리트 내 이산화탄소 흡수 효율이 높지 않아 이를 개선할 수 있는 기술이 필요하다. 이를 개선하기 위해 최근에는 콘크리트 배합수 내 이산화탄소를 용해시켜 배합과정에서 콘크리트 내부로 이산화탄소를 강제로 인입시키는 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 그러나 콘크리트 배합수로 사용되고 있는 일반물이나 지하수의 경우 가압을 하여도 약 1,400mg/L의 이산화탄소를 용해시키며, 가압을 통해 용해된 이산화탄소는 쉽게 대기 중으로 방출되는 한계점을 지니고 있어 현장에서 사용하기 어려운 문제가 있다. 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해서 본 연구에서는 200nm 이하의 크기를 가지는 나노버블기술을 이용해 압력을 가하지 않은 상태에서 수중에 이산화탄소를 용해시킬 수 있는 시스템을 개발하고자 한다. 나노버블기술을 이용한 수중 이산화탄소용해 시스템을 통해 수중에 이산화탄소를 용해시켜 콘크리트 배합수로 활용하기 위한 기초 연구가 될 것으로 판단된다.
