In the present investigation, the chloride ion penetration resistance of nuclear power plant concrete with varying water-to-cement ratios was assessed. A comparative analysis was conducted on concretes that do not incorporate supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash, using permanently decommissioned nuclear structures as a reference. The objective is to employ this acquired data as a fundamental resource for the evaluation of the residual service life of nuclear power plant structures in subsequent studies.

In this study, the diffusion characteristics were evaluated using the concrete mix design of nuclear safety-related structures. Among the concrete structures related to nuclear power safety, we selected the composition of intake and drainage structures that are immersed in seawater or located on the tidal platform and evaluated the chloride ion permeation resistance by compressive strength and electrical conductivity and the diffusion characteristics by immersion in salt water. analyzed. Compressive strength was measured on the 1st, 7th, 14th, 28th, 56th, and 91st days until the 91st day, which is the design standard strength of the nuclear power plant concrete structure, and chloride ion permeation resistance was evaluated on the 28th and 91st. After immersing the 28-day concrete specimens in salt water for 28 days, the diffusion coefficient was derived by collecting samples at different depths and analyzing the amount of chloride. As a result, it was found that after 28 days, the long-term strength enhancement effect of the nuclear power plant concrete mix with 20% fly ash replacement was higher than that of concrete using 100% ordinary Portland cement. It was also found that the nuclear power plant concrete mix has higher chloride ion permeation resistance, lower diffusion coefficient, and higher resistance to salt damage than the concrete mix using 100% ordinary Portland cement.

반응금속 침투법으로 제조한 $Al_2$O$_3$/Al 복합체의 파괴특성과 손상 내구성을 침투방향성에 따라 관찰하였으며, 복합체는 $Al_2$O$_3$단일상보다 향상된 파괴인성과 Al 단일상보다 높은 경도값을 나타내었다. Vickers 압입법을 사용한 복합체의 손상형태에서는 침투방향에 따른 각각의 미세구조에 의해 상이한 특성을 나타내었으며, 헤르찌안 압입법을 사용한 복합체의 손상거동은 $Al_2$O$_3$과 Al의 중간거동을 나타내었다. 헤르찌안 압입 후 강도저하시험으로 복합체가 갖는 우수한 결함저항성을 관찰할 수 있었으며, 높은 헤르찌안 하중에서는 복합체의 강도저하 특성이 복합체의 미세구조에 의존함을 관찰할 수 있었다. 이와 함께 복합체에서의 반응금속 침투방향성, 미세구조 그리고 손상 내구성 사이 상호연관성에 대해 논의하였다.

It has been well known that concrete structures exposed to acid and sulfate environments such as sewer, sewage and wastewater, soil, groundwater, and seawater etc. show significant decrease in their durability due to chemical attack. Such deleterious acid and sulfate attacks lead to expansion and cracking in concrete, and thus, eventually result in damage to concrete matrix by forming expansive hydration products due to the reaction between portland cement hydration products and acid and sulfate ions. Objectives of this experimental research are to investigate the effect of mineral admixtures on the resistance to acid and sulfate attack in concrete and to suggest high-resistance concrete mix against acid and sulfate attack. For this purpose, concretes specimens with three types of cement (ordinary portland cement (OPC), binary blended cement (BBC), and ternary blended cement (TBC) composed of different types and proportions of admixtures) were prepared at water-biner ratios of 32% and 43%. The concrete specimens were immersed in fresh water, 5% sulfuric acid, 10% sodium sulfate, and 10% magnesium sulfate solutions for 28, 56, 91, 182, and 365 days, respectively. To evaluate the resistance to acid and sulfate for concrete specimens, visual appearance changes were observed and compressive strength ratios and mass change ratios were measured. It was observed from the test results that the resistance against sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate solutions of the concretes containing mineral admixtures were much better than that of OPC concrete, but in the case of magnesium sulfate solution the concretes containing mineral admixtures was less resistant than OPC concrete due to formation of magnesium silicate hydrate (M-S-H) which is non-cementitious.

In order to efficient use of land and development of human, a lot of research on the utilization of underground space is being progress. For the smooth flow of traffic, in the case of mountainous terrain like our country, construction of the tunnel is rapidly increasing. The NATM method is used mainly in the domestic. And also, a lot of research for the NATM is underway, but aspects of the material are lacking. In this study, therefore, it is to evaluate the properties of durability according to mixing ratio and a kind of mineral admixture for the development of shotcrete performance by using the MATM.

An objective of this experimental research is to investigate the diffusion characteristics for chloride ion of concrete subjected to sulfate attack. For this purpose, concretes with three types of cement such as ordinary portland cement(OPC), binary blended cement(BBC), and ternary blended cement(TBC) containing mineral admixtures were made for water-binder ratios of 32% and 43%. The concrete specimens were immersed in sulfate solution for 365 days, and then the resistance against chloride ion penetration of them were estimated by using NT BUILD 492. It was observed from the test results that the resistance to chloride ion penetration of concrete subjected to sulfate attack was greatly decreased than that of standard curing concrete under the same age.

Electrical resistivity tomography was carried out at seawater intrusion monitoring wells located at watershed in coastal areas. It is difficult to identify the characteristics of resistivity near monitoring well in case of using high signalto-noise ratio array due to the high conductivity condition in coastal aquifer although electrical resistivity survey is well adopted to delineate hydrogeological characteristics with the distribution of electrical resistivity. To improve the quality of electrical resistivity survey for two sites with seawater intrusion monitoring wells, inversion with the results of holeto-surface electrical resistivity tomography using single well was executed. The results of inversion for aquifer near wells were verified with the results of drilling log with the informations of fracture, electrical conductivity logging and normal resistivity logging. The inversion for aquifer near one of two wells was also performed at low and high tide with the same electrodes, respectively. From the inversion result, it is possible to obtain the resistivity images with high resolution and to identify the characteristics of aquifer related to seawater intrusion with tidal fluctuation. From this study, it was demonstrated that the hole-to-surface electrical resistivity tomography method accompanied with drilling log, electrical conductivity logging and normal resistivity logging would be useful to delineate the hydrogeological structures near monitoring wells in coastal areas.

디지털 소자 구현에 가장 기본적인 조셉슨 접합의 특성 중 잘 알려진 특성이 아닌 자기장 하에서 접합의 거동을 살펴보았다. 자기장이 접합면에서 평행하게 걸린 경우에는 임계온도 이하에서도 어느 특정 온도에서 저항이 나타나는데 이는 그 때 접합을 투과하는 자속이 단자속의 정수배가 되는 경우에 해당함을 보였다. 이로부터 초전도 전극의 침투깊이의 크기와 온도의존성을 구할 수 있었다. 자기장이 접합면에 수직하게 걸린 경우에는 자기장이 볼텍스의 형태로 전극에 침투하여 전체접합을 볼텍스의 수로 나누는 역할을 함을 보였다. 이로써 자기장이 증가할수록 저항전이 폭이 증가함을 설명할 수 있었고 이는 고온초전도체의 거동을 이해하는 데에도 사용될 수 있음을 보였다.

The repair technique utilizing surface impregnant is widely used due to its simple construction procedures and economical benefit. Surface protection through this reparing technique cannot increase the bearing capacity of concrete members much but increase the durability performance and service life efficiently. In this study, fundamental tests such as water suction and permeation are performed for concrete specimens with several organic/inorgarnic impregnant and suitable impregnant is selected on the basis of the results. Finally, durability tests such as carbonation, freezing and thawing, and chloride attack are carried out for the concrete specimens with selected impregnant and it is experimentally verified that they have good resistance to deteriorations.
