When a train enters into a tunnel, a compression wave is generated by a front nose and a expansion wave is generated by a rear tail respectively. The interaction between pressure waves and the train makes the internal and external pressure of the train change dramatically. In this paper, we had measured the internal and external pressure variations of TTX and analyzed the pressure variations as the tunnel length. Also, the rate of internal pressure variations were investigated with the current airtight condition of TTX. In short tunnels, the internal and external pressure variation were not large because the superposition of pressure waves was not happened. In long tunnels, however, the rapid and large pressure variations were shown because of the superpositions between the same sort of pressure waves, such as expansion wave and expansion wave or compression wave and compression wave. In specific length tunnels, the pressure variation and the pressure variation rates were largely lessened because the compression wave and expansion wave were superposed.

Surfactant adsorption by two montmorillonite types with different interlayer cations of Ca and Na was characterized by examining the time dependence of surfactant behavior on the clay surfaces. Surfactants with different micelle concentration were conducted in our experiment to observe a nonequilibrium activity of cationic surfactant on the clay over reaction periods ranging from 0.1 min to 11 days. As compared with Ca-montmorillonite (SAz), a more active intrusion of surfactant molecules into the interlayers was found in Na-montmorillonite (SWy). During a short 'initiation' stage, the basal spacing of SWy montmorillonite increased rapidly with logarithmic time. For SAz montmorillonite, however, the abrupt basal spacing increase occurred at the later stage of the reaction. From the result, the difference in the adsorption behavior exhibited by the two montmorillonite types partly results from their intrinsic nature, that is, inorganic cations originally existing on the clay surfaces. Additionally, the micelle concentration of surfactants affects the development of organo-montmorillonite, especially, in the intercalant formation and stabilization under nonequilibrium.

This study explores the performance of pile foundations in highly expansive soil, incorporating magnesium oxide-based refractory materials. A controlled model chamber, housing a fixed pile, was utilized to induce ground expansion through fused magnesia (FM). The investigation focused on measuring the vertical displacement of FM-sand mixtures and the axial load on the pile in relation to depth and time. The study varied the amount of FM content (FM_c) at 30%, 50%, and 70%. The upward movement exhibited an augmentation with increasing FM_c, tapering off with depth as accumulation progressed toward the mixture surface. Compression and tensile forces were both evident along the pile for FM_c at 30% and 50%, while only a tensile force was observed at an FM_c of 70%. These results offer valuable insights for the analysis of pile behavior within FM-sand mixtures.

The cordierite is of great interest for microelectronic packaging. Its main advantages are low dielectric constant and low thermal expansion. The cordierite precursor obtained by sol-gel synthesis whose sintering temperature is about $900^{circ}C$ is an amorphous and cristal white powder. Green and fired cordierite samples were studied by XPS for microscopic properties. At the surface the results of XPS show forte diminution of Mg in comparison with its value at volume and the deficit of Mg compensates by augmentation of Al and Si. $pi$-cordierite phase is present near the surface $<100{\AA}$ and small quantities of magnesium aluminate ($MgAl_2O_4) is present in the bulk. Sintering of the green cordierite introduces no chemical modification at the surface.

This paper discusses the surface roughness of corroded reinforcement rebar in reinforced concrete structures focusing on the quantitative measurement technique for rebar corrosion. Reinforcement rebar was corroded using accelerated corrosion induced method and corrosion rates were 0%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, and 10% of mass losses. Using 3-dimensional scanner each surface profile of reinforcement rebar was established, and surface roughness was measured. Through tests and analyses of corroded reinforcement rebar, the following topics were particularly discussed: measurement of surface roughness, relationship between area and surface roughness, relationship between surface roughness and bond performance. As a result, surface roughness of corroded rebar was found to be very effective to bond strength until 2% of corrosion rate. It was also discussed how to relate surface roughness of corroded rebar to bond strength of reinforced concrete structures.

In concrete, the interface between the aggregate and cement paste is often the most critical factor in determining strength, representing the weakest zone. Lightweight aggregate, produced through expansion and firing of raw materials, features numerous surface pores and benefits from low density; however, its overall aggregate strength is compromised. Within concrete, diminished aggregate strength can lead to aggregate fracture. When applying lightweight aggregate to concrete, the interface strength becomes critical due to the potential for aggregate fracture. This study involved coating the surface of the aggregate with blast furnace slag fine powder to enhance the interfacial strength of lightweight aggregate. The impedance of test specimens was measured to analyze interface changes resulting from this surface modification. Experimental results revealed a 4% increase in compressive strength following the coating of the lightweight aggregate surface, accompanied by an increase in resistance values within the impedance measurements corresponding with strength enhancement.

Spalling of concrete occurs due to vapor pressure ignited explosion, temperature difference across a section, and combination of these factors. Factors affecting spalling can be classified into internal and external factors such as material property and environmental condition, respectively, have to be considered to precisely understand spalling behavior. An external environmental factor such as differences in heating rate cause internal humidity cohesion and different vapor pressure behavior. Therefore, spalling property, vapor pressure and thermal strain property were measured from concrete with compressive strengths of 30 MPa, 50 MPa, 70 MPa, 90 MPa, and 110 MPa, applied with ISO-834 standard heating curve of $1^{\circ}C/min$ heating rate. The experimental results showed that spalling occurred when rapid heating condition was applied. Also, when concrete strength was higher, the more cross section loss from spalling occurred. Also, spalling property is influenced by first pressure cancellation effect of thermal expansion caused by vapor pressure and heating rates.

This paper discusses the surface roughness of corroded reinforcement rebar-in-coil focusing on the quantitative measurement technique using 3D scanner. Reinforcement rebar-in-coil was stacked in site for 0 day, 3 days, 7 days, 14 days and 21 days. And rebar-in-coil was corroded 0.04%, 0.3367%, 0.6157%, 0.7898%, and 1.1965% respectively. Using 3-dimensional scanner, each surface profile of reinforcement rebar-in-coil was established, and surface roughness was measured. Through the tests and analyses of corroded rebar-in-coil, the increase of fractal dimension for each rebar-in-coil was measured as 0.0216, 0.0235, 0.028, 0.0319, and 0.0455 for different stacked periods. Therefore, surface assessment technique using fractal dimension showed similar results with the actual corrosion rate.

팔라듐-구리 합금 분리막은 세륨산화물로 전처리된 다공성 니켈 지지체 위에 마그네트론 스퍼터 공정과 구리리플로우 공정에 의해 제조되었다. 스퍼터 공정은 얇고 치밀한 팔라듐 합금 분리막 증착을 위해 아주 효과적이다. 본 연구에서는 고온 스퍼터 공정에 의해 증착된 팔라듐 상부에 유동성과 열적확산이 우수한 구리를 코팅한 후, 반도체 분야에서 기가 패턴 매립시 사용하는 구리리플로우 공정을 도입하였다. 구리리플로우 공정은 치밀하고 미세기공이 존재하지 않는 표면을 구현하고 무한대의 수소 투과도를 가능하게 한다. 이로써 마그네트론 스퍼터에 의해 $200^{\circ}C$에서 팔라듐과 구리를 순차적으로 코팅한 후, $700^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 구리리플로우 공정을 실시하여 $7.5{\mu}m$ 두께의 팔라듐-구리 합금 분리막이 제조되었다. 세륨산화물(CeO2)은 고온에서 장시간 운전하는 동안 다공성 니켈 지지체의 금속성분이 팔라듐 합금층으로 확산하는 금속의 확산 문제를 개선하고자 지지체와 코팅층 사이에 확산방지막으로 도입되었으며, 균일한 스퍼터 증착을 위해 평탄한 표면의 지지체를 구현하였다. 투과도 테스트는 100-400kPa 의 압력차, 673-773K 의 온도 조건에서 순수한 수소가스로 실시하였다. 표면 미세기공이 없는 치밀한 팔라듐-구리 합금 분리막은 혼합가스에서 질소의 투과 없이 수소만을 투과하는 무한대의 우수한 분리도를 나타내었으며, 상용온도 $500^{\circ}C$에서 12.6ml/$cm^2{\cdot}min{\cdot}atm$의 수소 투과 능력을 보였다. 본 연구에 의해 제조된 팔라듐-구리 합금 분리막은 표면 미세기공이 없는 치밀한 분리막 제조를 가능하게 하였으며 열팽창계수가 팔라듐과 매우 비슷한 세륨산화물($CeO_2$)로 인해 지지체층과 코팅층과의 접합력이 향상되고 수소취성에 강하고 높은 열적 안정성을 갖는다.
