The purpose of this study is to evaluate the degree of improvement in strengths by mixing blast-furnace slag and fly ash in polymer cement mortar(PCM). The test specimens are prepared with EVA polymer dispersion, two types of Admixtures (blast-furnace slag and fly ash), five kinds of polymer-cement ratios (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20%), and six kinds of admixtures (0, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 20%). Plain cement mortar is also made for comparison. From the test results, the flowing of PCM is greatly improved with the mixing of the admixtures, and strengths of PCM compared to ordinary cement mortar are also improved due to a decrease in water cement ratio. In addition, the strength characteristics of PCM by admixtures are greatly improved in flexural strength with fly ash compared to other strengths. It is apparent that the optimum mix proportions with polymer-cement ratio of 10% or more, admixture contents 5 to 10% of flay ash for flexural strength improvement of EVA-cement mortar are recommended in this study.

To improve the accuracy of land-cover discrimination in SAB data classification, this paper presents a methodology that includes feature extraction and fusion steps with multi-temporal SAR data. Three features including average backscattering coefficient, temporal variability and coherence are extracted from multi-temporal SAR data by considering the temporal behaviors of backscattering characteristics of SAR sensors. Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence(D-S theory) and fuzzy logic are applied to effectively integrate those features. Especially, a feature-driven heuristic approach to mass function assignment in D-S theory is applied and various fuzzy combination operators are tested in fuzzy logic fusion. As experimental results on a multi-temporal Radarsat-1 data set, the features considered in this paper could provide complementary information and thus effectively discriminated water, paddy and urban areas. However, it was difficult to discriminate forest and dry fields. From an information fusion methodological point of view, the D-S theory and fuzzy combination operators except the fuzzy Max and Algebraic Sum operators showed similar land-cover accuracy statistics.

Carbonation is a deterioration which degrades structural and material performance by permitting CO₂ and corrosion of embedded steel. Service life evaluation through deterministic method is conventional, however the researches with probabilistic approach on service life considering loading and cold joint effect on carbonation have been performed very limitedly. In this study, probabilistic service life evaluation was carried out through MCS (Monte Carlo Simulation) which adopted random variables such as cover depth, CO₂ diffusion coefficient, exterior CO₂ concentration, and internal carbonatable materials. Probabilistic service life was derived by changing mean value and COV (Coefficient of variation) from 100 % to 300 % and 0.1 ~ 0.2, respectively. From the analysis, maximum reduction ratio (47.7%) and minimum reduction ratio (11.4%) of service life were obtained in cover depth and diffusion coefficient, respectively. In the loading conditions of 30~60% for compressive and tensile stress, GGBFS concrete was effective to reduce cold joint effect on carbonation. In the tensile condition, service life decreased linearly regardless of material types. Additionally service life rapidly decreased due to micro crack propagation in the all cases when 60% loading was considered in compressive condition.

상용 핵연료 피복관 재료로 사용되고 있는 Zircaloy-2와 Zircaloy-4 및 ZIRLO$^{TM}$에 대한 수소와의 반응거동 및 속도론적(kinetic) 자료를 얻기 위하여 electro-microbalance가 장착된 TGA (thermogravimetric analysis) 장치를 이용하여 30$0^{\circ}C$~50$0^{\circ}C$의 온도범위에서 1기압 수소와의 반응에 따른 무게증가를 in-situ로 측정하였다. Zircaloy와 수소와의 반응거동은 chamber내 온도상승시 생성되는 산화막에 의해 초기에는 느린 반응이 진행되는 영역이 존재하고 온도가 낮은 35$0^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 이것이 잠복기 형태로 나타난 후 직선속도법칙(linear rate law)을 따르며 반응이 가속화되는 것으로 나타났고 40$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서는 직선속도법칙에서 반응이 지연되는 방향으로 약간의 편차(deviation)가 관찰되었다. 그 결과 Zircaloy-2와 ZIRLO$^{TM}$가 Zircaloy-4보다 수소와의 반응속도가 빠르고 활성화에너지가 낮은 것으로 나타났으며 직선속도법칙을 근거로 하여 각각 1.1x$10^{7}$ exp(-20,800/RT)와 1.5x$10^{6}$exp(-18,000/RT) 및 6.9x$10^{7}$ exp(-23,800/RT) (mg/dm$^2$/min) 의 속도상수를 도출하였다. 또한, 열구배가 존재하지 않는 out-of-pile 조건하에서도 'sunburst' 형태의 국부적 수소침투가 발생할 수 있음이 ～l,000 ppm이상의 수소침투 시편에서 확인되었다. ～3,000ppm이상 침투하게 되면 표면에 수소화물이 농축되어 있는 hydride layer가 형성됨을 관찰하였으며 ～5,000ppm 이상의 경우에는 수소화물의 방향성이 random하였으며 특히, ZIRLO$^{TM}$ 시편의 경우에서는 원주방향으로 길게 이어진 수소화물과 기계적 성질에 치명적인 반경방향의 수소화물이 평행하게 배열된 것을 관찰하였다.

The importance of satellite data for numerous applications is stressed by the fact that many countries have given the development of space technologies very high priority. Among these, Korea has established a medium-term space development strategy to promote space development both on a scientific as well as commercial level. As part of this strategy, the first operational earth-observation, multi-purpose satellite(KOMPSAT-1) was launched successfully in December, 1999. The Electro-Optical Camera (EOC) on board of KOMPSAT-1 supplies panchromatic images with a spatial resolution of 6.6m Until April, 2004, it collected over 150.000 images of the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world. This paper examines the use of remote sensing data to analyze urban growth in the city of Daejeon from 1960 to 2003. By using visual interpretation, land use maps are created.

This study investigated spray patterns and coverage generated by three types of commercial nozzles for spraying pesticides with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) using a multi-copter. Flufenoxuron+metaflumizone SC and bifenthrin EC were sprayed. The falling particles of the spraying agent were measured using WSP (Water and oil Sensitive Paper) and the coverage was determined. The results showed that the uniformity of falling particles was different according to the difference in wind strength, and there was no difference for different formulations. The injection amount for each nozzle was found to be different from the official information provided by the manufacturers. These results could be used to establish guidelines for the control of UAVs and pesticide registration testing.

In this study, a novel land-cover classification framework for multi-temporal SAR data is presented that can combine multiple features extracted through data transforms and multiple classifiers. At first, data transforms using principle component analysis (PCA) and 3D wavelet transform are applied to multi-temporal SAR dataset for extracting new features which were different from original dataset. Then, three different classifiers including maximum likelihood classifier (MLC), neural network (NN) and support vector machine (SVM) are applied to three different dataset including data transform based features and original backscattering coefficients, and as a result, the diverse preliminary classification results are generated. These results are combined via a majority voting rule to generate a final classification result. From an experiment with a multi-temporal ENVISAT ASAR dataset, every preliminary classification result showed very different classification accuracy according to the used feature and classifier. The final classification result combining nine preliminary classification results showed the best classification accuracy because each preliminary classification result provided complementary information on land-covers. The improvement of classification accuracy in this study was mainly attributed to the diversity from combining not only different features based on data transforms, but also different classifiers. Therefore, the land-cover classification framework presented in this study would be effectively applied to the classification of multi-temporal SAR data and also be extended to multi-sensor remote sensing data fusion.

Simulation method based on probability was developed to evaluate the durability of reinforced concrete structures about chloride attack. The effects of the probability parameters(surface chloride ion concentration, initial combined chloride ion concentration, the depth of cover thickness of concrete, and the chloride ion diffusion coefficient), probability distribution function and it's variation were calculated using the Monte Carlo method and Fick's 2nd law. From the durability design method proposed in this study, the following results were obtained. 1) The effects of the distance from the coast and the chloride ion diffusion coefficient to the corrosion probability were quite high. 2) The effect of the variation of each parameters was relatively low.

The electrode kinetic parameters at the Pd/0.5 M LiOH electrolyte interface have been qualitatively studied using the phase-shift method. The phase shift $(\phi)$ depends on both the cathode potential (E>0) and frequency (f), and $\theta$ is inversely proportional to the fractional surface coverage $\theta$. At an intermediate frequency (10 Hz), the phase-shift profile $(\phi\;vs.\;E)$ can be related to the fractional surface coverage $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$. The phase-shift method can be used to estimate or plot the Frumkin adsorption isotherm. The rate (r) of change of the free energy of adsorption with $({\theta})$ is 22.3 kJ/mol. The equilibrium constant (K) for adsorption and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{\theta})$ of the adsorbed hydrogen atom $(H_{ads})$ are $3.7\times10^{-3}{\Delta}G_{\theta}>-8.4kJ/mol$, respectively. For 1$0.38>\theta>0$, the energy liberation or the exothermic reaction for hydrogen adsorption at the Pd cathode can be occurred. The electrode kinetic parameters $(r,\;K,\;{\Delta}G_{\theta}$ depend on the fractional surface coverage $({\theta})$ or the phase shift $(\phi)$.

The Frumkin adsorption isotherm of the over-potentially deposited hydrogen (OPD H) for the cathodic $H_2$ evolution reaction (HER) at the poly-Ni|0.05M KOH aqueous electrolyte interface has been studied using the phase-shift method. The behavior of the phase shift $(0^{\circ}\leq{\phi}\leq90^{\circ})$ for the optimum intermediate frequency corresponds well to that of the fractional surface coverage $(1\geq{\theta}\geq0)$ at the interface. The phase-shift method, i.e., the Phase-shift profile $(-{\phi}\;vs.\;E)$ for the optimum intermediate frequency, can be used as a new method to estimate the Frumkin adsorption isotherm $(\theta\;vs.\;E)$ of the OPD H for the cathodic HER at the interface. At the poly-Ni|0.05M KOH aqueous electrolyte interface, the rate (r) of change of the standard free energy of the OPD H with $\theta$, the interaction parameter (g) for the Frumkin adsorption isotherm, the equilibrium constant (K) for the OPD H with $\theta$, and the standard free energy $({\Delta}G_{\theta})$ of the OPD H with ${\theta}$ are $24.8kJ mol^{-1},\;10,\;5.9\times10^{-6}{\leq}K{\leq}0.13,\;and\;5.1\leq{\Delta}G_{\theta}\leq29.8kJ\;mol^{-1}$. The electrode kinetic parameters $(r,\;g,\;K,\;{\Delta}G_{\theta})$ depend strongly on ${\theta} (0{\leq}{\theta}{\leq}1)$.
