Frost heave can cause uneven ground uplift that may damage geo-infrastructure. To assist damage-prevention strategies, standard frost heave testing methods and frost susceptibility criteria have been established and used in various countries. ASTM International standard testing method is potentially the most useful standard, as abundant experimental data have been acquired through its use. ASTM International provides detailed recommendations, but the method is expensive and laborious because of the complex testing procedure requiring a freezing chamber. A simple frost heave testing method using a temperature-controllable cell has been proposed to overcome these difficulties, but it has not yet been established whether a temperature-controllable cell can adequately replace the ASTM International recommended apparatus. This paper reviews the applicability of the ASTM International testing method using the temperature-controllable cell. Freezing tests are compared using various soil mixtures with and without delivering blow to depress the freezing point (as recommended by ASTM International), and it is established that delivering blow does not affect heave rate, which is the key parameter in successful characterization of frost susceptibility. As the freezing temperature decreases, the duration of supercooling of pore water shortens or is eliminated; i.e., thermal shock with a sufficiently low freezing temperature can minimize or possibly eliminate supercooling.

Low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment using oxygen gas was applied to a wool fabric. The LTP treated wool fabric was tested with several methods: ASTM D5035-1995, ASTM D1424-1996, AATCC Test Method 99-2000, AATCC Test Method 61-2001 lA, AATCC Test Method 15-2002 and AATCC Test Method 8-2001 and the results were compared with the industrial requirements (ASTM D3780-02 and ASTM D4155-0l). The results revealed that the LTP treated wool fabric could fulfil the industrial requirements. The results of the investigation were discussed thoroughly in this paper.

Objectives: The AHERA method by the US EPA, ASTM E2356-04, and HSG264 by the UK HSE, all of which are hazard/risk assessment methods for asbestos-containing building materials, were reviewed and compared based on 231 homogeneous areas. In addition, the current Act on Asbestos Safety Management (enforcement: April 29, 2012) was reviewed and analyzed. This trial provided fundamental data for improving the current asbestos hazard/risk assessment method. Methods: For the hazard/risk assessment of 77 asbestos-containing public buildings including schools, 231 homogeneous areas were selected, each of which was assessed using AHERA, ASTM E2356-04, and HSG264. Results: The matching rate of the hazard/risk assessment stood at 20.4 percent between AHERA and ASTM, at 71.4 percent between AHERA and HSG264 and at 17.8 percent between ASTM and HSG264. The AHERA method includes a seven-category rating scale. There were three categories, two of which have three subcategories. ASTM provides two decision-making charts consisting of ten rating scales for current condition estimation and for potential for disturbance estimation. In addition, the HSG264 method has a total of 20 scores with four items, and then provides four grades. This HSG264 method cannot clearly separate current condition and potential for disturbance. Conclusions: In the Korean Act on Asbestos Safety Management, the hazard/risk assessment method for asbestos-containing building materials should consider balance between current condition estimation and the potential for disturbance estimation.

Inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), one of the most commonly used instruments for metal analysis, was used to determine total uranium in soil. The method was named as "Modified ASTM C1345-96". When comparing with ASTM C1345-96, digestion time (2~3 days) was shorten to 7 hours and the treatment in furnace was eliminated. In analyses of 26 field soil samples, there was a significant difference in the average concentration of total uranium between modified ASTM C1345-96 and ASTM C1345-96 (F : 6.22 > Fc : 4.03, significance level : 0.05, n=26). The average concentration of modified ASTM C1345-96 was 1.8 times larger than that of ASTM C1345-96. In addition, modified ASTM C1345-96 was compared with other acid digestion methods for soil including ISO 11466, Modified ISO 11466, US EPA-3051, US EPA-3051A and US EPA-3052 using a certificated reference material (SRM 2711a, NIST) and field soil samples with different level of organic matter content (1.6%, 5.8%, 10.6%). Modified ASTM C1345-96 showed the best accuracy of 93.01% for SRM 2711a. Also, modified ASTM C1345-96 showed the higher extraction rates than other digestion methods by 11~45%.

PURPOSES: The purpose of this study is to compare the alkali-silica reactivity for mortar bar and concrete prism specimens using crushed aggregates of 5 types in Korea. And the alkali-silica reactivity for those aggregates are measured by chemical test method. METHODS: The alkali-silica reactivity for those aggregates was measured by chemical test method of KS F 2545, mortar-bar test of KS F 2546, accelerated mortar-bar test method of ASTM C 1260 and concrete prism test method of ASTM C 1293, relatively. RESULTS: The alkali-silica reactivity for those aggregates was verified by chemical test of KS F 2546 and accelerated mortar-bar test of ASTM C 1260. However, it was not by mortar-bar test of KS F 2546 and concrete prism test of ASTM C 1293. CONCLUSIONS: The above results showed that relationship among the four test methods were very low. The results from 3 types of test methods using cement-aggregate combinations appeared to be different. Because the environmental conditions of test methods for measuring the alkali-silica reactivity such as equivalent alkali content(external source), humidity, temperature, and times were different though the aggregates were same. Moreover, alkali-silica reactivity showed the biggest impact when alkalis were supplied form outside and exposed to environmental conditions. The accelerated mortar-bar test method seems to be most appropriate test method for concrete structures exposed to alkali environment.

The concrete structure can be easily damaged due to alkali-aggregate reaction. The alkali-aggregate reaction is a reaction between the alkalies(K or Na) in cement and an unstable mineral of the aggregates. There are several test methods to identify alkali reactivity of aggregates. In general, crushed stones are tested by petrographic examination, chemical method and 모르타르 바 method. This study tested alkali-aggregate reactivity of crushed stones that has different rock types such as granitic, volcanic, metamorphic and sedimentary rocks. Samples are collected from 12 local aggregate production companies. Alkali-reactivity of various rock types was evaluated by using ASTM C 227 and C 1260, and compared the test results of two test methods.

현행 ASTM C227-90은 모르타봉 시험법에 대한 규정인데 동 규정에 의하면 시험용 모르타르봉으 제작에 골재와 시멘트를 각각 675g과 300g을 쓰도록 무게비로 제시하고 있으며 제작된 모르타르봉의 초기길이 측정시기는 $24{\pm}2$시간으로 규정되어 있다. 또한 모르타르봉의 팽창원인을 알카리-골재반응에 두고 있다. ASTM C490-93a는 모르타르봉의 제작방법과 팽창률 계산방법이 소개되어 있는데 규정에 의하면 계산공식으 분모 G값을 10" 혹은 250mm로 고정시키고 있다. 본 연구는 위에 소개한 내용에 대한 실험적 연구를 통하여 다음과 같은 결론에 도달하였다. 첫째, 모르타르봉의 팽창은 알카리-골재반응만에 의한 것이 아니고 그 외 간극수와 겔수의 복합적인 작용에 의한 것이므로 ASTM C227-90의 내용을 일부 수정할 필요가 있다. 둘째, 골재에 의한 모르타르봉의 팽창원인 즉 알카리-골재반응과 간극수에 의한 팽창량을 알기 위하여는 골재와 시멘트의 배합비를 무레비 대신에 부피비로 제시함이 바람직 하다. 세째, ASTM C227-90과 ASTM C490-93a에서 제시한 모르타르봉의 초기길이 측정시기와 팽창률 계산방법은 더욱 정밀한 계산결과를 얻기 위하여 부분적인 수정이 필요하다.

리서취법과 모터법(RON과 MON)에 의한 가솔린 옥탄가는 가솔린의 연료로서의 성능에 관한 품질의 동력학적 측정값이다. 가솔린 옥탄가(RON과 MON)를 측정하기 위한 방법으로는 ASTM 표준엔진 시험방법(RON:ASTM D-2699, MON:ASTM D-2700)이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 이 방법은 재현성, 반복성 등이 매우 낮아서 오래 전부터 비판되어지고 있다. 또한 이 방법에 의한 측정시 그에 따른 비용 및 가동시간 등으로 인하여 비엔진 측정방법(기체 크로마토그래피법, 핵자기공명 분광법 등)에 대한 연구가 진행되어왔다. 본 연구에서는 $^{13}C-NMR$ 분광법을 이용하여 가솔린의 탄소 유형별 구조적 조성을 결정한 후 높은 정확도로 옥탄가(RON과 MON)를 예측하였다 그리고 옥탄가에 대한 가솔린의 분자구조적 조성의 영향에 관하여 고찰하였다.

콘크리트 구조물에 사용되는 골재의 화학적 안전성을 진단하는 방법 중의 하나인 암석기재학적 시험(ASTM C 295)에 관한 연구로서, 이 연구를 위하여 골재의 입도 분석, 피막 검사, 풍화 ·오염상태, 암석학적 기재, 그리고 알칼리-골재 반응성 광물 및 암석의 정성·정량적 분석을 실시하였다. 경남 울진군 매화천 유역 A, B 지역의 하천 골재에 대하여 암석기재학적 방법으로 검사한 결과 풍화상태는 F(신선) 등급과 WS(약간 풍화) 등급이며 골재의 피막과 오염 상태는 우려할 정도는 아니다. 알칼리-골재 반응 광물이나 구조적으로 취약한 암석이 함유된 골재는 매화천 A 지역 골재 전체의 26 wt.%, B 지역은 19 wt.%로 집계되는데 이는 양호한 골재로 볼 수 없기 때문에 화학적 방법과 몰탈바 방법으로 더욱 정밀한 시험을 거쳐 안전성이 확인되어야 한다.
