A sacrificial member with aluminum foam of excellent energy absorption capacity was proposed for the protection of significant structures. Parametric studies of explicit finite element analyses were performed to investigate the pressure mitigation of close-range air-blasts. The scaled distance of the blast had a range of Z=0.48~0.95 and an empirical blast load function was utilized. The analytical parameters of the aluminum foam were density, thickness and the existence of a cover sheet. Analytical results showed that the transmitted pressure can be controlled to have a similar level of yield values of the foam by using a foam with low density and higher thickness. As the blast load increased, the sacrificial member needed to have higher density and thickness. A cover sheet of the foam clearly showed its effect on the wider distribution of blast pressure. It is necessary to determine the design parameters of sacrificial foams considering different energy dissipation capacities according to the scaled distance.

Environmental changes, especially global climate change, are creating new challenges to the development of the Arctic regions, which have substantial energy resources. And attention to offshore structures has increased with oil and gas development. The structural impact response of an explosion-resistant profiled blast walls normally changes when it operates in low temperatures. The main objectives of this study are to investigate the structural response of blast walls in low temperature and suggest useful guidelines for understanding the characteristics of the structural impact response of blast walls subjected to hydrocarbon explosions in Arctic conditions. The target temperatures were based on the average summer temperature ($-20^{\circ}C$), the average winter temperature ($-40^{\circ}C$) and the coldest temperature recorded (approximately $-68^{\circ}C$) in the Arctic. The nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to design an explosion-resistant profiled blast wall for use in Arctic conditions based on the behaviour of material properties at low temperatures established by performing a tensile test. The conclusions and implications of the findings are discussed.

In this study, engineering characteristics of permeable mortar using water-quenched blast furnace slag as fine aggregates were analyzed by laboratory experiments to examine its suitability for permeable concrete pavement techniques. Engineering characteristics of mortar were investigated by performing both the compressive, flexural strength tests together with the constant head permeability tests for twenty-six types of mixing samples having different percetage of slag, cement and water. After 28days of curing, every performance was tested to find optimum mixture. When the go coefficient of permeability was 10$\^$-2/cm / sec and flexural strength was 30kg/㎠, we conclusion that the best mix design in permeable mortar was made in the condition,60% of cement and 20% of water percentage of unit slag contents. From the present investigations, it is concluded that suitability for permeable concrete pavement techniques using water-quenched blast furnace slag as fine aggregates may possibly be used to achieve effects on strength together with drainage effects.

In these days, there are out of natural sands in the construction field. It is required that development of substitute material for natural material. The blast-furnace slag could be a good alternative material in this situation. It can help resource recycling and the protection of environment. This study presents that the strength properties of mortar using air-cooled blast-furnace slag sand and water-cooled blast-furnace slag sand. The mixing design of this study have a few factors, three type of unit water, four types of W/C, five types of substitution rate. When air-cooled furnace slag sand used in mortar, as substitution rate is higher, 3, 7-days compression strength and flexural strength are going up. But, in case of water-cooled furnace slag sand mortar, strengths are going down.

This study was performed to evaluate the slump flow, air content, setting time, compressive strength, adiabatic temperature rise and diffusion coefficient of chloride used ordinary portland cement, crushed coarse aggregate, crushed sand, river sand, fly ash, limestone powder, blast furnace slag powder and superplasticizer to find optimum mix design of low carbon green concrete for structures. The performances of low carbon green concrete used fly ash, limestone powder and blast furnace slag powder were remarkably improved. This fact is expected to have economical effects in the manufacture of low carbon green concrete for structures. Accordingly, the fly ash, limestone powder and blast furnace slag powder can be used for low carbon green concrete material.

Computational and theoritical investigations of an arc plasma have been made for the design of a circuit breaker. Modeling of an arc plasma used to be very involved and difficult because of the many variables and factors, In this paper, the dynamic behavior of an arc plasma is investigated by solving the MHD equations. Comparing an $SF_6$-blast arc with a non-blast arc, it has been found that the effect of gas-blast has a great influence on density rather than temperature.

SNP는 개인과 개인간의 DNA에 존재하는 한 염기 쌍의 차이(single base-pair variation)이다. SNP를 이용하면 사람마다 다른 유전병의 형태 등을 규명할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 한국생명공학연구원의 유전체 사업단에서 개발해 오고 있는 웹기반 SNP데이터 검색 시스템의 설계와 구현에 대해서 설명한다. 본 시스템은 일반 속성(attribute)을 저장하고 검색하기 위해 PostgreSQL DBMS를 사용하고, DNA 시퀸스 검색을 위해 BLAST검색엔진을 사용한 약결합 아키텍쳐(loosely-coupled architecture)를 채택하고 있다. 즉, 일반 속성으로 저장될 수 있는 데이터들은 데이터베이스의 테이블들의 컬럼 값으로 저장하고 SQL 언어를 통해 검색할 수 있도록 하였으며, DNA 시퀸스 검색을 위해서는 BLAST에서 제공하는 인덱스를 구축하고 BLAST 명령어를 사용하여 검색할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한, 결과 분석 모듈을 구현하여 검색 결과들이 다른 웹 사이트의 데이터를 가리키도록 하였다.

The objective of present study is to investigate the effect of granulated blast furnace slag (GBS) as partial substitution of natural sand on behaviour of cement mortar. For this, the methods of factorial design with water cement (w/c) ratio and incorporation percentages of GBS as replacement of natural fine aggregate i.e., GBS(%) as factors are followed. The levels of factor w/c ratio are fixed at 0.4, 0.45, and 0.5 and the levels of factor GBS(%) are kept fixed as 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100%. The compressive strength (CS) of mortar after 3, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 90 days, and water absorption (WA) are chosen as responses of the study. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) of experimental results has been carried out and those are illustrated by ANOVA tables, main effect and interaction plots. The results of study depict that the selected factors have substantial influence on the strength and WA of mortar. However, the interaction of factors has no substantial impact on CS and WA of mixes.
