  • This paper introduces a study of concrete structures with a broken tire and a flat tire as a complete overhaul. The materials used to make concrete in this study are solid aggregate, cement, sand, flat tire, broken wheel, drinking water, and Ordinary Portland Cement. A total of 6 main compounds were thrown into solid cylinders and replaced by 0% as a controller followed by 5% and 10%. The cylinder pressure test of the concrete is done by applying the same pressure to the cylinders until a failure occurs. The results of the pressure test show that by applying 5% aggregation the pressure decreases. In Crumb wheel joints, the compression force decreases constantly as the percentage change increases. Therefore, the crumb wheel is not recommended for use as a complete replacement due to its compressive church power.

  • We investigated the pollution levels of $PM_{2.5}$ at Wangsimni station at which four subway lines (Line 2, Line 5, the Jungang line, and the Bundang Line) are simultaneously under the operation. The analysis of $PM_{2.5}$ was made for the period of 1~ 11 Nov. 2014. The results of our field campaign were analyzed to assess the effects of various factors and conditions on the $PM_{2.5}$ pollution (such as installation of the screen door, density of floating population, weekdays and weekend, and the depth of platforms). The mean concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ in each subway line of the Wangsimni station was measured as: the line 2 ($22.5{\mu}g/m^3$) ; the line 5 ($18.3{\mu}g/m^3$) ; the Jungang line ($31.8{\mu}g/m^3$); and the Bundang line ($32.2{\mu}g/m^3$). Based on the detailed analysis of $PM_{2.5}$ pollution at four subway lines, we aimed to provide some perspectives on reducing the concentration of ultrafine particles in a highly populated urban area.

  • Carbon emission calculation guidelines provided by the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transportation (MOLIT) and existing environmental load assessment studies have suggested a method for estimating based on the volume determined after the design development. Therefore they are not being helpful in the decision making of the environmental economics of road facilities in the planning stage in which specific information on construction output volume is lacking. Based on literature analysis of existing studies and consultation from a group of construction environmental professionals, 12 types of property information considered to be related to environmental load were selected from an inventory of information that will be available in the road planning stage. In addition, multiple regression analysis was performed based on the environmental load computed through the life cycle assessment (LCA) of 40 national highway project cases of Korea to deduce five impact factors of environmental load in the road facilities planning stage.

  • A renewable energy storage pile foundation system is being developed through a multi-disciplinary research project. This system intends to use reinforced concrete pile foundations configured with hollowed sections to store renewable energy generated from solar panels attached to building structures in the form of compressed air. However previous research indicates that the compressed air will generate considerable high circumferential tensile stresses in the concrete pile, which requires unrealistic high hoop reinforcement ratio to avoid leakage of the compressed air. One possible solution is to utilize fiber reinforced concrete instead of placing the hoop reinforcement to resist the tensile stress. This paper investigates nonlinear structural responses and post-cracking behavior of the fiber reinforced concrete pile subjected to high air pressure through nonlinear finite element simulations. Concrete damage plasticity models were used in the simulation. Several parameters were considered in the study including concrete grade, fiber content, and thickness of the pile section. The air pressures which the pile can resist at different crack depths along the pile section were identified. Design recommendations were provided for the energy storage pile foundation using the fiber reinforced concrete.
