CLC is used as a filling material for many buildings, and according to energy saving design standards, CLC also requires insulation performance. However, it shows lower insulation performance compared to organic insulation, so additional research is needed. Therefore, in this study, the insulation properties of CLC were analyzed by incorporating EPS beads with high insulation performance into CLC. In this experiment, EPS beads and blast furnace slag were replaced, and W/B was fixed at 33%. The EPS Bead mixing ratio was divided into 5 levels: 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 (%), and the experimental items were measured for apparent density and thermal conductivity. As a result of the experiment, the apparent density and thermal conductivity tended to decrease as the mixing ratio of EPS beads increased. It is judged that the density decreased due to the low density and the micropores inside, and the thermal conductivity also decreased.

The recent increase in the use of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) geofoam in construction and geotechnical projects has driven researchers to investigate its behavior, more deeply. In this paper, a series of experimental tests to investigate the stress-strain behavior and the mechanical properties of EPS blocks, under monotonic axial loading are presented. Four different densities of cylindrically shaped EPS with different dimensions are used to investigate the effects of loading rate, height and diameter, as well as the influence of the density of EPS on the stress-strain response. The results show that increasing the height of the EPS samples leads to instability of the sample and consequent lower resistance to the applied pressure. Large EPS samples show higher Young's modulus and compressive resistance due to some boundary effects. An increase in the rate of loading can increase the elastic moduli and compressive resistance of the EPS geofoam samples, which also varies depending on the density of the samples. It was also determined that the elastic modulus of EPS increases with increasing EPS density. By implementing an efficient numerical procedure, the stress-strain response of EPS geofoam samples can be reproduced with great accuracy. The numerical analysis based on the proposed method can used to evaluate the effect of different factors on the behavior of EPS geofoam.

초 경량재인 E.P.S(20~30kg/m3)를 성토재로 사용하여 부족한 지지력과 침하에 대한 안정 성을 확보하는 방법이 최근 많이 사용되고 있다. 국내에서는 1993년 인천의 연약지반상 교대 됫채움재로 이 공법이 처음 사용된 이래 점차 활용이 늘어나고 있는 실정이다. 그러나 아직까지 EPS를 성토 재료로 사용한 지반에서 EPS의 거동을 예측하기 위한 합리적인 수치해석 모델이 제시되어 있지 않고 일축압축강도 및 크리프시험 결과에 따른 설계강도만이 제안되어 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 성토재료로 사용된 EPS의 수치해석 모델을 제시하기 위하여 성토재로 사용되는 여러 종류 밀도의 EPS에 대해 구속압을 변화시키면서 삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 삼축압축시험 결과를 분석하여 EPS의 축방향 변형률-응력 관계와 이의 도함수 그리고 포아송비를 밀도와 구속압에 의한 함수식으로 나타낼 수 있었다. 이 관계로부터 EPS의 거동을 예측하기 위한 비선형모델을 제안하였다.

The effects of packaging conditions on freshness extension of squash (Cucurbita moscata) were investigated during 7-day storage at 2$0^{\circ}C$. Weight loss of squash packed with corrugated paperboard box (control) was 5.5%, and those of LDPE (low density polyethylene, Ф0.02 mm), LDPE (Ф0.04mm) film and EPS (expanded polystyrene) box were 0.9%, 0.8%, and 1.1%, respectively. Firmness of EPS was 11% higher than that of control, chlorophill content of squash packed with EPS box was 18.9% higher, and total ascorbic acid content of squash packed with EPS box was 29.4% higher than that of control. Quality of packed squash was not different between EPS packages and LDPE packages. Decay of control was 1~2 pieces per box, but was not found in the LDPE, EPS box. Preferences in overall appearences of LDPE, EPS box was better than those of control.

To investigate the mechanical properties of Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) Beads Stabilized Lightweight Soil (EBSLS), Laboratory studies were conducted. Totally 20 sets of specimens according to the complete test design were prepared and tested with unconfined compressive test and consolidated drained triaxial test. Results showed that dry density of EBSLS ($0.67-1.62g/cm^3$) decreases dramatically with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content, while increase slightly with the increase of cement content. Unconfined compressive strength (10-2580 kPa) increases dramatically in parabolic relationship with the increase of cement content, while decreases with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content in hyperbolic relationship. Cohesion (31.1-257.5 kPa) increases with the increase of cement content because it is mainly caused by the bonding function of hydration products of cement. The more EPS beads volumetric content is, the less dramatically the increase is, which is a result of the cohesion between hydration products of cement and EPS beads is less than that between hydration products of cement and sand particles. Friction angle ($14.92-47.42^{\circ}$) decreases with the increase of EPS beads volumetric content, which is caused by the smoother surfaces of EPS beads than sand grains. The stress strain curves of EBSLS tend to be more softening with the increase of EPS beads content or the decrease of cement content. The shear contraction of EBSLS increases with the increase of $c_e$ or the decrease of $c_c$. The results provided quantitative relationships between physico-mechanical properties of EBSLS and material proportion, and design process for engineering application of EBSLS.

Hypolipidemic effect of exo-polymers(EPs) form submerged mycelial culture of Cordyceps militaris was investigated in male Sprague-Dawley rats. For a dose-dependent study, EPs were administered at the level of 50-100 mg/kg body weight (BW) and the data was compared with the saline administered control group. A significant reduction of both the plasma total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) was registered under the influence of EPs. It reduced the lowe density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol level as much as 40.5%. Levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL) choloesterol did not vary significantly within the different experimental groups, but the HDL: TC ratio showed consistently a high value with the increasing dose. The effects of cultural conditions (pH and temperature) in mycelial growth and EPs production were studied. Both the biomass and EPs were produced in a wide range of pH and temperature.

It has been a major concern in the foundry that steel castings manufactured by the evaporative pattern casting process encounter the carbon pick-up problem. A carbon rich layer at the evaporative pattern cast surface is a result of interactions between the gaseous products from foamed polystyrene and the molten metal. The carburized layer with a high hardness makes it difficult to machine the casting. In this study, the influence of the density of EPS pattern and coatings on carbon pick-up phenomena of S25C and S45C commercial carbon cast steel were investigated. As the density of EPS pattern is increased, the carbon concentration of decomposed pattern is increased and the thickness of carburized layer at the surface of steel castings is increased. Also as the density of coatings is increased, the permeability of coatings is decreased and the thickness of carburized layer at the surface of steel castings is increased. S25C steel which has lower original carbon content compared to S45C steel exhibited severe carburization.

본 논문에서는 경량기포 콘크리트에 EPS 폐기물과 난연성 EPS 폐기물 보강재를 각각 혼입해 물성 특성을 연구하였다. 물시멘트비는 50%로 고정시켰으며 단위시멘트량은 300, $400kgf/m^3$으로 설정하였다. 독립기포용 기포제를 사용하였고, 희석농도는 10%로 설정하여 혼합하였다. 혼입률은 0, 10, 20, 30, 40%로 혼입하였으며, 선 기포 방식으로 제조하였다. 상기 배합조건 별로 제작된 경량기포 콘크리트 시험체의 겉보기 밀도, 휨강도, 열전도율 및 흡수율을 측정하고 분석하였다. 실험결과, 겉보기 밀도는 단위시멘트량에 관계없이 2~3% 내외의 차이를 보였고 각각 KS F 4039 겉보기 밀도의 0.5품, 0.6품을 만족시켰다. 휨강도는 압축강도를 통해 치환하여 압축강도 기준 0.4품, 0.5품, 0.6품을 만족 시켰으며, 열전도율은 난연성 EPS 폐기물 보다 EPS 폐기물이 보강재일 경우가 3~5% 정도 높게 나왔지만 두 보강재 모두 KS F 4039 0.4품 기준을 만족하였다. 흡수율 측면에서는 EPS 폐기물과 난연성 EPS 폐기물 보강재를 혼입한 경우 1~3%정도의 차이를 보였지만 모두 20%가 넘는 높은 수치를 보여 추가적인 보강재나 배합비가 필요할 것으로 판단된다.

최근 30년간 EPS 블록은 전 세계적으로 그 사용량이 증가하고 있으며, 국내$.$외적으로 EPS 블록의 적용 분야가 확장되고 있는 추세에 있다. 그 대표적인 사례로 EPS 블록의 압축성에 따른 아칭효과를 이용한 옹벽, 교대, 매설관등 지반구조물에 작용하는 토압 저감 분야를 들 수 있다. EPS 블록은 경량성에 기인한 우수한 시공성과 밀도 변화에 따른 균질한 공학적 특성을 가지고 있으며, 또한 압축재로서 최적의 재료적 특성을 갖추고 있다. 일반적으로 EPS 블록은 밀도가 낮은 경우 동일한 하중 아래에서 보다 압축성이 우수한 경향을 보이나, 밀도가 10kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 이하인 경우 발포 비드간 결합력이 약하여 쉽게 파괴되는 성질이 있으므로 지반공학적으로 이용할 때에는 10kg/$\textrm{m}^3$ 이상의 제품을 이용하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 지반구조물의 하중 저감을 위한 아칭재로서의 EPS 블록의 현장 적용성 평가를 위하여 콘크리트 옹벽과 콘크리트 박스 암거를 대상으로 현장시험시공을 수행하였으며, 현장시험시공 결과 아칭재인 EPS 블록을 사용할 경우 기존의 이론적인 토압에 비하여 콘크리트 옹벽의 경우 약 20% 정도, 콘크리트 박스 암거의 경우 약 45∼53% 정도인 것으로 평가되었다.
