In this study, we suggested adequate control technology by analyzing emission process and main chemical of VOC/HAPs generated from four paint factories in Busan area. And we estimated whether Kapok fiber, which is a natural material, can be commercially used for an absorbent by testing adsorption ability. As a result of this sturdy, above 60% of VOC/HAPs was volatilized and dispersed inside the working place without conducting control system of facilities during manufacturing paints. Concentration profile of VOC/HAPs, which is volatile naturally outside the factories, is surveyed above 70% at Toluene, Ethylbenzene, and Xylene. And a result of evaluation of odor attribution level about the component whose Odor Threshold is known, it is estimated that major cause material of A, B, C factories is Toluene and that of D factory is m/p-Xylene. And that result presented design arguments such as facilities specifications, activated carbon filling volume, and replace cycle of activated carbon as control technology. Also, that result presented emission process improvement such as adsorption of central-controlled ventilation device, installation of inlet flenge, and potable cleaning process. The rate of pollutant adsorption of Kapok fiber, which is natural material, is indicated about 91.9%, 66.7%. That result validated the possibility as replacement of activated carbon.

In this paper, a new load monitoring system for military aircraft is introduced. This system consists of sensors, an onboard device and an ground analysis equipment. The sensors and onboard device are mounted on the aircraft and the ground analysis equipment is operated on the ground. Through this system, structural static load can be estimated with flight parameters and structural responses can be measured by sensors due to static load, dynamic load and unexpected events. Especially, optical fiber sensors with mutiplexing capability are utilized. The onboard device was specially designed for complying the requirements of relevant military specifications and was verified through a series of the environment tests. This system was used and evaluated through ground structural tests before flight tests. In the near future, this system will be applied to military aircraft as a structural load monitoring system after flight test evaluation.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate whether airborne fibers were released to the outside air from the asbestos removal area in buildings, and to confirm the existence of asbestos fibers in samples using transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Methods: A total of 1,295 samples was collected from inside and outside 155 asbestos removal areas. To investigate the release of asbestos fibers from the removal area, samples were collected at three locations, such as an entrance to change room, an exit of negative pressure unit(NPU) and perimeter areas. Samples were also collected in the removal area prior to and after removal activity. All samples were analyzed by phase contrast microscopy(PCM) and one-tenth of the samples was analyzed using TEM to discriminate asbestos fibers. Results: During the asbestos removal activity, 27(4.1%) of 662 samples collected outside the removal area showed airborne fiber concentrations equal to or in excess of 0.01 f/cc, the permissible emission standard of the Korean Ministry of Environment. Further, 111 samples were analyzed using TEM. The distribution of asbestos fiber concentrations was log-normal. It was found that 51 of 111 samples(46%) contained asbestos fibers. Conclusions: There is a potential risk of asbestos exposure among neighbors and the public outside the asbestos removal areas. It is recommended that the asbestos removal work be conducted strictly following the specifications required by government and/or professional organizations.

Recently, with the strengthening of environmental regulations, there has been an increasing interest in eco-friendly energy sources, leading to a trend of the increasing scale of Cargo Containment Systems (CCS) for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) carriers. Among these systems, membrane tanks have gained popularity in LNG transport vessels due to their superior spatial utilization and competitiveness. However, due to high initial investment costs and the difficulty in repair in case of damage, a safety layer, the secondary barrier, must be installed without fail. In this study, in order to apply a new secondary barrier to the existing membrane-type LNG CCS, tests were conducted on the fiberglass layer previously used in the Triplex-Flexible Secondary Barrier (FSB), substituting it with basalt fiber. Tensile and vertical tensile tests were performed to assess the newly applied material. Environmental tests were conducted at room temperature (25℃) and extremely low temperatures (-170℃), considering the temperatures to which substances may be exposed during LNG vessel operations. The basalt-FSB produced in this study demonstrated superior results compared to the specifications of the existing product, confirming its potential applicability for implementation.

In order to comprise a basic closed-loop control system for a field robot it is necessary to detect the piston rod stroke of a hydraulic cylinder. There are mary conventional type sensors which can detect the displacement of cylinders. However, they cannot reveal the original performance normally or the cannot be applied at all where the operating circumstance of cylinders is beyond specifications of sensors. In this paper, an exclusive method for detecting the piston rod stroke is suggested, which adopts a remote detecting technique using optical fiber sensors. Several experiments using the prototype are executed for verifying the effectiveness of the suggested method and the possibility of the accurate detection of stroke.

최근 자동차의 고속경향화 추세는 많은 진전을 보고 있으며 또 앞으로도 많은 연구와 노력이 경주되어야 하리라고 본다. 그 가운데 하나로 스프링의 경량화는 대략 다음과 같은 3방향에서 연구되고 있다. 1) 복합재료, 즉 GFRP(carbon fiber reinforced plastics), 나아가서는 BFRP(born fiber reinforced plastics)의 탄선과 경량성을 이용한 스프링. 2) 형상, 즉 구조적인 면에서 스프링소재를 후판으로 사용함으로서, 다매물에서 단매 또는 소수 매의 거물곡선 스피링(parabolic taper spring)으로의 변진. 3) 고응력 사용, 즉 종래의 스프링량보다 높은 탄성을 가진 재료로써 스프링 응력을 톺게 사용할 수 있는 강종의 개발 등이다. 특히 3)의 탄성한을 \ulcorner이는 문제는 2)의 후재화와 더불어 열처리성, 가공성 등이 문제가 되어 이에 따라 신강종으로서의 변천을 강요하게 된다. 그러므로 국제경쟁력을 강화하기 위하여 각국 들이 활발하게 연구 및 개발을 추진하고 있는 현상이다. 우리나라의 경우 현재 제작기술은 어느 정동 많이 축적되고 있으나, 아직 R&D면에서는 점진적으로 추진되고 있다. 이와 같은 실정에서 자동차산업의 국제화와 더불어 종래 사용된 스프링강재의 재검토가 우리나라에서도 긴급히 필 요하게 되었따. 그 예로서 KS SPS5(JIS SUP9)의 강종이 종래 일본에서 자동차용스프링의 대 종을 이루고 있던것이 최근에는 SUP9A로 전환되고 있다. 이것은 SUP9A는 SUP9보다 기계적 성질이 우수하며, 또한 자동차분야의 세계제일위인 미국의 SAE5160재와 일지되고 있다. 그러므로 국제화 경향과 더불어 SUP9종은 SUP9A로 전환되고 있으므로서 우리 나라의 경우에도 자동차 스프링의 수출용은물론이고, 국내용에도 SUP9A에 해당하는 규격이 제정되고, 또한 빠른 전환이 필요하다고 본다. 이와 같은 국제적인 추세는 SUP6을 SUP7H종으로 더욱 향상된 것이 실용 화되고 있다. 아래에서 이에 대한 기계적 특성을 중심으로 검토키로 한다.

As internal and external seismic experiment results, the seismic performance of RC bridge piers is largely dependent on the ratio of lap-spliced bars to all longitudinal reinforcing bars in plastic hinge regions, and confining effects of transverse reinforcements. Capacity and displacement ductility of non-seismically designed existing RC piers are reduced by lap splices in plastic hinge regions. The provision for the lap splice of longitudinal reinforcing bars was not specified in KBDS (Korean Bridge Design Specifications) before the implementation of 1992 seismic design code, but the ratio of lap-spliced bars to all longitudinal reinforcing bars in plastic hinge regions is restricted to 50% in the 2005 version of KBDS. This paper presents a seismic assessment of RC piers at lap-splicing ratios of 0%, 50%, and 100%. Through a comparison of experimental and analytic results of RC piers, we introduce an appropriate ultimate strain of confined concrete in plastic hinge regions with lap-splices, and propose a method for estimating displacement ductility ratios of non-seismically designed existing RC piers using fiber element analysis.

The domestic and foreign specifications presented the effective width based on flange length to width ratio only. The existing paper on the effective width grasped of the effect of span, load type and cross-section properties, but localized steel bridges. Recently, The studies are going on in progress for the application of fiber reinforced composite material in construction field. Therefore, it is required to optimum design that have a good grasp the deformation characteristic of the displacements and stresses distribution and predict variation of the effective width for serviceability loading. This research addresses the effective width of all composite material box girder bridges using the finite element method. The characteristics of the effective width of composite structures may vary according to several causes, e.g., change of fibers, aspect, etc. Parametric studies were conducted to determine the effective width on the stress elastic analysis of all composite materials box bridges, with interesting observations. The various results through numerical analysis will present an important document for construct all composite material bridges.

Wireless optical communication is expected for high-speed optical communication in the areas of saturated optical fiber communication and low population density. In this paper, we present an optical transmitter system for wireless optical communication with new design concepts different from the usual optical imaging system. The specifications are the following: the source is a laser diode(LD) of wavelength 830 nm in which the divergent angle from the tangential plane differs from that from the sagittal plane. Here, the requested transmission distances are very long range such as 500 m to 1500 m and beam diameter is 3 m at the receiver with symmetrical energy distribution. For the evaluation characteristics of this kind of non-imaging system, two optical quantities, the relative illumination distribution and energy transfer efficiency, are numerically calculated through lots of ray tracing.
