Creepage discharge faults in air on solid insulating material play a vital role in degradation and ageing of material which ultimately leads to breakdown of power equipment. And electric discharge decompose air in to its by-products such as Ozone and $NO_x$ gases. By analyzing air decomposition gases is a potential method for fault diagnostic in air. In this paper, experimental research has been conducted to study the effect of creepage discharge on rate of generation of air decomposition by-products using different insulating materials such as RTV, epoxy and fiberglass laminated sheet. Moreover XRF analysis has been done to analyze creepage discharge effect on these insulating materials. All experiments have been done in an open air test cell under constant temperature and pressure conditions. While analysis has been made for low and high humidity conditions. The results show that the overall concentration of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge in low humidity is 4% higher than concentration measured in high humidity. Based on this study a mathematical relationship is also proposed for the rate of generation of air decomposition by-products under creepage discharge fault. This study leads to indirect way for diagnostic of creepage discharge propagation in air.

Local wall thinning is a point of concern in almost all steel structures such as pipe lines covered with a thermal insulator made up of materials with low thermal conductivity(fiberglass or mineral wool); hence, Non Destructive Technique(NDT) methods that are capable of detecting the wall thinning and defects without removing the insulation are necessary. In this study we developed a Pulsed Eddy Current(PEC) system to detect the wall thinning of Ferro magnetic steel pipes covered with fiber glass thermal insulator and shielded with Aluminum plate. The developed system is capable of detecting the wall thickness change through an insulation of thickness 10cm and 0.4mm aluminum shielding. In order to confirm the thickness change due to wall thinning, two different sensors, a hall sensor and coil sensor were used as a detecting element. In both cases, the results show a very good change corresponding to the thickness change of the test specimen. During these experiments a carbon steel tube of diameter 210mm and a length of 620mm, which is covered with insulator of 95mm thickness was used. To simulate the wall thinning, the thickness of the tube is changed for a specified length such as 2.5mm, 5mm and 8 mm from the inner surface of the tube. A 0.4mm thick Aluminum plate was covered on the Test specimen to simulate the shielding of the insulated pipelines. For both hall sensor and coil detection methods Fast Fourier transform(FFT) was calculated using window approach and the results for the test specimen without Aluminum shielding were summarized which shows a clear identification of thickness change in the test specimen by comparing the magnitude spectra. The PEC system can detect the wall thinning under the 95 mm thickness insulation and 0.4 mm Al shielding, and the output signal showed linear relation with tube wall thickness.

The greenhouse hulk curing and drying system utilizing the direct solar energy was tested to see how much fuel could be saved for curing flue-cured tobacco at the Daegu Experiment Station, Korea Tobacco Research Institute (North latitute: 35$^{\circ}$49'), in 1979. The structure consists of transparent fiberglass exterior, polyurethan boards covered with galvanized iron as the heat absorbers and insulation boards, air duct in which the air is introduced to the furnace room of bulk curing barn, and gravel heat storage system. All exterior surface of heat absorbers, air duct, and gravels were coated with black paint. The air temperature and total radiation were 20.5 to 35.5$^{\circ}C$ and 1004.2 to 1436.2 cal/$\textrm{cm}^2$ during the 3 replicated curing tests, respectively. The greenhouse bulk curing and drying system was able to cut fuel consumption by 25 percent compared with the conventional bulk curing barn. The maximum temperatures for the top absorber and the inlet air of the system were 89$^{\circ}C$ and 64$^{\circ}C$, respectively, and the average temperature of inlet air was higher than that of conventional one by 18$^{\circ}C$.

This study tried to investigate and analyze the actual state such as the regional, classified, and material characteristics of the water quality in order to research the several factors by which the filtrated water of the total 250 cases can be polluted in the water tank. The 215 points (86%) clean the water tanks twice a year regularly and J-city has done the best job of cleaning the water tanks. The fifty points (20%) of the total 250 investigation points examine the water quality of the water tanks every year, however, the 175 investigation points (70%) do not execute the inspection of water quality. In the case of the regional characteristics in the water quality, the 23 points (46%) in H-county, the 17 points (34%) in S-county, and the 16 points (32%) in G-city are incongruent in the standard, and the incongruity ratio of the water quality in J-city is the lowest. The result of the classified incongruity shows that total coliforms were found at the 61 investigation points, mesophilic bacteria were found at the 27 points, and turbidity was found at the 12 points. In the case of the material incongruity, concrete was found at the 63 investigation points as the most distinguished factor, and FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) at the 23 points, SMC (sheet molding compound) at the 12 points, and stainless steel was found at the 2 points.

As the number of CFRD constructions increases, the necessity of an accurate assessment on its behavior also has been increasing accordingly. The performance of concrete faced rockfill dam (CFRD) under different water levels is greatly concerned by dam engineers and designers in the world. However, domestic research on CFRD design and construction has yet been insignificant. This study deals with three centrifuge model tests, mainly investigates the deformation of the concrete faced slabs with different face slab stiffness under different water levels. The prototype of a centrifugal model dam is half size of domestic CFRD dam. Detailed material preparation, model design, model set-up, model instrumentation and testing procedures are presented. In order to simulate the prototype concrete faced slab, three kinds of thin fiberglass plates with different thickness was adopted in the three model tests. The water level control facility was specially designed for this experiment to control the water level rise and drawdown during centrifuge flight. Although most of the results from the three model tests are satisfactory, it is also required that the centrifuge test results should be compared with those of numerical analysis and field measurements to analyze the centrifuge test results more in detail.

A 8-week trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of photoperiod manipulation on the growth performance and hematological parameters of juvenile Caspian roach, Rutilus rutilus caspicus (average weight $1.46{\pm}0.12g$ mean${\pm}$SD) reared under five photoperiods (24 h Light, 24L; 18 h Light & 6 h Dark, 18L:6D; 12 h Light & 12 h Dark, 12L:12D; 6 h Light & 18 h Dark, 6L:18D; 24 h Dark, 24D) with constant light intensity 1,500 lx on the water surface. Triplicate of 20 fish were allocated into each of 15 fiberglass tanks of 50 L capacity and they were fed three times per day with the commercial feed (SFK, Co., Sari - Iran) contains 50.0% protein and 10.5% lipid. At the end of experimental period, final body weight, weight gain and specific growth rates of fish exposed to 24L were significantly higher than those of fish exposed to 12L:12D, 6L:18D and 24D (P < 0.05). Red blood cell and hemoglobin of fish exposed to 24L were significantly higher than those of fish exposed to 24D. No significant difference observed in hematocrit, white blood cell and plasma glucose among the different treatments groups. Therefore, these results demonstrated that the growth performance of juvenile Caspian roach can be significantly stimulated by using 24L and 18L:6D photoperiods without any measurable significant stress response such as plasma glucose concentration.

The Compact Tension (CT) type test was performed in order to evaluate the fracture toughness performance of glass fiber-reinforced laminated timber. Glass fiber textile and sheet Glass fiber reinforced plastic were used as reinforcement. The reinforced laminated timber was formed by inserting and laminating the reinforcement between laminated woods. Compact tension samples are produced under ASTM D5045. The sample length was determined by taking account of the end distance of 7D, and bolt holes (12 mm, 16 mm, 20 mm) had been made at the end of artificial notches in advance. The fracture toughness load of sheet fiberglass reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber was increased 33 % in comparison to unreinforced laminated timber while the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber was increased 152 %. According to Double Cantilever Beam theory, the stress intensity factor was 1.08~1.38 for sheet glass fiber reinforced plastic reinforced laminated timber and 1.38~1.86 for glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, respectively. That was because, for the glass fiber textile reinforced laminated timber, the fiber array direction of glass fiber and laminated wood orthogonal to each other suppressed the split propagation in the wood.

To investigate the axial compressive performance of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) filled glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) tube and profile steel composite columns, static loading tests were carried out on 18 specimens under axial loads in this study, including 7 RAC filled GFRP tube columns and 11 RAC filled GFRP tube-profile steel composite columns. The design parameters include recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentage, profile steel ratio, slenderness ratio and RAC strength. The failure process, failure modes, axial stress-strain curves, strain development and axial bearing capacity of all specimens were mainly analyzed in detail. The experimental results show that the GFRP tube had strong restraint ability to RAC material and the profile steel could improve the axial compressive performance of the columns. The failure modes of the columns can be summarized as follow: the profile steel in the composite columns yielded first, then the internal RAC material was crushed, and finally the fiberglass of the external GFRP tube was seriously torn, resulting in the final failure of columns. The axial bearing capacity of the columns decreased with the increase of RCA replacement percentage and the maximum decreasing amplitude was 11.10%. In addition, the slenderness ratio had an adverse effect on the axial bearing capacity of the columns. However, the strength of the RAC material could effectively improve the axial bearing capacity of the columns, but their deformability decreased. In addition, the increasing profile steel ratio contributed to the axial compressive capacity of the composite columns. Based on the above analysis, a formula for calculating the bearing capacity of composite columns under axial compression load is proposed, and the adverse effects of slenderness ratio and RCA replacement percentage are considered.

Fiber mats were made at five density levels, using fibers from kraft pulp screening rejects, rice straw and a 50/50 mixture of the two. They were soaked in the sulfur compounds. Specimens cut from the composite panels were tested in flexure at time intervals for one year to study the effect of aging. Modulus of elasticity (MOE) and modulus of rupture (MOR) were determined. Under optimum conditions of fiber mat preparation and saturation with molten sulfur and modified sulfur, composites were produced which exhibited mechanical properties comparable to conventional fiberglass in some properties and superior to conventional wood-based composition boards, For example. the moduli of elasticity of the reinforced composites made from pulp screening rejects, with a density of 0.35 gm/$cm^3$, were greater than 1,000,000 psi as compared 800.000 psi for high-density hardboard (1.28 gm/$cm^3$). Modulus of rupture of the best reinforced composites was about 7,000 psi, comparable to 6,000 psi of high-density hardboard.

연구목적: 이 연구는 노동부의 보건진단 명령에 의해 유리섬유 강화플라스틱(FRP)을 이용한 이중벽 탱크 제조 사업장의 적층 공정 근로자들을 대상으로 스티렌 노출 특성을 평가하기 위해 수행되었다. 연구방법: 스티렌의 주요발생원 파악을 위해 불포화 폴리에스테르 수지(UPR), 경화제, 조색제, 세척액 등의 원료 내 스티렌 함유량을 가스크로마토그래피 질량분석기(GC-MS)를 이용하여 분석하였다. FRP 적층 공정에 근무하는 작업자들을 대상으로 NIOSH 1501 공정시험법에 의해 공기 중 스티렌 노출 농도에 대한 개인노출 평가를 실시하였고, 생물학적 노출 지표로 뇨 중 만델릭산을 채취한 후 고성능액체크로마토그래피(HPLC)로 분석하였다. 또한 각 직무 특성과 단위작업 중심으로 스티렌에 대한 단시간 노출평가를 수행하였다. 연구결과: 스티렌의 함유량이 가장 많은 주요 원료는 중량비율로37%의 스티렌이 함유된 UPR이었다. 적층 공정의 FRP분무 작업자와 보조 작업자들 모두 스티렌의 8시간 가중평균 노출기준(20 ppm)을 초과하였다. 단시간 노출평가 결과 FRP분무 작업자의 경우 45.9 ppm에서 86.1 ppm 수준으로 FRP를 사용하지 않는 작업보다 통계적으로 유의하게 높은 수준이었다(P<0.01). 가장 높은 수준의 스티렌에 노출되는 단위작업은 FRP를 이용하여 1차 코팅 하는 작업으로 특별한 관리가 필요하였다. 결론: 보건진단을 위해 실시한 이중벽 탱크 제조 사업장의FRP 적층 공정 작업자의 스티렌 노출수준은 노출기준을 초과할 정도로 높은 수준이었다. 그러나 탱크를 천장에 매달고 돌리면서 적층작업을 수행하기 때문에 적절한 국소환기 시스템을 구축하는데 어려움이 있다. 따라서 적절한 방독마스크 착용으로 스티렌 노출 예방이 필요하였다.
