During recent years, the durability of concrete structures has been considered in concret practice and material research. To preserve the brittleness of concrete as well as energy absorption and impact resistance, amount of fiber usage has greatly increased in the field of public works. Ultra fine powder, silica fume, mixed into concrete, it reduce void of concrete structure. Especially, there's a great effect for strength improvement of concrete by initial pozzolanic reactions. For these reasons, if silica fume mixed into concrete, it decrease the total void by microfilter effect . Pozzolan reaction, between cement particle and silica powder, can elaborate the micro structure of matrix. And so, in this paper, we deal SFRC for the purpose of efficiently using of industrial by-products(silica fume). Also we performed the test for durability such as freeze-thaw resistance and accelerated carbonation of SFRC using silica fume.

This study is to see the internal flow for the plasma cutting fume collector. Plasma cutters are widely used in the canning industry and Fume cause the device because it will affect the performance of the design of dust collector. Therefore, to determine the distribution of the internal flow using CFD and Solver was used for calculated with commercial CFD code STAR-CCM+. The results show that design of chamber was incorrect after passed the filter for exhaust to the fan. And the location of the duct to the influx of dust collector and the design was incorrect. In addition, an array of filter was also inappropriate. As a result, present fume collector need to improvement.

An experimental study of the application of Silica fume for the high strength concrete was conducted. Nine specimens with three different contents of silica fume, 0%, 10%, 20% and with three water-cement ratio 30%, 40%, 50% were tested. Results shows that 10% of silica fume and 30% of water-cement ratio has a maximum strength with 700kg/$cm^2$ of compressive strength and 64kg/$cm^2$ of splitting tensile strength and 100kg/$cm^2$ of flexural strength. Slump value of the tested samples decreases with increasing water-cement ratio and elapsed time of silica fume. Splitting tensile strength$({\sigma}_f)$ and flexural strength $({\sigma}_f)$ and static modulus of elasticity(E) can be correlated with compressive strength $({\sigma}_c)$ from a regression analysis.

용접중 발생되는 흄(Fume) 및 가스는 용접작업 환경을 오염시킬 뿐만 아니라 인체에 매우 유해하다. 용접 흄(Fume)은 금속 산화물로 구성된 아주 작은 입자이며 가스는 일반적으로 CO, CO$_{2}$, NO$_{x}$, SO$_{x}$, XF 등으로 구성되어 있다. 일반 피복 아아크 용접봉에서 발생되는 용접 흄은 인체에 매우 해로운 영향을 미친다. 즉 다량 흡입하게 되면 두통, 발열 등 급성 증상이 발생한다. 또한 소량을 장시간 흡입해도 진폐 등 만성증상을 일으킨다. 그러므로 현 국내 용접장에서는 흄에 의한 장해 방지를 위하여 충분한 환기시설과 완벽한 보호구 착용, 그리고, 용접 재료 자체의 흄 발생량을 감소시킨 저흄 용접봉(low fume type electrode)의 사용 방법 등이 검토 실시되고 있다. 본 보고서에서는 흄에 대한 올바른 인식을 꾀하는 한편, 용접자의 건강 보호를 목적으로 개발된 조선 및 철구조물의 주요 용접 재료인 철분 산화철계 저흄 용접봉에 관하여 소개하고자 한다.

In the production of high-strength concrete of 80 MPa or more, silica fume is widely used as a binder to ensure the strength safety and pumpability of concrete. The bulk density of silica fume is an important physical property that can have a significant impact on the performance of concrete. Therefore, Understanding the effect of silica fume density on the physical properties of concrete and selecting the appropriate material with the correct density is crucial to ensuring optimal performance in construction projects.

The welding fume has been implicated as a causal agent in respiratory disease such as pneumoconiosis. The molecular mechanism by which welding fume induces toxicity in the lung is still unknown, but studies have focused on histological structure and indirect approach measuring the pulmonary damage markers. In the present study, gene expression profiles were analyzed in the lung of rats exposed by manual metal-arc stainless-steel (MMA-SS) welding fume for 30 days using Affymetrix GeneChip$^{(R)}$. Totally, 379 genes were identified as being either up- or down-regulated over 2-fold changes (P<0.01) in the lung of low- or high-dose group and were analyzed by using hierarchical clustering. We focused on genes involved in immune/inflammation responses were differentially regulated during lung injury induced by welding fume exposure. The information of these deregulated genes may contribute in elucidation of the inflammation mechanism during lung injury such as lung fibrosis.

This paper provides test results on the tension stiffening behavior of high strength concrete (HSC) members used silica fume free binder (SFFB) instead of silica fume. The objective of this study is to evaluate the capability of replacing expensive silica fume to SFFB in HSCs with compressive strength of 60 and 80MPa. Test results indicated that for two mixes of 60 and 80 MPa HSC, cracking and strength behavior of tension members, which are replaced silica fume to SFFB, showed equivalent performance to those of tension members used silica fume.

The influence of combination of nano silica and silica fume, as partial cement replacement materials, on the properties of concrete has been studied through the measurement of compressive strength. The compressive strength of concrete in terms of mean, standard deviation and with-in-test coefficient of variation related to the variation in the nominated parameters have also been developed. The compressive strength data developed experimentally has been analyzed using normal-probability distribution and partial safety factors of composite concretes have been evaluated by using first order second moment approach with Hasofer Lind's method. The use of Nano silica and silica fume in concrete decreases the partial safety factor of concrete i.e., increase the reliability of concrete. The experimental results show that the properties of concrete having nano silica and silica fume in combination were better than that of a plain concrete. The SEM test results showing the level of Ca(OH)₂ in plain concrete and consumption level Ca(OH)₂ of concrete containing nano silica & silica fume have also been presented.

Supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) such as fly ash, ground granulated blast furnace slag and silica fume are now being extensively used in concrete to control expansion due to alkali-silica reactivity (ASR). However, the replacement level of a single SCM needed to deleterious ASR expansion and cracking may create other problem and concerns. For example, incorporating silica fume at levels greater than 10％ by mass of cement may lead to dispersion and workability concerns, while fly ash can lead to poor strength development at early age, The combination of silica fume and fly ash in ternary cementitious system may alleviate this and other concerns, and result in a number of synergistic effects. The aim of the study was to enable evaluation of more realistic suitability of a silica fume-fly ash combination system for ASR resistance based on an in-house modification of ASTM C 1260 test method. The modification can be more closely identified with actual field conditions. In this study three different strengths of NaOH test solution(1N, 0.5N, and 0.25N) were used to measure the expansion characteristics of mortar bar made with a reactive aggregate. The other variable included longer testing period of 28 days instead of a conventional 14 days.

The behavior of concrete containing waste glass as a replacement of cement or aggregate was studied previously in the most of researches, but the present investigation focuses on the recycling of waste glass powder as a substitute for silica fume in high strength concrete (HSC). This endeavor deals with the efficiency of using waste glass powder, as an alternative for silica fume, in the flexural capacity of HSC beam. Thirteen members with dimensions of 0.3 m width, 0.15 m depth and 0.9 m span length were utilized in this work. A comparison study was performed considering HSC members and hybrid beams fabricated by HSC and conventional normal concrete (CC). In addition to the experiments on the influence of glass powder on flexural behavior, numerical analysis was implemented using nonlinear finite element approach to simulate the structural performance of the beams. Same constitutive relationships were selected to model the behavior of HSC with waste glass powder or silica fume to show the matching between the modeling outputs for beams made with these powders. The results showed that the loading capacity and ductility index of the HSC beams with waste glass powder demonstrated enhancing ultimate load and ductility compared with those of HSC specimens with silica fume. The study deduced that the recycled waste glass powder is a good alternative to the pozzolanic powder of silica fume.
