Results of environmental monitoring for 35 steel industry welders exposed to manganese and chromium fume were evaluated. Efficiency of respiratory protectors, welding face shields and local exhaust ventilation were also evaluated to establish more efficient preventive measures that can protect welders from occupational disease as related to welding fume. The results are as follows; 1. Total fume from $CO_2$ arc welding with mild steel occurred 1.5 to 2.2 times more than that from shielded metal arc welding. Chromium and nickel fume from welding with stainless steel occurred 27 to 59 times and 18 to 30 times, respectively, than those with mild steel. 2. Proportions of water-soluble chromium(VI) and insoluble chromium(VI) Compare to total chromium occurring from $CO_2$ arc welding with stainless steel were 10.5% and 8.7%, respectively, while those with mild steel were 57.1 to 63.2% and 31.6 to 38.1%, respectively. 3. The efficiencies of 4 types of respiratory protectors to reduce welding fume exposure were evaluated as 54.4 to 64.4%. 4. The reducing effect of head type welding face shield was 67.6%, and that of hand type welding face shield was 58.5%. The highest reducing effect was shown in air supply welding face shield as 99.2%, although it is not convenient to wear. 5. When welding face shield and respiratory protectors were worn together, the reducing efficiency increased to 79.0 to 87.5%. 6. When local exhaust ventilation was installed in workplace, the reducing efficiencies varied from 31.5 to 73.1% according to the types of welding.

The airborne concentrations of the welding fumes produced during $CO_2$ arcwelding process at shipbuilding, shiprepairing, container manufacturing and car accessary manufacturing industry were investigated. The effects how much reduced the welding fume were checked when the portable fan was used. The results were as follows; 1.The geometric mean of welding fume concentration in shipbuilding factory was $10.05mg/m^3$. This exposure concentration was higher than other 3 manufacturing industries at 95% confidence level. 2. The sampling filters for welding fume could be digested with acid within 1 hour by microwave oven. The recoveries for investigated metal elements were all over 95%. 3. The optimal wavelength could be selected for the simultaneous analysis of 8 metal elements by ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma). 4. Noxious gases($O_1,NO_2$) produced during $CO_1$ gas arc welding process were detected that the concentration of ozone($O_1$) was less than 0.01 ppm and that of nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) was 0.01-0.03 ppm. 5. The geometric mean of welding fume particle diameter was $1.26{\mu}m$ and geometric standard deviation was 1.51 for the counts when particle an analyzer(ELZONE) had been used. 6. When the portable fan had been used,the reduced percent of total welding fume for workers was about 47.8% when portable fan was applied to blow and 71.7% when to exhaust.

This paper conveys the effects of fly ash and silica fume incorporated in concrete at various replacement ratios on the durability properties of concretes. It is quite well known that concrete durability is as much important as strength and permeability is the key to durability. Permeability is closely associated with the voids system of concrete. Concrete, with less and disconnected voids, is assumed to be impermeable. The void system in concrete is straightly related to the mix proportions, placing, compaction, and curing procedures of concrete. Reinforced concrete structures, particularly those of subjected to water, are at the risk of various harmful agents such as chlorides and sulfate since the ingress of such agents through concrete becomes easy and accelerates as the permeability of concrete increases. Eventually, both strength and durability of concrete reduce as the time moves on, in turn; the service life of the concrete structures shortens. Mineral additives have been proven to be very effective in reducing permeability. The tests performed to accomplish the aim of the study are the rapid chloride permeability test, pressurized water depth test, capillarity test and compressive strength test. The results derived from these tests indicated that the durability properties of concretes incorporated fly ash and silica fume have improved substantially compared to that of without mineral additives regardless of the binder content used. Overall, the improvement becomes more evident as the replacement ratio of fly ash and silica fume have increased. With regard to permeability, silica fume is found to be superior to fly ash. Moreover, at least a 30% fly ash replacement and/or a replacement ratio of 5% to 10% silica fume have been found to be highly beneficial as far as sustainability is concerned, particularly for concretes subjected to chloride bearing environments.

메타카올린은 고령토나 카올린으로 알려진 카올린 광물의 풍화물로, 도자기 산업에 주로 사용되는 원료로, 일반적으로 메타카올린의 입자 크기는 시멘트보다는 작지만, 마이크로 실리카퓸보다는 크다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트용 혼화재로 메타카올린을 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항 특성에 관한 영향에 관해 조사하였다. 메타카올린과 실리카퓸의 혼입률이 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항에 주는 영향을 비교하기 위해 물-결합재비를 30%로 고정하고 각각 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%인 배합수준을 설정하여 비교하였다. 연구결과 메타카올린을 혼입한 콘크리트는 실리카퓸을 혼입한 콘크리트와 유사한 강도특성을 보였지만, 염소이온 투과저항성은 다소 불리한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 강도와 염소이온 투과저항 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위한 메타카올린의 혼입률은 10% 정도인 것으로 나타났다.

Background: Exposure to welding fume is associated with adverse effects on worker health. The use of various control measures can reduce levels of exposure and the resulting health effects. However, little is known about the factors that may influence workers' use of control measures in the workplace and their perceived intervention needs. This study aimed to investigate workers' and other stakeholders' views on ways to improve the use of welding fume control measures in Australian workplaces. Methods: We conducted a series of online focus group discussions and individual interviews with participants who have some occupational involvement in welding, whether as workers, employers or industry representatives, union representatives, or regulators. A semi-structured question guide was used, and all discussions and interviews were recorded and transcribed for analysis. Results: Five focus group discussions and five individual interviews were conducted with a total of 21 participants. Three major themes emerged. The first addressed the current awareness of welding fume harms and concern about exposure; the second focussed on the current use of control measures, and barriers and facilitators to their use; and the last centred around intervention needs and the contents of a potential effective intervention. Conclusion: Improving the use of control measures to prevent exposure to welding fume requires knowledge around the barriers and facilitators of control, use, and the intervention needs of stakeholders. This study has provided such knowledge, which will facilitate the design and implementation of an intervention to reduce welding fume exposure and ultimately protect the health of workers.

NATM의 미세 구조는 SEM, FT-IR, 인장특성, 그리고 [NCO]/[OH]의 mole %, 입도분석에 의해 측정하였다. 친환경적인 NATM에 관한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 스테인레스 등의 금속코팅에 더욱더 중요한 무용제 도료의 발전을 이끈다. 우리는 스테인레스 스틸의 부식을 방지할 수 있는 NATM(New Austria Tunnel Method)의 수지를 합성하였다. 폴리우레탄과 에폭시로 합성한 혼성 수지는 일반적 NATM 수지와 도료와 비교하여 강도와 내구력이 매우 양호하다. 혼성수지는 폴리올, 에폭시, MDI, 실리콘 계면활성제, 촉매, 가교제, 충전제로 구성된다. 충전제인 fume silica는 경화속도를 가속시킬 뿐만 아니라 열적 장벽으로 물성이 우수함을 나타냈다. NATM 수지의 기계적 특성은 [NCO]/[OH]의 mole%와 fume silica가 증가함에 따라 강도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로 가교제와 fume silica가 함유된 혼성수지의 미세구조는 스테인레스 스틸같은 금속물질의 열경화코팅을 위한 좋은 물질이다.

초고성능 콘크리트(UHPC)는 낮은 물-결합재비를 바탕으로 다량의 강섬유, 실리카퓸, 충전재 및 고성능 감수제를 사용한다. UHPC는 높은 역학적 성능을 가지는 대신 실리카퓸을 사용함에 따라 점성이 증가되며 고가의 재료를 다량으로 사용하기 때문에 제조비용이 일반 콘크리트에 비하여 고가이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 180MPa급 UHPC의 점성 저하를 위하여 실리카퓸 대신 지르코늄 실리카퓸(Zr)을 사용한 UHPC의 고성능 감수제(SP)의 사용량 및 종류, 충전재 크기에 따른 공학적 특성을 분석하였다. 그 결과 W/B 20%, Zr 100% 사용, SP-L 사용량 2~3%, 강섬유 혼입율 1.5 vol.%이고 $4{\mu}m$의 충전재를 사용하는 Zr-UHPC의 경우 기존의 실리카퓸을 사용한 배합에 비하여 우수한 유동성을 발현하고 압축강도 180MPa이상 확보 하였다. 또한 기존 UHPC 대비 33%의 제조비용 절감이 가능한 것으로 분석되었다.

연무거동을 해석하는 방법 중에서 실물을 이용한 실험방법이 가장 믿을 수 있는 자료를 제공하지만 여러 가지 제한사항들로 인해 축소모델실험을 이용한 상사방법이나 CFD(computational fluid dynamics)를 이용한 수치해석적 방법이 대안으로 채택되고 있다. 본 연구는 연무거동을 수치해석적 방법으로 예측하여 연층의 높이에 따른 배기량을 산정하고자 했다. 수치해석에 사용된 격자는 축소실험에서 사용된 모델 A, B와 동일한 크기 및 형상을 가진다. 배기량은 수치해석으로 예측된 연소생성물들의 몰비를 이용하여 연층의 높이를 예측하고 그때의 배기가스 온도 및 유속으로 산정되었다. 수치해석 결과, 벽면 열손실 및 복사효과를 고려하여 예측된 배기량이 축소모델 실험결과의 표준편차 범위 내에 존재하였지만 에너지 방출량이 증가할수록 예측된 연무의 온도가 실험과 많은 차이를 보였고 비교적 열손실에 의한 영향이 적은 모델 B를 이용한 계산결과에서는 연무의 거동이 실험결과와 유사한 패턴을 가지는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 열손실을 보정할 적절한 보정계수를 구할 수 있다면 배기량 산정에 관한 다양한 후속연구를 수치해석적 방법을 이용해 진행할 수 있을 것이라 사료된다.

We made a selection of engine operating conditions in the natural aspiration type diesel engine as load and speed. The effects on the power, smoke emission and cylinder pressure characteristics of these variations in operating conditions were observed experimentally. Also, the smoke emission was predicted by using the Arrhenius equation and empirical equation of the smoke emission was made. At the same time, the correlations, between the combustion and smoke emission characteristic were examined. From the above results, it is clear that to prevent power dropping and to decrease exhaust fume whin the conditions are changed, one should improve the intake system. To do this, the best way is to lower the air-fuel mixing ratio. We found that the parameters of the indicated mean effective pressure, maximum pressure and its location and combustion duration, etc. change the motion in accordance with the conditions described above. Also, we found that the variation of the pressure cycle comes from an amplified variation of the early part of process. From the analysis of comparing combustion and exhaust fume, the exhaust fume is produced at the latter time of combustion and decreased when the combustion ratio is higher. Also, we developed a special formula which can predict the exhaust fume value according to the engine load and speed.

These materials in architecturally glass or metal have weaknesses such as inadequate insulating quality, combustibility and toxic gases in fires substance. However, Autoclaved Lightweight Concrete(ALC) has excellent thermal insulation properties and seem to possess the superb insulating quality as substitute of existing exterior materials. This research is to compare experimentally to the kind of the strength properties of ALC materials which mixed with blast furnace slag pounder and silica fume. For the purpose of increasing the strength, the plastic states of ALC evaluate the physical characteristics as microstructure and strength according to various specific gravity. According to the quicklime quantity the compressive strength is proportionate depend on the absolute dried specific gravity. When not putting in 10% quicklime, the compressive strength appeared most lowly with 14.0MPa. When putting in the quicklime, the strength appeared higher with 15.1MPa. And strength of specimen containing 2.25% silica fume is 15.6MPa increased 10.3% than reference specimen 14.0MPa.
