최근 모래가격이 급등하고 수급이 어려워져 비교적 가격이 저렴한 코코넛껍질 압축매트와 황마필터로 구성된 수평 천연섬유배수재가 모래 대체재료로서 각광 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 수평 천연섬유배수재의 인장강도와 투수특성을 평가하여 수평 배수재로서의 사용성을 평가하였다. 수평 천연섬유배수재의 인장특성을 분석한 결과 코코넛껍질 매트의 매우 낮은 인장강도에도 불구하고 대부분의 인장강도가 황마필터에서 발휘되므로 Christopher와 Holtz(1985)가 제안한 일반적인 토목섬유에 대한 인장강도 기준을 훨씬 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 매우 높은 압축하중에서 수평 천연섬유배수재의 투수성을 평가한 결과 일반적인 모래의 투수계수보다 높은 투수성을 나타내는 것으로 평가되었다. 이와 같은 결과를 종합적으로 분석하면, 수평 천연섬유배수재는 기존의 모래재료를 대체할 수 있는 배수재료로 사용이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

The determination of the mixture parameters of stabilization has become a great concern in geotechnical applications. This paper presents an effort about the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques including radial basis neural network (RBNN), multi-layer perceptrons (MLP), generalized regression neural network (GRNN) and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS) in order to predict the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) of silty soil stabilized with bottom ash (BA), jute fiber (JF) and steel fiber (SF) under different freeze-thaw cycles (FTC). The dosages of the stabilizers and number of freeze-thaw cycles were employed as input (predictor) variables and the UCS values as output variable. For understanding the dominant parameter of the predictor variables on the UCS of stabilized soil, a sensitivity analysis has also been performed. The performance measures of root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and determination coefficient ($R^2$) were used for the evaluations of the prediction accuracy and applicability of the employed models. The results indicate that the predictions due to all AI techniques employed are significantly correlated with the measured UCS ($p{\leq}0.05$). They also perform better predictions than nonlinear regression (NLR) in terms of the performance measures. It is found from the model performances that RBNN approach within AI techniques yields the highest satisfactory results (RMSE = 55.4 kPa, MAE = 45.1 kPa, and $R^2=0.988$). The sensitivity analysis demonstrates that the JF inclusion within the input predictors is the most effective parameter on the UCS responses, followed by FTC.

Organo-montmorillonite (OMMT) has attracted much attention for fiber-reinforced polymer composites as a filler material due to high aspect ratio and low charge density. The present study focused on the fabrication of nanocomposites using Vinyl ester and Jute fabric as matrix and reinforcement respectively. The OMMT was uniformly dispersed in vinyl ester resin at 1, 2 and 3 wt%, loading through high speed mechanical stirrer at room temperature and further nanocomposites were manufactured through vacuum assisted resin infusion (VARI) technique. Effects of OMMT on the mechanical properties of vinyl ester/Jute composites were carefully investigated through tensile, bending and Izod impact tests, which revealed significant improvement in mechanical properties. The morphology of the nanocomposites after tensile test was investigated by SEM which affirmed that OMMT filled nanocomposites has improved interactions with the host matrix than the pure composites. Based on the nature and flame retardancy mechanism, the OMMT slightly improved the flammability property which was clearly explained by horizontal burning test.

본 연구에서는 황마/폴리프로필렌 강화 섬유 복합재료를 사출성형 방법으로 제조하였으며, 섬유와 열가소성 기지재의 친화력과 접착력을 향상시키기 위해 말레산 무수물(Maleic anhydride, MA)을 결합제로 사용하였다. 천연 섬유인 황마의 표면처리 관찰을 위해서 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 적외선분광기(FTIR)를 사용하였고, 인장 및 굽힘 특성을 확인하기 위하여 기계적 특성 시험을 수행하였으며, 수분흡수율도 측정하여 비교하였다. 인장 및 굽힘 시험 결과 황마 복합재료(JFRP)는 기지재로 사용된 폴리프로필렌(PP)보다 높은 강도와 탄성계수를 나타내었고, 황마 복합재료의 강도 및 탄성계수는 결합제의 비율을 1~3%까지 증가시킴에 따라 높은 결과를 보였다. 이는 결합제의 비율을 증가시킬수록 섬유와 기지재 사이의 계면접착력을 향상시킬 수 있음을 의미한다.

In order to obtain the most practical and economically efficient method for refining of kenaf fiber and the production possibility of bag dproucts by using kenaf, Various chemicals and conditions of treatment for refining of kenaf bark were examined. Refining by the retting method was found much beneficial in quality of fiber and in processing cost than the chemical mettled. Bag products by using kenaf bark has good quality , and for practical use, Even if the production cost is slightly more expensive than jute bag, it could be reduced by planned mass production.

The purpose of this study is to improve the environmental applicability of nonwovens by using special composition. Polypropylene spunbonded and needle punched nonwovens which have the lower cost than polyester nonwovens were used as the raw materials to manufacture the natural fiber used nonwoven geotextiles. These geotextiles were made by use of the thermal bonding methods and composed of jute(or flax)/polypropylene staple fiber blends were obtained in consideration of environmental application. Finally, the engineering properties of natural fiber used nonwoven geotextiles were investigated as eco-friendly materials.

환경 문제가 대두 됨에 따라 세계 각국에서는 환경규제를 통해서 산업계에 친환경 제품의 개발을 독려하고 있어 생분해성 재료에 대한 산업계의 관심이 높아지고 있다. 생분해성 재료인 Polylactic acid(PLA)는 강성과 내화학성이 뛰어나지만 내열성과 내충격성이 낮아서 자동차용 재료로서 요구되는 성능을 만족시킬 수 없다. 이에 본 연구에서는 천연섬유(황마)를 강화재로 사용하여 PLA의 내열성과 내충격성을 향상 시키기 위한 실험을 수행하였다. 특히 PLA와 황마 계면 간의 결합력을 증가시키기 위해 다양한 표면처리를 수행하였고 내충격성이 향상됨을 확인하였다. 또, 어닐링 처리를 통해서 PLA의 내열성이 크게 증가함을 보였다.

Fiber drain(FD), which is made of organic fibers from jute and coir, has recently been used in several construction projects in the Southeast and East Asia region involving the soil improvement of reclamation fills overlying marine clay. FD is an environmentally friendly product that will naturally be biodegraded into soil after the completion of performance duration as a vertical drain. However, the conventional FD has limited and low-ranged discharge capacity compared to PVD. For this, in this study, the improvement of FD was attempted and new shaped FDs were evaluated by laboratory tests. A series of discharge capacity test was performed to investigate the functional applicability for several types of FDs.

In this study, three kinds of cellulose fibers to crack reduction performance were evaluated and the results are as follows. Plastic shrinkage cracking is evaluated by the relative crack area, at all levels between $0.9kg/m^3$ and $1.2kg/m^3$, except for UF0.9% of upto50% showed are duction compared with Plain. In according to recommended amount of fiber in each area of the crack HF0.9>CEL1.2>UF0.6 effect of the order was more effective. While the impact strength of UF and CEL fibers until the final destruction are about five times the number of falls, HF fiber count drop was 10-18 time.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of four different cleaning method of silk and to fabrics, which were excavated from the sixteenth century tombs. The four cleaning methods were hand washing in water and hand washing in solvent, washing in ultrasonic cleaner, and using of ultrasonic gun after washing in ultrasonic cleaner. The following is the result of the experiment: ㆍBoth silk and jute fabrics shrank the most after hand-wash in water. This cleaning method decreased their thickness the most but changed their strength the least. However, the color of the fabric changed the most after had-wash in water. This washing method might discolor the dyed fabric, so one must check the condition of the fabric thoroughly before washing it. ㆍThe weight and the thickness of the fabric changed little after ultrasonic cleaning. This cleaning method, therefore. is less efficient than hand-water-wash. The use of ultrasonic gun after ultrasonic wash for partial cleansing enhanced the efficiency a little. Nevertheless, this method left stain around the area where the gun was used, and the injected water could damage the fabric. ㆍThe excavated fabric became softer in the cleaning process as the dirt was washed away. In both cases of silk and jute fabrics cleaning, solvent made the fabric softer than water. Washed in solvent, the fabric did not swell. But water penetrated to the fiber during the cleaning process and made the fabric swell. When the water evaporates, the swollen fiber structure collapses and the fabric become stiff. Ultrasonic wash did not cause much change in the flexibility of the fabric, for this method does not remove the dirt as effectively as the other method.
