본 논문에서는 Sporosarcina pasteurii라는 미생물의 생체광물형성작용을 이용하여 Calcite($CaCO_3$) 석출을 유도하고, 이를 Mortar에 적용하여 요구 성능 향상을 평가하였다. Sporosarcina pasteurii를 혼입(input)한 Mortar 시험체(C3S-S.p)와 일반 Mortar 시험체(C3S-W)의 중성화 반응을 실험을 통해 비교한 결과 C3S-S.p가 C3S-W에 비해 중성화가 지연되는 것을 육안으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 28日간 Urea-CaCl2 수용액(Medium)에서 양생한 C3S-S.p와 C3S-W의 내구성을 실험을 통해 비교한 결과 Sporosarcina pasteurii를 혼입한 Mortar 시험체(C3S-S.p)가 일반 Mortar 시험체(C3S-W) 비해 내구성이 향상된 것으로 나타났다.

The production of extracellular polysaccharide, EPS WN9, from Paenibacillus sp. and its suitability as a viscosity modifying admixture for cement mortar mixing were investigated. After 48h culture in an optimized medium, cell growth and EPS production were 1.2g/L and 4.0g/L, respectively. By adding EPS WN9 to mortar, it was possible to prepare a homogeneous mortar without material segregation and excess air entrapment. The optimal amount of EPS addition to mortar found to be 0.02 to 0.05%(w/w) of the cement used. Increasing the dosage of EPS WN9 from 0 to 0.05%(w/w) resulted in a setting retardation of 0.14h to 0.8h and an increase in the compressive strength of mortar of 10 to 20%.

Proliferation of algae on the surface of concrete or mortar in aquatic habitat has a negative impact on maintenance of concrete-based structures. Growth of algae may decrease stability of structure by bio-deterioration. In this study, we developed a functional mortar for restraining bio-deterioration by using $Cu^{2+}$ ion. The mortar contains soluble glass beads made of $Cu^{2+}$ ion, which can dissolve into water slowly. Mortars prepared with different ratio of glass beads (0, 2, 5, 10, and 15%) were placed in a culture medium with algae and incubated over a month period. Water chemistry, chlorophyll-a, and extracellular enzyme activities were measured. The incubation was conducted in both freshwater and seawater conditions, to assess applicability to both aquatic conditions. Overall, mortar with Cu glass exhibited lower chlorophyll-a content, suggesting that the functional mortar reduced algal growth. DOC concentration increased because debris of dead algae increased. Cu glass also decreased phosphatase activity, which is involved in the regeneration of inorganic P from organic moieties. Since, P is often a limiting nutrient for algal production, algal growth may be inhibited. Activities of ${\beta}$-glucosidase and N-acetylglucosaminidase were not significantly affected because carbon and nitrogen mineralization may not be influenced by the Cu glass beads. Our study suggests that functional mortar with Cu glass beads may reduce the growth of algae on the surface, while it has little environmental impact.

The alkaliphilic, calcium carbonate precipitating Bacillus sp. strain AK13 can be utilized in concrete for self-repairing. A statistical experimental design was used to develop an economical medium for its mass cultivation and sporulation. Two types of screening experiment were first conducted to identify substrates that promote the growth of the AK13 strain: the first followed a one-factor-at-a-time factorial design and the second a two-level full factorial design. Based on these screening experiments, barley malt powder and mixed grain powder were identified as the substrates that most effectively promoted the growth of the AK13 strain from a range of 21 agricultural products and by-products. A quadratic statistical model was then constructed using a central composite design and the concentration of the two substrates was optimized. The estimated growth and sporulation of Bacillus sp. strain AK13 in the proposed medium were 3.08 ± 0.38 × 10⁸ and 1.25 ± 0.12 × 10⁸ CFU/ml, respectively, which meant that the proposed low-cost medium was approximately 45 times more effective than the commercial medium in terms of the number of cultivatable bacteria per unit price. The spores were then powdered via a spray-drying process to produce a spore powder with a spore count of 2.0 ± 0.7 × 10⁹ CFU/g. The AK13 spore powder was mixed with cement paste, yeast extract, calcium lactate, and water. The yeast extract and calcium lactate generated the highest CFU/ml for AK13 at a 0.4:0.4 ratio compared to 0.4:0.25 (the original ratio of the B4 medium) and 0.4:0.8. Twenty-eight days after the spores were mixed into the mortar, the number of vegetative cells and spores of the AK13 strain had reached 10⁶ CFU/g within the mortar. Cracks in the mortar under 0.29 mm were healed in 14 days. Calcium carbonate precipitation was observed on the crack surface. The mortar containing the spore powder was thus concluded to be effective in terms of healing micro-cracks.

The temperature rise of the mortars while are being irradiated by ultrasonic waves and immersed in a liquid medium, are measured. The mixing ratios of sand to cement are varied for the different mortars. The results of the experiment are as follows, 1. The temperature rise of the mortar is decreased as themixing ration (S/C) is increased. 2. Thd temperature rise of the specimen is increased as its length is increased. 3. The surface conditions, either smooth or rough, may not have much influence on the temperature rise of the mortar. 4. The initial slope of temperature rise may not have much effect of the viscosity of liquid. The results, describes above, appear well coincide with the theory that the temperature rise is attributed mainly to the absorption heating. Since the absorption heating of the mortars varies with the mixing ratios of sand to cement, the strength of them would be estimated by means of irradiation of ultrasonic waves on the specimen.

The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of re-cycling a waste material that is now produced in large quantities, while achieving an improvement of the mechanical properties and durability of the mortar. This study examines the mechanical properties and the durability parameters of mortars incorporating plastics bag wastes (PBW) as fine aggregate by substitution of a variable percentage of sand (10, 20, 30 and 40 %). The influence of the PBW on the, compressive and flexural strength, drying shrinkage, fire resistance, sulfuric acid attack and chloride diffusion coefficient of the different mortars, has been investigated and analyzed in comparison to the control mortar. The results showed that the use of PBW enabled to reduce by 18-23 % the compressive strength of mortars containing 10 and 20 % of waste respectively, which remains always close to the reference mortar (made without waste). The replacement of sand by PBW in mortar slows down the penetration of chloride ions, improves the behavior of mortars in acidic medium and improves the sensitivity to cracking. The results of this investigation consolidate the idea of the use of PBW in the field of construction.

Stress wave propagation through concrete is simulated by finite element analysis. The concrete medium is modeled as a homogeneous material with smeared properties to investigate and establish the suitable finite element analysis method (explicit versus implicit) and analysis parameters (element size, and solution time increment) also suitable for rigorous investigation. In the next step, finite element analysis model of the medium is developed using a digital image processing technique, which distinguishes the mortar and aggregate phases of concrete. The mortar and aggregate phase topologies are, then, directly mapped to the finite element mesh to form a heterogeneous concrete model. The heterogeneous concrete model is then used to simulate wave propagation. The veracity of the model is demonstrated by evaluating the intrinsic parameters of nondestructive ultrasonic pulse velocity testing of concrete. Quantitative relationships between aggregate size and testing frequency for nondestructive testing are presented.

Microbiological calcium carbonate precipitation (MCP) has been investigated for its ability to improve the compressive strength of mortar. However, very few studies have been conducted on the use of calcite-forming bacteria (CFB) to improve compressive strength. In this study, we discovered new bacterial genera that are capable of improving the compressive strength of mortar. We isolated 4 CFB from 7 environmental concrete structures. Using sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes, the CFB could be partially identified as Sporosarcina soli KNUC401, Bacillus massiliensis KNUC402, Arthrobacter crystallopoietes KNUC403, and Lysinibacillus fusiformis KNUC404. Crystal aggregates were apparent in the bacterial colonies grown on an agar medium. Stereomicroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses illustrated both the crystal growth and the crystalline structure of the $CaCO_3$ crystals. We used the isolates to improve the compressive strength of cement-sand mortar cubes and found that KNUC403 offered the best improvement in compressive strength.

완구(碗口)란 유통식 화기로 발사체 장전 부분이 사발(碗) 형태인 화포이다. 발사체로는 비격진천뢰(飛擊震天雷)나 단석(團石) 등을 사용하였다. 『화포식언해(火砲式諺解)』(이서(李曙), 1635)에 의하면, 대·중·소·소소완구 등 총 4종으로 구분되며, 실물은 대완구 1점(보물 제857호), 중완구 2점(보물 제858호, 제859호) 등 총 3점이 전한다. 본 연구에서는 임진왜란기에 제작된 국립진주박물관 소장 중완구(보물 제858호)와 해군사관학교 박물관 소장 중완구(보물 제859호)의 과학적 조사를 토대로 제작 기술을 확인하였다. 첫 번째로 국내 현전하는 중완구가 단 두점인 만큼 정밀 3D 스캐닝 정보를 바탕으로 세부 제원을 서로 비교하고, 동 시기의 문헌 기록 수치와 함께 검토하였다. 전체 크기차는 근소하나 중량에서 5,507g의 차이를 보이고, 세부적으로 심지구멍 위치와 손잡이 길이가 상이하다. 한편 현전 중완구는 『화포식언해』의 중완구 제원과 가장 유사하다. 두 번째로는 중완구의 성분을 분석하고 기존 청동제 화약 무기와 함께 검토하였다. 표면 성분 분석결과, 중완구는 Cu-Sn-Pb의 삼원계 합금이며, 평균 함량(wt%)은 Cu 85.24 : Sn 10.16 : Pb 2.98이다. 중완구의 재료 성분은 기존에 조사된 조선 청동 화약 무기의 평균 성분과 매우 유사하며, 중세 유럽의 청동제 화포 재료(Gun-metal)와도 유사한 경향임을 확인하였다. 마지막으로 중완구 표면의 주조 결함(casting defect)과 CT 상을 토대로 주조 기법을 추정하였다. 측면의 주조분할선으로 보아 주형을 반으로 나눈 분할 제작(piece mold)이며, 용탕의 주입은 약실끝 부분으로 포구가 바닥에 오는 수직 주형 설계로 추정한다. 특히 포신 기벽에서 주형과 코어를 고정하는 보조 장치인 채플릿(chaplets)이 확인되므로 이는 기벽을 일정하게 형성하는 역할을 했을 것이다. 한편 보물 제858호와 제859호 중완구 두 점은 외형이 매우 유사하지만, 채플릿의 수량과 배치가 상이하여 주형 설계 일부가 달랐을 것으로 예상한다.
