  • 본 논문의 주된 목적은 농업용 이동로 또는 농업용수의 공급을 위하여 사용되는 파형 강판 파이프아치 암거가 고속도로 및 지방국도를 통과할 때 설계 및 시공 시 요구되는 최소 토피 두께를 제안하는데 있다. 1998년 이후 농업용 목적으로 사용되는 파형 강판 암거는 서해안 고속도로의 건설과 더불어 그 수요량이 증가하였으며, 이에 따른 설계 및 시공의 빈도수 또한 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 그러나 이를 뒷받침 할 수 있는 국내 규정은 아직 미약한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 파형 강판 암거의 설계 및 시공 시 고려해야 할 가장 중요한 인자 중 하나인 최소 토피에 대한 연구를 수행하고 그 두께를 제안하였다. 현재 국내 및 미국에서 사용되고 있는 최소 토피 두께는 암거의 스판 길이 또는 스판 길이와 암거의 높이 비율의 관계로부터 정해지는 것으로 구조적인 특성치를 포함하고 있지 않다. 제안된 최소 토피 두께는 암거의 형상적 특성, 설계 하중, 강판의 구조적특성과 손상 등을 반영하여 파형 강판 암거의 안전성을 극대화 하였다. 제안된 토피 두께는 미국과 국내 도로공사에서 규정하고 있는 토피 두께와 비교 분석하였으며, 그 결과 국내 규정이 더욱 안전성을 고려하고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

  • Every display is equipped with a cover glass to protect the underneath displaying devices from mechanical and environmental impact during its use. The strengthened glass such as Gorilla glass.$^{TM}$ has been exclusively adopted as a cover glass in many displays. Conventionally, the strengthened glass has been manufactured via ion-exchange process in wet salt bath at high temperature of around $500^{\circ}C$ for hours of treatment time. During ion-exchange process, Na ions with smaller diameter are substituted with larger-diameter K ions, resulting in high compressive stress in near-surface region and making the treated glass very resistant to scratch or impact during its use. In this study, PIIID (plasma immersion ion implantation and deposition) technique was used to implant metal ions into the glass surface for strengthening. In addition, due to the plasmonic effect of the implanted metal ions, the metal-ion implanted glass samples got colored. To implant metal ions, plasma immersion ion implantation technique combined with HiPIMS method was adopted. The HiPIMS pulse voltage of up to 1.4 kV was applied to the 3" magnetron sputtering targets (Cu, Ag, Au, Al). At the same time, the sample stage with glass samples was synchronously pulse-biased via -50 kV high voltage pulse modulator. The frequency and pulse width of 100 Hz and 15 usec, respectively, were used during metal ion implantation. In addition, nitrogen ions were implanted to study the strengthening effect of gas ion implantation. The mechanical and optical properties of implanted glass samples were investigated using micro-hardness tester and UV-Vis spectrometer. The implanted ion distribution and the chemical states along depth was studied with XPS (X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy). A cross-sectional TEM study was also conducted to investigate the nature of implanted metal ions. The ion-implanted glass samples showed increased hardness of ~1.5 times at short implantation times. However, with increasing the implantation time, the surface hardness was decreased due to the accumulation of implantation damage.

  • At the current situation of continuous utilization of heavy metal contaminated upland for agricultural purpose in Korea, minimizing transport of heavy metals from soil to crops is important for securing safety of human health. The present study (in field scale) examined the efficiency of several soil amendments (dolomite, steel slag, lime, zeolite, and compost) on reduction of phytoavailable heavy metals (Cd, Cu, Pb, and Zn) in soil through comparison with no amendment treatment and clean soil cover treatment. For determination of the phytoavailability, 1 M $NH_4NO_3$ extraction and red pepper cultivation were introduced. Among the amendments, in general, dolomite and steel slag were the most effective in reduction of metal (Cd, Pb, and Zn) phytoavailability resulting in less accumulation of these metals in shoot and fruit of red pepper. However, dolomite and steel slag treatment was not as effective as clean soil cover treatment which showed the least metal accumulation in red pepper fruit. Nevertheless, with taking into account the cost, treatment of dolomite or steel slag can be competitive method because the current study showed that dolomite or steel slag treatment reduced accumulated heavy metal concentration effectively in both shoot and fruit of red pepper compared to those from control soil and the concentration in fruit was within the standard value (<0.2 mg $kg^{-1}$ for both Cd and Pb).

  • A new approach to process optimal design in non-isothermal, non-steady state metal forming is presented. In this approach, the optimal design problem is formulated on the basis of the integrated thermo-mechanical finite element process model so as to cover a wide range of the objective functions and design variables, and the derivative based approach is adopted for conducting optimization by design iteration. The process model, the formulation for process optimal design, and the procedures for the evaluation of the design sensitivity and for design iteration for optimization are described.

  • In this study, the utilization of coal-ash and phosphogypsum was considered as the evapotranspiration final landfill cover(ET cover) material. Cover material considered was the mixture of the weathered granite soil, coal-ash and phosphogypsum and so we sequentially performed the leaching test, column test and field model test to investigate the environmental effects of mixtures of coal-ash and phosphogypsum. In the leaching test, all materials had lower heavy metal concentration than the regulated threshold values. The column test and the review of related regulations were carried out to determine the optimum mixing ratio(OMR) and OMR was soil(4):coal-ash(1): phosphogypsum(1) on the volume base, which was applied to field model test. Field model tests were continued from February to June, 2004 in the soil box that was constructed with cement block. It was verified that coal-ash and phospogypsum mixed with soil was safe environmentally and the mixture of both wastes could improve the water retention capacity of cover materials.

  • The intensity of stormwater runoff is particularly acute across cities located in arid climates. During flash floods loose sediment and pollutants are typically transported across sun-hardened surfaces contributing to widespread degradation of water quality. Rapid, dense urbanization exacerbates the problem by creating continuous areas of impervious surfaces, perforated only by a few green patches. Our work demonstrates how the latest techniques in remote sensing can be used to routinely measure urban land cover types, impervious cover, and vegetated areas. In addition, multiple regression models can then infer relationships between urban land use and land cover types with stormwater quality data, initially sampled at discrete monitoring sites, and then extrapolated annually across an arid city; in our case, the city of Phoenix in Arizona, USA. Results reveal that from 30 storm event samples, solids and heavy metal pollutants were found to be highly related with general impervious surfaces; in particular, with industrial and commercial land use types. Repercussions stemming from this work include support for public policies that advocate environmental sustainability and the more recent focus on urban livability. Also, advocacy for new urban construction and re-development that both steer away from vast unbroken impervious surfaces, in place of more fragmented landscapes that harmonize built and green spaces.

  • The analytical models and algorithm of the SPIKE code, which has been developed by KAERI's KALIMER team to investigate the sodium-water reaction phenomena in the liquid metal reactor, were introduced with its verification calculation results. The sodium water reaction of KALIMER IHTS was evaluated. Early stage of the sodium-water reaction consists of wave and mass transfer regimes. The pressure variations were independent of specific design features in the wave transfer regime. However in the mass transfer regime, the pressure variations were strongly dependent on cover gas volume and rupture disk set pressure. The early stage SWR analysis showed that the KALIMER IHTS with an appropriate cover gas volume and rupture disk set pressure had enough margin to its design pressure.

  • This paper describes the countermeasures for preventing the electric shock which can be occurred in the low-voltage handhole underwater. Low-voltage handholes were designed and made for the test in the testing field. Which were installed 4 cases. a metal handhole cover was employed in case 1; FRP(Fiber glass Reinforced Plastic) handhole cover in case 2; an insulated rubber was put on the joint of the cables in case 3; the exposed conductors(cover, frame etc) were commoned and grounded in case 4. Thus, an ground potential near the low-voltage handhole was measured and evaluated quantitatively for the 4 cases. The measured results show that the potential of case 2.3 were lower than that of case 1 because the insulated rubber and the FRP cover prevented direct contact to the fault point. The case 4 is the lowest among the 4 cases because the common and grounding helps the fault current release into the ground, which makes the ground potential rise lower. As a result, although each case has the defects, these ways can effectively lower the electric shock risk in the low-voltage handhole.

  • In the present work, rigid-plastic continuum elements employing the shape change and anisotropic effects are derived for the purpose of applying more realistic blankholding force condition in three-dimensional finite element analysis of sheet metal forming process. In order to incorporate the effect of shape change effectively in the derivation of finite element equation using continuum element for sheet metal forming, the convected coordinate system is introduced, rendering the analysis more rigorous and accurate. The formulation is extended to cover the orthotropic material using Hill's quadratic yield function. For the purpose of applying more realistic blankholding force condition, distributed normal and associated frictional tangent forces are employed in the blankholder, which is pressed normal and associated frictional tangent forces are employed in the blankholder, which is pressed against the flange until the resultant contact force with the blank reaches the prescribed value. As an example of sheet metal forming process coupling the effect of planar anisotropy and that of blankholding boundary condition, circular cup deep drawing has been analyzed considering both effects together.

  • This paper presents an UHF(Ultra High Frequency) band small cavity structured RFID(Radio Frequency Identification) tag antenna with a long reading range, designed to apply on metal cart or pallet for auto-parts logistics. The size of tag antennas is $140{\times}60{\times}10mm^3$, attached on a exporting metal cart, and it can give the information of inventory and logistics of carts. By collecting the exported carts and increasing the recovery rate of missing carts or pallets, the paid import tax can be refunded when the carts are returned back to the manufacture. The tag antenna was equipped with a cover to prevent damage, and the dielectric constant of the cover is considered for the simulation. The reading range of the tag antenna is 12 m using LP(Linear Polarization), 10 m with CP(Circular Polarization) reader antennas. This 920 MHz UHF RFID cavity tag ensures the long reading distance of the antenna regardless of the material of the object where it is attached.
