  • 지금까지 항공기 충돌에 대한 안전성 검토는 국부거동 및 전반거동으로 나뉘어 검토되어 왔으며, 이 중 국부거동의 평가는 RC (Reinforcement Concrete)벽체를 대상으로 실험에 기초하여 제시된 국부손상 평가식을 사용하여 검토되었다. 그러나 최근 적용이 시작된 SC (Steel plate reinforced Concrete)벽체의 항공기 충돌에 대한 국부적인 거동 및 손상을 평가할 수 있는 자료는 거의 없는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 연성 충격체인 이상화된 항공기 엔진을 대상으로 콘크리트 벽체의 두께 및 강판의 강재비를 변수로 충돌해석을 수행하여 SC벽체 및 RC벽체의 국부손상을 평가하였다. SC벽체 및 RC벽체에 대한 충돌해석결과로부터 국부손상에서 나타나는 관입깊이를 상호 비교분석하였다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate the awareness of elementary school teachers on the socio-scientific issues. Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident was used by concrete issue connected with SSI for this study. Participants in this study were twelve elementary school teachers studying at K University Graduate School of Education, located in the central region, who underwent a semi-structured interview. The study method was the phenomenological research method which is one of the qualitative research methods, and the interview papers had been examined by three scientific experts. As a result of the study, it was divided into twenty six themes, eight theme clusters, and two categories, and considered the thoughts on the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, its influence on Korea, the relationship between science and society as a result of the Fukushima nuclear power plant accident, interested in social issues related to science, application in class, response from students and the influence on students. Teachers had a general understanding of science-related social issues, but did not have much interest in the subject. However, they mentioned that to apply the issues in the curriculum would have a positive influence and encourage scientific motivation in students and, furthermore, helped them to develop the awareness of science in their surroundings. A greater interest in socio-scientific issues need to require from teachers and, through including these issues in the curriculum, we should have positive influence in developing science education.

  • In order to obtain improved concrete mix proportion on nuclear power plant structures, the properties of normal concrete is compared with self-compacting concrete. In addition, various mixes of self-compacting concrete utilizing melaminic acid based admixture is mutually compared and estimated. Because existing normal concrete mixes might occur high temperature in concrete structure, A new multi-component concrete, which declines hydration heat, is demanded. Therefore, in this study, the possibility of manufacturing self-compacting concrete is verified and what influences melaminic acid and various powders have on the properties of self-compacting concrete are investigated.

  • The objective of this study was to experimentally investigate the effect of heat curing methods on the temperature history and strength development of slab concrete exposed to $-10^{\circ}C$. The goal was to determine proper heat curing methods for the protection of nuclear power plant structures against early-age frost damage under adverse (cold) conditions. Two types of methods were studied: heat insulation alone and in combination with a heating cable. For heat curing with heat insulation alone, either sawdust or a double layer bubble sheet (2-BS) was applied. For curing with a combination of heat insulation and a heating cable, an embedded heating cable was used with either a sawdust cover, a 2-BS cover, or a quadruple layer bubble sheet (4-BS) cover. Seven different slab specimens with dimensions of $1200{\times}600{\times}200$ mm and a design strength of 27 MPa were fabricated and cured at $-10^{\circ}C$ for 7 d. The application of sawdust and 2-BS allowed the concrete temperature to fall below $0^{\circ}C$ within 40 h after exposure to $-10^{\circ}C$, and then, the temperature dropped to $-10^{\circ}C$ and remained there for 7 d owing to insufficient thermal resistance. However, the combination of a heating cable plus sawdust or 2-BS maintained the concrete temperature around $5^{\circ}C$ for 7 d. Moreover, the combination of the heating cable and 4-BS maintained the concrete temperature around $10^{\circ}C$ for 7 d. This was due to the continuous heat supply from the heating cable and the prevention of heat loss by the 4-BS. For maturity development, which is an index of early-age frost damage, the application of heat insulation materials alone did not allow the concrete to meet the minimum maturity required to protect against early-age frost damage after 7 d, owing to poor thermal resistance. However, the combination of the heating cable and the heat insulating materials allowed the concrete to attain the minimum maturity level after just 3 d. In the case of strength development, the heat insulation materials alone were insufficient to achieve the minimum 7-d strength required to prevent early-age frost damage. However, the combination of a heating cable and heat insulating materials met both the minimum 7-d strength and the 28-d design strength owing to the heat supply and thermal resistance. Therefore, it is believed that by combining a heating cable and 4-BS, concrete exposed to $-10^{\circ}C$ can be effectively protected from early-age frost damage and can attain the required 28-d compressive strength.

  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the capability of different strength-maturity models to account for the effect of the hydration heat on the in-place strength development of high-strength concrete specifically developed for nuclear facility structures under various ambient curing temperatures. To simulate the primary containment-vessel of a nuclear reactor, three 1200-mm-thick wall specimens were prepared and stored under isothermal conditions of approximately $5^{\circ}C$ (cold temperature), $20^{\circ}C$ (reference temperature), and $35^{\circ}C$ (hot temperature). The in situ compressive strengths of the mock-up walls were measured using cores drilled from the walls and compared with strengths estimated from various strength-maturity models considering the internal temperature rise owing to the hydration heat. The test results showed the initial apparent activation energies at the hardening phase were approximately 2 times higher than the apparent activation energies until the final setting. The differences between core strengths and field-cured cylinder strengths became more notable at early ages and with the decrease in the ambient curing temperature. The strength-maturity model proposed by Yang provides better reliability in estimating in situ strength of concrete than that of Kim et al. and Pinto and Schindler.

  • 경수로 원전을 대상으로 원전 내 방사화 대상 물질인 스테인리스강, 탄소강 및 콘크리트의 불순물 정보 적용여부에 따른 방사화 핵종 재고량을 계산하였다. 본 연구에서 탄소강은 압력용기 물질에 사용되었고, 스테인리스강은 압력용기 내부 물질에 사용되었으며, 일반 콘크리트가 생체 차폐체에 사용되었다. 금속 물질에 대해서는 참고자료 1개의 불순물 함량 정보를 적용하였고, 콘크리트 물질에서는 참고자료 5개의 불순물 함량 정보를 적용하여 평가를 수행하였다. 방사화 핵종 재고량 전산해석 시 중성자속 계산에는 MCNP 전산코드를, 방사화 계산에는 FISPACT 전산코드를 각각 사용하였다. 계산 결과, 금속 물질에서 불순물을 포함한 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 비방사능이 2배 이상 높았으며, 특히 콘크리트에서는 불순물을 포함한 경우가 그렇지 않은 경우보다 최대 30배 이상 비방사능이 높게 계산되었다. 방사화 핵종의 생성반응과 재고량을 분석한 결과, 금속 구조물에서는 불순물 중 Co원소와 중성자에 의해 생성되는 방사화 핵종인 Co-60이, 콘크리트에서는 불순물 중 Co, Eu 원소와 중성자에 의해 생성되는 방사화 핵종인Co-60, Eu-152, Eu-154 이 방사성폐기물 준위 결정에 큰 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 원전 해체 계획 수립 시 방사화 핵종 재고량 평가 및 규제에 활용될 수 있을 뿐 아니라, 해체를 고려한 원전 또는 원자력시설의 설계 단계에서도 참고자료로 활용 될 것으로 판단된다.

  • To evaluate the structural integrity of the NPP containment building more rigorously, the effective prestress, which is one of the most affecting elements, needs to be estimated exactly. This paper presents the results of an experimental study to determine the effective prestress force in prestressed concrete beams. It is possible to improve the effective prestress measuring method by test beam, which is being applied for the investigation of the nuclear power plant in operation. If experimentally evaluated Lift-Off method in this study can be coupled with test beam test currently being used in in-service nuclear power plant, it is possible to measure prestress loss of the tendon and the level of the effective prestress load.

  • The purpose of this paper is to quantitatively investigate aging state of epoxy coating on containment structure at nuclear power plant. In order to evaluate an physical bonding of the epoxy coating, adhesion test was performed on a degraded epoxy coating on concrete specimens fabricated by accelerated aging experiment. In addition, impedance data by ultrasonic test were measured to compare with adhesion data. From almost 50 % of the specimens, aging phenomena of epoxy coating such as pin hole, blistering was discovered. To improve reliability on quality degradation of epoxy, co-relation between two kinds of different data was analyzed. By tracing co-related these data, it was possible to figure out physical state of as-built epoxy coating. The possibility to develop new methodology of time - dependent aging state on epoxy coating was found and discussed.
