원자력발전소에서 철판이나 폴리머 라이너 판은 가스나 액체가 격남건물 외부로 누설되지 않도록 하기 위하여 채택되었다. 만일 어떤 사고가 발생하여 이 판이 손상을 입는 다면 콘크리트는 안전성 요구 측면에서 최후의 보루가 되어야 한다. 그 능력을 구명하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 시공이음의 유 무와 습윤조건 및 하중상태가 콘크리트의 누설저항성에 미치는 영향을 검토하기 위한 연구가 수행되었다. 실험결과로부터, 습윤상태에 시공이음이 있는 경우, 가스의 누설은 압력이 $1kg/cm^2$부터 시작되었으나 시공이음이 없는 경우는 $2kg/cm^2$부터 누설이 시작됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 기건 및 무재하 상태에는 시공이음의 유 무에 관계없이 콘크리트에 존재하는 가스의 통로가 일정하므로 누설량이 일정한 경향을 가지고 증가하였다. 최종적으로 재하상태에는 Okamoto et al.(1995)의 연구에서설명하는 바와 같이 누설량이 벽체의 두께에 반비례하므로 실제 발전소에 설치되는 벽체 두께를 고려하면 시공이음에 있어도 가스의 밀봉에는 문제가 없을 것으로 판단된다.

축열재 이용 기술은 실내 냉난방을 위하여 사용된 에너지를 장시간 일정온도로 유지할 수 있도록 하여 에너지 사용 효율을 높이는 장점이 있다. 이 중 상변화 물질을 이용한 잠열 축열재는 물질의 잠열성질을 이용하는 것으로서 심물질로서 일정온도에서 녹는점을 갖는 물질을 캡슐화 하여 이를 건축자재에 적용하여 실내 및 외기의 온도에 따라서 심물질이 녹거나 어는 과정에서 축열과 방열로 인한 에너지 절감 및 차단 효과를 갖는다. 상변화 물질을 이용해 축열재를 만드는 방법은 마이크로 캡슐화의 방법이 있다. 이 방법은 크게 분류하면 화학적 방법, 물리 화학적 방법 및 물리적 기계적 방법의 3가지로 나눌 수 있다. 물리 화학적 방법으로 습식공정에 의한 마이크로 캡슐화 공정을 이용했으며 이 공정은 심물질을 용매에서 에멀젼화한 다음 고분자모노머를 심물질인 에멀젼의 벽면에 코팅하여 경화 시키는 공정이다. 이 경우에 심물질의 에멀젼이나 벽재 모노머의 코팅 성능을 좋게 하기 위하여 계면활성제가 사용된다. 또한 계면활성제의 특성에 따라서 마이크로 캡슐화의 성능이 좌우되고 특히 벽재물질의 코팅 두께 및 코팅의 균일성에 크게 좌우된다. 본 연구에서는 상변화를 이용한 축열재로서 심물질인 1-도데카놀을 멜라민수지로 계면중합법에 의하여 마이크로 캡슐화 하는데 있어서 계면활성제인 SSMA(sulfonated styrene-maleic anhydride)의 화학적 특성에 따른 마이크로 캡슐의 성능과 이에 따른 축열 성능을 비교하였다.

In order to verify the applicability of buckling restrained braces (BRB's) and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) sheets to the seismic strengthening of a low-rise RC building having the irregularities of a soft/weak story and torsion at the ground story, a series of earthquake simulation tests were conducted on a 1:5 scale RC building model before, and after, the strengthening, and these test results are compared and analyzed, to check the effectiveness of the strengthening. Based on the investigations, the following conclusions are made: (1) The BRB's revealed significant slips at the joint with the existing RC beam, up-lifts of columns from RC foundations and displacements due to the flexibility of foundations, and final failure due to the buckling and fracture of base joint angles. The lateral stiffness appeared to be, thereby, as low as one seventh of the intended value, which led to a large yield displacement and, therefore, the BRB's could not dissipate seismic input energy as desired within the range of anticipated displacements. (2) Although the strengthened model did not behave as desired, great enhancement in earthquake resistance was achieved through an approximate 50% increase in the lateral resistance of the wall, due to the axial constraint by the peripheral BRB frames. Finally, (3) whereas in the original model, base torsion was resisted by both the inner core walls and the peripheral frames, the strengthened model resisted most of the base torsion with the peripheral frames, after yielding of the inner core walls, and represented dual values of torsion stiffness, depending on the yielding of core walls.

Three-dimensional numerical simulation of isothermal/nonisothermal coextrusion process of two immiscible polymers through a rectangular channel has been done using the finite element method. The encapsulation phenomenon with the less viscous layer encapsulating the more viscous layer was investigated with the generalized Newtonian fluids. The interface position around the symmetric plane obtained by numerical simulation nearly coincided with the one observed in experiments, but the degree of encapsulation was less than the one observed experimentally. Open boundary condition method was found to be applied to the simulation of nonisothermal coextrusion process, however, the results are not far from those using the fully developed boundary condition, because the temperature development along the downstream direction is very slow in the case of convection dominated flow. When the inlet velocity is increased, the interface profile does not change in isothermal flow, while it moves upward in nonisothermal situation. The degree of encapsulation decreases along the downstream direction in nonisothermal flow. When the inlet temperature increases compared to the wall temperature, the outlet interface moves downward and the degree of encapsulation increases. The difference of degree of encapsulation between the simulation and the experiments seems to arise from the viscoelastic effect of the materials. It was concluded that the nonisothermal effect alone does not explain the complex coextrusion process and the viscoelastic effect needs to be considered.

Main objectives of this study were to investigate the effects of a lubricant, magnesium stearate, as blended in a hydrophilic matrix tablet and to identify significant factors using a tablet ejection force and a swelling property. The characteristics of tablet ejection were evaluated with three different compression forces (30, 40, and 60 MPa) and two controlled factors, amount of magnesium stearate and its mixing time. A hydrophilic model drug (terazosin HCl dihydrate) was regarded as a default factor. Tablet swelling was also evaluated. The optimal amount of PEG compared to PEO was set to be 88.50% w/w. As the amount of magnesium stearate was varied from 0.79% to 2.20% w/w, the amount of PEO and PEG was adjusted to meet the tablet's total weight while maintaining the ratio between the two excipients constant. As the mixing time of magnesium stearate was increased, the tablet ejection force and the swelling property were decreased. As the amount of magnesium stearate was increased, the tablet ejection force and the swelling property were decreased since the increased mixing time and the amount of magnesium stearate induced hydrophobic properties of the matrix tablet more effectively. The ejection force of the tablet increased as a result of increase in the compression force, which means that the breaking of tablet/die-wall adhesion energy was also increased when the compression energy was increased. The results gavea valuable guide how to choose suitable amount of the lubricant with processing conditions for the development of hydrophilic matrix formulations.

This experiment was conducted to examine the effects of a short-term treatment of high pressure $CO_2$ on shelf-life of strawberry fruit. A short-term treatment (12 hr) of 100% $CO_2$ resulted in the increase of fruit firmness up to 71.9% compared to that at harvest. The firmness of $CO_2$ treated fruit remained a significantly higher than that of control (air) up to 15 days. The alteration of pectic polymers was observed by $CO_2$ treatment such as an increase of EDTA soluble pectins and decrease of water soluble ones. The $CO_2$ treatment resulted in the increase of total amount of wall bound calcium. Pectate lyase activity, an important agent of strawberry fruit softening, was also significantly reduced by $CO_2$ treatment. Contents of soluble solids and acids of $CO_2$ treated fruit were higher than those of control fruit. Short-term treatment of high pressure $CO_2$ affected shelf-life through firmness increase whereas the visual quality and decay incidence of strawberry fruit were not affected.

Creep and shrinkage are the main types of volume change with time in concrete. These changes cause deflection, cracking and stresses that affect durability, serviceability, long-term reliability and structural integrity of civil engineering infrastructure. Although laboratory test may be undertaken to determine the deformation properties of concrete, these are time-consuming, often expensive and generally not a practical option. Therefore, relatively simple empirically design code models are relied to predict the creep strain. This paper reviews the accuracy of creep and shrinkage predictions of reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls structures strengthened with carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) plates, which is characterized by a widthwise varying fibre volume fraction. This review is yielded by three commonly used international "code type" models. The assessed are the: CEB-FIP MC 90 model, ACI 209 model and Bazant & Baweja (B3) model. The time-dependent behavior was investigated to analyze their seismic behavior. In the numerical formulation, the adherents and the adhesives are all modelled as shear wall elements, using the mixed finite element method. Several tests were used to demonstrate the accuracy and effectiveness of the proposed method. Numerical results from the present analysis are presented to illustrate the significance of the time-dependency of the lateral displacements and eigenfrequencies modes.

Liquid desiccant cooling technology can supply cooling by using waste heat and solar heat which are hard to use effectively. For compact and efficient design of a dehumidifier, it is important to sustain sufficient heat and mass transfer surface area for water vapor diffusion from air to liquid desiccant on heat exchanger. In this study, the plate type heat exchanger is adopted which has extended surface, and hydrophilic coating and porous layer coating are adopted to enhance surface wettedness. PP(polypropylene) plate is coated by porous layer and PET(polyethylene terephthalate) non-woven fabric is coated by hydrophilic polymer. These coated surfaces have porous structure, so that falling liquid film spreads widely on the coated surface foaming thin liquid film by capillary force. The temperature of liquid desiccant increases during dehumidification process by latent heat absorption, which leads to loss of dehumidification capacity. Liquid desiccant is cooled by cooling water flowing in plate heat exchanger. On the plate side, the liquid desiccant can be cooled by internal cooling. However the liquid desiccant on extended surface should be moved and cooled at heat exchanger surface. Optimal mixing and distribution of liquid desiccant between extended surface and plate heat exchanger surface is essential design parameter. The experiment has been conducted to verify effective surface treatment and distribution characteristics by measuring wall side flow rate and visualization test. It is observed that hydrophilic and porous layer coating have excellent wettedness, and the distribution can be regulated by adopting holes on extended surface.
