This paper aims to provide pragmatic application guidelines of the interior finish materials for apartment houses with newly-established evaluation methodology of the sustainable degree of interior products. With reference to the standards and criteria of domestic eco-labeling accreditation schemes for sustainable products in the area of architecture which focus on the sustainable elements classified as the health, recyclability, durability, and energy efficiency, in this study, a systematic evaluation method has been established for interior finish products with quantifiable indicators for sustainable performance. Base on the evaluation system introduced here, most interior finish products can be classified into a database and applied effectively to the realities from the perspective of the sustainability. There are the necessities of enforcement issues with the idea of revising or taking remedial measures of the current performance criteria of domestic eco-labeling accreditation to bolster their reliability. As well as already-commercialized products, hereafter, continued efforts are needed to control the whole process of manufacturing new interior finish products from their designing, constructing, consuming, recycling and to dismantling in terms of sustainability, which promises more pragmatic follow-up measures for the detail embodiment of the environment-friendly spaces.

We evaluated the performance of in-situ capping to prevent the release of phenol, one of hazardous chemicals of concern for their impact on sediment. Sediment near the estuary of Hyeongsan River, Korea, and commercially-available sand were collected to evaluate their physical properties and phenol sorption characteristics. Biodegradation kinetics of phenol spiked into the sediment was evaluated under freshwater and estuarine salinity conditions. These experimental measurements were parameterized and used as input parameters for executing CapSim, a software predicting the performance of in-situ capping. The CapSim simulation demonstrated that capping with 50-cm sand reduced the phenol release by several orders of magnitude over 0.25- and 1-year duration for almost all simulation scenarios. The variables tested, i.e., cap thickness, pore-water movement, and biodegradation rate, showed high correlation to each other to influence the extent of phenol release from sediment to the water column. The findings and the framework employed to evaluate the performance of in-situ capping in this study can be adopted to determine whether in-situ capping is appropriate remedial approach at sediment sites impacted by hazardous chemicals due to accidental spills.

In this study, the bio-phytoremediation and phytoremediation technologies were applied to the soils contaminated with total petroleum hydrocarbons (TPH) and heavy metals to evaluate the remediation efficacy from May 2012 to December 2013. Poplar (Populus bonatii Levl.) and Sun Hemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) were selected and planted in phytoremediation practice. These plants were also utilized in the bio-phytoremediation practice, with the addition of earthworm (Eisenia fetida) and petroleum-degrading bacteria (Pseudomonos sp. NKNU01). Furthermore, physiological characteristics, such as photosynthesis rate and maximal photochemical yield, of all testing plants were also measured in order to assess their health conditions and tolerance levels in adverse environment. After 20 months of remedial practice, the results showed that bio-phytoremediation practice had a higher rate of TPH removal efficacy at 30-60 cm depth soil than that of phytoremediation. However, inconsistent results were discovered while analyzing the soil at 100 cm depth. The study also showed that the removal efficiency of heavy metals was lower than that of TPH after remediation treatment. The results from test field tissue sample analysis revealed that more Zinc than Chromium was absorbed and accumulated by the tested plants. Plant height measurements of Poplar and Sun Hemp showed that there were insignificant differences of growth between the plants in remediation plots and those in the control plot. Physiological data of Poplar also suggested it has higher tolerance level toward the contaminated soils. These results indicated that the two testing plants were healthy and suitable for this remediation study.

노천광산사면은 일반적으로 경제성 문제로 지보대책을 고려하지 않고 설계된다. 그러나 최종 잔벽사면은 장기적인 안정성이 필요하므로 경우에 따라서는 안정성을 높일 수 있는 적절한 대책이 필요하다. 본 연구를 위해 S 석회석 광산의 지질 및 불연속면 조사, 암반평가, 강도시험 등 현장조사를 수행하였다. 그리고 최종 잔벽사면에 대해 평사투영, SMR, 수치해석을 통한 안정성 평가를 실시하고, 최종 잔벽사면의 처리방안을 제안하였다. 해석결과, 사면 전체규모에서 파괴는 예상되지 않지만, 벤치규모의 사면파괴는 발생할 가능성이 있다. 최종 잔벽사면은 프리스플리팅 발파로 정리하고, 중간 소단에 폭이 넓은 berm을 설치하거나 국부적으로 지하수 유출이 있는 곳에는 수평배수공 등을 시공하여 벤치사면의 안정성을 높일 수 있을 것이다.

The paper aims at improving the understanding and mitigating the effects of tunnel fires that may breakout due to the burning fuel and/or explosion within the tunnel. This study particularly focuses on the behavior of the commonly used horse shoe geometry of tunnel systems. The problem has been obtained using an adequate well-established program incorporating the Lagrangian approach. A transient-thermo-coupled static structural analysis is carried out. The effects of radiation and convection to the outer walls of the tunnel is studied. The paper also presents the impact of the hazard on the structural integrity of the tunnel. A methodology is proposed to study the tunnel fire using a model which uses equivalent steel sheet to represent the presence of reinforcements to improve the computational efficiency with adequate validation. A parametric study has been carried out and the effect of suitable lining property for mitigating the fire hazard is arrived at. Detailed analysis is done for the threshold limits of the properties of the lining material to check if it is acceptable in all aspects for the integrity of the tunnel. The study may prove useful for developing insights for ensuring tunnel fire safety. To conduct such studies experimentally are tremendously costly but are required to gain confidence. But, scaled models, as well as loading and testing conditions, cannot be studied by many trials experimentally as the cost will shoot up sharply. In this context, the results obtained from such computational studies with a feasible variation of various combinations of parameters may act as a set of guidelines to freeze the adequate combination of various parameters to conduct one or two costly experiments for confidence building.

In Korea, the common remedial process for reclamation of agricultural soils nearby abandoned mines involves chemical soil stabilization followed by covering with clean soil. This study investigated the chemical properties of cover soils and the validity of HCl extraction method in assessing the degree of As and heavy metal stabilization in stabilized soils collected from 14 plots where mine reclamation had been completed. The results revealed there were no major differences in contaminants extraction rate between the stabilized soils and contaminated soils, suggesting HCl extraction procedure is a less feasible method to determine the efficiency of the stabilization. Soil quality indicators including OM, SiO₂, P₂O₅, etc. of the land-covering soils were generally lower than those of stabilized soils that used to be the cultivation layer before the stabilization. Nonetheless, the value of those indicators didn't meet the regulatry limits of agricultural soil. Therefore, future strategy for mine reclamation should concentrate not only on contaminant concentration but also on soil quality parameters for agricultural use of the reclaimed soil.

The diagnostic multi-leaf collimator preventing unnecessary dose from entering into patients during the diagnostic examination was made in this study. The movement of the entire 50 leaves was embodied with the group of 25 ones thereof configured in a pair facing each other on the left and right of the median line. Dimensions of the length, width, and height of each shielding leaf were $5{\times}0.5{\times}0.5cm^3$ resulting in the maximum boost field of $10{\times}10cm^2$. The material of multi-leaf collimator had the excellence on the machinability with the use of the SKD-11 alloy tool steel having the high wear resistance against frequent movement, and it was devised to control both-side's shielding leaves by moving 2 motors unlike existing remedial multi-leaf collimator that use as many motors as the number of 50 shielding leaves. Thereafter, the transmission dose of leaves, cross-leaf leakage dose, and inter-leaf leakage dose were measured by the developed multi-leaf collimator attached to X-ray equipment. An ionization chamber was used to detect doses there from, and the comparative analysis was carried out by means of the radiographic film that was easy to detect the dose leakage in between each leaf. Results obtained from the test conducted in comparative analysis yielded approximately 98%, 96%, and 94% of shielding efficiency realized at each level of energy of 80kV, 100kV, and 120kV it was confirmed there was no dose leakage resulted from the varied level of irradiation energy. Thus the multi-leaf collimator to be developed based on this study is thought that it could fully reduce the unnecessary dose to patients in the diagnostic test and the shielding efficiency thereof is expected to be increasing if it is made in a miniaturized form with a way of increasing the thickness of each leaf later for an extended application to general diagnostic purposes.

토양의 유류오염복원에 가장 널리 사용되어지는 Bioslurping system은 Pump and Treatment (P&T), Soil Vapor Extraction (SVE), 그리고 Bioventing (BV) 공정을 복합한 지중(in-situ) 복원기술이라 할 수 있다 그러나 Bioslurping system은 비휘발성 유기물질, 난분해성 유기물질을 처리에 어려움을 가지고 있어 이를 보완할 수 있는 Modified Fenton 반응을 이용한 Hybrid process system의 동시처리 가능성을 실험하였다. 디젤로 오염된 사질토양복 원에 있어서 SVE 공정에 의한 복원과정에서 디젤 제거율이 진공압에 비례하여 증가하였으나 토양에 강하게 흡착된 디젤 성분중의 비휘발성 물질처리에는 한계가 있음을 나타내었다. 또한 지표면과 지하에서 제거 효율의 차이를 나타냄으로서 지표면 또는 추출정과 거리가 멀어질수록 SVE 공정의 효율이 감소하는 것을 확인하였으며 이는 원통형반 응기에서 공기의 흐름이 반구형태로 유도되는 것에 기인한다고 판단된다. Modified Fenton 반응과의 생물학적 화학적 Co-oxidation을 이용한 디젤의 처리의 경우에는 Modified Fenton 반응의 효율이 낮게 나타나 0.1% (wt) 과산화수소가 존재함에 있어서도 92.8%의 높은 디젤분해능을 나타냄으로서 과산화수소가 유류분해 미생물에 산소원으로 사용될 수 있는 것은 확인하였으나 Co-oxidation의 가능성이 현저하게 떨어지는 것으로 보인다. Modified Fenton 반응에서 철 착체물로서 NTA를 사용했을 때가 EDTA를 사용했을 때보다 더 높은 효율을 갖는 것과 괴산화수소의 농도가 높아지면서 Modified Fenton 반응의 효율도 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 대표적인 방향족, 지방족 화합물 (aromatic, aliphatic compound)인 toluene, hexadecane을 오염원으로 한 Modified Fenton 반응에서 상대적으로 지방 족 화합물의 상대적 안정성으로 인하여 그 효율이 방향족 화합물에 비해 크게 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 디젤을 오염물로 사용하였을 경우, 최소 10% 이상의 과산화수소에서 그 효율을 나타내어 Bioslurping system에 의한 처리 후 토양에 잔존하는 디젤의 Modified Fenton 반응 공정을 이용한 복원기술의 복합화 가능성을 확인하였다.

한의학적 침구치료원리에 근거한 새로운 자극방식을 통해 치료효과를 증대시킬 수 있는 구강안면 동통 진단/치료기를 개발하였다. 이 새로운 DDTS-1 치료기는 기존방식과는 달리 캐패시터를 이용하여 동통발생 원인인 인체의 과잉 이온전하를 흡수하여 치료하는 방식이다. 과도한 이온전하를 흡수하여 치료하기 위한 최적 파라미터 추출은 실험을 통해, 캐패시터의 충방전을 제어하기 위한 제어신호의 최적의 주파수는 6hz, 캐패시턴스는 $0.1\~0.33{\mu}F$으로 결정하였다. 임상실험을 통해 시스템의 검증을 위해 치성동통환자, 3차 신경통환자 등을 대상으로 정상부위와 이상부위의 전위를 측정하였다. 그 결과, 기존 자극기는 치료전과 후의 전위차가 매우 작았으며 DDTS-1은 생체전위차가 동일하거나 비슷해지는 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 따라서, DDTS-1의 자극방식이 기존의 전기적 자극방식보다 치료효과 측면에서 더 효과적이며 이는 캐패시터를 이용한 인체 이온전하 흡수방식의 타당성을 검증하였다. 즉, DDTS-1 치료기의 자극방식에 따른 동통조절기전의 이론적 타당성을 검증하고 성능 및 신뢰성을 검증하였다.
