The physicochemical properties of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from black bean and naked barley is Korea were investigated. Preincubation time for maximum inhibition was 30min and no activity change was seen after that time. Optimum pH of the $\alpha$-amylase inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley was pH 7.0 and the inhibitory activities were stable in the range of pH 6.0~8.0 in both phosphate and Tris-HCI buffer solutions. Both inhibitors maintained more than 50% of activity after incubation for 17 min at 7$0^{\circ}C$. The inhibitors from the black bean and naked barley maintained more than 50% of activities after treatment for 40 min and 30 min with pepsin, and 30 min and 50 min with trypsin, respectively. Both inhibitors functioned via a noncompetitive mechanism and were active against porcine pancreatic and human salivary $\alpha$-amylases. The activities of both inhibitors were linear for the ionic stength ranging from 0 to 0.9. The addition of 70 mM maltose to the reaction mixture caused a maximum increase in the relative activities of both inhibitors, but it did not affect the dissociation of the EI complex. The activities of both inhibitors were significantly enhanced by adding 1mM of K+ or Mg2+.

Rock slopes along the road or railroad are affected by temperature and therefore experienced iterative freezing-thawing process between winter and early spring. The purpose of this study is to analyze the stability of rock slopes which are influenced by the deterioration due to the freezing-thawing. The analysis is the homogenization method which evaluates the strength property of discontinuous rock mass, and as a strength failure criterion, Drucker-Prager failure criterion is used. The deterioration property of real rock is obtained by a freezing-thawing laboratory test of tuff and this property of deterioration is quantitated and used as a basic data of stability analysis for rock mass. To evaluate the deterioration depth due to the freezing-thawing in situ rock slope, one dimensional heat conductivity equation is used and as the result I can find that the depth of which is affected by a temperature. After the freezing-thawing depth of model slope is determined, we analyze the pattern of rock mass stength value of rock slope model which excesses the limit of self-load.

In this work, the properties of FRP, which is applied recently in the composite insulating materials, by thermal treatment were investigated. The specimens were epoxy glass laminates fabricated by thermal press method and had the volume content of 46[%] cutted $45^{\circ}C$ in the fiber direction and 1.0[mm] thickness. The experimental results showed that the amount of weight loss, wettability, surface potential, and surface resistivity increased up to 200[$^{\circ}C$] as a function of temperature. Usually, most degradations caused the hydrophilic to decrease the contact angle. But, in this work on thermal-degradated FRP, we can confirm the introduction of hydrophobic properties by cross-linking and the ablation of polar small-molecules rather than chain scission and oxidation. Finally, weight loss and contact angle increased. These phenomena show the existence of hydrophobic surface. With the change to the hydrophobic surface and the electrical potential and resistivity on FRP surface increased. But, the dielectric properties and tensile stength are decreased.

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate reusal techniques of fly ash of combined heat power plant in the construction field, which may contribute to the saving of construction materials and conservating environment. Firstly chemical and physical characteristics of fly ash is analysed. And then, the usability of the concrete is tested by investigating the flowablility and stength development through parameters of various replacement ratios with respect to different mixing conditions. Finally, the durability and mechanical properties(elastic modulus) of the concrete is tested. As the result of the study, the following conclusions are derived : (1) the quantity of the CaO in the fly ash is relatively high based on the chemical analysis, (2)the compressive strength ratio of the mortar is satisfied with the specification, but the unit water ratio increased, (3)high strength concrete of more than 400kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ can be developed in the ranges of FA 30%, W/B 40%, (5)the slump loss with the elapsed time due to the delivery is decreased as the replacement ratio of the fly ash is increased, (6)the modulus of the elasticity is matched withn the specification of the Architectural Institute of Korea.

Many reseachers have performed extensive studies on the creep and shrinkage of concrete. Mechanism of creep and shrinkage however is not quite well-known, especially for high strength concrete. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore the shrinkage and creep characteristics of high strength concrete. The main variables investigated include condition of drying, reinforcement and duraton of load. The effects of drying and reinforcements are clarified and compared with various exsiting models. The present study provides useful data for the design and analysis of high stength concrete structures.

Piezocone Penetration Test has been performed in the soft ground over the site preparation area at Inchon International Airport(IIA). With the pore pressure dissipation test results, the changes in the permeability and the coefficient of consolidation in clayey soil were checked and the differences of the undrained shear stength verified the soft ground improvement effect from vane test and piezocone test both before and after the improvement. From the results, thin sand seam was found and this caused a big difference in the coefficient of permeability and consolidation. The coefficient of consolidation was high in the upper marine deposit and relatively low in lower marine deposit. It was found that the reduction of void ratio by preloading resulted in the reduction of coefficient of consolidation after the ground improvement. In addition, there were some variations of undrained shear strength when the number of 15 or 18 was used as the coefficient of piezocone(Nkt). However, when the average value of undrained shear strength calculated using Nkt=10 was applied, the result indicated the similar average value with the result of vane test and the increasing rate of strength( Δsu/Δ$\sigma$≒0.38) also showed the similar distribution.

The purpose of this study is to examine the physical properties of water-permeable concretes. The water-permeable concrete with cement-aggregate ratios of 1:3.5 to 1:6.0 and two type of coarse aggregate size of 8~13 and 13~18mm used OPC(ordinary portland cement) as a binder and superplasticizer are prepared, and then tested for flexural strength, compressive strength, compressive strength, continuous void percentage and coefficient of water permeability. It is concluded from the test result that the superior flexural and compressive strengths, coefficient of water permeability and continuous void percentage of water-permeable concretes that use OPC were obtained at cement-aggregate ratios of 1:3.2, 1:6.0 respectively, The water-permeable concretes with coarse aggregate of 8~13 and 13~18mm size used OPC as a binder havinga flexural strength of 24.81~45.56kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 21.99~40.62kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, a compressive stength of 93.63~ 242kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 114.8~191.7.kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, a coefficient of permeability of 0.59~1.85kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, 0.73~ 2.25kgf/$\textrm{cm}^2$, and a continuos void percentage of 16.6~26.32%, 13.52~24.35% respectively during 28 curing days.

This study was performed to evaluate the compressive strength and acid-resistant of polymer concrete using redispersible polymer powder(RPP) and blast furnace slag powder(BSP). Material used were ordinary portlant cement, recycled coarse aggregate, natural fine aggregate, redispersible polymer powder and blast furnace slag powder. The main experimental variables were the substitution ratio of redispersible polymer powder and blast furnace slag powder, when the substitution ratios of RPP were 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6%, and those of BSP were 10%. The compressive strength and acid-resistant of polymer concrete using RPP and BSP were compared with those of ordinary concrete(Basis). When the substitution ratio of RPP was 1%, at age of 28 days, the compressive strength were more higher than those of Basis by 24%, and it was decreased with increasing the RPP content, respectively. Also, the water absorption ratio was decreased with increasing the RPP content. But, the acid-resistant was improved with increasing the RPP content.
