Rigid polyurethane foams (RPUFs) were fabricated from crude MDI (CMDI) and polypropylene glycols (PPGs) of various isocyanate indices with a physical blowing agent (HFC 365mfc). There was a tendency for the gel time to decrease and the tack-free time to increase with increasing index value. With increasing index value the foam density and compression strength decreased and the glass transition temperature, dimension stability and thermal insulation increased, while the cell size and closed cell content were virtually unchanged. Allophanate crosslinks and condensation reactions between the isocyanate groups, which are favored with a high index value, exerted significant effects on the properties of RPUFs.

This research investigates microstructures and fatigue properties of the weldments of 6005A aluminum alloy developed for railroad vehicles. The samples were extruded into a truss structure and welded together using the gas metal arc welding process. The extruded sample showed a wide variation in grain size, possibly due to the frictional heating as well as the inghomogeneous metal flow in the extrusion die. The mechanical properties of the samples were affected by the mirocstructures. The fatigue strength of the welded structure was found to decrease significantly from that of the base metal. It was found that the fatigue characteristics of the welded structure were determined by the microstructure of the parent metal as well as weld defects such as porosities and the liquation cracks.

10, 20, 30, and 40% of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) were added to nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) to modify the latter. The NBR/PVC composites containing pure NBR were synthesized to investigate properties, such as crosslinking density, hardness, tensile strength, abrasion resistance, heat resistance, solvent resistance, and filler dispersion. The experimental result revealed a decrease in crosslinking density and heat resistance with increase in the PVC content. In contrast, addition of PVC to NBR resulted in enhancement of hardness, tensile strength, solvent resistance, and filler dispersion.

In this paper, setting and strength properties of concrete with contents of super retarding agent are discussed. Gluconic acid and sucrose and used for super retarding agent. According to experimental results, as super retarding agent content increases, slump show to be increased, while air content decrease about 1~2%. In case of setting properties, as super retarding agent content increases, setting time delays considerable. When gluconic acid and sucrose is added about 0.3%, it delays more than 10days. Compressive strength of concrete of concrete with super retarding agent shows to be higher than that without it. Retarding of setting time of concrete using gluconic acid is longer than that using sucrose.

The Purpose of this study is to develope the method for early recovery of the biodiversity in the oligotrophical costal area. The result of this study, the dissolution ratio is superior in the case which the cement coating thickness of the granular fertilizer is below 1mm. From the failure-side it is judged with the fact that appropriate to use the separate charging method and vibration compaction method. For the cases of the mixing ratio of cement coating granular fertilizer, there was not any clear tendency for the change of the strength up to 20$\%$ of the mixing ratio. However, at the 30$\%$ mixing ratio, decrease of the strength was noticed. So it can be concluded that the stability can be achieved in the range of 20$\%$ and below.

The purpose of this study reutilization of waste fine tailing (FT) as admixture for cement and concrete. Various admixtures were made of Fine tailings and 2 Types of OPC, fly-ash and blast furnace slag. Cement mortars and concrete with FT are tested for fluidity and compressive strength. Also, the hydration reactivity of cement mortar with FT was examined by XRD and SEM morphology analysis. This work showed that the waste fine tailing could be effectively utilized as replacement materials of cement without any decrease in the strength if we can control the blaine of materials like cement, blast furnace slag and fly ash.

The effects of polymer-binder ratio and ceramic powder content on the drying shringage and strength of polymer-modified pastes using redispersible polymer powders and ceramic powder are examined. As a result, the drying shrinkage of the polymer-modified pastes using redispersible polymer powders tend to decrease with increasing polymer-binder ratio and ceramic powder content. Regardless of the type of polymer powder, the tensile strength and adhesion in tension of the polymer-modified pastes with ceramic powder tend to increase with increasing polymer-binder ratio and ceramic powder content.

In this study, a circular and indoor soil tank foundation was manufactured to study the improvement according to the degree of turbulence arising from PBD penetration, using the existing plate-type shoe and improved V-type shoe to change the degree of turbulence. Furthermore, to study the foundation improvement effect, the strength, settlement speed in the turbulence area were compared according to the shoe penetration. The results of the study showed that the V-type shoe reduced the strength coefficient decrease effect, and the foundation improvement effect according to the degree of turbulence was identified.

Various characteristics - mechanical propertis, thermal cyclic hydriding characteristics and resistance to degradation by $H_2O$, CO in hydrogen - of hydrogen storage alloy powder compacts using PTFE and silicon sealant as a polymer binder were studied. Diametral tensile strength of 10wt% PTFE and 5wt% silicon sealant added compacts showed relatively high value of $4kg/cm^2$ and $10kg/cm^2$, respectively. Compacts show a good resistance to degradation by $H_2O$ in hydrogen. But hydrogen absorption rate and capacity of compacts were decreased by CO in hydrogen with the number of cycles. Cu coated and PTFE bonded compacts showed very small decrease of capacity and a good strength even after 1000 cycles of thermal hydriding and dehydriding.

The aim of this study is to investigate the properties of hardened mortar with chlorine by-pass system(CBS) in cement production in blast furnace slag(BS) mixed cement. Compressive strength had a tendency to be increased when the CBS Dust was replaced by 10% at the BS replacement rate of 0%. The 65% combination of BS showed a tendency to decrease as the CBS Dust exchange rate increases. Flexural strength was reduced as CBS Dust exchange rate increases in BS replacement ratio of 0%. The use of 5% of CBS dust can contribute to enhance the quality of non reinforced concrete.
