경질올레핀을 제조하기 위한 n-옥탄의 접촉분해반응에서 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 소성 및 스팀 처리 영향을 $550{\sim}750^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 조사하였다. 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도를 높이면 H-ZSM-5 촉매의 비표면적, 기공부피 및 강산점이 줄어들었다. $650^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 스팀 처리는 제올라이트 구조 내 알루미늄의 탈알루미늄화 및 미세기공의 붕괴로 강산점이 소멸되어, 미세 기공부피가 줄어들며 입자 간 결합에 의한 중기공이 형성되었다. $^{27}Al$ 및 $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR 스펙트럼으로부터 스팀 처리로 발생하는 탈알루미늄의 과정을 검토하였다. 제올라이트 격자의 알루미늄이 사면체 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 5개 배위구조 알루미늄 ${\rightarrow}$ 팔면체 배위구조 알루미늄으로 변화과정을 거침을 알 수 있었다. n-옥탄 접촉 분해반응의 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비가 H-ZSM-5의 소성 및 스팀 처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 스팀 처리는 소성 처리보다 활성저하 정도가 더욱 심하여 $750^{\circ}C$에서 24시간 스팀 처리 후에는 H-ZSM-5가 촉매로서의 기능을 상실하여 열분해반응에 근접하는 전환율, 경질올레핀 수율 및 에틸렌/프로필렌 비의 결과를 나타내었다.

Nonlinear temperature distribution induced by the hydration heat generates thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks in the structure which can affect on the durability and safety of the structure. Up to now, a lot of works have focused on the prediction of temperature distribution and thermal stress in the structure. In most of such works, however, the inside of structure was considered as adiabatic state to predict temperature distribution and the thermal stress. And due to the lacks of appropriate analysis models after crack, there was little research on the crack occurrence. This paper deals with the prediction of the temperature distribution in the structure using the rate of hydration heat generation and also estimates the behavior of structure before and after cracking due to hydration heat using crack band model.

Nonuniform temperature distribution due to hydration heat induces thermal stress in mass concrete. At early ages, such thermal stress may induce thermal cracks which can affect on the durability ad safety of the structure. Steel fiber reinforced concrete may be useful when a large amount of energy has to be absorbed, when a high tensile strength and reduced cracking are desirable, of an improvement of thermal conductivity is desirable. In LG IPP Project, the upper part(50cm) of turbine foundation was replaced with steel fiber reinforced concrete to reduce the thermal crack induced by hydration heat. It was shown that the thermal crack control could be successfully achieved by steel fiber reinforced concrete.

A number of so-called 'Type IV' cracking was reported to occur at the welded joints of the P91 steel or P92 steel reheat steam piping systems in Korean supercritical thermal power plants. The reheat steam piping systems are subjected to severe thermal and pressure loading conditions of coolant higher than 570℃ and 4MPa, respectively. In this study, piping analyses and design evaluations were conducted for the piping system of a specific thermal plant in Korea and suggestions were made how structural integrity could be improved so that type IV cracks at the welded joints could be prevented. Integrity evaluations were conducted as per ASME B31.1 code with implicit consideration of creep effects which was used in original design of the piping system and as per nuclear-grade RCC-MRx code with explicit consideration of creep effects. Comparisons were made between the evaluation results from the two design rules. Another approach with modification or reduction of the redundant supports in the piping systems was investigated as a tool to mitigate thermal stresses which should essentially contribute to prevention of Type IV cracking without major modification of the existing piping systems. In addition, a post weld heat treatment method and repair weld method which could improve integrity of the welded joint of P91 steel were investigated.

An analysis program for the evaluation of pressure vessel integrity under pressurized thermal shock (PTS) is developed. For given material properties and transient history such as temperature and pressure, the stress distribution is calculated and then stress intensity factors are obtained for a wide range of crack sizes. The stress intensity factors are compared with the fracture toughness to check if cracking is expected to occur during the transient. Using this program a round robin problem of PTS during a small break loss of coolant transient has been analyzed as a part of the international comparative assessment study. The allowable maximum reference nil-ductility transition temperatures are determined for various crack sizes.

Generally, thermal stress induced by hydration heat causes cracking in mass concrete structures, requiring a thorough control during the construction. The prediction of the thermal stress is currently undertaken by means of numerical analysis despite its lack of reliability due to the properties of concrete varying over time. In this paper, a method for the prediction of thermal stress in concrete structures by adjusting thermal stress measured by a thermal stress device according to the degree of restraint is proposed to improve the prediction accuracy. The ratio of stress in concrete structures to stress under complete restraint is used as the degree of restraint. To consider the history of the degree of restraint, incremental stress is predicted by comparing the degree of restraint and the incremental stress obtained by the thermal stress device. Furthermore, the thermal stresses of wall and foundation predicted by the proposed method are compared to those obtained by numerical analysis. The thermal stresses obtained by the proposed method are similar to those obtained by the analysis for structures with internally as well as externally strong restraint. It is therefore concluded that the prediction of thermal stress for concrete structures with various boundary conditions using the proposed method is suggested to be accurate.

Recently, constructions of huge reinforced concrete structures such as nuclear power stations have been increased. When massive concrete is placed, cracking due to the hydration heat of cement is recognized as a major problem. The development of thermal stress is influenced by the structure shape and the constraint conditions, and cracks usually occure from tensile stresses which developed due to temperature drop. In this study a protocol specimen is made to examine the distribution of temperature and thermal stress of reaction wall of Daewoo Institute Construction Technology. The size of the specimen is made by considering minimum size of real structure. In this study, concrete strain gauge, concrete stress gauge, concrete non-stress gauge, and thermocouples, are instrumented to measure thermal stress in massive concrete structure. A new measuring technique is proposed to calculate thermal stress.

Concrete structures often present volumetrical changes particularly due to thermal and moisture related shrinkages. Volumetric instability is detrimental to the performance and durability of concrete structures because structural elements are usually restrained. These restrained shrinkages develope tensile stresses which often results in cracking in combination with the low fracture resistance of concrete. Early-age defects in high-performance concrete due to thermal and autogenous deformation shorten the life cycle of concrete structures. Thus, it is necessary to examine the behavior .of early-age concrete at the stages of design and construction. The purpose of this study was to propose a shrinkage models of VES-LMC (very-early strength latex-modified concrete) at early-age considering thermal deformation and autogenous shrinkage.

The method for preventing thermal cracks is necessary in mass concrete structures. So various experiments were carried out for the controls of thermal cracks and we substituted fly ash for a quarter of cement quantity in order to decrease hydration heat. The maximum block size is determined by numerical analysis as well. Hydration heat and thermal stress were measured through various gauges and analysis considering the steps of concrete placement were carried out. It was found from this study that the appropriate block size was able to be determined properly by numerical analysis.

With the span and arch rib size of concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridges increase, the hydration heat of pumped mass concrete inside large-size steel tube causes a significant temperature variation, leading to a risk of thermal stress-induced cracking during construction. In order to tackle this phenomenon, a hydration heat conduction model based on hydration degree was established through a nonlinear temperature analysis incorporating an exothermic hydration process to obtain the temperature field of large-size CFST. Subsequently, based on the evolution of elastic modulus based on hydration degree and early-age creep rectification, the finite element model (FEM) model and analytical study were respectively adopted to investigate the variation of the thermal stress of CFST during hydration heat release, and reasonable agreement between the results of two methods is found. Finally, a comparative study of the thermal stress with and without considering early-age creep was conducted.
