This research presents a structural design of high-level waste (HLW) container using ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete (UHP-FRC) material. The proposed design aims to overcome the drawbacks of the existing concrete containers which are heavy, difficult to fabricate, and expensive. In this study, the dry storage container (DSC) that commonly used at Canadian Nuclear facilities is selected to present the proposed design. The design has been performed such that the new UHP-FRC alternative has a structural stiffness equivalent to the existing steel-concrete-steel container under various loading scenarios. Size optimization technique is used with the aim of maximizing stiffness, and minimizing the cost while satisfying both the design stresses and construction requirements. Then, the integrity of the new design has been evaluated against accidental drop-impact events based on realistic drop scenarios. The optimization results showed: the stiffness of the UHP-FRC container (300 mm wall thick) is being in the range of 1.35-1.75 times the stiffness of existing DSC (550 mm wall thick). The use of UHP-FRC leads to decrease the container weight by more than 60%. The UHP-FRC container showed a significant enhancement in performance in comparison to the existing DSC design under considered accidental drop impact scenarios.

The rich recipe of ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) offers the higher mechanical, durability and dense microstructure property. The variable like cement/sand ratio, amount of supplementary cementitious material, water/binder ratio, amount of fiber etc. alters the UHPC hardened properties to any extent. Therefore, to understand the effects of these variables on the performance of UHPC, inevitably a stage-wise development is required. In the present experimental study, the effect of sand/cement ratio, the addition of finer material (fly ash and quartz powder) and, hybrid fiber on the fresh, compressive and microstructural property of UHPC is evaluated. The experiment is conducted in three phases; the first phase evaluates the flow value and strength attainment of ingredients, the second phase evaluates the efficiency of finer materials (fly ash and quartz powder) to develop the UHPC and the third phase evaluate the effect of hybrid fiber on the flow value and strength of ultra high performance hybrid fiber reinforced concrete (UHP-HFRC). It has been seen that the addition of fly ash improves the flow value and compressive strength of UHPC as compared to quartz powder. Further, the usage of hybrid fiber in fly ash contained matrix decreases the flow value and improves the strength of the UHP-HFRC matrix. The dense interface between matrix and fiber and, a higher amount of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) in fly ash contained UHP-HFRC is revealed by SEM and XRD respectively. The dense interface (bond between the fiber and the UHPC matrix) and the higher CSH formation are the reason for the improvement in the compressive strength of fly ash based UHP-HFRC. The differential thermal analysis (DTA/TGA) shows the similar type of mass loss pattern, however, the amount of mass loss differs in fly ash and quartz powder contained UHP-HFRC.

최신 ICT 기술은 4차 산업혁명의 핵심으로 향후 각종 산업발전의 교두보 역할을 담당할 것으로 예상되고 있으나 여전히 ICT기술의 격차가 빈부의 격차로 직결되며 그 격차는 더 벌어지고 있다. 개도국에서의 여성 ICT 역량 강화교육은 국가발전을 위한 양질의 인력을 양성할 수 있는 기회가 되고 기술격차를 해소할 수 있는 방안이라고 할 수 있다. 본 연구는 개도국의 학생들에게 교육을 통해 ICT 기술을 보급하기 위한 준비단계로서, 인도네시아의 UHP 대학의 인프라 및 ICT교육현황을 조사하고자 한다. 이에 근거하여 여대생들에게 적절한 ICT 교육콘텐츠를 개발하고 지속적인 교육을 위해 필요한 정책을 제언하고자 한다. 또한 기존연구인 Life 대학 설문조사 결과와 비교분석하여 교육의 효율성을 제고하는 교수법을 모색하고자 한다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) beam column joints (BCJ) have mostly exhibited poor seismic performance during several past earthquakes, typically due to the poor-quality concrete or lack of reinforcement detailing typical of pre-code design practice. The present study is motivated towards numerical simulation and seismic fragility assessment of one such RC-BCJ. The BCJ is loaded to failure and strengthened using Ultra High Performance-Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete (UHP-HFRC) jacketing. The strengthening is performed for four different BCJ specimens, each representing an intermediate damage state before collapse. viz., slight, moderate, severe, and collapse. From the numerical simulation of all the BCJ specimens, an attempt is made to correlate different modelling and design parameters of the BC joint with respect to the damage states. In addition, seismic fragility analysis of the original as well as the retrofitted damaged BCJ specimens show the relative enhancement achieved in each case.

본 연구에서는 건조 쌀에 적합한 가공적성과 세균 저감화를 위하여 백미 찹쌀(동진벼)과 현미 멥쌀(신동진벼)에 초고압 전처리를 하였다. 백미 찹쌀과 현미 멥쌀을 500MPa의 압력 하에서 5분간 초고압 처리하였을 때, 건조 쌀 제조에 있어 중요한 특성인 백미 찹쌀의 찰기와 현미 멥쌀의 경도가 유의적으로 감소하였는데(p<0.05), 이는 초고압 처리법은 백미 찹쌀의 낱알 분리가 힘든 찰진 특성과 현미 멥쌀의 딱딱한 식감을 효과적으로 개선할 수 있다는 점을 확인해 주었다. 쌀 텍스처 단면의 입자를 FE-SEM를 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 초고압 처리한 백미 찹쌀과 현미 멥쌀의 단면의 텍스처가 처리 전보다 부드러워졌음을 확인할 수 있었다. 600MPa의 압력 하에서 5분간 초고압 처리했을 때, 현미 멥쌀에서 생육하는 세균수는 처리 전보다 유의적으로 감소하였지만(p<0.05), 내열성 세균수에는 유의적인 차이가 없었다.

Maintaining proper tire air pressure is an essential element in ensuring vehicle safety. UHP Tires that boast of many safety features are increasing in the market. In particular, the development of "Self-Inflating Tire" technology is accelerating around the globe. Self-inflating tire refers to a technique for maintaining appropriate tire pressure. An internal regulator senses when tire inflation pressure has dropped below the set air pressure. The tire boosts air through the valve when rolling and compressed air enters into the tire. This procedure keeps the tire air pressure at an appropriate level and increases tire safety. Flow analysis of the internal tube is required to examine self-inflating tires. In this study, a method of tube flow analysis using the FSI Method is proposed. The valve system is also implemented to optimize the regulator and sensor.

Due to the development of compounding technology, there is a considerable increase in the number of high performance rubbers in the world. Accordingly, there are rapid growing requests about high performance tires such as UHP tire and Run-flat tire. However, it is extremely difficult to investigate the friction coefficient of tire tread rubbers. An alternative solution must be developed with the reliability of high-speed linear friction test machines. The use of friction test machines can be expected to improve rubber friction researches. In this paper, we propose a new kind of high-speed linear friction test machine. We have designed and manufactured various mechanisms for friction tests. The final goals are to design and manufacture friction test machines that can investigate friction coefficients efficiently and rapidly. The performance of the proposed high-speed linear friction test machine is evaluated experimentally; however additional study should be necessary for safer and more reliable experimentation.
