Using several accessible published data sets, we analyzed the temporal change of ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity (per unit mass of sample) in marine sediments and investigated the effect of the water content of sediment on the ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity, to understand the behavior of ¹³⁷Cs present in marine environments. The ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity in sediments decreased more slowly in the Baltic Sea (near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant) than in the ocean near the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant (FDNPP). The ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity in the sediment near the FDNPP tended to increase as the water content increased, and the water content decreased at certain sampling sites near the FDNPP for several years. Additionally, the decrease in the water content contributed to 51.2% of the average ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity decrease rate for the same period. Thus, it may be necessary to monitor both the ¹³⁷Cs radioactivity and the water content for marine sediments to track the ¹³⁷Cs that was discharged from the sites of Chernobyl and Fukushima nuclear power plants where severe accidents occurred.

천연골재의 고갈 및 환경규제에 의한 건설용 잔골재의 수급불균형 문제를 해결하기 위해 폐기콘크리트로부터 생산된 순환잔골재의 적용성을 위한 연구들이 수행되어 왔다. 본 연구의 목적은 W/C 및 단위수량의 변화에 따른 순환잔골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 역학적 특성 및 내구성능에 관한 이해를 높이는 것이다. 또한, 순환콘크리트의 구조적 적용을 위한 기초자료를 제시하는데 의미가 있다. 특히, 순환잔골재를 100% 대체한 순환콘크리트에 대하여 W/C 및 단위수량의 변화에 따른 영향은 공기량, 슬럼프, 응결시간, 압축강도, 인장강도, 탄산화 및 염화물 침투와 같은 항목에 대한 시험결과에 의해 분석 제시되었다.

Cracks in soil provide significant preferential pathways for contaminant transport and rainfall infiltration. Water exchange between the soil matrix and crack is crucial to characterize the preferential flow, which is often quantitatively described by a water exchange ratio. The water exchange ratio is defined as the amount of water flowing from the crack into the clay matrix per unit time. Most of the previous studies on the water exchange ratio mainly focused on cracked sandy soils. The water exchange between cracks and clay matrix were rarely studied mainly due to two reasons: (1) Cracks open upon drying and close upon wetting. The deformable cracks lead to a dynamic change in the water exchange ratio. (2) The aperture of desiccation crack in clay is narrow (generally 0.5 mm to 5 mm) which is difficult to model in experiments. This study will investigate the water exchange between a deformable crack and the clay matrix using a newly developed experimental apparatus. An artificial crack with small aperture was first fabricated in clay without disturbing the clay matrix. Water content sensors and suction sensors were instrumented at different places of the cracked clay to monitor the water content and suction changes. Results showed that the water exchange ratio was relatively large at the initial stage and decreased with the increasing water content in clay matrix. The water exchange ratio increased with increasing crack apertures and approached the largest value when the clay was compacted at the water content to the optimal water content. The effective hydraulic conductivity of the crack-clay matrix interface was about one order of magnitude larger than that of saturated soil matrix.

사양토에서 인삼생육의 최적 토양 함수량 구명키 위해 토양함수량별 지상하부, 생식생장, 광합성 등을 조사한 바 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 근건물중 및 동직경은 62%(절대수분 13.9%)가 가장 양호하였다. 2. 엽면적, 엽건물중은 62%(절대수분 13.9%)가 가장 양호하였으며 개체당 개화수, 결실율, 종자생산량도 같은 경향이었다. 3. 단위 면적당 광합성량은 토양 함수량이 많을수록 증가하였으나 개체당 광합성량은 62%가 가장 양호하였다. 4. 증산량은 토양함수량과 비례하였으나 기공의 밀도는 반비례하였다.

이 논문에서는 과산화수소를 사용한 경량기포콘크리트의 최적배합비를 제안하고 있다. 최적배합을 도출하기 위해 상용프로그램인 MINITAB을 사용하여 실험계획법을 적용하였다. 통계적 분석방법은 반응표면분석법 중 하나인 Box Behnken(B-B)계획법으로 하였다. 실험시 고려한 영향인자로는 단위시멘트량, 물시멘트비, 과산화수소비를 설정하였다. 분산분석에 따르면 경화상태에서 경량기포콘크리트의 물시멘트비와 과산화수소비는 절건밀도, 압축강도, 휨강도에 유의차가 있고, 단위시멘트량은 절건밀도에만 유의차가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반응표면분석의 결과에서 과산화수소를 사용한 경량기포콘크리트의 최적배합비는 단위시멘트량 800 kg/$m^3$, 물시멘트비 44.33%, 과산화수소비 10%로 도출되었다.

In this study, a series of laboratory tests based on 'Unit-cell concept' are performed to investigate improvement characteristics of clay ground in sand compaction pile method. Settlement reduction characteristics of composite ground and improvement characteristics of clay part could be qualified. In these procedure, the new strain-compression index($C_{\epsilon}$) of composite ground are adopted to show compressibility of composite ground according to the area replacement ratio, which is similar to the compression index($C_c$) in pure clay ground. Also, using normalization of reduction of water content in composite ground to the initial water content, improvement characteristics of clay part are investigated.

In this research, by examining the influence that high quality fine aggregate and low quality fine aggregate have on the strength of concrete through tests, the manifest strength of concrete according to high quality fine aggregate was reviewed. The results showed that compared to low quality fine aggregate usage mixture, the unit volume to achieve the same liquidity decreased and accordingly the W/B also decreased therefore increasing the strength of concrete, and as high quality fine aggregate was used, it is determined that there can be improvements to the economically feasibility of usage mixture and improvement in durability etc.

Recently inappropriate aggregates are used as a raw material for ready-mixed concretes, due to the shortage of natural aggregate resources and the prohibition of their extraction for the environmental protection. We, therefore, have conducted experiments to obtain some knowledge of properties of domestic aggregates and to investigate subsequent changes in the properties of the fresh and hardened concretes. To this end, aggregates currently used in 13 domestic ready-mixed concrete plants were collected. Most of aggregate used in this experiment satisfied the KS in density and unit weight. But some of the aggregates have the particle size distribution that can effect bad influence on concrete. In this experiment the aggregates are found to have a bad particle size distribution, resulting in high amount of a unit water content and a unit cement content in concrete.
