This study was conducted to find out the growth pattern of Pinus koraiensis plantation over 34 years, focusing on DBH, height, basal area and allometric change. Total increment (TI), mean annual increment (MAI) and correlation coefficient were calculated and compared with stand and dominants. Total increment and mean annual increment of both DBH and height of dominants were bigger than those of stand. The difference was apparently shown bigger in DBH than height. Unlike DBH and height the total increment and mean annual increment of basal area per hectare of dominants were distinctively smaller than those of stand. Furthermore MAI of dominant was increasing until age 42, while MAI of stand increased at early ages and then gradually decreased after culmination like MAIs of DBH and height. MAIs of basal area of dead trees at each measurement tended to increase until early age (18 years in this study), while it reached a peak and gradually decrease after that (21 years in this study). Correlation coefficient between DBH and height tended to decrease as both dominant and stand age and the difference between dominant and stand was not clearly shown over the measurement period. Correlation coefficients between DBH and crown width tended to decrease as the trees age and correlation coefficients of dominant were clearly shown smaller than that of stand. Correlation coefficients of height and crown width also was found to be similar to correlation coefficients between DBH and crown. Meanwhile correlation coefficient of height and crown width dropped more radically than coefficient of DBH and crown width as the trees age.

The recently developed Ultra High Performance Concrete (UHPC) displays outstanding compressive strength and ductility but is also subjected to very large autogenous shrinkage. In addition, the use of forms and reinforcement to confine this autogenous shrinkage increases the risk of shrinkage cracking. Accordingly, this study adopts a combination of shrinkage reducing admixture and expansive admixture as a solution to reduce the shrinkage of UHPC and estimates its appropriateness by evaluating the compressive and flexural strengths as well as the autogenous shrinkage according to the age. Moreover, the coefficient of thermal expansion known to experience sudden variations at early age is measured in order to evaluate exactly the autogenous shrinkage and the thermal expansion is compensated considering these measurements. The experimental results show that the compressive and flexural strengths decreased slightly at early age when mixing 7.5% of expansive admixture and 1% of shrinkage reducing admixture but that this decrease becomes insignificant after 7 days. The use of expansive admixture tended to premature the setting of UHPC and the start of sudden increase of autogenous shrinkage. Finally, the combined use of shrinkage reducing admixture and expansive admixture appeared to reduce effectively the autogenous shrinkage by about 47% at 15 days.

수돗물 공급과정에서의 소독부산물 발생현황과 이와 관련된 수질 인자와의 상관성을 조사하여 소독부산물 발생특성을 규명하고자 K-water에서 관리하는 정수장의 수돗물 공급과정 5개 계통에 대하여 조사를 실시하였다. 수돗물 공급과정에서의 공급계통별 Water age 및 노후관 공급계통을 구분하여 조사대상을 선정하였으며, 소독부산물인 트리할로메탄 (THMs) 및 할로아세틱에시드 (HAAs), 유기물 항목으로서 BDOC 및 DOC를 포함하여 7개 항목에 대해 월 1회 조사하였다. 조사결과 노후관계통 및 Water age가 길수록 공급과정 내 유기물 농도가 높아지는 경향성을 확인할 수 있었다. 소독부산물과 관련 영향인자들의 상관관계를 분석한 결과 계통별 잔류염소 감소와 Water age간 상관관계가 매우 높은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 Water age와 THMs 생성간의 결정계수값이 매우 높아 THMs 생성에 Water age가 중요한 인자임을 알 수 있었다. 잔류염소 감소율이 THMs 증가에 미치는 영향 또한 매우 높게 나타났으며, Water age가 길어질수록 수온과 THMs 생성에 미치는 영향은 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이와 반면 HAAs는 THMs와는 달리 Water age, 잔류염소, 수온과의 상관관계 조사결과 결정계수 값이 낮게 나타났다.

The fundamental data on the catch fluctuation in the rectangular set net according to the tide age were developed based on the catches recorded from the year 1986 to 2004 in the coastal waters of Hamdeok, Jeju. Total catch by the rectangular set net had a deep connection with the tide age. In particular, during increasing tide, total catch were reduced gradually from the neap tide to the high tide. As it turned out, the slope of total catch declined by degree and showed a correlation coefficient of determination of 0.76. On the contrary, in the case of decreasing tide, there was little sign of rise in total catch. In particular, large catch seemed to occur at the next tide to the neap tide. In the relation between the catch and the tide age, the level of the correlation coefficient chosen at $p{\leq}0.05$ decreased in the order rabbitfish(-0.84) and horse mackerel(-0.71), while the significance of other dominant species were not selected.

In this study, a mathematical model is established for prediction of chloride penetration in unsaturated cracked early-age concrete. The model is combined with models for thermo-hygro dynamic coupling of cement hydration, moisture transport and micro-structure development. Chloride permeability and water permeability at cracked early-age concrete specimens are evaluated using a rapid chloride permeability test and a low-pressure water permeability test, respectively. Then, a homogenization technique is introduced into the model to determine equivalent diffusion coefficient and equivalent Permeation coefficient. Increased chloride transport due to cracks at the specimen could be predicted fairly well by characterizing the cracks using proposed model. Proposed model is verified by comparing diffusion analysis results with test results.

An improvement of the test method is proposed to more accurately measure early-age autogenous shrinkage in concrete particularly within first 24 hours after casting. Experiments were conducted considering existing and improved method. In improved method, hydration temperature was artificially controlled to prevent thermal deformations. Test results indicate that the autogenous shrinkage calculated by existing approach is underestimated which might be due to the wrong assumption of considering the thermal dilation coefficient to be constant (equal to 10 ${\times}$ $10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$) at early-age. We recommend that the proposed method should be adopted to better assess precise value of autogenous shrinkage or an appropriate method of determining the time-evolution of thermal dilation coefficient be considered.

One of the major degradation processes of reinforced concrete (RC) structure is corrosion of reinforced steel due to chloride attack. Severe environments, such as marine environment and exposure to de-icing salts, could accelerate the steel corrosion of RC structures through the chloride ion intrusion into concrete. In order to delay this degradation process, several kinds of admixtures have been used in concrete mix. In this study, effective diffusion coefficient of chloride ion ($D_{eff}$) and total passed charge of concrete with and without fly ash were measured using electrical method. It is found that fly ash concrete has much less chloride ion coefficient than ordinary concrete at later age. By analyzing the test results, $D_{eff}$ at 28 and 90 days was obtained as a function of water-binder ratio (W/B) and an equation for predicting $D_{eff}$ with age was proposed considering the decreasing rate of $D_{eff}$.

Purpose: The dental age estimation of children is performed using dental maturity. Postmortem missing of the anterior teeth or the distortion of image of the anterior teeth in panoramic radiographs can make it difficult to analyze the development of the anterior teeth. This pilot study was conducted to derive a new age estimation method based only on the developmental stage of mandibular posterior teeth. Methods: This study was conducted using panoramic radiographs of 650 subjects aged 3 to 15 years old. The dental developmental stages of the lower left first premolar, second premolar, first molar and second molar were evaluated according to the Demirjian's criteria. The intra-/inter-observer reliability was evaluated, and multiple linear regression analyses were performed including the developmental stage of each tooth as an independent variable. Results: The intra-/inter-observer reliability was 0.9626 and 0.8877, respectively, and showed very high reproducibility. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed for males and females, and the age calculation table was derived by obtaining the intercept and the coefficient according to the development stage of each tooth. The coefficient of determination (r²) of the age calculation method was 0.9634 for male and 0.9570 for female subjects, and the mean difference between chronological age and estimated dental age was -0.42 and -0.21, respectively. Conclusions: This pilot study evaluated the developmental stages of four lower posterior teeth in the Korean group according to Demirjian's criteria, and derived age estimation method. The accuracy was lower than when more teeth were used, but it will be useful to estimate age of children when the anterior teeth are difficult to accurately analyze.

원전콘크리트는 두꺼운 벽체를 가진 매스콘크리트 구조이며 시공초기에 건조수축 및 수화열에 따른 균열이 발생하기 쉽다. 또한 냉각수를 항상 필요로 하므로 해안가에 위치하는데, 균열이 발생한 콘크리트에서는 염화물 이온의 유입으로 인해 철근 부식이 빠르게 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 6000 psi 급 고강도 원전콘크리트 배합을 이용하여 재령 및 균열에 따른 확산계수의 변화를 분석하였다. 이를 위해 재령 56일, 180일, 365일 동안 양생된 콘크리트에 균열폭을 0.0~1.4 mm까지 유도하였으며 정상상태의 촉진 확산실험을 수행하였다. 균열폭의 증가에 따라 확산계수는 최대 2.7~3.1배로 증가하였으며, 재령의 증가에 따른 확산계수의 저감성이 크게 평가되었다. 또한 180일 동안 비말대에 노출된 균열부 콘크리트에 대하여 겉보기 확산계수 및 표면염화물량을 평가하였으며, 촉진 실험결과와 비교를 수행하였다.
