Purpose - This study quantifies sources of trade balance dynamics over the business cycle in Korea. Specifically, we quantify the relative importance of domestic and foreign factors on trade balance dynamics using a small open economy real business cycle (SOE-RBC) model and provide policy implications for stabilization policies. Aggregate productivity and interest rate spreads are considered domestic factors affecting the trade balance. A world interest rate (the U.S. interest rate) is considered a foreign factor. Design/methodology - Following Neumeyer and Perri (2005), we build the SOE-RBC model with three types of shocks: aggregate productivity, interest rate spread, and world interest shocks. The model is estimated by the generalized method of moments (GMM) using relevant business cycle statistics. The estimated model is used for quantifying the relative importance of domestic and foreign factors on trade balance dynamics in Korea. Findings - Our main findings can be summarized as follows: 85.64% of the trade balance fluctuations in Korea are explained by domestic factors, the remaining 14.35% by foreign factors. Particularly, trade balance dynamics are mostly accounted for by the change in aggregate productivity shocks (85.58%). World interest rate shocks considerably explain trade balance (14.35%), whereas the role of interest rate spread shocks that represent domestic risks is limited (0.08%). Although aggregate productivity is key in explaining trade balance dynamics in Korea, interest rates still have an essential role. This is because aggregate productivity changes induce interest rate spread variations and, thus, the trade balance significantly. The results suggest that government policies mitigating fluctuations in aggregate productivity would be effective for stabilization policies in Korea by reducing the trade balance volatility. Originality/value - Existing studies on the emerging market business cycle examine mostly Latin American countries, and the main object of the studies is the volatility of consumption rather than trade balance dynamics. Conversely, our study examines Korea rather than Latin American countries. Additionally, we examine sources of trade balance dynamics, which are relatively more important in Korea, rather than those of the volatility of consumption. Hence, we estimate the model to explicitly match moments related to trade balance in the data.

In this research, to evaluate the influence of using non-KS aggregate on concrete performance, the engineering properties of normal strength concrete were assessed depending on the KS aggregate and non-KS aggregate from various sources in mid-Korea. From the experiment, when the non-KS aggregate was used, low compressive strength was achieved with increased water-to-cement ratio caused by increased unit water due to high absorption rate of the non-KS aggregate.

Recently, the gap between demand and supply of natural aggregate has increased owing to the depletion of aggregate sources. Therefore, policy support is necessary for the stable supply of aggregate resources. Public and construction works experience problems when they do not receive a steady supply of aggregate. Further, instabilities in aggregate supply lead to increases in aggregate prices, and consequently construction costs. As a result, the likelihood of poor construction using low-grade aggregate increases. It is therefore crucial to put measures in place that deal with these issues. This study aims to reduce the load imposed by aggregate use on the environment by recycling soil dredged from sewage ducts to reduce the gap between supply and demand of fine aggregate. The dredged soil is assessed using an applicability test for quality characteristics and solidification with basic properties. This study aims to secure the safety of dredging soil and solidified objects through interior physical and chemical analyses and to utilize it as a base material for concrete solidification in the future.

When using non KS aggregate muck pile in general, compared to when using KS aggregate, when obtaining an identical slump a high unit quantity of water was confirmed, and when designing the concrete mix the compressive strength of concrete decreased due to an increase in W/B. Therefore because the use of non KS aggregate decreases the liquidity, strength and durability etc. qualities of concrete from an overall performance point of view, there is a need for the used of KS aggregate and when using aggregate that does not adhere to KS standards, it is determined there is a need for appropriate concrete mix design and care.

To provide the end-to-end service differentiation for assured services, the random early demotion and promotion (REDP) marker in the edge router at each domain boundary monitors the aggregate flow of the incoming in-profile packets and demotes in-profile packets or promotes the previously demoted in-profile packets at the aggregate flow level according to the negotiated interdomain service level agreement (SLA). The REDP marker achieves UDP fairness in demoting and promoting packets through random and early marking decisions on packets. But, TCP fairness of the REDP marker is not obvious as for UDP sources. In this paper, to improve TCP fairness of the REDP marker, we propose a modified REDP marker where we combine a dropper, meters and a token filling rate configuration component with the REDP marker. To make packet transmission rates of TCP flows more fair, at the aggregate flow level the combined dropper drops incoming excessive in-profile packets randomly with a constant probability when the token level in the leaky bucket stays in demotion region without incoming demoted in-profile packets. Considering the case where the token level cannot stay in demotion region without the prior demotion, we propose a token filling rate configuration method using traffic meters. By using the token filling rate configuration method, the modified REDP marker newly configures a token filling rate which is less than the negotiated rate determined by interdomain SLA and larger than the current input aggregate in-profile traffic rate. Then, with the newly configured token filling rate, the token level in the modified REDP marker can stay in demotion region pertinently fir the operation of the dropper to improve TCP fairness. We experiment with the modified REDP marker using ns2 simulator fur TCP sources at the general case where the token level cannot stay in demotion region without the prior demotion at the negotiated rate set as the bottleneck link bandwidth. The simulation results demonstrate that through the combined dropper with the newly configured token filling rate, the modified REDP marker also increases both aggregate in-profile throughput and link utilization in addition to TCP fairness improvement compared to the REDP marker.

In the case of concrete recently manufactured with a concrete mixing truck, although aggregate and cement are used as the main ingredients, from a costs savings perspective, low quality aggregates are processed and used as concrete aggregate. In the case of these low quality aggregates, the unit volume and unit binder weights are increased for manufacturing, and due to this problems such as dry shrinking of the architecture and economic infeasibility have arisen. Therefore by changing the aggregate material and the unit binder weights that are currently being distributed, this research analyzes the influence on concrete.

골재는 일반적으로 암석이 강에서 운반되거나 인공적으로 파쇄되어 형성된 모래와 자갈 등을 말하며, 건설 산업의 핵심 자원이다. 경상북도는 전국에서 가장 넓은 행정구역으로, 산림골재, 육상골재, 하천골재, 선별파쇄골재 등 다양한 종류의 골재를 생산하고 있다. 2022년 기준으로 약 696 만m³의 골재를 채취하였으며, 이 중 허가에 의한 채취물량은 약 407 만m³, 신고물량은 약 288 만m³이다. 경상북도의 골재수요는 레미콘 공급량의 추정 방법에 따라 1,239 만m³로 나타난다. 골재의 공급 측면에서는 약 120 개의 채취장이 운영되고 있으며, 대부분의 시군에서는 골재의 수요와 공급이 적절하게 유지되고 있다. 다만, 일부 지역에서는 경상북도 인접지역에 반입과 반출이 발생하고 있다. 경상북도의 골재의 반입과 반출이 많은 지역은 경부선을 따라 경상북도 남부와 대구광역시, 포항시로 연결되는 지역이며 인구의 분포와 높은 관련성이 나타난다. 경상북도는 인구 감소와 농촌 지역의 고령화, 지역 간의 균형 발전 부족 등의 문제에 직면하고 있으며, 연구결과로 제시된 GIS를 이용하여 출발지-도착지 분석을 통해 파악된 골재의 수요와 공급 흐름에서도 이러한 양상이 확인된다. 경상북도의 골재산업구조와 공간구조를 분석한 결과 현재 경상북도는 다양한 골재원의 공급으로 수요를 충족하고 안정적인 골재 수급이 유지되고 있다. 하천골재와 육상골재는 장기적인 개발이 어렵기 때문에 단기간 공급전략으로 유지될 수 있으며, 선별파쇄를 통한 공급은 원석 공급에 의존하여 안정성 유지가 어려운 상황을 고려하여 원석관리의 필요성을 제안하였다. 경상북도에서는 골재자원의 안정적 공급을 위한 장기적인 대안으로 산림골재가 중요 자원으로 부각되어 대규모 골재 채석장 개발의 필요성을 제시하였다. 본 연구결과는 골재 자원의 지속 가능한 관리와 안정적 활용을 위한 전략 수립에 중요한 정보를 제공할 것으로 기대된다.
