This study intends to evaluate of the characteristics of pavement deformation and develop the model for prediction model in the asphalt layer using a regression analysis. In test, there are two different asphalt binders and 5 different aggregate types. The air voids of hot mix asphalt are 6% and 10% for target value. Repeated triaxial compression test with 3 different confining pressures was used for test at 3 different test temperatures. It is going to verify the main parameters for permanent deformation of HMA and to develop the distress model. This paper is to figure out the factor affecting the pavement deformation, and then to develop model the pavement deformation for asphalt mixture. Also, the reliability of prediction model has been studied. The permanent deformation prediction model for asphalt mixtures with temperature, loading time, and air voids has been developed and the proposed permanent deformation prediction model has been validated by using the multiple regression approach which is called Statistical Package for the Social Sciences(SPSS).

Recently, improvements in the standard of living in industrial area require the establishment of a convenient residential environment in order to enhance the quality of living. To achieve such an environment, it is necessary to effectively reduce or prevent various environmental problems occurring in and around residential areas. Although conventional concrete has been regarded as a destroyer of nature, water and air can pass freely through concrete when it is made porous concrete by forming continuous void. In view of the harmony between nature and concrete, various research paths are being taken focusing on coarse aggregates to make porous concrete having continuous voids so as to improve water and air permeability, acoustic absorption, water purification, and applicability to vegetation. In this study, the Physical and Mechanical Properties of porous concrete according to compaction method analyzed by void ratio, coefficient of permeability and compressive strength.

This study was conducted to derive quantitative air void volume calculation techniques in various complexes with porosity. Calculation of voids in a complex is an essential factor in improving mechanical properties, and quantitative measurement techniques are needed because the environment is not constant to apply the currently used ASTM criteria. Using the analysis technique obtained through 2D image analysis, it is believed that meaningful results can be derived through Micro CT analysis results and cross-check later.

Recently, the spread of intense social distancing and untact culture due to COVID-19 has increased the time spent indoors. In addition, according to the International Cancer Institute, fine dust was classified as a first-class carcinogen, a substance found to be carcinogenic, such as asbestos and benzene. As a result, interest in indoor air quality is increasing, and many studies are underway to reduce air pollutants. This study is a basic experiment of a board made to improve indoor air quality. The basic characteristics of the board, flexural strength and compressive strength, are analyzed and the results of the test are as follows. Experiments have shown that flexural strength and compressive strength tend to decrease as the replacement rate of hydrocarbons increases. It is believed that the strength of the sludge has decreased due to the increase in internal voids due to the increase in non-surface area, volume and diameter of microfiber as it undergoes the carbonation process. In addition, it is believed that the amount of moisture needed for curing during the mixing process was reduced due to the absorption of hydrocarbons.

In this study, the fresh properties of paraffin-mixed concrete, compressive strength, resistance to frost damage, and resistance to composite deterioration under freeze-thaw and salt environment were investigated. The compressive strength of paraffin-mixed concrete was almost the same as that of unmixed concrete, and no decrease in strength was observed, unlike the concrete with entrained air in consideration of freeze-thaw resistance. Concerning the freeze-thaw resistance of paraffin-mixed concrete, the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity (RDME) did not decrease even without entrained air. In addition, no decrease in the RDME was observed in the combined deterioration with salt damage, and it was confirmed that the mass reduction was suppressed compared to the concrete without paraffin. The freeze-thaw resistance of concrete when paraffin is mixed may be improved due to the reduction in the amount of frozen water and the mixed paraffin particles exist in the concrete as pore fillers with a size of 200 ㎛ or less, which act as substitutes for air voids. This resulted in reduction of the apparent air void spacing and thereby relieving the pore pressure.

A lot of experiments and analyses have been done to determine the aging mechanism of mica-epoxy composite material used for large generator stator windings in order to estimate remaining life of the generator for last decades. After degrading artificially the mica-epoxy composite material, the surface analysis is performed to analyze breakdown mechanism of insulation in air and hydrogen atmosphere; i) In the case of air atmosphere, it is observed that an aging propagation from conductor to core by partial discharge effect and the formation of cracks between layers is widely carbonized surface. ii) In case of hydrogen atmosphere, the partial discharge effect is reduced by the hydrogen pressure (4kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$). Potassium ions forming a sheet of mica is replaced by hydrogen ions, which can lead to microcracks. It is confirmed that the sizes of crack by SEM analysis are 10∼20[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in length under air, and 1∼5[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in diameter, 10∼50[$\mu\textrm{m}$] in length under hydrogen atmosphere respectively. The breakdown mechanism of sttor winding insulation materials which are composed of mica-epoxy is analyzed by the component of materials with EDS, SEM techniques. We concluded that the postassium ions of mica components are replaced by H\ulcorner, H$_3$O\ulcorner at boundary area of mica-epoxy and/or mica-mica. It is proposed that through these phenomena, the conductive layers of potassium enable creation of voids and cracks due to thermal, mechanical, electrical and environmental stresses.

The present study concerns the influence of binder type on the chloride-induced corrosion being accompanied by the chloride threshold level (CTL), chloride transport and as their results the corrosion-free lift. Two levels of cement content, $30\%$ PFA and $65\%$ GGBS concrete were employed. It was found that the most dominant factor to the CTL is the entrapped air void content at the steel-concrete interface, irrespective of the chloride binding capacity, binder type and acid neutralisation capacity of cement matrix. The CTL for lower interfacial air void contents was significantly increased up to $1.52\%$ by weight of cement, whereas a same mix produced $0.35\%$ for a higher level of voids. Because of a remarkable reduction in the diffusion fur GGBS concrete, its time to corrosion ranges from 255 to 1,250 days, while the corrosion-free life for control varies from 20 to 199 days sand for $30\%$ PFA concrete from 200 to 331 days.

This study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the dielectric constant and air void of asphalt concrete. Standard specimens that have air voids of various range $(0%{\sim}20%)$ were used to measure the dielectric constant using parallel plate method that measures low frequency dielectric constant. From the tests, dielectric constant of asphalt concrete was tend to decrease as the frequency was increased, and the decrement slope was varied with the types of asphalt binders. Dielectric constant was decreased linearly as air void was increased from zero to twenty percent. Consequently, the effect of temperature and moisture content on dielectric constants of asphalt concrete was evaluated to develop the standard curve between dielectric constant and air void of asphalt concrete. The standard curve developed in this study can be used to calibrate or develop the algorithm of non-destructive density gauge.

Ground water hydrology may be defined as the science of the occnrrence, distribution, and movement of water below the surface of the earth. Geohydrology has an identical connotation, and hydrogeology differs only by its greater emphasis on geology. Ground water referred to with out further specification is commonly understood to mean water occupying all the voids with in a geologic stratum. This saturated zone is tobe distinguished from an unsaturated, or aeration zone where voids are filled \yith water and air. Water contained in saturate:! zones is important for engineering works, geologic studies, and water supply developements Conseqently, the occurrence of water in these zones will be emphasized here. Un-saturated zones are usualiy found above saturated zones and extending upward to the ground surface. Because this water includes soil moisture with in the root zone, it is a major concern of agricultlre, botmy and soil science. No rigid demarcation of waters, between the two zones is possible, for they possess an iriterdependent boundary and water can move from zone to zone in either science, including eology, hydrology, meteorology, and oceanography are concerned with earths water, but ground water hydrology may be regarded as a specialized science combining elements of geology, hydrology, and fluid mechanics. Geology governs the occurrence and distribution of ground water, hydrology determines the supply of water to the ground, and fluid mechanics explains its movement. To provide maximum development of grofnd water resources. for benefical use requires thinking in terms of an entire ground water basin. In order to inorease the natural supply of ground water, man has attempted to artifially recharge ground water basins. Coastal aquifers come in contact with the ocean at seawater of the coastline. Fresh ground water is discharged in to the ocean. the seaward flow of ground water has been decreased or even reversed, Sea water penettating in land in aquifer.

For hydrogen-cooled large turbine generators, partial discharges in ground wall insulations are suppressed by high hydrogen pressure. The first goal of the experiment is to investigate the effect of hydrogen pressure on partial discharge activity and aging rate in turbine generator winding insulations. A series of tests have been performed on two groups of the accelerated aging experiments. The first group of stator windings was aged under hydrogen pressure of 4 atm while the second group of stator windings was aged under air atmosphere. The stator windings aged under air atmosphere suffer from larger partial discharge magnitude with larger voids at high electrical stress than those under hydrogen pressure. The second goal of the experiment is to evaluate the validity of on-line measurement technique which is normally measured under hydrogen environment. The test results show that further experiments are needed to apply the on-line scheme to turbine generator being under high hydrogen pressure.
