Growing demand and rapid development of the synthetic fiber rope in mooring system have taken place since it has been used in deep water platform lately. Unlike a chain mooring, synthetic fiber rope composed of lightweight materials such as Polyester(polyethylene terephthalate), HMPE(high modulus polyethylene) and Aramid(aromatic polyamide). Non-linear stiffness and another failure mode are distinct characteristics of synthetic fiber rope when compared to mooring chain. When these ropes are exposed to environmental load for a long time, the length of rope will be increased permanently. This is called 'the creep phenomenon'. Due to the phenomenon, The initial characteristics of mooring systems would be changed because the length and stiffness of the rope have been changed as time goes on. The changed characteristics of fiber rope cause different mooring tension and vessel offset compared to the initial design condition. Commercial mooring analysis software that widely used in industries is unable to take into account this phenomenon automatically. Even though the American Petroleum Institute (API) or other classification rules present some standard or criteria with respect to length and stiffness of a mooring line, simulation guide considers the mechanical properties that is not mentioned in such rules. In this paper, the effect of creep phenomenon in the fiber rope mooring system under specific environment condition is investigated. Desiged mooring system for a Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit(MODU) with HMPE rope which has the highest creep is analyzed in a time domain in order to investigate the effects creep phenomenon to vessel offset and mooring tension. We have developed a new procedure to an analysis of mooring system reflecting the creep phenomenon and it is validated through a time domain simulation using non-linear mooring analysis software, OrcaFlex. The result shows that the creep phenomenon should be considered in analysis procedure because it affects the length and stiffness of synthetic fiber rope in case of high water temperature and permanent mooring system.

Commonly-used polymers are manufactured as versatile forms. Furthermore, continuous polymer fibers are recently manufactured using nylon or aramid fiber. One of common epoxy was also used to make polymer fibers. Bisphenol-A type was used as base epoxy whereas amine and anhydride were used as hardeners. Epoxy fibers was cured by stepping up the temperature to maintain the shape of epoxy fiber. Surface energy was measured to confirm the degree of interfacial adhesion by modified static contact angle method. After mechanical properties were measured via fiber tensile test, the evaluation of fiber fracture was proceeded. Tensile strength of epoxy fiber using amine type hardener was higher as 138 MPa than anhydride case as 70 MPa. Fractured surface exhibited different failure patterns at the cross-section.

아라미드 섬유소재는 고강도, 고내열성의 소재로 다양한 용도전개가 가능하나, 일광 및 부식에 의한 내광성 및 내후성이 급격하게 저하되는 단점이 있다. 자외선의 광화학적 작용에 의해 변퇴, 경화, 취하, 강도저하가 일어나는 단점을 보완하기 위해 내광성 및 내화학성이 우수한 전이금속산화물 소재와의 복합화를 통해 내광성 및 내화학성 개선에 대하여 연구하였다. zinc acetate 수화물과 수산화리튬을 무수에탄올로 용해시킨 용액을 강하게 교반하여 나노 산화아연 졸을 제조하였다. 제조된 나노크기의 zinc oxide 입자의 형상과 입자분포 등 제조특성을 입도분석기, FE-SEM 및 EDS 분석을 통하여 고찰하였으며, 제조된 나노졸을 아라미드 섬유에 침지시켜 Xenon-arc 내후성시험기에서 80시간 동안 노출시켜 노출시간에 따른 물성변화를 분석하였다. 나노졸을 5~20% 픽업으로 패딩한 후 광에 노출된 아라미드의 인장강도는 나노졸을 처리하지 않은 아라미드 섬유보다 20~30% 개선된 인장강도를 나타내었다.

Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) is an innovative new material that, in comparison to conventional concretes, has high compressive strength and excellent ductility properties achieved through the addition of randomly dispersed short fibers to the concrete mix. This study presents the results of an experimental investigation on the behavior of axially loaded UHPC short circular columns wrapped with Carbon-FRP (CFRP), Glass-FRP (GFRP), and Aramid-FRP (AFRP) sheets. Six plain and 36 different types of FRP-wrapped UHPC columns with a diameter of 100 mm and a length of 200 mm were tested under monotonic axial compression. To predict the ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns, a simple confinement model is presented and compared with four selected confinement models from the literature that have been developed for low and normal strength concrete columns. The results show that the FRP sheets can significantly enhance the ultimate strength and strain capacity of the UHPC columns. The average greatest increase in the ultimate strength and strain for the CFRP- and GFRP-wrapped UHPC columns was 48% and 128%, respectively, compared to that of their unconfined counterparts. All the selected confinement models overestimated the ultimate strength of the FRP-wrapped UHPC columns.

The near infrared ray camouflage fabric has a near infrared ray reluctance similar to the surrounding environment and has a camouflage effect on the surrounding environment. Synthetic fibers used in military uniforms are difficult to have gastrointestinal function as general commercial dyes, unlike cellulose fibers, which use some commercial vat dyes to impart infrared gastrointestinal function. In this study, we optimized the adsorption pH, temperature and time for NIR dye application for polyester fabrics, and established the optimum concentration for the evaluation of adsorption build-up characteristics. In addition, it is difficult to adsorb it since the polyester material has a dense crystal structure and the NIR dye is bulky. Therefore, a swelling agent used for dyeing meta-aramid fibers with high Tg and high crystallinity was introduced as a separate preparation to increase the affinity to polyester, which is a hydrophobic fiber, to thereby obtain an excellent adsorption rate. As a result of comparing before and after using swelling agent, the adsorption rate difference was 10 times or more when compared with before.

In recent years, extreme rainfall and rainy seasons caused by climate change have caused river flooding and flooding damage, and it is urgent to solve economic and environmental problems in the city center due to the increase in the number of peak homes. The gap block, called the fitting block, is designed to facilitate rainwater pitching by forming a gap between the block and the block by forming a concave part and a protrusion of the block differently without the use of an existing spacer. In this study, for the production of such a gap block, the existing cement content was reduced and aramid fibers and exploration fibers, which are industrial by-products such as Goroslag fine powder and reinforcing fibers, were applied.

This study carried out a shear experiment on concrete deep beam reinforced AFRP to investigate the shear strength of deep beam. The test was conducted on 8 specimens, and the variables were shear span ratio, reinforcement ratio, effective depth, and rebar type. We compared shear strength using ACI 318-08 STM with proposed equations that considered arching action according to shear span ratio. As a result, it was found that shear strength of deep beam reinforced AFRP rebar presented higher shear strength than steel rebar. ACI STM's predictions are more accurate than other predicting equations, and thus this research proposed model versus effective compressive strength of the concrete strut that considered strut size effect based on test results. The predictions obtained using the proposed model are in better agreement than previous equations and codes.

아라미드 섬유는 태양광의 직사광선에 계속 노출될 경우 120주 경과 후에는 강도가 3분의 1로 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이와 같은 단점을 보완하기 위해 나노 크기의 금속산화물인 $TiO_2$ 졸-겔 나노합성법을 이용하여 나노졸을 제조하고 이를 직물에 함침하는 공정을 통하여 아라미드 섬유의 내광성 증진에 대해 연구하였다. TTIP, TEOS 등의 금속전구체를 이용하여 구형의 나노졸 합성에 의한 $TiO_2$ 나노졸을 수분산형태의 졸로서 섬유가공 공정상에 접목하였다. 제조된 나노크기의 $TiO_2$ 입자분포와 크기, 미세구조 및 결정상을 알아보기 위해 입도분포분석기, TEM, XRD를 이용하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노졸을 함침한 아라미드 직물은 내광성은 24, 48, 96시간 동안 Xenon-arc 광조사한 후, 물성변화를 분석하였다. 나노졸 합성시 반응물의 농도 및 용액의 pH 조건에 따른 나노졸의 미세구조를 TEM을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 반응물의 농도에 따라 평균입도는 313.7nm, 500.5nm, 840.3nm, 1002nm로 커졌다. 하지만, 반응물의 농도가 증가할수록 시간이 지남에 따라 입자들이 층 분리 현상이 관찰되었으며, 단분산된 나노졸 입자를 제조하기 위해서는 TTIP의 투입량을 0.67mole(200ml)로 유지하였다. 또한 이를 아라미드 직물에 함침하여 광조사 시간에 따른 아라미드 섬유의 물리적 특성의 변화를 분석하였다.

막구조(Membrane structure)란 건축분야에서 "fabric structure" 또는 tension structure"와 같이 사용되는 용어로 코팅된 직물(coated fabrics)을 주재료로 사용하는 구조를 말한다. 특히 구조체로서 연성의 막을 이용 이것에 초기 장력을 주어 강성을 늘림으로서 외부하중에 대하여 안정된 형태를 유지하는 장점을 갖고 있다. 초기 창안된 독일의 온화한 기후에 적용되는 반면 한국이나 일본에는 60m/sec를 넘나드는 태풍의 피해와 많은 적설량을 보이는 기후적 제약으로 발달되지 못하였다. 그러나 최근 새로운 소재의 막구조 제품 개발과 구조해석 방법 및 시공기술 등이 개발되어 보편화되어지고 있는 실정이다. 막구조용 재료로 사용되는 섬유소재는 주로 Polyester직물을 기재로 한 PVC 코팅 제품으로 일반 PVC 막재는 장력이 약하고, 광선에 의한 물성이 쉽게 변화되어 내구연한이 5~15년에 불과하다. 유리섬유나 아라미드섬유 등으로 제직한 기재에 고내열 실리콘이나 PTFE 수지를 코팅한 제품은 약품에 대한 내구성이 높고 자외선에 대해서는 매우 큰 저항성을 가지기 때문에 내구연한이 10년에서 30년 까지도 향상된다. 그러나 실리콘 코팅막은 세계적으로 가장 좋은 막재로 알려졌으나 자정능력(Self Cleaning)에 문제가 발생되어 사용량이 감소 추세라고 할 수 있다. 일반적인 코팅 가공의 경우 MEK, Toluene, DMF 등과 같은 유기용제를 다량 사용함에 따라 작업환경 및 대기오염, 화재 위험 등의 문제점이 있으며 특히 가공시 잔류되는 유기용제의 심각성이 대두되고 있는 상황이다. 이와 같이 코팅 가공제 자체를 친환경적인 물질로 대체하여 각종 환경규제에 대응하고 유해 폐기물의 발생을 줄일 수 있는 코팅 가공제 및 가공기술 개발이 절실하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 Glass-Fiber, Aramid 등의 슈퍼 섬유와 고 강력 섬유 등을 이용하여 PTFE 코팅제품과 비슷한 수준의 성능을 부여하는 무용제형 실리콘 코팅 수지를 개발하고 내구성능 향상, Self Cleaning성, 난연성, 자외선 차단, 인장강도 및 인열 강도의 향상 등 다양한 기능성을 부여하는 최적의 환경 친화적 코팅 공정 기술을 개발하여 차세대 건축용 막구조 제품을 개발하고자 한다.
