  • 2003년과 2005년 각각 하수슬러지 및 음식물쓰레기 직매립이 금지되는 시기에 지렁이를 이용한 유기성폐기물처리기술은 환경 친화적 처리방법으로 유기성폐기물 처리비용적 측면에서도 매우 저렴한 처리방법으로 이용되고 있는 기술이다. 그러나 지렁이 이용기술은 도입초기의 이용기술이 현재에도 적용되고 있으며, 체계적인 연구 및 정책적인 지원의 부족 등으로 지렁이 퇴비화 산업의 발전에 많은 영향을 미치고 있다. 따라서 향후 지렁이 이용기술의 보급과 아울러 지렁이 퇴비화 산업의 발전을 위하여 기술적인 문제점인 과대한 사육부지이용 및 처리공정의 자동화 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 또한 지렁이 이용기술의 체계적인 연구와 국가적 차원의 정책적인 지원방안이 필요하다.

  • 최근 국가경제규모의 성장과 더불어 단위 건설현장의 규모도 대형화, 복합화되어 가고 있다. 이에 건설시장은 공기단축, 원가절감, 품질개선을 요구하게 되었고, 보다 효율적인 프로젝트 관리를 위해 첨단기술을 적용한 연구가 다양하게 진행되고 있다. 특히, 건설현장의 인력, 자재, 장비 등의 다양한 자원에 대한 실시간 위치추적기술인 RTLS기술은 안전관리에 효과적인 것으로 평가받고 있다. 하지만 건축공사 뿐만아니라 해양, 도시 및 타 산업분야에서 연구와 적용이 이뤄지는 것과는 달리 협소하고 위험요소가 많은 터널공사에 대한 연구는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 RTLS기술을 이용한 터널현장에서의 안전관리를 위한 모델을 제시하고, 이의 현장적용성 검토를 실시하였다. 적용성 검토 결과, 제시된 모델은 발생되는 일부의 오차로 인해 현장에 바로 적용하기 힘드나 하드웨어기술의 발전과 위치보정에 대한 노력으로 극복할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구를 통해서 토목분야의 효율적인 프로젝트관리는 물론 안전관리의 방향을 제시하는데 이바지할 것으로 사료된다.

  • In this study, a new retrofitting method for improving the seismic performance of reinforced concrete column was presented, in which prestressed steel strips were utilized as retrofitting stuff to confine the reinforced concrete column transversely. In order to figure out the seismic performance of concrete column specimen retrofitted by such prestressed steel strips methods, a series of quasi-static tests of five retrofitted specimens and two unconfined column specimen which acted as control specimens were conducted. Based on the test results, the seismic performance including the failure modes, hysteresis performance, ductility performance, energy dissipation and stiffness degradation of all these specimens were fully investigated and analyzed. And furthermore the influences of some key parameters such as the axial force ratios, shear span ratios and steel strips spacing on seismic performance of those retrofitted reinforced concrete column specimens were also studied. It was shown that the prestressed steel strips provided large transverse confining effect on reinforced concrete column specimens, which resulted in improving the shearing bearing capacity, ductility performance, deformation capacity and energy dissipation performance of retrofitted specimens effectively. In comparison to the specimen which was retrofitted by the carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) strips method, the seismic performance of the specimens retrofitted by the prestressed steel strips was a bit better, and with much less cost both in material and labor. From this research results, it can be concluded that this new retrofitting method is really useful and has significant advantages both in saving money and time over some other retrofitting methods.

  • LPWA는 넓은 커버리지를 통해 구축비용 및 시간이 절감되는 기술이다. 하지만 LPWA는 UHF 전파를 사용하는 ISM 대역으로 직진성이 강해 실내에서는 성능이 매우 떨어지지만 실내에서도 다른 통신에 비해 높은 성능을 낼 수 있는 가능성이 있기 때문에 본 논문에서는 LPWA 기술 중 LoRa를 적용하여 실내 통신 성능을 측정하는 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위해 4층에 데이터 수신 모듈을 설치한 후 동일 층부터 1층까지 건물의 끝에 송신 모듈을배치한 후 데이터를 수집하였다. 실험결과 1층 송신 모듈의 데이터를 98~99% 확률로 수집 가능하였으며 최저 RSSI는 약 -116 dBm을 나타내었다. 따라서 확산인자가 12일 때 최대 수신감도 -136 dBm을 갖는 LoRa의 스펙을 고려할 경우 산업현장 건물 내부의 LPWA 적용을 충분히 고려할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

  • This paper describes the designs and the implementations of two H/W IPSec Systems, look-aside and inline, on TOE (Transport Offloading Engine). These systems aim for guaranteeing the security of datagram networks while preserving the bandwidth of gigabit networks. The TOE offloads a host CPU from network burdens, so that it makes the gigabit wire speed possible, and then deeper level security architecture of the IPSec guarantees the security of gigabit service network dominated by datagram packets. The focus of this paper is to minimize the TOE's performance degradation caused by the computation-oriented IPSec. The look-aside IPSec system provides a significant improvement in the CPU offload of the IPSec cryptography loads. However, the inline system completely offloads the host CPU from whole IPSec loads, providing significant additional cost saving compared to the look-aside system. In this paper, the implementations of TOE cards including commercial IPSec processors are presented. As the result of performance evaluation with the protocol analyzer, we can get the fact that the inline IPSec system is 8 times faster than the S/W system and 2 times faster than the look-aside system.

  • A Dynamic Voltage Restorer (DVR) model is proposed to eliminate the short-term voltage disturbances that occur in the grid-connected mode, the switching between grid-connected mode and the stand-alone mode of a Microgrid. The proposed DVR structure is based on a conventional cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (MLI) topology; a novel composite control strategy is presented, which could ensure the compensation ability of voltage sag by the DVR. Moreover, the compensation to specified order of harmonic is added to implement effects that zero-steady error compensation to harmonic voltage in specified order of the presented control strategy; utilizing wind turbines-batteries units as DC energy storage components in the Microgrid, the operation cost of the DVR is reduced. When the Microgrid operates under stand-alone mode, the DVR can operate on microsource mode, which could ease the power supply from the main grid (distribution network) and consequently be favorable for energy saving and emission reduction. Simulation results validate the robustness and effective of the proposed DVR system.

  • PURPOSES : A study on the efforts to minimize the road traffic noise has been underway. An attempt has been made to measure the noise level using a noise map; however, the attempt is limited to certain areas only. In general, a noise barrier is employed to prevent road traffic noise; however, unplanned noise barriers developed without considering the surrounding environment, including excessively high walls, cause problems such as infringement on prospect right. Noise ceiling at daytime in Korea is 68 dB(A), which is relatively higher than in other countries. METHODS: The noise barrier used mainly for road noise reduction was analyzed to estimate the optimal height. Related variables such as road width, the height of the upper part, distance to the building, and angle (for instance, $30^{\circ}$). RESULTS : A formula to calculate the optical height of the noise barrier, considering the road environment (i.e., parameters such as road width and distance to building), was developed in this study in an attempt to mitigate the noise generated from the road. CONCLUSIONS : The formula to calculate the noise barrier is expected to lead to cost saving, accurate installation of barriers, and protection of the right of prospect.

  • As the fuel oil cost covers from 45% to 60% of the total expenditure for fishing boat operation, the energy saving is now an urgent problem to be taken a countermeasure for engineers, manufacturers or specialists engaging in this field. Undertaking a second-hand engine of the trainging ship, the author made several reconstructions to restore its performances. By inserting foot linears of connecting rods the compression ratio was increased and by adjusting both the fuel injection timing and the cooling water outlet temperature, its thermal efficiency was improved. The results of the experimental operation were summarized as follows. 1. By raising the piston top position 0.75mm more than the value of the operating manual, the compression pressure increased 1.3 kg/$cm^2$ and the maximum pressure did 3.4 kg/$cm^2$ at 75% load. 2. At 75% load, the difference of the maximum pressure between each cylinder was decreased from 2.4 kg/$cm^2$ to 1.8 kg/$cm^2$. 3. The fuel consumption was decreased about 8 g/ps.h at 75% load, and about 5.3 g/ps.h at 85% load. 4. The brake thermal efficiency was improved about 1.5% at 75% load and 0.9% at 85% load.

  • Oil sands are a mixture of sand, clay, and a high-viscosity petroleum called bitumen. Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is the most viable and environmentally safe recovery technology for extracting bitumen. It extracts the viscosity-lowered bitumen by high pressure, high temperature steam injected into the bitumen reservoir. The steam is produced at the Central Processing Facility (CPF). Typically, more than 90% of the energy consumed in producing bitumen are used to generate the steam. Fuels are employed in the process, which cause economic and environmental problems. This paper explores the retrofit of heat exchanger network to reduce the usage of hot and cold utilities. The hot and cold utilities are reduced respectively 6% and 37.3% which in turn resulted in 5.3% saving of total annual cost by improving the existing heat exchanger network of the CPF.

  • This paper introduces the special eddy current sensor and its characteristic for bolt hole defect evaluation in gas turbine rotor. In the past, Fluorescent penetration inspection method was used for qualitative defect evaluation in gas turbine rotor bolt hole. This method can defect the bolt hole defect but can not evaluate the defect size. Nowadays, eddy current method is used quantitative defect evaluation due to advanced sensor design technology. And eddy current method is more time and cost saving than the old method. We developed bolt shape eddy current sensor for the rotor bolt hole defect detection and evaluation. The eddy current sensor moves to the bolt hole guided by screw nut and detects the defect on the bolt hole. The bolt hole mock-up and artificial defects were made and used for the signal detection & resolution analysis of eddy current sensor. The results show that signal detection capability is enough to detect 0.2 mm depth defect. And the resolution capability is enough to differentiate 02, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mm depth defect.
