본 연구에서는 산업부산물인 인산석고와 EPS 조각을 기존의 성토용 토사에 혼합하여 지반응력을 감소시킴으로써 고함수비로 준설매립된 공유수면 내 초연약지반의 침하, 활동파괴, 측방유동 등의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 경량혼합토를 개발하였다. 개발된 경량혼합토는 공유수면 매립지역에서 대량이용이 가능한 도로 및 교대의 성토재료, 각종 뒤채움재로의 사용에 대한 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 기본물성시험, 다짐시험, CBR시험, 전단강도시험 등 일련의 실내시험을 수행하였고 지반공학적 특성을 검토하였다. 시험결과, 경량혼합토의 최대건조단위중량은 $14.32{\sim}15.79kN/m^3$, 최적함수비는 21.91~24.23%로 일반 화강풍화토와 비교할 때 9.4~19.3%의 하중감소 효과가 있으며, 수정 CBR값은 10.4~18.4%로 국내 도로노상 및 뒤채움재에 대한 규정을 만족하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 전단강도정수는 점착력 10.79~18.64kPa, 내부마찰각 $35.4{\sim}37.2^{\circ}$로 각각 나타나 국내에서 일반적으로 사용되는 성토재료 및 뒤채움재 범위를 충족시키는 것으로 평가되어 실제 성토재료 및 뒤채움재로 연약지반에서 효과적으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 본 연구를 통하여 개발된 인산석고 경량혼합토는 하중감소 효과가 있으면서도 전단강도와 지지력면에서 큰 문제가 없어서 연약한 임해매립지반의 도로 노상토 및 뒤채움재로 사용될 수 있어 인산석고의 대량 재활용방안이 될 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 라멘식 모듈러 건축물의 비내력 벽체 적용성 검토를 목적으로 국가건설기준센터 KCS 14 20 20 경량골재 콘크리트에서 규정하는 성능을 기준으로 바텀애시와 코팅된 발포폴리스티렌 비드를 활용하여 경량 콘크리트 실험을 진행하였다. 코팅된 발포폴리스티렌 비드를 사용할 경우, 경량 콘크리트 강도 성능에 부정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다. 하지만 단위 질량의 감소와 단열성능에 긍정적인 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났고, 바텀애시의 경우 기존 연구와 마찬가지로 내부 공극 특성으로 인하여 열전도율 값이 낮게 나타났다. 이를 통하여 발포폴리스티렌 비드 50%와 10~20mm의 바텀애시 50%를 굵은 골재로 대체하는 배합이 표준시방서의 단위 질량과 설계기준 강도를 만족하며 가장 열전도율이 낮은 배합으로 나타났다.

Reinforced soil and Expanded Polystyrenes (EPS) mixture (RSEM) is a geomaterial which has many merits, such as light weight, wide strength range, easy for construction, and economic feasibility. It has been widely applied to improve soft ground, solve bridge head jump, fill cavity in pipeline and widen highway. Reutilizing dredged sediment to produce RSEM as earthfill can not only consume a large amount of waste sediment but also significantly reduce the construction cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need understand the basic stress-strain characteristics of reinforced dredged sediment-EPS mixture (RDSEM). A series of cyclic triaxial tests were then carried out on the RDSEM and control clay. The effects of cement content, EPS beads content and confining pressure on the cyclic stress-strain behaviour of RDSEM were analyzed. It is found that the three stages of dynamic stress-strain relationship of ordinary soil, vibration compaction stage, vibration shear stage and vibration failure stage are also applicative for RDSEM. The cyclic stress-strain curves of RDSEM are lower than that of control clay in the vibration compaction stage because of its high moisture content. The slopes of backbone curves of RDSEMs in the vibration shear stage are larger than that of control clay, indicating that the existence of EPS beads provides plastic resistance. With the increase of cement content, the cyclic stress-strain relationship tends to be steeper. Increasing cement content and confining pressure could improve the cyclic strength and cyclic stiffness of RDSEM.

Membrane biofouling is a critical operational problem that hinders the rapid commercialization of MBRs. Quorum quenching (QQ) has been investigated widely to control membrane biofouling and is accepted as a promising anti-fouling strategy. Various QQ strategies based on bacterial and enzymatic agents have been identified and applied successfully. Whereas, this study aimed to compare indigenously isolated QQ strain i.e., Enterobacter cloaca with well reported Rhodococcus sp. BH4. Both bacterial species were immobilized in polymeric beads and introduced to two different MBRs keeping the overall beads to volume ratio as 1%. Efficiencies of these strains were monitored in terms of prolonging the membrane filtration cycle of MBR, release of extra-cellular polymeric substances, membrane resistivity measurements and mineralization of signal molecules and permeate quality. Indigenous strain (Enterobacter cloaca) was added to $QQ-MBR_E$ while Rhodococcus sp. BH4 was introduced to $QQ-MBR_R$. QQ bacterial embedded beads showed enhanced filtration cycles up to 1.4 and 2.3 times for $QQ-MBR_E$ and $QQ-MBR_R$ respectively as compared to control MBR (C-MBR). Soluble EPS concentration of 52 mg/L was observed in C-MBR while significantly lower EPS concentration of 20 and 10 mg/L was witnessed in $QQ-MBR_E$ and $QQ-MBR_R$, respectively. Therefore, substantial reduction in biofouling showed the effectiveness of indigenous strain.

Behavior of a package of a microwave oven under the clamping condition is evaluated by tests and the finite element analyses. PAM-CRASH software is used for the finite element analyses. Results of the analyses are compared with those of the tests and accuracy is shown to be favorable. Under the clamping condition of the original design, severe deformation occurs and an improved design of the outer case and upper EPS(Expandable Poly Styrene) is proposed to reduce it. Face beads of the outer case are introduced and shape of the upper EPS is modified to reduce the deformation resulting from the clamping load. The improved design model is analyzed and its deformation is shown to be satisfactory. A prototype is produced according to the improved design and tests are performed. Results of the clamping test of the prototype show that the plastic deformation is removed totally.

Various performances of ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) applied with microplastics and expanded polystyrene (EPS) beads were evaluated. CompressIve and flexural strength, performance after ignition, flow-down in fresh state, and effective bond strength were evaluated. Designed weight of the cement panel with these mixtures was calculated based on the flexural strength. As a result of the experiments, it was confirmed that the EPS could reduce the density of UHPC with largest range. By maximum addition of EPS beeds, the density of UHPC decreased to 1300 kg/m³, and the compressive and flexural strengths for this mixtures were in ranges of 20-30 MPa and 15-20 MPa, respectively. On the other hand, lightest cement panel could be designed with UHPC having a density ranges about 2.0 g/cm³.

Insulation material absorption rate is closely related to thermal conductivity. In Korea, there is no study on the change of insulation material in a long-term continuous exposure environment. In this study, basic data on the long-term durability of insulation materials were obtained by measuring the absorption rate of insulation materials over time. For the purpose of providing, as a result of the measurement, PIR class2 No.2 and PIR noncombustible show similar absorption rate trends, which is thought to be due to the fact that both are made of rigid urethane foam, and flame retardant EPS has the highest absorption rate except for PF. This is thought to be because there is a space for absorption between the beads and the beads. In the case of XPS, it is thought that the reason for showing the lowest absorption rate is that because it is produced by extrusion, it has a high density and thus has less space for moisture to penetrate.
