PURPOSES: As pavement generally provides service shorter than an expected life cycle, maintenance cost increases gradually. In order to help extending the service life and reduce maintenance cost, a new multi-functional composite pavement system is being developed in Korea. METHODS: This study is a part to develop the multi-functional composite pavement and is to investigate the mechanical performances of fiber-reinforced lean concrete for pavement subbase. The inherent problem of fiber reinforced concrete is dispersion of fibers in concrete mix. This study additionally evaluated fiber dispersion characteristics with respect to different fiber types. RESULTS: From the test results, the compressive strengths of the concretes satisfied the required limit of 5MPa at 7days. The standard deviation of the measured number of fibers were lower in the order of nylon, steel fiber and polypropylene. CONCLUSIONS: Reject ash was shown to be satisfactory as a replacement material to Portland cement in lean concrete base. The fiber volume fraction is suggested to be 0.4% even though the fracture toughness did not vary significantly with respect to fiber types. However, fracture energy absorbed up to complete failure increased with the increased fiber volume fraction increment.

It is very important to utilize effectively fibrous waste paper in terms of cost savings, environmental effects, and governmental policies. The quality of final products and runnability of papermaking process are primarily affected by constitutions of fibrous raw materials. In specific, board grade paper depends directly on compositions of waste paper bales. At present, the raw materials of board grade paper are mainly derived from lots kinds of wastepaper. Some papermaking countries, like EU, USA and Japan have advanced classification and management systems of recycled fiber, but Korea has not yet organized systematically. In this study, evaluation of wastepaper bale compositions and their fiber properties were carried out for effective utilization of fibrous raw materials for board grade paper production. 3 kinds of wastepaper bales were classified to fibrous or non-fibrous materials. In case of fibrous materials, KOCC, kraft sack paper and white duplex board matters were main component in total weight basis, and in case of non-fibrous materials, vinyl, plastic and cloth matters were main component, in turns. 3 representative kinds of waste paper were disintegrated and classified, and then prepared to handsheet for evaluation of recycled fiber property. Consequently, fines and ash content of waste paper, isolated from KOCC and white duplex board were higher than that of kraft sack paper. pH values of all kinds of waste fibers were neutral or weak alkaline.

This study deals with shotcrete reinforcing performance according to the amount of synthetic fiber (PP fiber) and proper evaluation method. The shotcrete compressive strength, flexural strength and flexural toughness were tested by setting the mixing amounts of steel fiber ($37.0kg/m^3$) and synthetic fiber (PP fiber) as parameters ($5.0kg/m^3$, $7.0kg/m^3$ and $9.0kg/m^3$). Particularly, circular panel flexural toughness test (Road and Traffic Authority, RTA) was performed to evaluate the shotcrete energy absorption capacity. As a result, the compressive strength and the bending strength of the steel fiber reinforced shotcrete were large, but the flexural toughness of the synthetic fibe (PP fiber) reinforced shotcrete was large. Therefore, synthetic fiber (PP fiber) reinforced shotcrete is considered to have a reinforcing effect comparable to that of steel fiber reinforced shotcrete. Analysis of the relationship between the flexural toughness and the energy absorption capacity of synthetic fiber (PP fiber) reinforced shotcrete revealed that the energy absorbing ability is exhibited at a flexural toughness lower than the allowable standard (3.0 MPa). (Class A: 2.55 MPa = 202J, Class B: 2.72 MPa = 282J, Class C: 3.07 MPa = 403J). As a result of this study, it can be concluded that the actual shotcrete support performance can be evaluated by evaluating the support performance of the shotcrete measured at less than the allowable standard (3.0 MPa) at the actual tunnel site.

This paper reports the experimental and analytical investigations for evaluating the flexural strength of a RC slab strengthened with carbon fiber sheet (CFS). The evaluation of the ultimate flexural strength of a slab is tried under the assumption that the failure occurs when the shear stress mobilized at the interface between the concrete bottom and the glued CFS reaches its bond strength. The shear stress is evaluated theoretically and the bond strength is obtained by a laboratory test. The ultimate flexural strength is obtained by flexural static test of the slab specimen, which corresponds to the part of a real slab. From the results, the new approach based on the bond strength between concrete and CFS looks feasible to evaluate the flexural strength of the CFS and RC composite slab.

The design of injection molded prlymeric parts has been done empirically, since it requires profound knowledge about the moldability and causal effects on the properties of the parts. This study shows CAE approach for the design of the seat frame of fiber-reinforced composite material in order to realize the concept os rationsl design for the productivity and quality of mold making. The knowledge-based CAE system is constructed by adding the knowledge-basw module for the design evaluation and appropriate CAE programs for mold design analysis in order to provied designers, at the initial design stage, with comprehensive process knowledge for the performance analysis and the design evaluation. A knowledge-based CAE system is a new tool which enables the concurrent design with integrated and balanced design decisions at the initial design stage of injection molding.

Fiber composite materials are widely used in aerospace industries due to their high specific strength and stiffness. Especially, the increasing use of polymer composite materials for injection of automobile components has led to a considerable interest in the application of stress pattern analysis by thermal emission to these composite materials. Therefore, in this study the microstructure of glass fiber orientation at the parent and weld line of polycarbonate is observed by a light transmission. And we also investigate a stress concentration model of a notch including short glass fibers. Especially the polymer injection weld reorients the fiber to suggest a new method for the evaluation of inhomogeneous deformation.

Accurate evaluation of polarization characteristics in the integrated optic chip (IOC) for interferometric fiber optic gyroscope was performed. Spatial distribution of optical wavetrains caused by the polarization parameters such as local polarization cross-coupling and polarization rejection coefficient of the IOC were measured utilizing the path-matched optical coherence domain polarimetry (PM-OCDP). With the analytic model deduced from Jones matrix representation, we could accurately identify the polarization characteristics of the IOC. Both degree of measurement error due to the imperfect equipment conditions in PM-OCDP and birefringence of IOC chip were also characterized.

In this study, surface performance evaluation was conducted according to the fiber and surface finishing technique of the exterior material using Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC), whitch is spotlighted as a highly durable exterior material. As a result of outdoor exposure, the initial performance of the UHPC Panel using organic fibers was maintained without being affected by the surface finishing technique. In the specimen using steel fiber, the surface performance was maintained when the water repellent treatment was performed in the plain specimen, but fiber corrosion occurred in the specimen to which the surface finishing technique was applied.

Current Perception Threshold (CPT) using Neurometer($Neurometer^{(R)}$ CPT/C) is thought as one of easy and noninvasive QST(qunatitative sensory testing) tools for A${\beta}$, A${\delta}$ and C fibers within a relatively short time. However, conflicts about its reliability still exist. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of CPTs evaluation and find a way to increase its reliability. Two examiners separately tested CPTs at each side of the mandibluar nerve areas for ten healthy male adults (average age of 22.4 years) three times with an intervals of a week during three weeks. Mean CPTs were compared between the right and left sides of the mandibular nerve area and between the three examinations on the each side. While CPTs at 2000 Hz(A${\beta}$ fiber) showed statistically significant side differences in all three examinations (p<0.05), significant side difference was found in only one examination at 250 Hz(A${\delta}$ fiber) and no difference at 5 Hz(C fiber). Comparing CPTs on the each side of the mandibular nerve area, all examinations at all sensory nerve fibers showed the least CPTs at the 1st examinations. CPTs at 250 Hz(A${\delta}$ fiber) and 5 Hz(C fiber) were significantly different between the first and the following examinations (p<0.05) and there was no significant difference between 2nd and 3rd examinations. The results of this study indicated that CPTs at 250 Hz(A${\delta}$ fiber) and 5 Hz(C fiber) are reliable but CPTs at 2000 Hz(A${\beta}$ fiber) is not appropriate for evaluation of side differences in the mandibular nerve area. In addition, it is suggested that repeated examination be helpful to increase reliability of the CPT evaluation.
