  • 본 연구에서는 지오게이지, 동평판재하시험기 그리고 간이지지력시험기 등과 같은 지반강성도를 평가할 수 있는 시험장치와 현장 다짐도 측정에 가장 많이 사용되는 평판재하시험을 다짐횟수, 함수비 그리고 다짐층 두께 등을 변화해 가면서 현장시험을 수행한 결과, 다음과 같은 잠정 결론을 내릴 수 있었다. 1) 지오게이지와 동평판재하시험기 그리고 간이지지력 시험기에서 측정된 결과는 모두 다짐도 증가에 따른 지반 강성 증가 현상을 잘 반영하는 것으로 나타났다. 2) 함수비에 따른 지반강성 증감 현상은 지오게이지와 간이지지력시험 결과에서만 일부 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 동평판재하시험이나 기준 시험인 평판재하시험은 함수비 증감에 따라 지반강성 증감 현상이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않았다. 3) 다짐충 두께 변화에 따른 지반강성도 평가시험 결과 본 시험에서 수행한 지오게이지, 동평판재하시험, 간이지지력 시험은 물론 기준시험인 평판재하시험의 경우에도 일정한 경향이 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않아 이에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구에서는 간편하고 신속한 시험이 가능한 다양한 지반강성평가 시험장치를 이용해 현장에서 다양한 조건의 지반에 대해 다짐도 평가 시험을 수행한 결과, 함수비 및 다짐두께가 일정한 경우 다짐횟수 증가에 따라 모든 시험 결과가 지반강성도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 추후 다양한 지반조건에 대해 다양한 시험을 수행하여 다짐도 및 지반강성도의 연관성에 대한 자료가 축적된다면, 본 시험에서 수행한 시험방법으로도 현장 다짐도 측정이 가능할 것으로 판단된다.

  • Many researchers are interested in the synthesis and characterization of carbon nitride and diamond-like carbon (DLq because they show excellent mechanical properties such as low friction and high wear resistance and excellent electrical properties such as controllable electical resistivity and good field electron emission. We have deposited amorphous carbon nitride (a-C:N) thin films and DLC thin films by shielded arc ion plating (SAIP) and evaluated the structural and tribological properties. The application of appropriate negative bias on substrates is effective to increase the film hardness and wear resistance. This paper reports on the deposition and tribological OLC films in relation to the substrate bias voltage (Vs). films are compared with those of the OLC films. A high purity sintered graphite target was mounted on a cathode as a carbon source. Nitrogen or argon was introduced into a deposition chamber through each mass flow controller. After the initiation of an arc plasma at 60 A and 1 Pa, the target surface was heated and evaporated by the plasma. Carbon atoms and clusters evaporated from the target were ionized partially and reacted with activated nitrogen species, and a carbon nitride film was deposited onto a Si (100) substrate when we used nitrogen as a reactant gas. The surface of the growing film also reacted with activated nitrogen species. Carbon macropartic1es (0.1 -100 maicro-m) evaporated from the target at the same time were not ionized and did not react fully with nitrogen species. These macroparticles interfered with the formation of the carbon nitride film. Therefore we set a shielding plate made of stainless steel between the target and the substrate to trap the macropartic1es. This shielding method is very effective to prepare smooth a-CN films. We, therefore, call this method "shielded arc ion plating (SAIP)". For the deposition of DLC films we used argon instead of nitrogen. Films of about 150 nm in thickness were deposited onto Si substrates. Their structures, chemical compositions and chemical bonding states were analyzed by using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. Hardness of the films was measured with a nanointender interfaced with an atomic force microscope (AFM). A Berkovich-type diamond tip whose radius was less than 100 nm was used for the measurement. A force-displacement curve of each film was measured at a peak load force of 250 maicro-N. Load, hold and unload times for each indentation were 2.5, 0 and 2.5 s, respectively. Hardness of each film was determined from five force-displacement curves. Wear resistance of the films was analyzed as follows. First, each film surface was scanned with the diamond tip at a constant load force of 20 maicro-N. The tip scanning was repeated 30 times in a 1 urn-square region with 512 lines at a scanning rate of 2 um/ s. After this tip-scanning, the film surface was observed in the AFM mode at a constant force of 5 maicro-N with the same Berkovich-type tip. The hardness of a-CN films was less dependent on Vs. The hardness of the film deposited at Vs=O V in a nitrogen plasma was about 10 GPa and almost similar to that of Si. It slightly increased to 12 - 15 GPa when a bias voltage of -100 - -500 V was applied to the substrate with showing its maximum at Vs=-300 V. The film deposited at Vs=O V was least wear resistant which was consistent with its lowest hardness. The biased films became more wear resistant. Particularly the film deposited at Vs=-300 V showed remarkable wear resistance. Its wear depth was too shallow to be measured with AFM. On the other hand, the DLC film, deposited at Vs=-l00 V in an argon plasma, whose hardness was 35 GPa was obviously worn under the same wear test conditions. The a-C:N films show higher wear resistance than DLC films and are useful for wear resistant coatings on various mechanical and electronic parts.nic parts.

  • 신라의 수도인 경주에 서기 760년에 건설된 것으로 알려진 월정교에 대한 복원공사가 최근 완료되었다. 고문헌에 따르면, 월정교는 축조 이후 고려시대인 서기 1280년까지 약 520년 동안 사용된 것으로 보인다. 월정교지에서는 양측 교대와 4개의 교각기초 및 한두단의 교각석이 발견되었다. 발견된 교각기초 중 하나는 상당한 부등침하가 일어난 상태였다. 따라서 월정교의 안전한 복원을 위해서는 부등침하의 원인을 밝히는 것이 매우 중요하다. 이에 본 연구에서는 월정교 복원공사에 앞서, 지층상태 파악을 위한 시추조사, 2차원 지반강성 평가를 위한 표면파시험, 지지력 평가를 위한 대형평판재하시험 등 광범위한 현장조사를 수행하였다. 지반조사 결과를 바탕으로 기초안정성 평가를 위한 3차원 유한요소해석을 실시하였다. 연구결과, 월정교 교각기초의 하부지반은 월정교 복원에 따른 하중에 대해 지지력 및 침하에 충분한 안전율을 가진 것으로 평가되었다. 따라서 교각기초 하부지반에 대한 추가적인 보강은 필요하지 않은 것으로 판단되며, 복원에 앞서 부등침하가 발생한 교각기초 하부에 자갈을 이용한 평탄화 작업은 실시할 필요가 있다.

  • 도로 건설 시에 진동 롤러를 활용한 다짐 과정은 토공에서 토양 강성을 높이는 데 필수적이다. 현재 다짐 작업 시 다짐 롤러의 운용방법에 대한 확실한 기준은 없는 실정이다. 간이 품질 검사 기법들이 개발되어 있지만, 현재 가장 많이 하는 품질검사 방법으로는 평판재하시험(PLT)과 현장밀도시험(FDT) 이 도로 건설 시에 다짐 정도를 평가하는 데 가장 많이 하는 시험법이다. 그러나 두 검사 방법 모두 시간적, 비용적인 이유로 모든 구간에서 품질 검사를 할 수 없어 효율이 떨어져 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 진동 롤러의 운용 조건에 따라 다짐 품질에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석하였다. 모든 구간에서의 품질검사 결과를 취득하기 위해 현재 개발되어 상용화된 기술인 지능형 품질관리 시스템을 활용하였다. 시험 결과 다짐 롤러의 속도와 진동 방향에 따라 다짐도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 분석되었고, 다짐 방향에 따라서는 다짐도에 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.
