Dewatering sludge using inorganic chemicals with polymer has been evaded for reuse on account of the risks of high heavy metals contained and soil acidification. Composting feasibility of coagulation & dewatering sludges produced from livestock waste treatment plant was investigated. The results of analysis prove that dewatering sludge is valuable matter with suitable elements for composting if high quality ferric chloride ($FeCl_3$) is used for coagulation & dewatering process. In pot-cultivation of harvestes, using effects of dewatering sludge improved with lime treatment was very effective. The results of pot-cultivation proved that harms of crops according to different acid tolerances were not detected. But it was not applied to crops with weak acid tolerance or greenhouse for free from gas damage. Also, Further studies and monitorings are necessary to use sludges because results of pot-cultivation were generated differently by characteristics of soil, nutrient demand of plants, mature degree of sludge, consecutive cultivation and etc.

The novelty in the present search, the Soda-Lime-Silica (SLS) glass waste to prepare free lead glass shielding was used in order to limit the accumulation of glass waste, which requires extensive time to decompose. This also saves on the consumption of pure SiO₂, which is a finite resource. Furthermore, the combining of BaO with Bi₂O₃ into a glass network leads to increased optical properties and improved attenuation. The UV-Visible Spectrophotometer was used to investigate the optical properties and the radiation shielding properties were reported for current glass samples utilizing the PhysX/PDS online software. The optical property results indicate that when BaO content increases in glass structure, the Urbach energy ΔE, and refractive index n increases while the energy optical band gap E_opt decreases. The result of the metallisation criteria (M) revealed that the present glass samples are nonmetallic (insulators). Furthermore, the radiation shielding parameter findings suggest that when BaO was increased in the glass structure, the linear attenuation coefficient and effective atomic number (Z_eff) rose. But the half-value layer HVL declined as the BaO concentration grew. According to the research, the glass samples are non-toxic, transparent to visible light, and efficient radiation shielding materials. The Ba5 sample is considered the best among all the samples due to its higher attenuation value and lower HVL and MFP values, which make it a suitable candidate as transparent glass shield shielding.

전자부품용 Pb-free sealing frit의 열팽창계수를 기판에 matching 시키기 위하여 음의 열팽창계수를 가지고 있는 $\beta$-Eucryptite, $\beta$-Spodumene를 합성하여 filler로 첨가하였다. 합성된 filler는 저온소성용 유리프리트의 높은 열팽창계수를 조절하기 용이하고, 유리프리트와 복합화 하여 소성하면 낮은 열팽창계수로 인한 우수한 열충격 저항성을 갖는다. Filler로써 $\beta$-Eucryptite, $\beta$-Spodumene의 결정성을 향상시키기 위해 $1250^{\circ}C$에서 5 시간 동안 유지하는 합성공정을 3회 반복 진행한 후 XRD를 사용하여 결정성을 분석하였고, TMA를 이용하여 filler 첨가량에 따른 유리프리트의 열팽장계수의 변화를 측정하였다. 또한, filler 입도와 함량에 따른 melting 특성을 분석하기 위해 Pill test를 진행하였으며, soda-lime glass 기판과의 접합면을 SEM을 사용하여 관찰하였다.

Test-bricks were prepared from an artifically graded Ham Kang sand and a commercial CaO and autoclaved for 6 hours at $16 kg/cm^2$ pressure $(203^{\circ}C)$. Bricks were tested for compressive strength, free lime, saluble silica and amount of water absorption. Physical properties of bricks were very much depended on the size distribution of sand particle and the amount of soluble silica in bricks.

Expansive soil is the most predominant geologic hazard which shows a large amount of shrinkage and swelling with changes in their moisture content. This study investigates the macro-mechanical and micro-structural behaviours of dredged natural expansive clay from coal mining treated with ordinary Portland cement or hydrated lime addition. The stabilised expansive soil aims for possible reuse as pavement materials. Mechanical testing determined geotechnical engineering properties, including free swelling potential, California bearing ratio, unconfined compressive strength, resilient modulus, and shear wave velocity. The microstructures of treated soils are observed by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, and energy dispersive spectroscopy to understand the behaviour of the expansive clay blended with cement and lime. Test results confirmed that cement and lime are effective agents for improving the swelling behaviour and other engineering properties of natural expansive clay. In general, chemical treatments reduce the swelling and increase the strength and modulus of expansive clay, subjected to chemical content and curing time. Scanning electron microscopy analysis can observe the increase in formation of particle clusters with curing period, and x-ray diffraction patterns display hydration and pozzolanic products from chemical particles. The correlations of mechanical properties and microstructures for chemical stabilised expansive clay are recommended.

Cement paste, mortar or concrete specimens, substituting the content of Portland cement with fly ash up to 50 wt%, were prepared to investigate the effect of fly ash on the temperature, free lime content and strength etc. of mortar/concrete. Being compared with the concrete made of ordinary Portland cement, temperature increment of the concrete containing 50 wt% fly ash reduced, according to appropriate conversion formulae, to about 45％ at the 7 days curing time: the temperature increment of the former amounted to 33.4$^{\circ}C$, while that of the latter only to 18.7$^{\circ}C$. On the other hand, it is better to control the content of fly ash in the cement that is used for reinforced concrete not to exceed 30 wt％. In this study, more than 28 days curing time is necessary in order that the strength of concrete made of fly ash cement will be higher than that of pure Portland cement. In addition, 28-days concrete strength higher than 360 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ could be easily achieved even with 50 wt% fly ash cement.

Steel slag (divided into electric arc furnace slag and convener slag) is being produced by millions of tons per every year in many industrial countries. About 6.5 million tonnes of steel slag is produced yearly as an industrial by-product in Korea. Generally natural aggregate is relatively stable and does not enter into complex chemical reactions with water. Unfortunately, however. steel slag aggregate contains a small amount of free lime. The hydration of free lime makes steel slag aggregate unstable and liable to expand. In this paper, firstly, several aging methods are used in order to decrease the volume expansion of electric arc furnace slag, that is stabilization. The volume expansion of electric arc furnace slag is formulated from the experiment. From the formula, the residual expansibility is predicted with immersion expansion. Compressive strength of concrete with electric arc furnace slag has relation with the residual expansibility in slag aggregate.

ZnO thin films were deposited on a Si wafer and a soda lime glass using atomic layer deposition(ALD). The substrate temperature were between $130^{\circ}C{\sim}150^{\circ}C$. The deposition rate of the ZnO film was measured to be $2.72{\AA}$ per cycle. The films were analyzed using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM), X-ray diffractometer(XRD), and Auger electron spectroscopy(AES). Impurity-free ZnO thin films were obtained and the crystallinity was found to be dependant upon the substrate temperature.

This paper introduces a relation to determine the span ratio between exterior and interior spans, which is strongly required in the preliminary design stage of bridges constructed by Free Cantilever Method (FCM). A relation for the initial tendon force is derived on the basis of an assumption that no vertical deflection occurs at the far end of a cantilever beam due to the balanced condition between the self-weight and the cantilever tendons. In advance, the span ratio can be determined by using an assumption that the negative maximum moment must be the same with the positive maximum moment along the entire spans to be a rational bridge design. Finally, many rigorous lime-dependent analyses are conducted to establish the validity of the introduced relations. The obtained numerical results show that the rational design of FCM bridges may be achieved when the span length ratio of the exterior span to the interior span ranges about 0.75 to 0.8.

This study was carried out to investigate in influence of inoculation B. sp. and lime types on nutrient content of peanut seed, and the correlation between nutritient contents in seed and plant. 1. Inoculated B. sp., content of crude protein, phenylalanine, isoleucine, cystine, histidine, aspartic acid, serine, and alanine in seed were increased significantly, but that of crude fat was decreased. 2. The content of crude fat was the highest without lime, glutamic acid was the highest with calcium sulfate, valine, phenylalanine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, aspartic acid, serine, glycine and alanine with slaked lime, and histidine with calcium carbonate. 3. The content of crude protein in seed was negatively correlated with that of crude fat. The contents of chlorophyll, allantoin, ammonia, free amino acid, T-N, $P_2O_5$, and CaO in leaf at 100 days after sowing were positively correlated with the content of crude protein and various kinds of amino acid in seed, but negatively with the content of crude fat. The content of nitrate in leaf at 100 days after sowing showed the result of contrary tendency.
