Deterioration induced by the freezing and thawing in concrete often leads to the reduction in concrete durability by the cracking or surface spalling. In this paper, the deterioration prediction model for concrete structures subjected to the irregular freeze-thaw was proposed from the results of accelerated laboratory test using the constant temperature condition and acceleration factor from the in-situ weather data.

This study is intended to investigate the resistance of frost damage of concrete for planting, which recycled aggregate is used, by freezing in air and thawing in water. According to the results, if AE agent of 0.005% is mixed in making concrete for planting, it is thought that the resistance of frost damage is guaranteed in winter because concrete for planting is not under severe freezing and thawing function, but under natural weather action.

In cold regions, the integrity of the infrastructures built on weak soils can be extensively damaged by weathering actions due to the cyclic freezing and thawing. This damage can be mitigated by exploiting soil stabilization techniques. Generally, ordinary Portland cement (OPC) is the most commonly used binding material for investigating the chemo-hydromechanical behavior. However, due to the environmental issue of OPC producing a significant amount of carbon dioxide emission, calcium sulfoaluminate (CSA) cement can be used as one of the eco-sustainable alternatives. Although recently several studies have examined the strength development of CSA treated sand, no research has been concerned about CSA cement-stabilized sand affected by cyclic freeze and thaw. This study aims to conduct a comprehensive laboratory work to assess the effect of the cyclic freeze-thaw action on strength and durability of CSA cement-treated sand. For this purpose, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) tests were performed on the stabilized soil specimens cured for 7 and 14 days which are subjected to 0, 1, 3, 5, and 7 freeze-thaw cycles. The test results show that the strength and durability index of the samples decrease with the increase of the freeze-thaw cycles. The loss of the strength and durability considerably decreases for all soil samples subjected to the freeze-thaw cycles. Overall, the use of CSA as a stabilizer for sandy soils would be an eco-friendly option to achieve sufficient strength and durability against the freeze-thaw action in cold regions.

The post-thaw survival of mouse embryos of the various developmental stages was determined after cryopreservation by vitrification in a solution containing ethylene glycol, Ficoll and sucrose (EFS). All the embryos were equilibrated for 2 minutes just prior to freezing. The number of blastomeres during in vitro development was counted by nuclei higher rates of post-thaw survival were obtained from the embryos of 2-cell(92.2%), 8-cell(77.2%) or morula stage(90.0%) than those of blastocyst stage(62.7%). The number of blastomeres per embryo following in vitro culture for 24 hours was significantly(P<0.05) smaller as 66.0f22.3 in vitrified and thawed morulae than fresh morulae(91.7$\pm$12.2).

The effects of superplasticizers on fresh and hardened concrete were investigated. The experimental program included tests on the workability and slump loss, bleeding, setting time, air content, compressive, tensile and flexural strength, permeability, shrinkage, freeze-thaw durability and creep deformation. Properties of superplasticized concrete were compared with those of conventional and base concretes. Superplasticizers were observed to have an appreciable fluidifying action in fresh concrete. They permitted a significant water reduction while maintaining the same workability. Bleeding of superplasticized concrete was much lower than that of conventional concrete of the same consistency. This indicates that the use of superplasticizers did not affect the tendency of segregation of fresh concrete. The compressive, tensile, and flexural strengths of superplasticized concrete were significantly higher than those of conventional concrete. The permeability and drying shrinkage and creep of superplasticized concrete were less than those of conventional concrete, but there were no significant differences between base and superplasticized concrete. Compared with base concrete, non-air-entrained superplasticized concrete had slightly higher freeze-thaw durability. and superplasticized concrete with an appropriate amount of entrained air Eave even better resistance to freezing and thawing.

한랭지역에 건설된 터널은 내 외부의 온도변화에 의해 갱구부 또는 환기구와 같이 특정한 구간에서 외부 온도변화의 영향으로 균열, 누수 등을 비롯한 심각한 결함이 발생할 수 있다. 이러한 동결-융해로 인한 터널의 결함을 방지하기 위해서는 동결 피해가 우려되는 구간에 대해서 적절한 동결 피해 방지 대책을 적용하여야 하지만 동결-융해 조건을 판단하는 구체적인 기준은 제시되어 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 국내 터널의 정밀안전진단 결과를 통해 강원지역의 동결피해 현황을 분석하였으며 향후 한랭지역 터널의 동결피해 저감을 위한 설계 및 유지관리에 활용할 수 있도록 동결-융해 반복일수(F) 조건에 따른 국내 동결피해 가능지역을 분류하고자 한다. 따라서 한랭지역 터널의 동결피해 사례분석과 국내 외 동해환경 평가기준을 바탕으로 콘크리트 시험체의 온도변화에 대한 실내실험을 실시하였으며 실험적 검토결과를 기반으로 시간 및 온도변화에 따른 열류량(W) 분석을 실시하였다. 최종적으로 열류량(W) 분석결과와 국내의 기후특성을 고려하여 동결-융해 반복일(F)에 대한 조건을 제안하였으며, 동절기 동결피해에 대비하여 효율적인 설계 및 유지관리에 활용할 수 있도록 국내 한랭지역을 분류하였다.

겨울철의 낮은 기온으로 인하여 지반 내부의 간극수는 동결과 융해를 반복한다. 지반에 이러한 동결-융해작용이 반복되면 흙의 입자구조 변형이 발생하며 이는 지중 기반시설에 손상을 가져올 수 있다. 본 연구는 흙의 동결-융해 과정에서의 탄성파 속도변화를 통하여 흙의 강성 변화 양상을 알아보기 위하여 수행되었다. 40 %, 60 %, 80 %의 3가지 모래-실트의 무게비를 가진 모래-실트 혼합토를 포화도 40 %, 상대밀도 70 %로 동일하게 조성하였다. 각 시료를 동결-융해를 위해 제작된 사각형 형태의 셀에 다짐법으로 조성하였다. 탄성파를 측정하기 위하여 한 쌍의 벤더 엘리먼트와 피에조 디스크 엘리먼트를 시료 양편에 설치하였으며, 시료의 온도 변화 양상을 관찰하기 위하여 탄성파 트랜스듀서와 같은 깊이의 중앙부에 열전대를 설치였다. 조성한 시료에 대하여 시료를 $20^{\circ}C$에서 $-10^{\circ}C$까지 동결시킨 후 $-20^{\circ}C$를 18시간 동안 유지하였으며, 다시 실험실 상온($20^{\circ}C$)까지 온도를 서서히 올려 융해시켰다. 이 과정에서 온도, 전단파, 그리고 압축파를 측정하였다. 연구결과, 융해 이후의 탄성파 속도는 같은 온도의 동결 이전보다 감소하였다. 이때 전단파의 속도가 압축파의 속도보다 더 큰 비율로 감소하는 모습을 보였다. 실트의 함량이 40 %에서 80 %까지 증가함에 따라 탄성파의 속도는 증가하는 양상을 보였다. 본 연구를 통해 동결-융해가 불포화토의 입자구조를 느슨하게 만들며, 그 영향은 압축파에 비해 전단파 속도의 변화에서 잘 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

전 세계적으로 이상기후 현상의 빈도와 강도는 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 이는 인명과 재산에 직접적인 피해를 줄 수 있으므로 이상기후에 대응하여 적정한 유지관리 전략을 수립하고 실천하는 것이 중요하다. 한파 또는 폭설이 빈번하게 발생하는 한랭지역에 건설되는 시설물의 경우에는 다른 지역에 위치하고 있는 시설물에 비하여 동결-융해에 의한 피해를 많이 받을 수 있으며, 해를 거듭할수록 그 피해 정도는 증가할 가능성이 매우 높다. 그러나 동결-융해의 피해를 정량적으로 확인할 수 있는 명확한 기준과 이에 대한 대응방안은 아직 제시되고 있지 않은 실정이다. 따라서 실내 동결시험 결과를 기반으로 지역별 기후특성을 고려한 동결조건을 -14℃에서 1일, -7℃에서 2일 또는 -5℃에서 3일 지속될 경우로 선정하였으며, 그 결과, 강원지역의 대관령(8.3회), 철원(5.3회), 태백(4.9회)의 순으로 동결-융해 환경에 노출되어 있는 것으로 판단되었다. 이러한 연구결과를 기반으로 도로터널의 동결-융해 평가기준을 새롭게 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 도로터널의 동결-융해 평가기준은 추후 한랭지역 터널의 정량적 평가와 유지관리 전략의 수립 시 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Physical and chemical weathering degrades rock, affecting its structural properties and thus the stability of stone buildings or other structures. Confocal laser scan microscopy (CLSM) is used here to observe temporal changes in the surface roughness of rock samples under simulated accelerated weathering. Samples were pressurized to 50, 55, or 70 MPa using a pressure frame, and subjected to freeze/thaw cycling controlled by a thermostat. The temperature was cycled from -20℃ to 40℃ and back. After each 20 cycles, CLSM was used to assess the change in surface roughness, and roughness factors were calculated to quantify the progression of the surface condition over time. Variations in cross-section line-roughness parameters and surface-roughness parameters were analyzed for specific parts of the sample surfaces at 5× and 50× magnification. The result reveals that the highest and lowest values of the roughness factors are changed according to elapsed time. Freezing/thawing at high pressure caused larger changes in the roughness factor than at low pressure.

The purpose of this study was to compare the efficiency of slow freezing with that of vitrification method for the cryopreservation of human embryos. Human embryos were derived from in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and the mixed solution of propanedial (1.5, 1.0, 0.5M PROH) and sucrose (0.1M), ethylene glycol (7.5, 15%), dimethyl sulfoxide (7.5, 15% DMSO), sucrose (0.5, 1.0M) and SPS (Serum Protein Substitute) was used for a cryoprotectant for slow freezing and vitrification solution, respectively. Rates of recovery after thawing, morphological normality, post-thaw viability, arrest, morphological abnormality and preimplantation development were compared between two protocols. After freezing-thawing, recovery and survial rate of slow freezing was (88.6% and 73.4%), whereas vitrification was (99.2% and 96.2%) (p<0.05). The arrest rate of slow freezing was significantly lower compared with those of vitrification(8.7% vs 29.9%) (p<0.05). Preimplantation development to the 2-cell (83.8% vs 67.7%), 4-cell (69.0% vs 47.2%) and 8-cell (62.4% vs 37.8%) stages 24, 48 and 72 h after thawing, respectively, were higher in the slow freezing than the vitrification. After slow freezing and vitrification of human embryo at 2-8cell stage, the rate of recovery rate, survival rate and partial damage rate were 92.0% vs 100%, 80.4% vs 96.2% and 52.2% vs 19.0%, respectively. And partial damage rate was significantly lower than those of slow freezing method (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that a slow freezing using PROH is more efficient than a vitrification for cryopreserving the human zygotes, although the vitrification yielded better recovery, survival and partial damage of frozen-thawed 2-8 cell stage embryos than slow freezing method.
