Concrete parking slab is often deteriorated severely after winter season because of concrete's freezing and thawing phenomenon. In this study, some methods to improve resistance against freezing-thawing is experimentally tested.: 1) concrete strength, 2) air content in concrete, 3) saw-cut effect and finish material. After experiment, in case of no finishes, 24MPa concrete with 4% air content is tested best result in terms of relative elastics modulus among testes ones. In case of concrete with finishes, all specimens are improved regardless of finishes compared to concrete with no finishes. Improvement degree compared to no finish is as follows : Polyurea > Resin-mortar > hardener and the number of improvement degree is 5, 4, 2% respectively. Further work is required considering construction site condition such as gaining water on surface and remicon in order to reflect site condition.

This paper suggests how to improve the fatigue strength of an axle shaft, which is the vulnerable part of an axle shaft system for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle. The axle shaft is composed of a universal joint with a spider and yoke, yoke shaft, and so on. Structural analysis of the initial axle shaft was conducted to select the exact area for structural strength fatigue improvement, and as a result, the inner/outer yoke shaft and spider were selected. Four cases considered design variables, such as length and thickness, to verify the enhanced durability of the axle shaft, and fatigue analysis was conducted. Finally, we suggest that the axle shaft system satisfied the working conditions for a 3.5-ton commercial vehicle.

The reinforcement concrete work is the work affected by structural safety, durability, and schedule with form work. The domestic reinforcement concrete works have mainly worked the process of re-barfabrication/assembly on site. Finally it have low productivity. Then this paper analyzed waste factors and the process of re-bar fabrication/assembly on site for the productivity improvement and value-added productivity improvement. Waste factor analysis aims at maximizing value-added by the value analysis of re-bar fabrication and assembly on site. Finally, Value-AddingActivity(VAA)ismuchlessthan non-value adding activity. Especially, Non-Value-Adding Activity(NVAA) generates waste such as the activity steps, labors, equipments, materials, time, and soon. And it was non-flow production, over production, and analyzed into having to shift value. This paper aimsat maximizing value-addingactivity and minimizingnon value-addingactivity through waste factor analysis in process for the improvement of value added productivity.

Dewatering mold form get many holes on the surface to drain excessive water from combine concrete. While fiber is adhered to the forms inter surface, that makes it possible to improve concrete workability by draining excess water through the holes. We can expect the outer layer to solidify and to compact and get improvement of concretes durability. Maybe, it is valuable enough that dewatering mold form is put to practical use. On this study, the purpose is to obtain fundamental data for effective dewatering mold and properties of exposed concrete with the form, and ultimately, is to propose practical theory.

Generally, it is known that urethane injection is excellent in long-term durability and environment friendly for ground improvement. However, urethane grouting has short rise time thus the penetration distance from the injection point is so short. Therefore, urethane injection cannot be used for the site where requires ground improvement in deep location from the injection point. Other injection materials such as cement cannot be alternatives when rapid hardening is required. From this study, we improve disadvantage urethane injection by developing TAS method. From the field tests, it is ascertained that TAS increases injection distance over 10m, which is further than that of original urethane grouting. In addition, TAS has relatively short Rise-time compared to cement grouting thus instantaneous improvement can be mobilized right after the injection. Short Rise-time and long penetration distance provide excellent applicability for tunnel construction.

In recent domestic automotive industry, applications of computer simulation to the manufacturing of stamping dies for inner and outer body panels which greatly affect durability and aesthetic quality of automobiles, have been increased. Enhancement of die quality, and reduction of total die manufacturing time and consequently manufacturing cost are the visible outcome. However, to successfully apply the result of simulation by a commercial package to the die manufacturing, development of an optimal die manufacturing process is required upon the completion of analysis of forte and shortcomings of available sheet metal forming softwares in the market. Based on the results of numerical analysis of front door outer panel forming, this paper evaluates the applicability of simulation results to the real die making for automotive body panels. Also, it attempts to select an optimal die manufacturing process including design, machining and tryout. Lastly, it discusses the expected effects by adopting the selected process in a real stamping die manufacturing facility.

Fast-grown wood generally contains a high proportion of juvenile wood that results in inferior dimensional stability and durability against biological deteriorations. In the present research, the Acacia mangium wood from plantation forests in Vietnam was treated with high temperature in air. The effects of heat treatment on physical properties of Acacia mangium wood, including mass loss (ML), water absorption (WA), water-repellent effectiveness (WRE) and anti-swelling efficiency (ASE) were examined. The results showed that the dimensional stability and the water-repellent effectiveness are increased by about 15-46% and 8-18%, respectively. However, the mass and dimension of wood are decreased. The results also indicated that both treatment temperature and treatment duration significantly affect the wood properties of Acacia mangium. It is thus concluded that heat treatment demonstrates an interesting potential to improve the wood quality of Acacia mangium for solid timber products. This technology provides an environmentally safe method of protecting sustainable common woods to give a new generation of value-added biomaterials with increased stability without the use of toxic chemicals.

The present study deals with the development of metakaolin-based geopolymer concrete (GPC) and thereafter studying the effects of adding ultra-fine slag on its mechanical and permeability characteristics. The mechanical characteristics including compressive, split tensile, flexural strengths and elastic modulus were studied. In addition, permeability characteristics including water absorption, porosity, sorptivity and chloride permeability were studied up to 90 days. The results showed the effective utilization of metakaolin for the development of elevated temperature cured geopolymer concrete having high 3-day compressive strength of 42.6 MPa. The addition of ultra-fine slag up to 15%, as partial replacement of metakaolin resulted in an increase in strength characteristics. Similar improvement in durability properties was also observed with the inclusion of ultra-fine slag up to 15%. Beyond this optimum content of 15%, further increase in ultra-fine slag content affected the mechanical as well as permeability parameters in a negative way. In addition, the relationship between various properties of GPC was also derived.

In this study, the effects of the number of coat and immersion period on strength properties, waterproofness and chemical resistance of painted and immersed cement mortars using two admixture were examined. Test results showed that the flexural and the compressive strengths of the coated and immersed cement mortars increase with increasing number of coat and immersion period. The water absorption of the coated and immersed cement mortars tended to decrease with increasing number of coated and immersion period. In the case of the change of weight and the immersion period for the solutions, a decreasing tendency was shown as the immersion period increases regardless of solution, with a little variation.
