Chloride ingress implies a complex interaction between physical and chemical process, in which heat, moisture and chloride ions transport through concrete cover. Meanwhile, reinforced concrete structure itself undergoes evolution due to variation in temperature, relative humidity and creep effects, which can potentially change the deformation and trigger some micro-cracks in concrete. In addition, all of these process show time-dependent performance with complex interaction between structures and environments. In the present work, a time-dependent behavior of chloride transport in reinforced concrete beam subjected to flexural load is proposed based on the well-known section fiber model. The strain state varies because of stress redistribution caused by the interaction between environment and structure, mainly dominated by thermal stresses and shrinkage stress and creep. Finally, in order to clear the influence of strain state on the chloride diffusivity, experiment test were carried out and a power function used to describe this influence is proposed.

Purpose: The compression strength of corrugated fiberboard containers used to package agricultural products rapidly decreases owing to various environmental factors encountered during the distribution of unitized products. The main factors affecting compression strength are moisture absorption, long-term top load, and fatigue caused by shock and vibration during transport. This study characterized the durability of corrugated fiberboard containers for packaging fruits and vegetables under simulated transportation conditions. Methods: Compression tests were done after corrugated fiberboard containers containing fruit were vibrated by an electro-dynamic vibration test system using the power spectral density of routes typically traveled to transport fruits and vegetables in South Korea. Results: To predict loss of compression strength owing to vibration fatigue, a multiple nonlinear regression equation ($r^2=0.9217$, $RMSE=0.6347$) was developed using three independent variables of initial container compression strength, namely top stacked weight, loading weight, and vibration time. To test the applicability of our model, we compared our experimental results with those obtained during a road test in which peaches were transported in corrugated containers. Conclusions: The comparison revealed a highly significant ($p{\leq}0.05$) relationship between the experimental and road-test results.

The purpose of this study is to investigate water and after vapor transport characteristics of underwear fabrics. Experimental materials were cotton woven fabric and cotton knitted fabric, nylon tricot (untreated and hydrophilic finished) and cotton/polyester/cotton triple layer. Cotton knitted fabric have three types of knit structure (interlock, rib, plain stitch) and knit with either 38's or 60's combed yarn. And cotton woven fabric have plain weave with 60's combed yarn. As experimental methods, vapor cup test, dynamic method, vertical wicking test and transplanar uptake test were used. The results are as follows. 1) In cotton specimens, the order of water vapor transpiration (wvt) was plain > rib > interlock in the same yarn diameter. The knit fabric of thinner yarn showed the better wvt among the same knit structure. 2) In cotton specimens, the order of water absorbency was interlock > rib > plain in the same yarn diameter. the knit fabric of thicker yarn showed the better absorbency among the same knit structure. 3) When knit fabric (60's plain) is compared with woven fabric 960's plain), knit fabric showed faster rate of wvt, more amount of uptake and slower rate of water uptake than woven fabric did. 4) When compared untreated nylon with hydrophilic finished nylon, hydrophilic finished nylon showed much more water absorbency than untreated nylon did, but showed same rate of wvt. 5) The water transport characteristics of triple layer underwear fabric showed that the thinner and the lighter one, the better wvt and absorbency did.

The uranium ore residues from the legacies of past uranium mining and milling activities that resulted from the less stringent environmental standards along with the uranium residues from the existing nuclear power plants continue to be a cause of concern as the final uranium residues are not made safe from radiological and general safety point of view. The deposition of uranium in ponds increases the risk of groundwater getting contaminated as these residues essentially leach through the upper unsaturated geological formation. In this context, a numerical model has been developed in order to forecast the $^{238}U$ and its progenies concentration in an unsaturated soil. The developed numerical model is implemented in a hypothetical uranium tailing pond consisting of sandy soil and silty soil types. The numerical results show that the $^{238}U$ and its progenies are migrating up to the depth of 90 m and 800 m after 10 y in silty and sandy soil, respectively. Essentially, silt may reduce the risk of contamination in the groundwater for longer time span and at the deeper depths. In general, a coupled effect of sorption and hydro-geological parameters (soil type, moisture context and hydraulic conductivity) decides the resultant uranium transport in subsurface environment.

Organic solar cells (OSCs) with low cost have been studied to apply on flexible substrate by solution process in low temperature [1]. In previous researches, conventional organic solar cell was composed of metal oxide anode, buffer layer such as PEDOT:PSS, photoactive layer, and metal cathode with low work function. In this structure, indium tin oxide (ITO) and Al was generally used as metal oxide anode and metal cathode, respectively. However, they showed poor reliability, because PEDOT:PSS was sensitive to moisture and air, and the low work function metal cathode was easily oxidized to air, resulting in decreased efficiency in half per day [2]. Inverted organic solar cells (IOSCs) using high work function metal and buffer layer replacing the PEDOT:PSS have focused as a solution in conventional organic solar cell. On the contrary to conventional OSCs, ZnO and TiO2 are required to be used as a buffer layer, since the ITO in IOSC is used as cathode to collect electrons and block holes. The ZnO is expected to be excellent electron transport layer (ETL), because the ZnO has the advantages of high electron mobility, stability in air, easy fabrication at room temperature, and UV absorption. In this study, the IOSCs based on poly [N-900-hepta-decanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(40,70-di-2-thienyl-20,10,30-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT) : [6,6]-phenyl C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC70BM) were fabricated with the ZnO electron-transport layer and MoO3 hole-transport layer. Thickness of the ZnO for electron-transport layer was controlled by rotation speed in spin-coating. The PCDTBT and PC70BM were mixed with a ratio of 1:2 as an active layer. As a result, the highest efficiency of 2.53% was achieved.

화재와 같은 고온 환경에서 고강도화 된 콘크리트는 폭렬(Explosive Spalling)이 발생할 가능성이 있으며, 이러한 폭렬의 원인으로는 콘크리트 내부의 수증기압이 가장 큰 원인으로 제기되고 있다. 본 논문은 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 함수율이 초기 폭렬특성에 미치는 영향을 실험적으로 규명하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 실험변수는 양생방법, 압축강도, 함수율로 설정하였으며, KS F 2257 화재온도이력곡선을 15분, 30분 적용하여 콘크리트의 초기 폭렬특성을 실험적으로 검토하였다. 그 결과 압축강도 함수율이 증가할수록 폭렬발생이 증대되는 경향이 나타났으며, 초기 15분 이내에서 대부분의 폭렬이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 압축강도 및 함수율에 따른 폭렬발생영역을 분석하였으며, 압축강도 50~100MPa의 경우 함수율 3% 이하, 100MPa 이상의 경우는 1% 이하로 제어할 경우 폭렬현상이 발생하지 않을 것으로 판단되었다. 공극구조에 대한 분석 결과 고강도화 될수록 공극이 세공화됨으로써 탈수현상이 지연되었으며, 이러한 원인으로 인한 수분의 위상변화에 따른 폭렬압 증가는 고강도콘크리트의 심각한 폭렬에 대한 원인중 하나가 될 것으로 판단되었다.

물의 순환의 복잡한 기작을 이해하는 데 수증기동위원소는 중요한 단서를 제공할 수 있으며 지구과학의 다양한 영역(고기후학, 수리지질학, 대기학, 해양학 및 생태학)에 적용될 수 있다. 수분의 전지구적 또는 지역적 이동에 대한 연구는 물의 순환 및 대기에서의 에너지이동을 좀 더 잘 이해하는 데 도움을 줄 것이다. 본 연구에서는 해안근처에서의 수분의 이동을 파악하기 위해서 태풍 볼라벤이 한반도를 통과하는 기간동안(2012년 8월 27일부터 8월 29일까지) 수증기의 안정동위원소를 극지연구소에 설치된 동위원소분석기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 수분동위원소의 두 동위원소의 선형관계식($D=7.8x^{18}O+10.1$)으로부터 해양 기원의 수증기가 증발에 의해 이동되어 측정되었음을 알 수 있었다. 날씨가 맑을 때는 해양으로부터 증발되어 다른 물리적인 변동없이 직접 이동된 수증기의 동위원소 조성(산소동위원소, ${\delta}^{18}O$=-14‰)을 보여 주었으며, 태풍이 통과하면서 수분동위원소의 값은 10‰ 정도 낮은 값을 보였다. 태풍의 통과로 인해 상대습도는 증가하였으며 수분동위원소값은 감소하는 소위 "우량효과(amount effect)"를 보여주었다.

A series of laboratory tests was performed with soil-columns which were compacted with sands and different amount of silt collected from the mid-stream of Gumgang, Korea. A known degree of concentration of PCP(Pentachlorophenol) was poured into the soil-columns and concentration of PCP was monitored and analyzed with time and depth. The results of the study are summarized as follows : 1. PCP was transported into soil along with the movement of moisture under gravitational force. The amount of PCP transported through soil or absorbed by soil varied with soil types. 2. The great amount of PCP was remained at 4~8cm section for the specimen No.2 and at 0~4cm section for the specimen Nos. 3 and 4. Based upon this result it is said that the amount of silt between 30 and 40% may be a threshold value for PCP transported through soil. 3. The amount of PCP remained in the specimen Nos. 2, 3 and 4 is greater than that in the specimen No.1 due to high specific surface of silt and high attraction force between PCP and silt particles in the specimen Nos. 2, 3 and 4. 4. It is said that groundwater under highly permeable soil layer such as specimen No.1 is easily polluted by PCP. That is because the PCP is basically migrated with water under the gravitational force.
