To study the structure of opposite wood in the angiosperms. samples were cut from stems and branchs of 10 spcies growing in Korea. The opposite side was defined as being along a line passing from the most wide annual ring of the tension wood on the upper side to the pith and extrapolated through the opposite side. lateral sides being on the right and left of this line. The stem woods growing almost horizontally were surveyed the structural features of the well-developed opposite wood for the tension wood. In the annual-ring of the well-developed opposite woods. an investigation was made on how the dimension of elements, microfibril angles. and cell wall layers change from tension side to opposite side. The structural characteristics of opposite wood in hardwoods realized in this study are as follows: 1. The vessel diameters increased continuously to ward the opposite side in which the values were maximum. The vessel length also increased toward opposite side. but the rates of increase were smaller than those in the vessel diameters. 2. The wood fiber length were decreased from tension toward opposite side. but the rates of decrement were f1actuated within the sampled species. 3. The microfibril angles had the minimum values on the tension side. then increased steeply toward the opposite side in which the values maximum. 4. In the percentage of elements the vessel elements increased continously at a relative rate from the tension to opposite side, whereas the values of the wood fibers were lower in the opposite than the tension side, but the' variation patterns of rays were not seem distinctly. 5. The component layers of the wood fiber in the opposite woods were very similar to the lateral woods.

건축물에서 사용되는 에너지를 줄이기 위하여 다양한 연구 및 정책이 진행되고 있으나 건축물에서 구조재 및 실내 외 마감재로 폭넓게 사용되는 목재의 열적 특성에 관한 연구는 미미한 실정이다. 이에 따라, 본 연구는 목질재료와 비 목질재료의 전열성능을 분석하기 위하여 목질재료가 주로 이용되는 주거용 건축물을 대상으로 열성능이 취약한(열교 발생) 부위를 선정하고, 각 부위별로 구조재와 마감재의 구성에 따라 총 16 Case에 대해 전열성능 분석을 실시하였다. 전열 해석 시뮬레이션 도구는 ISO 10211의 계산 방법을 따르는 Physibel Trisco를 이용하였다. 해석 부위의 모델링 역시 ISO 10211에서 제시된 기준에 의해 실시하였으며, 경계 온도 조건은 에너지절약설계기준에 따라 실내온도 $20^{\circ}C$, 실외온도 $-11.3^{\circ}C$(서울 기준)로 설정하였다. 구조는 콘크리트구조와 비 목질재료마감, 콘크리트구조와 목질재료마감 그리고 목구조에 목질재료마감의 경우에 따라 구분하였다. 부위는 벽체, 지붕, 층간바닥 및 최하층 바닥 등으로 구분하여 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 결과로서, 콘크리트구조의 경우 형상적 원인에 의해, 목구조의 경우 형상적인 원인에 재료적 원인이 더해져 다발적으로 열교가 발생함을 확인할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 콘크리트구조에서는 단열재의 불연속 부위에서 구조적인 열교가 발생하고 목구조에서는 구조적인 열교와 이질재료의 적용 부위에서 재료적 원인에 의한 열교가 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 콘크리트 구조에 목질 실내마감재를 적용하였을 경우에는 벽체의 선형 열관류율 값이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 유한요소해석을 이용하여 응력적층 바닥판의 구조성능을 평가하였다. 바닥판의 구조성능은 처짐과 응력, 압체력의 변화로 평가할 수 있다. 하중 재하 후 바닥판의 처짐 형상을 확인한 결과 하나의 판처럼 거동하는 것을 확인하였다. 이는 압체력에 의해 각 부재 사이에 마찰력이 작용했기 때문이다. 또한 초기 압체력과 산출된 압체력을 비교한 결과 바닥판의 처짐과 함께 압체력이 감소했다. 이는 하중에 의해 바닥판의 변형이 발생하면서 작용하는 힘이 줄어듦에 따라 압체력이 감소한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 재료의 소성 특성이 제대로 반영되지 않았기 때문에 잔류응력과 잔류변형이 고려되지 않았으므로 추후 이에 대한 연구가 필요하다.

Wood filler is a porous and anisotropic material having different size, shape, and aspect ratio. The use of wood fillers such as wood particle, wood flour, and wood pulp in wood plastic composites (WPCs) are growing rapidly because these wood fillers give improved strength and stiffness to WPCs. However, the wood fillers have originally poor compatibility with plastic matrix affecting the mechanical properties of WPCs. Therefore, to improve compatibility between wood and plastic, numbers of physical and chemical treatments were investigated. While the various treatments led to improved performances in WPC industries using petroleum-based plastics, full biodegradation is still issues due to increased environmental concerns. Hence, bio-based plastics such as polylactide and polyhydroxybutyrate having biodegradable characteristics are being applied to WPCs, but relatively expensive prices of existing bio-based plastics prevent further uses. As conventional processing methods, extrusion, injection, and compression moldings have been used in WPC industries, but to apply WPCs to engineered or structural places, new processing methods should be developed. As one system, co-extrusion technique was introduced to WPCs and the co-extruded WPCs having core-shell structures make the extended applications of WPCs possible.

Text mining techniques provide valuable insights into research information across various fields. In this study, text mining was used to identify research trends in wood science from 2012 to 2022, with a focus on representative journals published in Korea and Japan. Abstracts from Journal of the Korean Wood Science and Technology (JKWST, 785 articles) and Journal of Wood Science (JWS, 812 articles) obtained from the SCOPUS database were analyzed in terms of the word frequency (specifically, term frequency-inverse document frequency) and co-occurrence network analysis. Both journals showed a significant occurrence of words related to the physical and mechanical properties of wood. Furthermore, words related to wood species native to each country and their respective timber industries frequently appeared in both journals. CLT was a common keyword in engineering wood materials in Korea and Japan. In addition, the keywords "MDF," "MUF," and "GFRP" were ranked in the top 50 in Korea. Research on wood anatomy was inferred to be more active in Japan than in Korea. Co-occurrence network analysis showed that words related to the physical and structural characteristics of wood were organically related to wood materials.

Probability based design(PBD) method is independent of construction materials and uses real material properties unlike allowable stress design(ASD) that depends on small clear specimen property, also give quantitative safety and endurance lifetime of a certain material. Moreover, almost advanced country accepted PBD method instead of ASD method. So it is urgent to convert the current ASD method into the PBD method. However, there are wholly lacking of domestic researches related to current issue, and to solve several points in ASD method and to take advantage of PBD method, the conversion from the ASD method into the PBD method is a worldwide trend. Other domestic construction codes, such as steel or concrete constructions, accept the PBD method as well. Accordingly, to introduce PBD method into wood structural design, general theory, and preliminary data and methods were reviewed. With keeping this in mind, some important contents were reviewed, sorted some points for wood structural design that have distinctions against the other construction materials. Furthermore, the history of PBD method, and statistical data and theories for the PBD method, and preliminary data of resistance and load that are two random variables for the PBD method, and finally the difference between limit state design(LSD) and load and resistance factor design(LRFD) that were two superpowers in the PBD method.

The use of polyphenol extracts from radiata pine (Pinus radiata) bark as raw materials for bio-foams was investigated along with the optimal NaOH extraction conditions. The targeted yield of alkaline extracts was 60%, and the targeted pH was 11 to 12. The radiata pine bark was composed of 70% of a 1% NaOH extract, which contained mainly polyphenols, such as proanthocyanidin (PA). As the particle size of the bark decreased, the yield of the 1% NaOH extracts increased from 57 to 87%. A range of NaOH concentrations, liquor ratios, and extraction times were explored to establish an economic polyphenol extraction method. More than 60% of the alkaline extract was extracted, and the pH of the extract was approximately 12 when the optimum extraction conditions were employed, i.e., a liquor to bark ratio of 5:1, a NaOH dosage of 17 to 18% based on the bark weight, and a 1 h extraction time. Following neutralization of the alkaline extract, structural analysis indicated severe structural changes in the PA during the alkaline extraction. Because the alkaline extract was barely soluble in the solvent used for the structural analyses, it is assumed that chemical modification is required to increase the solubility of the alkaline extract for the production of bio-foams.

The conversion characteristics of the major components of Liriodendron tulipifera were investigated during acid-catalyzed organosolv pretreatment. Glucan in L. tulipifera was slowly hydrolyzed, whereas xylan was rapidly hydrolyzed. Simultaneous hydrolysis and degradation of xylan and lignin occurred; however, after complete hydrolysis of xylan at higher temperatures, lignin remained and was not completely degraded or solubilized. These conversion characteristics influence the structural properties of glucan in L. tulipifera. Critical hydrolysis of the crystalline regions in glucan occurred along with rapid hydrolysis of the amorphous regions in xylan and lignin. Breakdown of internal lignin and xylan bonds, along with solubilization of lignin, causes destruction of the lignin-carbohydrate complex. Over a temperature of 160℃, the lignin that remained was coalesced, migrated, and re-deposited on the surface of pretreated solid residue, resulting in a drastic increase in the number and content of lignin droplets. From the results, the characteristic conversions of each constituent and the changes in the structural properties in L. tulipifera effectively improved enzymatic hydrolysis in the range of 140℃-150℃. Therefore, it can be concluded that significant changes in the biomass recalcitrance of L. tulipifera occurred during organosolv pretreatment.
