This study is for proposing the shape of hollow and evaluating the structural performance of hollow reinforced concrete (RC) half slabs. The two-phase experimental works were carried out, and styrofoam was used for reduction of dead load and vibration. From the Phase I test result, the shape and spacing of the hollow were determined to obtain the high deduction ratio of the concrete and the desirable failure mode of the hollow RC half slabs. In the Phase II test, two slab specimens were tested in flexure to evaluate the flexural capacity of the hollow RC half slabs with the proposed hollow shape. In the result of the test, all the specimens having the proposed hollow shape showed sufficient flexural capacity.

Vibration-controlled concrete has been developed by using various concrete mixtures, such as latex, rubber powders, plastic resins and polystyrene(styrofoam). As part of the recycling research of obsolete aged tires and plastic materials, various vibration-reducing mixtures are used for 10 concrete panels having above 200 kg/cm$^2$ in uniaxial compressive strength. Plywood box with sand uniformly saturated by the raining device has been used for the analysis of the impact wave, of which data have been transfered by the FFT technique to comparatively investigate damping ratios of 10 concrete panels.According to wave propagation analysis on vibration-controlled concrete for this research, it can be concluded that Latex concrete has relatively larger damping ratios than those for noncontrolled normal concrete in a similar compressive strength

스티로폼샌드위치패널은 건식공법의 시공편리성, 경제적인 공사비용, 뛰어난 단열성능으로 공장이나 창고건축물을 중심으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 스티로폼의 여러 가지 장점에도 불구하고 화재에 취약한 단점이 있어 최근 난연성능이 보완된 난연스티로폼패널의 사용이 증가하고 있다. 최근 건축현장에서, 가짜 난연스티로폼패널 사용이 문제되고 있으나 난연성능의 현장 확인에 어려움이 있고 콘칼로리미터 등의 난연성능평가에 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 콘칼로리미터를 통해 난연성능이 확보된 난연 스티로폼패널의 심재와 일반스티로폼패널 심재를 대상으로 근-적외선 분광분석을 수행하여 난연성능의 유무에 따라 상이하게 나타나는 고유스펙트럼 흡수를 측정하였다. 각 제품마다 측정된 고유스펙트럼은 통계처리를 통하여 난연스티로폼의 진위여부를 현장에서 구별할 수 있음을 확인하였으며, 비용효율이 높은 현장평가방법으로의 적용이 가능함을 실험을 통해 입증하였다.

This study investigated the main factors influencing digester temperature and methods to reduce heat losses during the cold season in the subtropics. Four composite digesters (two insulated and two uninsulated) were buried underground to measure their internal temperature ($^{\circ}C$) at a depth of 140 cm and 180 cm, biogas production and methane ($CH_4$) concentration in biogas from August to February. In parallel the temperature of the air (100 cm above ground), in the slurry mixing tank and in the soil (10, 100, 140, and 180 cm depth) was measured by thermocouple. The influent amount was measured daily and the influent chemical composition was measured monthly during the whole experimental period. Seasonal variations in air temperature significantly affected the temperature in the soil, mixing tank and digester. Consequently, biogas production, which is temperature dependent, was influenced by the season. The main factors determining the internal temperature in the digesters were insulation with Styrofoam, air temperature and temperature of slurry in the mixing tank. Biogas production is low due to the cold climate conditions in winter in Northern Vietnam, but the study proved that storing slurry in the mixing tank until its temperature peak at around 14:00 h will increase the temperature in the digester and thus increase potential biogas production. Algorithms are provided linking digester temperature to the temperature of slurry in the mixing tank.

The objective of this study was to compare fecal microbes survival in soil between compost surface application and soil incorporation. The survival experiment was conducted in six styrofoam beds ($510{\times}325{\times}305(mm)$ in size) filled with sandy loam soil. A half of six boxes were received by compost surface application, while the other half were treated with compost-soil mixture. Duplicated surface and surbsurface soil (20 cm depth) samples were collected at various interval up to 50 days and analyzed for the determination of fecal coliforms and E. coli numbers. As expected, surface applied beds demonstrated two to three magnitudes order greater in both the study microorganisms as compared to soil incorporated beds. Microbial inactivation rate of soil surface was twice as great as subsurface soil condition probably due to exposure to sun light and environmental conditions including moisture loss. When rainfall occurred, microbes on the surface were transported into soil along with water movement. It was concluded that surface compost application may be easier to apply but pose higher risk of human exposure to microbes. Winter compost application may be favorable in alleviating health risk by giving some time for inactivation compared to spring application.

The aim of this study is to find out major accumulation zones through field survey and moving route tracking trials on floating debris of Nakdong River. It also identified composition and accumulated amount of the floating debris by sample survey for accumulation zones. As a result, total 5 accumulation zones were selected from the midstream and downstream of the Nakdong River. There was a large amount of floating debris, including vegetation debris, in the accumulation zones. And two accumulation zones located in the downstream region, it is much more likely to flow into the ocean along river. From the sample survey on the major accumulation zones, more than $40{\ell}$ of floating debris were collected including vegetation and artificial debris. As a result of composition analysis for artificial debris, plastic(49%) and styrofoam(36%) were the majority in number. The present study is expected to help to plan an efficient pre-collecting activity and to reduce floating debris flowing into the ocean from the Nakdong River.

This paper proposes an ultra-wideband Log-Periodic Dipole Array(LPDA) antenna for the feeder of a reflector antenna to be used for airborne spinning direction-finding and detecting wideband signals. To obtain the ultra-wideband characteristics over the 20:1 bandwidth from S to Ka band, the radiation elements of the antenna were printed on a substrate and a wedge-typed dielectric supporter with robust structure was inserted between the substrates. Also, the center portion of the supporter was replaced by a styrofoam material to reduce the supporter weight. The 5-dB return loss of the designed LPDA antenna showed ultra-wideband characteristics, which are 37.57:1(1.09~40.95 GHz) in the simulation and 33.85:1(1.31~44.35 GHz) in the measurement. We achieved the required gains of 5.78 dBi in the simulation and 5.76 dBi in the measurement in the operating band. The proposed robust, light-weight, and ultra-wideband LPDA antenna confirmed that it can be applied for airborne applications.

A measurement technique of interfacial velocity in air-water separated flow by particle tracking velocimetry using an infrared camera (IR-PTV) was developed. As infrared light with wavelength in the range of 3-5 um could hardly penetrate water, IR-PTV can selectively visualize only the tracer particles existing in depths less than 20 um underneath the air-water interface. To validate the measurement accuracy of the IR-PTV technique, a measurement of the interfacial velocity of the air-water separated flow using Styrofoam particles floating in water was conducted. The interfacial velocity values obtained with the two different measurement techniques showed good agreement with errors less than 5%. It was found from the experimental results obtained using the developed technique that with increasing air velocity, the interfacial velocity proportionally increases, likely because of the increased interfacial stress.

TTI was applied to monitor the quality changes of fish displayed at a mock store. Chilled fishes were displayed with TTI on a styrofoam box filled with crushed ice. The ice was periodically refilled to maintain the fish freshness. The color of TTI and the qualities of mackerel and Alaska pollack were measured during displaying. VBN and Pseudomonas spp. were used as the quality factors of mackerel and Pollack, respectively. The spoilage time was regarded as when the factors reached their critical levels. The fishes were spoiled when the color of TTI reached an end-point. It was therefore found out that it is possible to predict the fish spoilage by observing the TTI color change.
