Hardened cement paste is mainly affected by corrosion of sulphate and chlorine ions in sea water. In this investigation, many specimens were made with the cement clinker minerals such as C3S, C3A, C4AF and their mixture according to cement composition added various blending materials. After the specimens were immersed in 4% MgSO4 and MgCl2 solutions, the product of reaction, the microstructure of specimen and Ca+2 ion leached in the solution were studied. The formation of Ca(OH)2 in the specimen of C3S is reduced relatively by adding pozzolanic admixtures. The chlorine ion is easily diffuse into the C3S specimen and produced CaCl2 compound, and it makes the specimen porous by leaching out itself into the solution. The specimen of C3A, C4AF are broken down by expanding reaction of ettringite and gypsum compound produced in the MgSO4 solution. At a later period, the ettringite is transformed into gypsum and 5MgO.2Al2O3·15H2O. The C3A in the MgCl2 solution combines chlorine ion to form Friedel's salt and prevents the diffusion reaction of chlorine ion into the specimen. Granulated slag shows inferior effect on the resistance of the specimen in MgSO4 solution by forming ettringite and gypsum, but good result in MgCl2 solution. Pozzolanic materials, on the whole, offer noticable effect on the resistance of the specimen in both solutions.

서울 및 서울 인근 주민들의 식수 공급을 위하여 1978년에 건설된 매설 상수배관은 전기방식 조처없이 콜탈에나벨만으로 피복된채 지하철 및 각종 전기설비가 복잡하게 산재된 서울지역에서 근 20년 유지되고 있다. 따라서 이 배관에 대한 부식 상태를 파악하는 것이 배관의 안전성 확보 및 대책수립, 배관수명의 연장, 중단없는 상수공급 동의 차원에서 매우 중요하다. 이 조사의 목적은 건설후 20년이 경과하여 노후된 매설 상수배관에 대한 기본적인 부식환경 및 피복 상태를 조사하여, 부식상태를 진단하고 향후 대책을 세우기 위한 기초 자료를 확보하는 것이다. 조사의 대상은 1978년에 건설된 서울지역 매설 상수배관 103 Km이었으며, 주요 조사 내용은 토양의 pH, 토양비저항과 같은 기초적인 부식환경조사, 전 배관에 대한 부식전위측정, 부식환경 조사로부터 판정된 부식 우려구간을 대상으로 피복손상부 탐측 및 시험굴착, 그리고 상기 조사의 결과를 검토하는 것이다. 조사 결과, 기본적인 부식환경 변수로 예상되던 토양의 전기비저항, 습도, pH는 부 식전위 및 토양종류와 상관관계를 보이지 않았으며, 상수배관 주변의 토양비저항은 대부분 8,000 ~ 10,000 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$, 토양 pH는 대부분 5와 6사이에 집중되었다. 전체적으로 볼 때 매설 상수배관은 예상보다 양호한 배관 상태를 유지하고 있다고 판단되나, 일부 간섭구간은 방식보완이 필요한 것으로 조사되었다. 즉 일부 간섭에 의한 미방식 지역은 배류기나 희생양극 설치와 같은 조속한 방식보완 조치가 필요하며, 과방식이 우려되는 곳은 강제배류기의 출력을 크게 낮추는 것이 필요하다. 이때 부식전위가 크게 올라가는 지점이 있으면 부근 가까운 지하철 레일과 선택배류기로 연결하는 것이 바람직하다.

Groundwater causing subsidence in limestone mines is uncommon, and thus relatively poorly investigated. This case study investigated the cause and possibility of future subsidence through an evaluation of ground stability at the Samsung limestone mine, Chungcheongbuk-do. The ground near the mine area was evaluated as unstable due to rainfall permeation, and subsidence in the unmined area resulted from groundwater level drawdown. Future subsidence might occur through the diffusion of subsidence resulting from the small thickness of the mined rock roof, fracture rock joints, and poor ground conditions around the mine. In addition, the risk of additional subsidence by limestone sinkage in corrosion cavities, groundwater level drawdown due to artificial pumping, and rainfall permeation in the limestone zone necessitates reinforcements and other preventative measures.

RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures are considered as cost-benefit and durable however performances of structural safety and durability are degraded due to steel corrosion. Service life in RC structure is differently evaluated due to different local environmental conditions even if it is exposed to the same chloride attack. In the paper, 25 concrete cores from field investigation are obtained from 4 RC columns with duration of 3.5~4.5 years exposed to sea water. Through total chloride content measurement, surface chloride contents and apparent diffusion coefficients are evaluated. Service life of the target structure is estimated through deterministic method based on Fick's $2^{nd}$ Law and probabilistic method based on durability failure probability, respectively. Probability method is evaluated to be more conservative and relatively decreased service life is evaluated in tidal zone and splash zone over 40.0 m. Chloride penetration behavior with coring location from sea level and the present limitations of durability design method are investigated in the paper.

Marine concrete structure is exposed to salt injury and deteriorated by steel corrosion due to chloride ions diffusion. It, therefore, is very important to estimate the chloride diffusivity in concrete. In this paper the compressive strength and permeable pore volume of concrete are measured and the diffusion coefficient and penetration depth of chloride ions in concrete were investigated to estimate the chloride diffusivity efficiently. To correlate these results each other, regression analysis was done. The results showed a good linear relation between chloride diffusivity and the fundamental properties of concrete and the chloride diffusivity of concrete with water-cement ratios of $40%{\sim}60%$ were about $2.5{\sim}6.6{\times}10^{-12}m^2/s$.

This study aims to provide fundamental data for further shape-factor research on karst by measuring and classifying the shape of surface topography in Hogye, Mungyeong. First, in the research area, there are 35 dolines and uvalas. Second, large uvalas are found in three places, including Gulnomjae in Bugokri, and Teotgol and Denjimigol in Urori. Third, there are 13 round dolines and 22 oval dolines. Next examining the cross section of dolines, there are 27 bowl shaped dolines, 2 plate shaped dolines, and 6 funnel shaped dolines. Fourth, most dolines lay over 200m elevation, which is ridge and top of mountain. Fifth, development direction of dolines resembles the strike direction of limestone in Hogye, suggesting that the development direction of limestone affects doline corrosion. From this situation, we can guess sinkholes of the doline would be linked with limestone caves by the underground water pipe. Three limestone caves, karren and dry valley etc. appear in the research area.

An etchant capable of forming a circuit in an FTO film that can replace ITO, which depends on full imports, was prepared. The etching solution is composed of 1 to 30% by weight of fluoride, 1 to 20% by weight of acid, 0.5 to 5% by weight of surfactant, 5 to 20% by weight of solvent, 0.5 to 10% by weight of corrosion inhibitor and the balance of water. This etchant can be etched using a dry film, thereby reducing the cost, and is free from bubbles and residue of the etchant. The characteristics of the etchant were etched in a time of 2 minute with a 100 nm thick FTO, and the etchant temperature was maintained at $50^{\circ}C$. An undercut of -0.00364% was obtained when put into a 2 minute etching solution. No harmful substances such as Cd, Pb, Hg and Cr components were measured. The use of FTO in Korea where rare earths do not exist can achieve localization and import substitution effect.

Electrical failures and reliability problems of electronic components by ionic migration between adjacent device terminals have become an issue in automotive electronics. Especially unlike galvanic corrosion, ionic migration is occurred at high temperature and high humidity under applied electric field condition. Until now, although extensive studies of the ionic migrations dealing with PCBs, electrodes, and solders were reported, there is no study on the effect of insulation polymers and metallic fillers for ionic migration. In this research, therefore, ionic migration induced by the types and contents of polymers and metallic fillers, and variety conditions of temperature, humidity, and applied voltage was studied in detail. Ester and amide types of liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and poly (phthalamide) (PPA) were used as base polymers, respectively and compounded with the metallic fillers of Copper iodide (CuI), Zinc stearate (Zn-st), or Calcium stearate (Ca-st) in various compositions. The compounding polymers were fabricated in IPC-B-24 of SIR test coupon according to ISO 9455-17 with Cu electrodes for ionic migration test. While there is no change in LCP-based samples, ionic migration in PPA compounding sample with a high water absorption property was accelerated in the presence of 0.25 wt% or above of CuI at the environmental conditions of 85℃, 85% RH and 48V. The dendritic short-circuit growth of Cu caused by ionic migration between the electrodes on the surface of compounded polymers was systematically observed and analyzed by using optical microscopy and SEM (EDX).

PEM (proton exchange membrane) fuel cells generate only water as a by-product, and thus are in the spotlight as an eco-friendly energy source. Among the various components composing the stack of the fuel cell, research on the bipolar plate that determines the efficiency of the fuel cell is being actively conducted. The composite bipolar plate has high strength, rigidity and corrosion resistance, but has the disadvantage of having a relatively low electrical conductivity. In this study, to overcome these shortcomings, a gas diffusion layer (GDL)-composite bipolar plate assembly was developed and its performance was experimentally verified. The graphite foil coating method developed in the previous study was applied to reduce the contact resistance between the bipolar plate and the GDL. In addition, in order to improve electron path in the stack and minimize the contact resistance between the GDL and the bipolar plate, a GDL-bipolar plate assembly was fabricated using a thin metal foil. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the developed GDL-bipolar plate assembly had 98% lower electrical resistance compared to the conventional composite bipolar plate.

Currently, there are many discussions about composite materials and 3D printed composite material to weight reduction of ships. A test was conducted to confirm the applicability of the 3D printed composite material to ships and offshore structures by linking the 3D printing technology with excellent productivity and the composite material with corrosion resistance and lightweight characteristics in salt water environments. In order to apply the 3D printed composite material used in this paper to ships and offshore structures, the temperature environmental effects that can be exposed in the marine environment should be considered. Therefore, the tensile test was conducted with specimen of Carbon + Onyx, Carbon + Nylon, HSHT glass + Onyx, HSHT glass + Nylon material in low temperature (-50℃), room temperature (20℃), and high temperature (50℃) environments that can be exposed to the marine environment. As a result of the tensile test, the carbon + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strength and the HSHT glass + onyx specimen showed the highest tensile strain. In addition, by analyzing the tested specimens, the failure mode of the 3D printed composite material specimens exposed to various temperature environments was analyzed.
