  • The Hayabusa remote-sensing images of near-Earth asteroid (25143) Itokawa exhibited large diversity in spectral properties. The evidence suggests a various degrees of space weathering on the surface. It is known that the space weathering changes the spectra of S-type asteroids redder and reduces the depths of absorption around $1{\mu}m$. It is therefore possible to determine the surface ages through the investigation of the degree of space weathering. It is, however, reported that the scattered light components severely degrade the Asteroid Multiband Imaging Camera (AMICA) images, especially at the wavelengths > $0.86{\mu}m$. Our team came up with a technique for subtracting the scattered light components (Ishiguro 2014). Here, we upgraded the techniqu e by applying simplex algorism to correct the artifacts for all AMICA bands. This new technique enables to apply for the longest channel (i.e., zs-band at $1.01{\mu}m$) images, which was not studied so far. With the AMICA all bands data, we estimated the surface ages at the different location to be 0.6-2 Myr. Based on this data together with the geological information (e.g. gravitational potentials and local). we will discuss about the evolution of surface materials on the asteroid.

  • An experimental research to evaluate the slip coefficient of high-strength slip-critical-type bolt connection of weathering steel plate has been performed in this paper. Experiments were performed with several surface conditions such as clean mill scale with hand or power brush cleaning, shot blast cleaned, inorganic zinc primer coated, and weather coated surfaces. Also, the relaxation of bolt clamping force was estimated during 500 hours. It was ascertained from the experiments that slip coefficients are greater than 0.40 in all faying surface conditions except mill scale surface with power brushing. The quantify of relaxation depended on the surface conditions and was $3{\sim}8%$, i.e., less than 10%.

  • Recently, new aspects of paints such as a beautiful appearance, use of environmentally friendly paints, etc., in addition to the superior performance of paints have been requested for industrial paints including the paints for heavy construction equipment and others. Particularly, the quality of appearance of coating affects the sales of heavy construction equipment. And the necessity for the paints to have a superior weather-proof property without changing the luster or color even after long-time exposure to the open air is emphasized. The change in the surface color and luster of the paint due to the natural environment progresses very slowly, and it takes a long time to verify material properties when developing new paints. In order to improve such methods, weathering tests are performed in many laboratories as a test for accelerating aging of coating, and the lifetime of the products is estimated through evaluation of the weathering (environment-proof) quality of paints. However, not a great deal of research activity has been conducted up to the present time since the interrelationship between the actual results of testing and field data is different for each paint and it takes a long time to study relevant materials. Therefore, introduced in the present study is the estimation of the change in the quality of appearance of coating in the field through the accelerated aging test among the cases of improvement of the quality of appearance of the urethane paint for heavy construction equipment.

  • The investigation has been made on the rocks consisting the pagoda(12), Buddhist Statues(9) Buldaejwa and cakra(2, rewpectively), stele(5), and Flagpole wupport and stupa(6) which are stood in Weonju city, Weonju-gun, Hwoengseong-gun and Hongcheon-gun, Kangweondo. These rock-monuments range mostly in age from late Shilla Kingdom to middle Korye Kingdom. The geology around this region is mainly composed of Precambrian metamorphic rocks and mesozoic granitic rocks. The granitic rocks are largely divided into Jurassic and cretaceous ones which are slightly different in rock phase. The main rock phase consisting the monumentsare are coarse biotite granite with minor amount of hornblende in Jurassic age. Variation in rock phase is abserved even in part of the stone used in the monuments. Inclusions composed of biotite and hornblende, porphyritic texture with microcline phenocryst, igneous lineation and exfoliation according to weathering are observable in all rocks in these monuments. In the case of stele whose a body and a capstone is remained, one is composed of black slate and the other white limestone. But the turtle shaped pedestal is constituted of coarse biotite granite. These stone-monuments are strongly weathered and exfoliated out about 1∼2mm.In case of exfoliated weathering along igneous lineation, some are taken off about 3∼5mm thick. In some monuments, the degree of weathering is somewhat different according to position, grade of sculpture, and biological activity.

  • It is necessary, in the light of the importance of long-term slope stability problem, to develop a simple method or tool which can figure out the possible failure zone resulted from weathering effect and other factors. The FBG sensor system is used to estimate the correlations between the temperature and the slope in Yunhwajae, and to find a failure zone in slopes effectively. This research is to seek for the correlation between the soil temperature distribution and the strain distribution in a active zone by analyzing the data from the in-situ measurement so that the possible failure zone should be well defined based on the correlation. The zone of high temperature fluctuation can be regarded as one of the possible sliding zone due to the weathering effect while the constant temperature depth of the ground, if exists, would not be relatively affected by the weathering process.

  • Rock properties of the five storied stone pagoda in the Mooryangsa temple are consist mainly in medium grained biotite granite with partly pegmatite veinlet. A part of the foundation stone is substituted in identical rock properties of the pagoda. The upper part of the pagoda is used purples and stone, gray shale and granodiorite. The most serious problem of the pagoda is structual instability from centered subsidence of the ground in northwestern direction remarkably. In southern view, the upper part of the pagoda also is slanted a little in right, it will need reinforcement by engineering method for structual stability of the stone pagoda. Weathering states of the stone pagoda are affected results of natural and artifical factors due to the surface-exfoliation, fine-fissure, crack, falling offs. On the rock surface of the pagoda, ferro-manganese hydroxide compounds are coated along the rainpathway. Also, bryophyte range concentration spreads raindrops face of roof rock properties, which areadd biological weathering effects. For the synthetic evaluation of the deterioration state, we make detailed surface weathering maps, it will be contribute to investigation for future conservation schemes.
