  • This research evaluates the change of the water absorbency and drying speed of a quick-drying knit fabric by repeated laundering and laundering conditions and investigates the influence of laundering conditions on the functional properties of the knit fabric. Four factors of laundering conditions were studied: detergent, water hardness, water temperature, and frequency of rotation. Knit fabrics were washed for 25 laundering cycles in a drum-type washing machine with nine different laundering conditions derived from an orthogonal array. The properties of knit fabrics were measured with a drop absorption test, a strip test, and a drying time test. Relaxation shrinkage pointed to a change in the structural characteristics of the knit fabric. Wetting time was faster and wickability was greater in the knit fabrics that underwent 5 laundering cycles; in addition, there were no obvious changes in wetting time and wickability. The detergent was the most important factor in wetting time (40.4%) and wickability (60% or above). Water hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an effect on wetting time and wickability. There were no significant differences between the levels of laundering conditions (except for detergent) on wetting time and wickability. Drying times with neutral and alkali were slower by repeated laundering; however, there was no obvious change in drying time. Hardness, water temperature and RPM had less of an impact on drying time.

  • Durability of strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams with CFRP sheets under wetting and drying cycles of magnesium sulfate attack is investigated in this research. Accordingly, 18 RC beams were designed and made where 10 of them were strengthened by CFRP sheets at their tension side. Magnesium sulfate attack and wetting and drying cycles with water and magnesium sulfate solution were considered as exposure conditions. Finally, flexural performance of the beams was measured before and after 5 months of exposure. Results indicated that the bending capacity of the strengthened RC beams was reduced about 10% after 5 months of immersion in the magnesium sulfate solution. Wetting and drying cycles of magnesium sulfate solution reduced the bending capacity of the strengthened RC beams about 7%. Also, flexural capacity reduction of the strengthened RC beams in water and under wetting and drying cycles of water was negligible.

  • Bentonite is a recommended material for the multiple barriers in the final disposal of low-level radioactive waste (LLW) to prevent groundwater intrusion and nuclear species migration. However, after drying-wetting cycling during the repository construction stage and ion exchange with the concrete barrier in the long-term repository, the bentonite mechanical behaviors, including swelling capacity and hydraulic conductivity, would be further influenced by the groundwater intrusion, resulting in radioactive leakage. To comprehensively examine the factors on the mechanical characteristics of bentonite, this study presented scenarios involving MX-80 and KV-1 bentonites subjected to drying-wetting cycling and accelerated ion migration. The experiments subsequently measured free swelling, swelling pressure, and hydraulic conductivity of bentonites with intrusions of seawater, high pH, and low pH solutions. The results indicated that the solutions caused a reduction in swelling volume and pressure, and an increase in hydraulic conductivity. Specifically, the swelling capability of bentonite with drying-wetting cycling in the seawater decreased significantly by 60%, while hydraulic conductivity increased by more than three times. Therefore, the study suggested minimizing drying-wetting cycling and preventing seawater intrusion, ensuring a long service life of the multiple barriers in the LLW repository.

  • This paper presents the experimental results on the penetration of chloride. ions to ordinary portland cement concrete which is subjected to 2 different artificial environments; consecutive digestion, wetting at $3\%$ NaCl for 1 day and then drying at $40^{\circ}C$ oven for 4 days. The water-cement ratio was $35\%,\;45\%,\;55\%$. Test results showed that the intrusion depth and concentration of chloride ions penetrated into concrete in repeated wetting-drying environments were respectively deeper and higher than those of consecutive digestion environment. The penetration of chloride ions deeply depend on the effect of water to cement ratio.

  • 본 연구에서는 먼저 시멘트를 소량 혼합한 고결모래를 대기중에서 재령 3, 7, 14, 21, 28일로 양생한 다음 재령에 따른 일축압축강도 변화를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 시멘트비가 4, 8%로 비교적 낮은 경우, 7일까지는 강도가 지속적으로 증가하지만 그 이후에는 점차 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 시멘트비가 12, 16%로 상대적으로 높은 경우, 7일까지 계속 증가한 강도는 14, 21일까지 비슷한 강도를 나타내지만 28일 강도는 3일 강도보다도 훨씬 감소하였다. 시멘트로 고결된 흙 특히 모래나 자갈을 혼합한 CSG(cemented sand and gravel) 재료는 투수성이 좋기 때문에 양생기간 동안 내리는 강우나 지하 수위 변화로 습윤 상태와 건조 상태가 반복될 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 일정 기간 양생한 후 현장에서 발생할 수 있는 수침과 건조 상태를 반복하면서 고결모래의 일축압축강도를 평가하였다. 그 결과, 27일 동안 대기중에서 양생한 다음 마지막 1일 동안 수침시킨 공시체의 강도는 28일 동안 수침시키지 않고 대기중에서 양생한 공시체보다 최대 35% 정도 감소하였으며, 강도 저하율은 시멘트비가 증가할수록 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 양생기간 28일 동안 일정한 간격으로 수침과 건조를 반복할 경우 3회 반복까지는 일축압축강도가 선형적으로 증가하지만 그 이후로는 강도 증가율이 둔화되거나 수화작용에 필요한 수분 부족으로 강도가 오히려 감소하였다. 현장에서 소량의 시멘트를 혼합한 흙으로 시공할 경우 양생기간에 따라 충분한 강도 증가를 얻기 위해서는 양생기간 동안 적절한 습윤 상태를 유지해야 하며, 건습으로 인한 강도 변화를 적절히 설계에 반영해야 한다.

  • A rational estimation of moisture distribution in structural concrete is vital for predicting the possible extent and rate of progression of impending degradation processes. The paper proposes a numerical scheme for analysing the evolution of moisture distribution in concrete subjected to wetting-drying exposure caused by intermittent periods of rainfall. The proposed paradigm is based on the stage wise implementation of non-linear finite element (FE) analysis, with each stage representing a distinct phase of a typical wet-dry cycle. The associated boundary conditions have been constituted to realize the influence of various meteorological elements such as rain, wind, relative humidity and temperature on the exposed concrete surface. The reliability of the developed scheme has been demonstrated through its application for the simulation of experimentally recorded moisture profiles reported in published literature. A sensitivity analysis has also been carried out to study the influence of critical material properties on simulated results. The proposed scheme is vital to the service life modelling of concrete structures in tropical climates which largely remain exposed to the action of alternating rains.

  • 본 논문에서는 염소이온의 확산과 이송해석이 가능한 유한요소해석 프로그램을 개발하였으며, 해양 간만대의 건습 반복 조건을 고려하여 염소이온 침투해석을 수행하였다. 염소이온 침투에 영향을 미치는 열과 수분의 전달을 동시에 고려하였으며, 특히 염소이온 이송을 생성항 또는 소멸항으로 처리하여 온도, 상대습도, 염소이온농도를 순차적으로 풀 수 있도록 하였다. 건습 반복 주기를 변수로 한 유한요소해석 결과와 ACI Life-365방법에 의한 침투 프로파일의 비교를 통하여, Life-365 방법은 해중에서의 염소이온 침투에 대해서는 정확한 결과를 주지만 간만대의 해석결과는 건습 주기의 영향을 고려하지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 실제 해양 콘크리트는 다양한 건습 주기의 간만대 환경에 노출되어 있으므로, 정밀한 염소 이온 침투해석을 위해서는 확산-이송 해석을 수행해야 할 것으로 생각된다.

  • 새롭게 구축된 자동 흙-함수특성곡선 시험장치는 측정원리가 간단하고 연속적인 측정이 가능하며, 시험자에 의해 발생될 수 있는 오차를 최소화하여 보다 정확한 불포화토의 흙-함수특성곡선을 산정할 수 있다. 본 시험장치는 압력조절장치, 플로우셀, 물저장소, 공기방울트랩, 저울, 시료준비장치, 측정시스템 등으로 구성되어 있다. 공기의 압력은 0-300 kPa범위까지 적용할 수 있으며, 단기간내 시험을 완료할 수 있다. 본 시험장치에서는 건조과정과 습윤과정을 재현할 수 있으며, 측정 자동화 프로그램(SWRC)을 이용하여 건조과정과 습윤과정에 따른 시료내 함수비 변화를 실시간으로 확인할 수 있다. 본 시험기를 이용하여 상대밀도 75%인 주문진 표준사에 대한 건조 및 습윤과정의 체적함수비에 따른 모관흡수력을 측정하였다. 측정결과, 건조 및 습윤과정을 거치는 동안 동일한 체적함수비에서 대한 모관흡수력 값이 다르게 나타나는 이력현상(hysteresis)이 발생하였다. 측정된 결과를 토대로 기존의 Brooks and Corey, van Genuchten 및 Fredlund and Xing 방법을 이용하여 흙-함수특성곡선을 예측하였다. 결정계수를 이용하여 이들 방법에 대한 정확성을 평가한 결과 대상토질조건의 경우 van Genuchten방법이 신뢰성이 가장 높은 것으로 나타났다.

  • The steady state of unsaturated soil takes a long time to achieve. The soil seepage behaviours and hydraulic properties depend highly on the wetting/drying rate. It is observed that the soil-water characteristic curve (SWCC) is dependent on the wetting/drying rate, which is known as the dynamic effect. The dynamic effect apparently influences the scanning curves and will substantially affect the seepage behavior. However, the previous models commonly ignore the dynamic effect and cannot quantitatively describe the hysteresis scanning loops under dynamic conditions. In this study, a dynamic hysteresis model for SWCC is proposed considering the dynamic change of contact angle and the moving of the contact line. The drying contact angle under dynamic condition is smaller than that under static condition, while the wetting contact angle under dynamic condition is larger than that under static condition. The dynamic contact angle is expressed as a function of the saturation rate according to the Laplace equation. The model is given by a differential equation, in which the slope of the scanning curve is related to the slope of the boundary curve by means of contact angle. Empirical models can simulate the boundary curves. Given the two boundary curves, the scanning curve can be well predicted. In this model, only two parameters are introduced to describe the dynamic effect. They can be easily obtained from the experiment, which facilitates the calibration of the model. The proposed model is verified by the experimental data recorded in the literature and is proved to be more convenient and effective.

  • 본 연구에서는 자동 흙-함수특성곡선 시험장치를 이용하여 새만금지역에서 채취한 준설토의 모관흡수력과 체적함수비를 측정하였다. 측정결과를 토대로 Van Genuchten(1980)의 방법을 이용하여 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)을 산정하였다. 동일한 유효포화도에서 건조과정의 모관흡수력은 습윤과정의 모관흡수력보다 크게 나타났다. Lu and Likos(2006)의 방법을 이용하여 모관흡수력에 따른 흡입응력을 산정하고, 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)의 불포화 관련계수를 토대로 흡입응력특성곡선(SSCC)을 예측하였다. 건조과정의 흡입응력은 유효포화도가 증가함에 따라 증가하다가 감소하지만 습윤과정의 흡입응력은 유효포화도가 증가함에 따라 지속적으로 감소한다. 또한 동일한 유효포화도에서 건조과정의 흡입응력은 습윤과정의 흡입응력보다 크게 나타났다. 한편 van Genuchten(1980)의 방법을 이용하여 투수계수함수(HCF)를 예측하였다. 체적함수비가 증가함에 따라 불포화 투수계수는 증가하며, 동일한 모관흡수력에서 건조과정의 투수계수가 습윤과정의 투수계수보다 크게 나타났다. 흙-함수특성곡선(SWCC)과 흡입응력특성곡선(SSCC)의 산정결과에 의하면 건조 및 습윤과정에서 흡입응력 혹은 모관흡수력에 대한 이력현상이 발생되었다. 이러한 이력현상은 흙입자 사이의 간극수로 인한 잉크병 효과에 의한 것이다.
