Technologies for rapid concrete curing using elevated temperature are important for saving cost and time when constricting concrete structures. Recently, a microwave heating form was developed. In this study the early strength of concrete cured by the developed form was experimentally investigated. Large scale mock up tests were conducted six times, and the results were analyzed based on the maturity theory. Logarithmic correlation curves were generated based on the measured strength and estimated maturity. It was confirmed that the strength development of the concrete cured by microwave heating form can be estimated by the equivalent age theory usually applied to steam-curing technology. By using the microwave heating form, one day at most is enough to get the required strength for the safe removal of forms, even in cold weather.

Heat wave is a disaster, which increases morbidity and mortality in temperate regions. Climate model results indicate that both intensity and frequency of heat wave in the future will be increased. This study shows the result about relationship between excess mortality and offensive airmass in 7 metropolitan cities, and an operational Heat-Health Warning System (HHWS) in Korea. Using meteorological observations, the Spatial Synoptic Classification (SSC) has been used to classify each summer day from 1982 to 2007 into specific airmass categories for each city. Through the comparative study analysis of the daily airmass type and the corresponding daily mortality rate, Dry Tropical (DT), and Moist Tropical plus (MT+) were identified as the most offensive airmasses with the highest rates of mortality. Therefore, using the multiple linear regression, forecast algorithm was produced to predict the number of the excess deaths that will occur with each occurrence of the DT and MT+ days. Moreover, each excess death forecast algorithm was implemented for the system warning criteria based on the regional acclimatization differences. HHWS will give warnings to the city's residents under offensive weather situations which can lead to deterioration in public health, under the climate change.

In this study, the ultra high strength concrete which have 100, 150, 200MPa took the heat from 20℃ to 70 0℃ and the 0, 20% stress in normal condition's to evaluate stress-strain, residual compressive strength and thermal expansion deformation were evaluated. The heating speed of specimen was 0.77℃/min 20~50℃, 50℃ before the target temperature, and the other interval's heating speed was 1℃/min. As a result, the stress-strain curve of non-load specimen showed the liner behavior at high temperature when the specimen's strength increased more. If ultra high strength concrete got loads, its compressive strength tended to decrease different from the normal strength concrete. The thermal expansion deformation was expanded from a vitrification of quartz over 500℃. however, over the 600℃, it was shrinked because of the dehydration of the combined water.

The effect of particle property on FOD(foreign object damage) and strength degradation in structural ceramics especially, silicon carbide was investigated by accelerating a spherical particle having different material and different size. The damage induced showed significant differences in their patterns with increase of impact velocity. Also percussion cone was formed at the back part of specimen when particle size became large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. The extent of ring cracks was linearly related to particle size, however the impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. Increasing impact velocity the residual strength showed different degradation behaviors according to particle and its size. In the region the impact site represents nearly elastic deformation behavior, the residual strength was dependent upon the depth of cone crack regardless of particle size. However in elastic- plastic deformation region, the radial cracks led to rapid drop in residual strength.

The heat resistance of steel materials tends to weaken due to its high heat transfer properties, which might result in deteriorated strength because of rapidly rising temperature on surface in a fire. Particularly in case of CFT column that bears tensile stress of the structure on its external steel members, a numerical analysis on deterioration of strength and variation of stress shall be first carried out to ensure the structure will have sufficient fire resistance. In the study, based on values obtained from the high temperature material property test of steel materials and concrete, the test to forecast the fire behavior of CFT column was conducted using a finite element analysis method (ABAQUS). An Analysis in a bid to predict the heat transfer and the behavior characteristics by varying the strength of the concrete filled to the range of 40MPA and 50MPA was carried out. As a result of analysis of CFT column on condition of 180-minute exposure under the standard fire condition, 123mm of strain appeared with 40MPA model, while 91mm contraction with 50MPA model.

This study evaluated the mechanical performance, shrinkage crack and fire resistance of hybrid fiber (blended steel and polypropylene fiber with different diameter and length) reinforced concrete at elevated temperature. The compressive, splitting tensile, flexural, plastic shrinkage test were conducted to the evaluate the mechanical properties and the resistance of shrinkage crack. Also, the surface investigation, reduction rate of mass and residual compressive test were performed to evaluate the physical and mechanical properties after 400$^{\circ}C$, 600$^{\circ}C$, 800$^{\circ}C$ and 1,200$^{\circ}C$ exposure. Test results showed that the hybrid fiber reinforced concrete improved the mechanical performance, shrinkage crack and fire resistance. The reduction of performance with a temperature change were high at the temperature of $600\sim800^{\circ}C$.

A fire outbreak in a reinforcement concrete structure looses the organism by the different contraction and expansion of hardened cement pastes and aggregate, and causes cracks by thermal stress, leading to the deterioration of the durability. So concrete reinforcement structure is damaged partial or whole structure system. Therefore diagnosis of deterioration is needed based on mechanism of fire deterioration in general concrete structures. Fundamental information and data on the properties of concrete exposed to high temperature are necessary for accurate diagnosis of deterioration. In this study, it was presented data for the accurate diagnosis and selection of repair and reinforcement system for the deteriorated concrete heated highly, various concrete such as standard design compressive strength, fine aggregate and admixture were exposed to a high temperature environment. And fundamental data were measured engineering properties such as explosive spatting, ultrasonic pulse velocity and compressive strength.

스템핑용 냉연강판의 기계적 성질은 온도에 따라 변하므로 금형재의 열적 특성은 성형의 성공여부에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 재질선정에 있어 중요한 인자의 하나이다. 금형재질이 성형에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 차체의 패널용으로 사용되는 강판에 대하여 상온 및 고온에서의 인장시험을 하였으며 구상흑연주철과 회주철을 중심으로 열특성을 조사하였다. 연신율과 인장 강도의 온도 의존성에 대한 검토와 함께 금형재료에 따른 열전달 특성을 분석하여 열특성 측면에서는 회주철이 구상흑연 주철보다 더 적합 하며 열전도율이나 비열 등의 열특성치도 금형재 선정에 중요한 인자중 하나라는 결론을 얻었다.

나노복합재료는 기계적, 전기적, 전자기적 특성을 향상하거나 새로운 기능을 갖는 신소재를 제조할 수 있는 가능성으로 인하여 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 우수한 특성을 갖는 나노복합재료의 제조에 있어서 주의할 점은, 나노복합재료가 다른 세라믹재료에 비하여 제조공정에 민감하게 영향을 받는다는 것이다. 출발원료, 혼합방법, 건조방법 등의 선택에 따라서 특성이 향상될 수도 있고 역으로 저하될 수도 있다. 이러한 현상은, 초미립자의 비표면적이 크기 때문에 균일한 분산이 어렵고 응집이 발생하기 쉽기 때문이라 생각된다. $Si_3N_4/SiC$ 나노복합재료의 경우는 고온강도와 열피로에 대한 저항성이 획기적으로 향상되어 $1400^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 사용할 수 있는 초고온재료로로서의 가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 이러한 나노복합재료의 실용화를 위해서는 제조공정이 단순하고, 경제성이 있는 신 공정의 개발과 GPS 소결 등에 관하여 보다 많은 연구가 필요하다. 그러나 계속적인 환경오염에 관한 국제적 규제의 강화, 국제 원유가의 상승 등은 열기관의 열효율 향상을 위해서 초고온에서 사용할 수 있는 나노복합재료와 같은 재료를 요구할 것이며, 또한 정보통신산업 발전에 따른 소형화, 고 기능화는 우수한 특성과 새로운 기능을 갖는 나노복합재료의 개발과 실용화를 앞당기는 계기가 될 것으로 생각된다.

알루미나는 높은 온도에서 열적으로 안정되고 경도가 높으며 내화학, 내마모 특성이 우수하며 또한 강도대비 비중이 낮아 무게를 줄일 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 특성으로 인하여 우주항공, 국방, 원자력등 극한의 온도를 견뎌야 하는 고도의 신뢰성이 요구되는 고온구 조물로서 응용이 되고 있다. 특히 알루미나를 휘스커 형태로 만들어 세라믹 복합체에 결합 할 경우 복합체의 기지 내에서 강화재의 역할을 함으로써 취성 파괴를 억제하고 열 전도율 저하등의 이점을 가져올 수 있다. 그리하여 본 연구에서는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장을 위하여 Al-triisoproxide계를 이용하여 화학기상증착법으로 가장 안정된 열적 특성을 가지고 온도의 변화에 따라 상 변화가 일어 나지 않는 알파 알루미나 상을 가지는 알루미나 휘스커를 성장시키기 위한 연구를 하였다. 또한 증착 온도, 압력, 입력기체비등 증착 조건을 변화시켜가면서 알파 알루미나 휘스커의 성장 거동을 살펴 보았다. 증착 조건 변화에 따라 알파 알루미나는 막이 증착되는 부분과 휘스커가 성장되는 부분이 있으며 휘스커의 밀집도와 길이방향, 직경방향 성장등 여러 가지 성장 특성을 달리하였다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 증착조건에 따른 알파 알루미나 휘스커 성장영역을 도식화하였다.
