This study evaluated the effects of fibers on the mechanical properties and chemical solution resistance of porous concrete with fiber type (jute, pulp, PVA and nylon fiber) and fiber volume fraction (0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%). The tests that were carried out to analysis the properties of porous concrete included compressive strength, void ratio, pH value, and chemical solution exposure with varying type and volume fraction of fiber were conducted. The type and volume fraction of fiber also affected the void ratio, compressive strength, flexural strength and chemical solution exposure. Increased volume fractions of fiber resulted in improved properties of the compressive strength, flexural strength and void ratio. However, the difference between the measured pH value and chemical resistance of porous concrete with fiber type and volume fraction was not significant.

다공성흡음재의 흡음률에 미치는 요소를 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 흡음재의 두께, 밀도, 공기층, 표면처리, 흡음재의 조합 등에 따른 흡음률의 변화를 측정하였다. 공기층을 두고 시공하면 저역.중역에서의 흡음률이 현저히 증가하며, 유공판, 판상흡음재 등과 적절히 조합하면 보다 넓은 범위에서 좋은 흡음률을 갖게 됨을 알 수 있다. 또한 최대흡음률을 갖는 두께가 λ/4로 예상되지만, 흡음재의 구조에 따라 음의 경로의 유효길이가 늘어나 그보다 작은 두께일 것으로 예상된다.

In this paper, the thermal properties of porous concrete containing natural fine aggregates in bottom ash aggregates were analyzed. In this study, natural fine aggregates were used for bottom ash aggregates to understand the material properties of each aggregate and then used as an aggregate for porous concrete. A porous concrete specimen was manufactured by fixing the water-binder ratio at 0.25 and designating the compaction at 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5 MPa. Unit weight, total void ratio and thermal conductivity test were measured and discussed. As the compaction increased and the mixing ratio of natural fine aggregates increased, the unit weight and thermal conductivity increased, and the total void ratio decreased. In addition, the correlations between unit weight, total void ratio and thermal conductivity of porous concrete with previous experimental data were presented and the correlation coefficient (R²) was also analyzed.

The demand for porous asphalt mixtures is increasing because it has a range of functions, such as reducing traffic accidents and traffic noise. On the other hand, its application is delayed due to concerns about durability. This study examined the effects of the maximum aggregate size, temperature, and porosity of an asphalt mixture on the durability. To this end, the durability measure was set to the Cantabro loss rate. Mixtures having the same porosity of 20% and the maximum aggregate diameters of 13 mm, 10 mm, and 8 mm were tested at 20℃ and -20℃. Mixtures containing 20% and 22% voids with the same material having the same diameter were tested. With 20% porosity, there was no significant difference in durability when there was a change in the maximum aggregate size. There was a significant difference between 20℃ and -20℃, but no significant difference in durability when there was a 2% difference between 20% and 22%. The significance of this study is that the durability was presented quantitatively by tests and statistical analysis. This research will help improve the durability of porous asphalt mixtures by evaluating the factors affecting the durability quantitatively.

다공성 물질을 건조하거나 습한 환경에 노출시키면 열과 수분이 외부로 전달된다. 열 및 수분 전달로 인한 은도 및 습도의 변화는 물질 체적을 변화시켜 습열 응력을 유발시킨다 즉 다공성 제품의 품질은 외양뿐만 아니라 건조 공정 시의 온도, 수분함유량, 응력, 변형률 등의 공정변수에 크게 영향을 받는다. 최근까지도 다공성 물질의 생산 공정은 다수의 공정변수를 갖는 복합공정이기 때문에 이들의 영향을 정량적으로 평가하는 것은 매우 까다로워 현장 경험에 기초한 기술자의 노하우에 의존해 왔다.(중략)

The various methods of preparation for the porous hydroxyapatite ceramics using naphthalene, $H_20_2$ and chlorinated paraffine with $H_20_2$ were investigated. And then the prepared orous hydroxyapatite ceramics were characterized by XRD, SEM, FT-IR and the apparent porosity. The pore size of porous hydroxyapatite ceramics was controlled by the content and size of naphthalene granular. It was found that the porosity of it was increased with the amount of naphthalene, but the bending strength was decreased. The application of hydrogen peroxide produced porous materials like a sponge tissue, but the porosity and the shape of sintered body were hardly controlled. In the case of using chlorinated paraffine with the simultaneous addition of hydrogen peroxide, the sponge tissue was obtained and also could be controlled from 50 up to about 65% porosity of it.

In this study, mixing and dilution characteristics of vertical multijet discharged by multiport diffuser into stagnant water are investigated. The results obtained from the experiment of multiport diffuser performed in the three dimensional flume are as follows. As far as merging process of multiport diffuser is concerned, merging starts at about z/l = 3 although merging length is dependent upon stability condition and thereafter lateral temperature distribution becomes gradually uniform which is typical distribution of plane jet. Analyses of experimental data for minimum dilution show that characteristics of minimum dilution are described based on three regions which are jet region where momentum is dominated, intermediate region, and plume region where buoyancy is dominated. Minimum dilution coefficient in plume region of multiport diffuser obtained in this study is 15% higher than that of plane diffuser. This is because individual jet of multiport diffuser entrains more ambient water before merging is occurred, and therefore dilution increases.

The effects of porous wind fence on the pressure characteristics around low-rise building model were investigated experimentally. Flow characteristics of velocities and turbulences behind wind fence were measured using hot-wire anemometer The wind fence characterize by varying the porosity of 0%, 20% and the distances from the wind fence from 1H to 9H with maintaining the uniform flow velocity of 6 m/s. we investigated the overall characterization of the low-rise building by measuring pressure seventy four on model. The effects of porosity fences varied with the porosity of the fence and measurement locations(1H-9H). The 20% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 1H to 3H, but the 40% porosity proved to be effective for the protection area of 4H to 6H.

Porous asphalt pavement (PAP) has many functions, such as reducing accidents and decreasing noise. On the other hand, vulnerability is inevitable because PAP contains approximately 20% porosity. This study evaluated the effects of the maximum aggregate size (MAS), temperature, and porosity on the PAP durability. The indirect tensile strength measures durability. This study tested the samples that stayed dry and were moisturized by freezing and thawing for mixtures having the same porosity of 20% and MAS of 13mm, 10mm, and 8mm. The same test was performed on a mixture of 20% and 22% voids made of the same material with a MAS of 10mm. As a result, for 20% porosity, significant differences in the changes in MAS and temperature were found. A clear difference was observed between 8mm and 13mm under dry conditions, but there were no other significant differences in the MAS change. Furthermore, there was a clear difference in temperature for the change in porosity and temperature, but the gap in 2% porosity at 20% did not show a clear difference. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a more durable PAP through quantitative evaluations of the factors affecting the PAP durability.

In this paper, the applicability of bottom ash to insulation concrete was investigated to increase the utilization of bottom ash. Bottom ash was used as the aggregates in porous concrete and extensive experiments were conducted to investigate the characteristics of porous concrete using two types of bottom ash aggregates. The water-binder ratios of 0.25 and 0.35 were chosen and concrete specimens was produced with the compaction of 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0MPa to analyze the material properties at different compaction conditions. After concrete specimens were cured for 28 days at water tanks, unit weight, total void ratio, and thermal conductivity were measured. Based on the measured experimental results, the relationships between the unit weight, total void ratio, and thermal conductivity of porous concrete containing bottom ash was presented.
