This study was performed to examine engineering properties for planting of porous concrete block containing rice straw ash. Tests for void ratio, compressive and flexural strength, pH by neutralization treatment time and curing method were peformed. As results, the void ratio tends to decrease with increasing rice straw ash content. But, the compressive and flexural strength tends to increase with Increasing rice straw ash content. When the neutralization was treated at the curing age 6 days, the greatest strength was showed. The pH of porous concrete without neutralization treatment in dry and water curing are shown in 10.32 ${\~}$ 10.55 and 9.41${\~}$9.59, respectively. The pH of porous concrete by neutralization treatment in dry and water curing were shown in 9.74${\~}$10.10 and 8.13${\~}$9.32, respectively. The porous concrete block size was 23 ${\times}$ 23 ${\times}$ 4 cm, and species of planting were Tall fescue, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Lespedeza cuneata. At the 6 months after seeding, germination ratio and grown-up length of Tall fescue, Lespedeza cyrtobotrya and Lespedeza cuneata were shown in 90, 60, $50\%$, and 40${\~}$50, 90${\~}$110, 65${\~}$75 cm, respectively. These porous concrete block containing rice straw ash could be used for planting.

In this study, mix proportioning of porous concrete with compressive strength and porosity exceeding 3MPa and 30%, respectively, was examined and then load capacity and flexural toughness of the porous concrete block were evaluated according to the different arrangements of the GFRP bars. To achieve the designed requirements of porous concrete, it can be recommended that water-to-cement ratio and cement-to-coarse aggregate ratio are 25% and 20%, respectively, under the aggregate particle distribution of 15~20mm. The failure mode of porous concrete blocks reinforced with GFRP bars was governed by shear cracks. As a result, very few flexural resistance of the GFRP was expected. However, the enhanced shear strength of porous concrete due to the dowel action of the GFRP bars increased the load capacity and toughness of the blocks. The porous concrete blocks reinforced with one GFRP bar at each compressive and tensile regions had 2.1 times higher load capacity than the companion non-reinforced block and exhibited a high ductile behavior with the ultimate toughness index ($I_{30}$) of 43.4.

The past few decades of industrialization enabled human-centered stream developments, which in turn resulted in constructing straight or covered streams, which are used only for sewage disposal purpose. However, these types of streams have become the cause of flood damages such as localized heavy rain. In response, various construction methods have been implemented to prevent stream and embankment damages. However, regulations regarding these measures only lay out minimum standards such as the height of slopes and the minimum angle of inclination. Moreover, examination of tractive force, the most crucial factor in preventing flood damage, is nonexistent. Therefore, this study evaluates various tractive forces by implementing a porous concrete tetrapod at a full scale artificial stream for experiment, controlling the rate of inflow, and measuring the velocity and depth of the stream under different experiment conditions. The test results of the compressive strength, and porosity and density of rock of the porous concrete tetrapod was between 16.6 and 23.2 MPa, and the actual measurement of air void was 10.1%, thus satisfying domestic standard. The result of tractive force experiment showed a limiting tractive force of $47.202N/m^2$, not satisfying the tractive force scope of $67N/m^2$ the stream design working expertise proposes. However, there was neither damage nor loss of blocks and hardpan. Based on previous researches, it can be expected that there will be resistance against a stronger tractive force. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct another experiment on practical limiting tractive force by adjusting some experimental conditions.

하천 횡단구조물 하류부에서는 고유속 및 ±압력에 의해 하상재료가 유실되는 세굴현상이 발생한다. 이러한 세굴을 방지하기 위해 횡단구조물 하류부에는 석재, 콘크리트 및 콘크리트 블록 등을 설치 및 포설하여 하상보호공을 설치한다. 하상보호공을 설치하면 설치된 부분은 세굴이 방지 되지만, 하상보호공 끝단 이후에는 지반이 노출되어 있어 노출된 지반에서 고유속 흐름 및 압력변화에 의한 세굴이 발생하는 경우가 많다. 이에 본 연구에서는 하상보호공 끝단 즉, 하상이 노출된 지반에서 압력변화에 따라 하상재료가 유실되므로 압력에너지를 감쇄시키기 위한 하상보호장치를 개발하였다. 개발한 하상보호장치는 본래 다수개가 열을 지어 메트릭스 형태로 설치되도록 하여야 하지만 실험 여건상 단일체로 수리실험을 진행하였다. 하상보호장치는 상판과 하판이 조립된 형태이며 상판과 하판 사이에 이격공간이 구비되어있다. 하상보호장치 검증을 위해 상판과 하판에 쓰이는 판은 수로재질과 같은 아크릴로 제작하였으며, 하상재료의 공극률을 반영하여 다공성 판으로 제작하였다. 다공판의 전체 구멍 면적 대비 판 면적은 35 % 로 동일하다. 상판 구멍 지름 15.0 mm, 4.5 mm 2가지로 제작하였으며, 하판 구멍 지름 3.0 mm 으로 동일하다. 압력변화가 큰 곳에서 작은 곳으로 물이 이동하게 되므로 고유속 수리조건에서 상판과 하판 사이에서의 압력변화를 측정하기 위해 판 중간에 압력계를 설치하였다. 하상보호장치 설치지점 앞 0.3 m 부근에 PIV를 설치하여 유속을 측정하였다. 실험결과 상판의 구멍 직경(15.0 mm)이 클 경우 상판부 압력이 하판부로 전달되어 하판에서 측정되는 압력이 증폭 되었으며, 상판의 다공성 구멍 직경(4.5 mm)이 작을 경우 상판부에서 하판부로 전달되는 압력이 감소하여 하판에서 측정되는 압력이 감소하였다. 상판과 하판의 다공성 구멍의 직경을 적절한 사이즈로 조절하면 상판부의 압력이 하판부로 전달되는 것을 막고 압력에 의해 하상에서 흡출되는 유사를 막을 수 있는 것으로 판단되며 추후 상판과 하판의 다공성판 구멍 직경의 상대적 차이에 따른 압력 감소효율에 관한 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

지구온난화에 따른 연안의 해수면 상승은 해안에 가해지는 파랑에너지의 상승을 유발한다. 이러한 해수면의 상승은 상대적으로 수심이 깊어지는 효과를 초래하고 이는 과거 발생하지 않았던 해안지역의 침식 및 해빈에서의 모래를 유실시킨다. 특히, 국내 연안 225개소의 연안 모니터링 결과 142개소인 62%가 침식우려 이상의 등급으로 나타났다. 일반적으로 연안침식에 대응하는 방법은 호안을 쌓아 보호하게 되는 경성공법으로 외력의 변화에 따라 현장여건에 맞는 호안의 경사, 단면형상 및 재료를 선택하게 된다. 하지만 현상에 대한 불충분한 이해에 근거한 공법 적용으로 제반국가에서 다양한 피해가 발생하고 있으며, 이는 공법신뢰도 향상을 위한 기술개발 및 융합기술 도입의 필요성을 보여준다. 본 연구는 파랑저감에 효과적인 다공성 구조물Biocoast를 활용하여 해안침식피해억제를 위한 친환경 투수 바이오 콘크리트 블록을 개발하였다. 특히, 자연해변 및 호안시설에 대해 자연 및 인위적 외력에 의한 침식과 세굴로부터 연안을 보호하고, 블록의 유닛화를 통해 품질관리 및 공정관리의 효율성을 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Rising sea levels along the coast from global warming causes the increase of wave energy along the coast. This rise in sea levels results in relatively deep water levels, which would incur the loss of sand that had not occurred in the past from erosion in coastal areas. Generally, it has been challenging to protect against coastal erosion, and the slope, cross-sectional shape, and materials are selected for the site conditions depending on the change in external forces. However, the application of counter measures based on insufficient understanding of the phenomenon is causing various damage, indicating the need for technological development and converging technologies to improve credibility. In this study, we developed eco-friendly permeable biopolymer concrete blocks to control the coastal erosion by using the Bio-Coast, an effective porous structure that mitigates the destructive erosion caused by the rising sea levels. The hexagonal design of Bio-Coast was derived from the honeycomb, columnar joints, and clover, which are durable and stable structures in nature, and the design was changed to apply bumps on the Bio-Coast filling in the form of a clover to reduce wave overtopping and run-up. Applying the field condition of beaches on the east coast of Korea, the block weight and size were decided and the prototype blocks were manufactured and are ready for field placement. In particular, it is intended to protect coastal areas from destructive erosion by natural and artificial external forces, and to extend the design to river,s lakes, and natural walking trails, to improve the efficiency of quality control and process control through the use of blocks.

This study is aimed to analyze the reduction performance of building energy consumption according to planting base types of panel-type green walls which can be applied to existing buildings. The performance was compared to the general performance of green walls that have demonstrated effects of improving the thermal environment and reducing building energy consumption in urban areas. The number of planting base types was 4 in total, and simulations were conducted to analyze the thermal conductivity, thermal transmittance, and overall building energy consumption rate of each planting base type. The highest thermal conductivity by the planting base type was Case C (0.053W/mK), followed by Case B (0.1W/mK) and Case D (0.17W/mK). According to the results of energy simulation, the most significant reduction of cooling peak load per unit area was Case C (1.19%), followed by Case B (1.14%) and Case D (1.01%) when compared to Case A to which green wall was not applied; and the most significant reduction of heating peak load per unit area was estimated to be Case C (2.38%), followed by Case B (1.82%) and case D (1.50%) when compared to Case A. The amount of yearly cooling and heating energy use per unit area showed 3.04~3.22% of reduction rate. The amount of the 1st energy use showed 5,844 kWh/yr of decrease on average for other types when compared to Case A. The amount of yearly $CO_2$ emission showed 996kg of decrease on average when compared to Case A to which the green wall was not applied. According to the results of energy performance evaluation by planting location, the most efficient energy performance was eastward followed by westward, southward and northward. According to the results of energy performance evaluation by planting location by green wall ratio, it was found that as the ratio of green wall increased, the energy performance displayed better results, showing approx. double reduction rate in energy consumption at 100% of green wall ratio than the reduction rate at 20% to 80% of green wall ratio.
