As global warming has had harmful effects on the environment, the construction industry has made efforts to reduce the amount of $CO_2$ generated in the process of cement production. There is an urgent need for an alternative material that can replace cement. To improve the initial strength and economical efficiency pointed out as problems, this research was conducted for Blast Furnace Slag (BFS), an industrial byproduct. Non-sintering cement (NSC) was used by minimizing the amount of high-priced alkali activators. By using Nano-technology, fineness has been maximized, to enhance the initial strength of BFS. This research is based on non-sintered cement replaced by nano-slag using alkali activators, and the fundamental properties and quality of the non-sintered cement were investigated. A variety of activators were used, up to 10 percent of the slag weight. This research aims to present fundamental data through a comparative analysis of flexural strength, compressive strength, time of setting, diabetic temperature, and rising heat.

Nowadays in Korea, KS F 2271(Testing method for incombustibility of internal finish material and element of buildings) has been using for the evaluation of fire safety performance of sandwich panels. The test method in Japan and in Korea was based on the same way. When the Japanese standard building code was revised in 2000, the test method in the ISO 5660-1 was adopted for the test method for combustion performance of internal finishing materials and elements of buildings. According to this, the revision version of draft substituting the test method in the KS F 2271 for one in the ISO 5660-1(Cone Calorimeter method) is informed in Korea. In this study, combustion properties of sandwich panels were tested using the cone calorimeter method. Ignition time, peak heat release rate and total heat released of four sandwich panels and four core materials (thermal insulation material), which are widely used in Korea, were tested. Test results were analyzed for each specimen. Finally, test results were classified by Japanese standard building code and Canadian NBC revised.

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.

Polyurethane foam (PUF) can be manufactured in soft, semi-rigid, and hard forms, so it is used in various fields industrially. Among them, rigid PUF has excellent mechanical properties and low thermal conductivity, and is used as a thermal insulation material for buildings and as a cold insulation material in the natural gas transportation field. In this field, there is a steady demand on higher mechanical strength and lower thermal conductivity. In this study, a rigid PUF was manufactured, and the microstructure and physical properties were studied according to the impeller type (propeller, dispersed turbine) of the agitator. Through FE-SEM and Micro-CT analysis, it was confirmed that the average pore size of the foam manufactured with the dispersed turbine was 21.5% smaller than that of the pore made by the propeller. The compressive strength was improved by 15.4%, and the thermal conductivity decreased by 3.1% in the foam with small pores. This result can be utilized for fabricating PUF composites.

반도체를 비롯하여 LCD, OLED와 같은 디스플레이 (FPD: Flat Panel Display) 분야는 국가 선도 사업으로써 발전을 거듭해오고 있다. 하지만 기술의 성숙도가 높아짐에 따라 최근 중국과 대만 업체와의 경쟁이 심화되고 있으며, 더불어 환경문제가 큰 이슈로 떠오르고 있어 신기술 개발을 통한 생산 수율 향상 및 친환경 공정 개발의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 반도체, 디스플레이 공정에서 생산 수율 저하의 주요 원인으로써 공정 중 발생하는 미세 오염 입자를 들수 있다. 반도체 및 디스플레이 공정에서 세정 기술은 전체 기술의 30% 이상을 차지하며 생산 수율 및 제품의 품질에도 큰 영향을 주는 공정이다. 세정 공정은 일반적으로 습식 세정 공정이 낮은 공정비용을 바탕으로 널리 적용되어 왔으나, 기판의 대형화와 패턴의 미세화에 따라 정밀한 세정 스펙이 요구되며 더불어 막대한 양의 초순수와 화학액의 사용으로 인한 공정비용 증가와 환경 규제 강화에 따른 폐수 처리의 문제에 직면하고 있다. 이에 따라 폐수의 양을 줄이며 건조공정을 필요로 하지 않아 공정비용을 줄일 수 있는 건식 세정 공정에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행 되고 있다. $CO_2$ snow jet 세정 기술은 건식 공정으로써 $CO_2$ 가스를 특수하게 제작된 분사 노즐에서 고압으로 가스를 분사하여 이 때 발생되는 순간적인 감압에 의한 단열 팽창으로 생성된 $CO_2$ snow 입자가 기판 표면의 오염물과 물리적 충돌을 하어 세정이 이루어지는 기술이다. 특히 $CO_2$ 세정은 환경과 인체에 무해하며 공정 후 바로 승화하기 때문에 추가적인 폐수처리 공정 등이 필요하지 않고, 건식 공정으로써 수세(Rinse) 공정을 필요로 하지 않기 때문에, 공정비용을 크게 줄일 수 있으며 물반점 발생을 방지 할 수 있는 친환경 건식 공정으로써의 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자체적으로 개발한 $CO_2$ snow jet을 바탕으로 하여 다양한 공정조건을 변화시켜 세정효율을 측정하는 한편, 최적화 하기 위한 연구를 진행하였으며 더불어 $CO_2$ snow의 세정력을 정량적으로 평가하기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 실험을 통해 가장 효과적으로 $CO_2$ snow 입자를 배출 할 수 있는 공정 조건으로써 5 bar의 캐리어 가스 압력을 사용하여, 세정력에 가장 큰 영향을 줄 수 있는 분사 노즐과 기판 사이의 거리 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 변화시켜 각 조건에 따른 세정효율을 평가하였다. 세정 오염물은 Silica, PSL 표준 입자(Duke scientific, USA)를 정량적으로 웨이퍼에 오염 시킨 후, 파티클 스캐너(Surfscan 6500, KLA-Tencor, USA)를 이용하여 세정 전 후의 오염입자 개수 변화를 통해 정량적으로 세정효율을 평가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 $CO_2$ snow jet를 이용한 친환경 고효율 건식 세정 공정 메커니즘을 분석하였으며, 노즐과 기판 사이의 간격 및 분사 노즐의 각도 등을 최적화 한 세정 공정을 얻을 수 있었다.

The purpose of this study is to develop the hybrid sound-absorbing materials that is made from organic polyurethane sponge impregnated with inorganic binder solutions. The inorganic slurry which is made from ${\alpha}$-hemihydrate gypsum mixed with 60% water, and various additives including plasticizer are used as binder. The test specimens are prepared and tested for sound absorption performance by the impedance tube methods. From the test results, noise reduction coefficient(NRC) of development materials specimen bound by the inorganic binder slurry is 0.41. They are 2 times or more higher than commercial products specimens bound by organic materials only which have NRC values in the range of 0.14 to 0.28. The polyurethane sponge specimens impregnated with inorganic gypsum slurry binder have a good balance between performance and cost, and have proper properties in density, thermal conductivity, non-combustible, and absence of harmful substances as sound-absorbing internal boards for noise barrier wall. It is apparent that the good sound absorption materials can be produced according to the optimum mix design that is recommended from this study.

Three kinds of crystalline silicon have been used for the solar cell grade. First of all, single crystalline silicon is the main subject to enhance the production yield. Most of the efforts are focused on the control of the melt-crystal interface shape affected by the crystal-crucible rotation rate. The main subject in the multi-crystalline silicon ingot is the contamination control. Faster Ar gas flow above the melt surface will lower the carbon contamination in the crystal. And also, twin boundary electrically inactive is found to be more effective than grain boundary for the improvement of the MCLT. In the case of mono-like silicon material, propagation of the multi-crystalline silicon growing from the inner side crucible is the problem lowering the portion of the single crystalline part at the center of the ingot. Crystal growing apparatus giving higher cooling rate at the bottom and lower cooling rate at the side crucible was suggested as the optimum solution obtaining higher quality of the mono-like silicon ingot. Proper application of the seeds at the bottom of the crucible would be one of the solutions.

The Mongolian ger is ideally suited to the mongol's steppe climate and the nomadic way of life. This is a multipurpose dwelling which can be easily collapsed, transported to another place and put up again fully preserving its original shape. The pastoral nomadic ger has two key components: the wooden framework and the felt cover. The wooden parts are the walls(khana), the long poles(un), the smoke escape(toono) and its supports(bagana). One wall consists of 10-15 branches of willow tree. each about 1.5m high bound together in a way making it possible to fold it for transportation and then unfold it like an accordion. The unfolded walls are connected to form a circle. The long poles(un) are fastened to the upper part of the walls, with the other end passed through the toono hole, the only sky window and smoke escape through it from the ger. The toono is propped up by two posts, called bagana. All this forms the wooden framework of the ger, which is covered with felt. When the herders fire up their metal stoves, the temperature inside the ger becomes quite comfortable. Because the nomads live in a climate where there is only one growing season in a year, they do not make long migrations to new pastures. Livestock subsist on standing vegetation for eight months of the year. The basic pasture migration strategy is to leave enough standing vegetation at the end of the growing season in September to suffice until the new growth appears the following May. Mongolians use a type of compressed tea leaf that is called "brick" tea in English because it is rock solid and roughly the shape of a brick. And they consume a larger percent(88%) of fat from animal products such as meat, milk, butter, and cheese than any other people in the world. Milk products made from the milk of sheep, yak, and goats are major foods in the nomad's diet, but they are produced mainly in summer when all the animals are lactating. Mongolians made their special nomadic food culture on the steppe.

Generally, the cargo tank of LPG carriers corresponds to an independent tank Type A defined by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). The outside of the tank is insulated by polyurethane foam, and the tank is made of expensive low temperature steel that can withstand temperatures as low as -50℃. The cargo tank is composed of outer shell plates, bulkheads, stiffeners, web frames, and stringers. Among them, the outer shell plates, bulkheads, and stiffeners can be designed without structural analysis by the Classification Rules and are constructed easily through optimal design. On the other hand, optimal design, including numerous structural analysis, is not performed because web frames and stringers should be designed and approved through structural analysis. Only adequate design, which determines the design dimensions through several dozen structural analysis, is performed. In this study, for finite element analysis, eight loading conditions were applied, and the deformation of the entire ship for each loading condition was considered. The minimum weight design was performed for the web frames of cargo tanks in the 82,000 ㎥ LNG carrier through the gradient-based optimization technique, and the weight was reduced by approximately 108 tons per ship.

Sandwich panels which are having the both sides are bonded with a heat insulating material with an iron plate are used as factories, warehouse structures as advantages of convenience in construction at economic efficiency of material cost. However, in a panel structure constructed by continuous joining of sandwich panels, a joint portion where a panel and a panel are connected is generated. The joint part is a part which is easily vulnerable to fire because flames easily flow into the melting and deformation of the iron plate during fire. The flames flowing into the panel induce diffusion of fire by rapid burning, causing damage of human life and property. In this research, we developed a flame spread prevention plate to prevent spreading of sandwich panel. This is an improvement of the workability by the anti-spreading construction method of the existing previous research, it can be applied independently to the connecting part where the panel and the panel are coupled, designed to prevent inflow and spreading of flame did. The actual fire test of the test method of KS F ISO 13784-1 of the sandwich panel specimen was conducted and the burning behavior corresponding to the presence or absence of application of the flame spread prevention plate was grasped at the panel connection part and its effect was measured. Inserting a fire spreading plate into the test result panel connecting part is measured by delaying the flashover, prevention of collapse of the specimen, and temperature rise of the opening, effectively improving the fire safety of the panel structure It was confirmed as a method that can be secured. It is judged that panel structure will contribute to ensuring fire safety by applying the fire spread prevention construction method of various methods ensuring the workability and economy of panel connection vulnerable to fire.
