As increasing social needs of pavement maintenance, pattern frame method has been constructed in Korea. The pattern frame not only increases the skid resistance of pavements but also improve the scenery. However, construction of the pattern frame currently relies on imported materials. In this paper, we localize the materials used in pattern frame and conduct performance verification on them. The important performance indicators are the adhesion strength of undercoating materials and the skid resistance of finished pattern frames. The adhesion strength was targeted at 1.4MPa, and the localization alternative material met the target performance with 2.35MPa, the skid resistance performance was targeted at 40BPN, and the localization alternative material met the target performance with 75BPN. In the case of localized materials, approximately 40% cost reduction (per 1m²)compared to imported materials was confirmed.

The recent government policy for environment is pursuing for a circular waste control system not only to reduce waste as much as possible but also to vigorously use the already produced waste. Copper slag has a higher fineness modulus and a greater specific gravity than natural aggregate. but when the substitutive ratio of fine aggregate is higher than 30%, material segregation occurs by bleeding. Thus, in this study, the strength and the physical properties were tested for the specimens manufactured by varying the types of admixtures, and the substitutive ratio of copper slag to suppress material segregation occurring due to the bleeding of concrete using copper slag as the substitutive material of fine aggregate and to find the adequate substitutive ratio of copper slag.

Construction that over 70% of the structure consists of concrete gets bigger and higher gradually and the demand of that is increasing as well. However, it's not easy to supply young and skilled persons on construction site because of social avoidance phenomena about 3D occupation, so it causes serious problems like aging and shortage of technicians. To solve the problems, executives related to the construction field make a management effort in various ways such as construction period shortening, labor productivity improvement and good quality but recently, they have an increasing interest in the necessity of the modularization of the high-rise building and the automation of the engineering development for the strengthening of international competitive power as more active and long-term alternatives. Therefore, this study is to propose the roadmap in order to make lots of efforts in developing construction technologies of high-rise buildings by performing a foundation study, the strategy for 4-step research development, on modularized construction system of concrete structure of high-rise buildings through domestic and foreign preceding research analyses associated with optimal design modularization technique, module factory automation and assembly automation of modularized objects.

Abalone aquacultural industry has been growing rapidly in a short period of time, however, there has been just a few researches related to the forecast of the supply, demand and price. Even the models developed by these researches have problems of low compatibility and reliability. To resolve these problem, a biological supply model needs to be developed that maintains time difference and linkage among the quantity of juvenile abalone into the plots, quantity of cultivation, quantity of shipment, and at the same time juvenile abalone is transplanted into the plot, matured and shipped by the expected market price. This study focus on the development of the model for determining quantity of the abalone cultivation, which is the core part of the entire abalone demand and supply model. Key factors that affect cultivation quantity were identified and verified the causal relationship among these variables and cultivation quantity. It turned out that the quantity of juvenile abalone transplanted and the relative price(the abalone price of the place of produce divided by the brown seaweed price) have a great influence on the cultivation quantity. Also, the similarity of the variation for the cultivation quantity of the observed value and the forecasted value implies that the model developed in this study has a high compatibility.

Recycled aggregates show high water absorption rate compared to natural aggregates due to microcrack developed during production process and adhered cement pastes at the surface of recycled aggregates. This leads to the deterioration of mechanical properties and slow work flow. Currently it is getting hard to satisfy high demand for natural aggregates. Utilizing recycled aggregate more widely may be a substitutable countermeasure for the shortage of natural resources. In this study, two-stage mixing approach(TSMA) suggested by Tam et al. is used to produce recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) with 100 % replacement of coarse natural aggregate and tests for compressive strength, elastic modulus, and chloride ion diffusion coefficient are conducted to find out the effect of TSMA compared to normal mixing method. According to experimental result compressive strength and elastic modulus of RAC with TSMA was superior to those of RAC with normal mixing irrespective of water-cement ratio, and in some cases mechanical properties of RAC with TSMA approached to those of natural aggregate concrete(NAC). However, chloride ion diffusion coefficient of RAC was higher than that of NAC. This illustrates that TSMA is not an appropriate method in reducing chloride ion diffusion coefficient, resulting in inconsequential contribution of TSMA to the durability of RAC.

최근의 고유가와 환경오염에 대한 대응 수단으로 수송용 바이오연료의 보급에 대한 관심이 세계적으로 높아지고 있다. 이 중 바이오디젤은 동식물성 기름으로부터 메탄올과의 전이에스테르화 반응에 의해 생산되는 경유대체 연료로서 환경 친화성과 지속가능성이 인정됨에 따라 그 생산량이 급격히 증가하고 있다. 바이오디젤의 생산량이 증가함에 따라 대두유, 유채유, 팜유 등의 원료유 가격 상승 및 수급 불안정 문제가 대두되고 있으며 식량자원과의 충돌 문제도 발생되고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위한 방안으로 유리지방산 함량이 높은 저가유지 자원(폐식용유, 폐돈지, 폐우지, soapstock, trapped grease)을 이용한 공정 개발 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 비활용되고 있는 해외 열대작물 열매씨앗에서 착유한 식물성 오일의 바이오디젤 원료유로서의 사용 가능성을 검토하였다. 열대작물 오일의 물성 분석 결과 고형물, 수분, 인, 유리지방산 함량이 대두원유보다 매우 높게 나타났다. 오일 중의 인지질은 바이오디젤 제조 반응후 에스테르와 글리세린의 층분리를 방해하여 공정 효율을 감소시키고 유리지방산은 염기촉매와 결합하여 지방산염을 생성해 생산수율을 감소시키는 문제를 일으킨다. 고형물과 수분은 여과와 감압증발에 의해 쉽게 제거가 가능하였다. 15~20%의 유리지방산 함유 열대작물 오일의 전처리를 위해 균질계 산촉매와 비균질 고체 산촉매를 이용해 에스테르화 반응 효율을 조사한 결과 황산이 가장 높은 효율을 보였다. 반응표면분석법(Response Surface Method, RSM)을 적용해 메탄올과 촉매량의 2변수 에스테르화반응 최적화를 수행한 결과 메탄올 26%, 촉매 0.98%로 최적 조건이 도출되었으며 초기 산가 33mgKOH/g에서 0.98mgKOH/g으로 감소됨을 확인하였다. 전처리 정제한 오일의 물성분석 결과 고형물 0.1%, 수분 0.10%, 산가 1.0mgKOH/g, 인함량 20ppm 이하로 바람직한 원료유가 생산됨을 알 수 있었다. 제조된 원료유를 이용해 전이에스테르화 반응 최적화 실험을 RSM에 근거하여 진행한 결과 KOH 0.8%, 메탄올:오일 몰비 6.2:1, 반응온도 $60^{\circ}C$, 교반속도 200rpm, 반응시간 30분으로 나타났으며 증류 정제전 97.3%, 증류후 100.0%의 바이오디젤을 생산 할 수 있었다. 열대작물 오일의 전처리 공정은 메탄올을 과잉양으로 사용함으로 효과적인 알콜 회수 공정이 중요하다. 전처리 후 층분리를 통해 회수되는 메탄올 중의 수분함량은 2%~7%로서 이를 전처리 반응에 재사용하기 위해서는 0.3%이하의 수분함량으로 정제가 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 고가의 증류탑 형태가 아닌 단증류방식으로 2단계 내지 3단계로 0.3% 수분의 메탄올 회수 조건을 도출하였으며 파일롯 공정 설계를 진행하고 있다. 이로서 본 연구의 열대작물 오일은 저가로 충분한 물량의 확보가 가능하다면 바이오디젤 원료 자원으로서 큰 활용가치가 있는 것으로 판단된다.

Due to the global warming and unstable abnormal climate changes, water resources differences between regions and water shortage are occurring. Therefore, the water resources management is becoming more important for the stable securement of future water supply and demand. Researches on Smart Water Grid (SWG), which is considered as a new method, that can stably secure and maintain the water resources, are actively being conducted but it is still in infancy. Thus, this study aimed to design SWG simulator based on GIS in order to provide integrated water information in web environment. The user's requirements were analyzed for system development and important functions such as SWG current situation checking, future prediction, filtration plant situation checking functions were designed and data expression techniques using GIS and HTML5 were applied to enhance the understanding of the users. Also, when the emergency situations occurred, the solving process of the situations are reproduced to check the solution process using scenario reproduction functions. Use-case, class, sequence diagram, which are a design for real system development and defines the system usage contents of users, were written, and the story board was written to check the final development contents. This study designed a SWG simulator in order to support the water maintenance reacting to climate changes. The development of system is expected to help securing information to deal with emergency situations such as water shortage and help the decision maker to make decision through reproduction of scenario. The major functions were designed for the convenience of water resource manager and producer but new contents for consumers must be developed to enable duplex information transmission.

Although blast furnace slag has been widely used in concrete as a cementitious admixture or aggregate for many years, the slowly cooled steel slag is not used in concrete but mainly in road. Its use in concrete operates problem such as the lack of volume stability due to high free CaO content, which can be potentially hazardous in concrete. However, the rapidly cooled steel slag by atomization has a low free CaO content, a high density, and a spherical shape, so it is expected to use in concrete so much. This paper is to understand the probability that the rapid cooled steel slag can replace the silica sand used as aggregate in the epoxy mortar. We did the experimental study on the properties of the epoxy mortar having various replacement proportion of rapidly cooled steel slag. This study shown that increasing content of the rapidly cooled steel slag in epoxy mortar lead to increase largely the passing time of nozzle by O-lot, compressive strength and flexural strength. However except the flow is almost same level. So we understand that the rapidly cooled steel slag has positive effect on increasing of properties in epoxy mortar.

The shoreline change caused by the construction of shore protection structures are discussed based on the example of Youngrang coast, Sokcho where the coastal erosion control system(CECS), three artificial headlands and two submerged breakwaters are being constructed. The study qualitatively analyzed the shoreline changes of Youngrang coast using available satellite/aerial photographs and camera photographs taken during the construction period of 6 years since 2002 for the artificial headlands construction. The main results from the study are as following. (1) Before the installation of the middle artificial headland, longshore drifts along Youngrang coast are transported in the NW-SE direction according to the seasonally different wave characteristics. (2) During the CECS construction the shoreline is continuously changed by altering the local longshore drift budget. Especially, the middle artificial headland induces considerable change of shoreline by blocking the sediment supply from the southern pocket beach to the northern pocket beach and by accelerating the sediment accretion at the wave shadow zone behind its head. It induces the asymmetry on the net longshore drift causing the significant erosion at the center of the southern pocket beach. (3) The study demonstrates that serious unintended erosion/accretion problem are possibly occurred due to local changes on the wave transformation and the sediment transport by the construction of coastal erosion control system.

The purpose of the study is to derive a long term reservoir operation method that is easy to understand and apply to practical use for dam operators. The zone based operation rule is a simple method to make operation decisions by criteria corresponding to storage zones. The reservoir storage levels dividing a reservoir, however, must be determined by some methods. We developed a reservoir operation model based on the zone based operation rule and the shuffled complex evolution algorithm (SCE-UA) was used to determine storage levels for zone division. The model was applied to Angat Dam in the Philippines that has trouble in water supply due to imbalance between supply and demand. We derived a zone based operation rule for Angat Dam and applied it to the reservoir simulation of Angat Dam using the historical inflow. The simulation results showed water supply deficit and power generation were improved by 34.5% and 21.2%, respectively, when compared with the historical records. The current study results may be used to derive a long term reservoir operation rule.
