At present, about 40 million tons of concrete is dismantled each year, which accounts for the largest portion of the total amount of construction waste with 60.8%. It is known about 97.5% of it is recycled. However, most of the usage of waste concrete is limited to lower value-added business areas, and considering the increasing amount of waste concrete generated due to the deterioration of structures, the need for converting waste concrete to structural concrete is urgent. Therefore, this study aims at estimating the period for the optimum carbonation reforming to improve the quality of recycled aggregate, by making use of the method of accelerated carbonation reforming of the bonding heterogeneous (cement paste and mortar) for the purpose of converting recycled aggregate to structural concrete. Based on the period appropriate for the heterogeneous thickness and each bonding thickness of recycled aggregate which was drawn from previous studies, the changes in the characteristics and physical properties of pore structure according to progress of accelerated carbonation were analyzed. The result shows that with the progress of carbonation, the pore volume and the percentage of water absorption of the bonding heterogeneous decreased and the density increased, which indicates improvement of the product quality. But after certain age, the tendency was reversed and the product quality deteriorated. Synthesizing the results of previous studies and those of the present study, this study proposed 4 days and 14 days respectively for the period for the optimum carbonation reforming of recycled fine aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate.

In this study, the small-scale collision experiments using a pendulum principle were carried out to evaluate the safety of the reinforced concrete building selected as a tsunami evacuation building due to the collision of the waterborne debris represented by ships. The experimental parameters were set as impact velocity, mass and length of the drifted ship. In this paper, the maximum impact force, impact duration, impact waveform and restitution coefficient affecting building response were investigated in detail. As a result, the impact force waveforms were distributed as a triangle in most of the experimental results, but became closer to a trapezoid as the length of the collision specimen increased. This is the very important result in calculating the momentum (impact waveform area) affecting building response, Furthermore, the restitution coefficients were constant regardless of the impact velocity, but they varied depending on the mass and length of the waterborne debris. However, the restitution coefficient for the mass per unit length of the waterborne debris can be evaluated.

Surficial sediments from the northern coastal area of Jeju Island, southeastern Yellow Sea (South Sea of Korea) were analyzed for grain-size texture, some geochemical characteristics and clay mineralogy in order to assess their provenance. Rare-earth element compositions and some geochemical discrimination diagrams, especially of Ti/Al, Nb/Al and Rb/Al ratios, were revealed to be useful indices for identifying the origin of sediments. These indices, together with clay mineral compositions, suggest that the coarse-grained sediments originate from the volcanic rocks of Jeju Island, whereas the fine-grained sediments are derived from Chinese rivers, especially the Changjiang River. The oceanic circulation pattern and the physical-chemical properties of seawater in the Yellow and East China seal support the possibility that the fine-pained Changjiang (Yangtze River) sediments can reach the coastal area of Jeju Island (southeastern Yellow Sea).

하천수계는 여러 인자들의 상호작용을 통하여 변화하게 되며, 하천 자정능력에 관한 연구는 이를 중심으로 진행되어 왔다. 여러 환경 요인 중 하상재료는 하천의 조도와 수생태계의 특성을 변화시키게 되며, 유입수의 성상에 따라 수저퇴적물이 쌓이거나, 생물막이 형성되는 매개체 역할을 하게 된다. 특히, 하천의 폭이 좁고 수심이 얕은 개울에서는 하상 퇴적물이 수질에 기여하는 영향이 큰 것으로 알려져 있다. 국내하천의 경우 하상재료가 주로 모래와 자갈이 주를 이루고 있으며, 수심이 낮아 빛의 투과성이 양호하여 부착조류의 증식 및 하상재료(모래 및 자갈 등)를 기질로 한 생물막 형성 등 하상재료는 하천환경의 변화 및 수질변화가 일어나는데 상당한 기여를 하는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 하천의 하상재료가 설치된 수로를 이용하여 이화학적요소를 조사, 분석함으로써 하상재료를 통한 수질변화 특성을 비교.검토 하였다. 그 결과 하상재료의 입경이 클수록 DO 변화가 더 큰 폭으로 증가 하였으며, 수위와 유속의 경우 수위가 낮으면서 유속이 적정수준일 경우 DO 증가가 나타나는 것으로 관측되었다. 하천수가 수로에 의해 순환되면서 유기물 저감속도의 측정결과 초기 흡착, 침전 등의 물리적 작용이 부착조류 증식 등의 생물학적 작용보다 우선되면서 입자성 유기탄소(POC)의 제거속도가 용존성 유기탄소(DOC) 의 경우보다 더 빠르고 우선되는 것으로 조사되었다. 영양염류의 경우 부착성조류에 의한 질소 제거능은 실제 질산화작용은 활발히 이루어졌으나 탈질작용에 의한 총질소의 제거는 미비한 것으로 나타났으며, 총인은 입자성유기탄소가 제거되는 것과 유사한 경향을 나타내 제거 기작이 대부분 흡착, 침전에 의한 물리적 자정 작용에 기인한 것으로 조사되었다. 또한 하상재료 입경 변화에 따른 수질변화 특성은 기질(하상재료)의 입경이 작을수록 오염물질의 분해능이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 이와 같이 여러 하천환경 요인 중 하상재료에 의한 하천환경의 다양한 변화는 수질변화 및 자정능력에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다.

RC (Reinforced Concrete) member has varying service life due to varying diffusion characteristics with loading conditions even if it is exposed to constant exterior conditions. In the paper, quantitative parameters are obtained through adopting the previous results for effects of compressive, tensile, and cold joint on chloride diffusion in OPC (Ordinary Portland Cement) and GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) concrete. Service life is evaluated in RC simple beam with 10.0m of span through increasing loading from self weight (2.5kN/m) to the loading to cracking moment (5.5kN/m). In OPC concrete without cold joint, service life changes to 89.4% for tensile region and 101% for compressive region with loadings while GGBFS concrete has 80.0% and 106%, respectively. For cold joint area, GGBFS concrete shows much reduced service life to 82~80% in compressive region and 69~61% in tensile region, which is caused by the lower diffusion in normal condition but relatively higher increasing cold joint effect than OPC concrete.

This paper shows an experimental study for fundamental characteristics of alkali activated fly ash-slag cement paste exposed to seawater of 5℃. Fly ash and slag were blended in three different ratios; 6:4, 7:3, and 8:2. Activators (NaOH and Na2SiO3) used 5% of the binder weight. It was shown that as the fly ash substitution rate in creased, compressive strength and density decreased, and water absorption rate increased. The results of X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry showed that hydration reactants formed in samples did not differ significantly, however, C-S-H gel increased as the slag substitution rate increased. It showed that mechanical properties of fly ash-slag cement pastes under 5℃ seawater condition were affected by the slag substitution rate rather than fly ash.

정부가 생각하는 중요한 정책방향은 두 가지를 보면 알 수 있다. 바로 예산과 인력이다. 필요하다고 판단하는 곳에 정부는 예산과 인력이 투입되게 마련이다. 따라서 국가의 재정운용에 대한 평가를 해보면 어떤 것이 중요한 것인지에 대한 가치판단을 할 수 있다. 국가의 물관리 예산도 마찬가지이다. 국민소득과 여러 가지 사회경제적 특성에 따라 물관리예산은 국가별로 차이가 난다. 그러나 경제발전단계가 높을수록 높은 관리예산이 투입되는 것이 일반적이다. 과연 우리나라의 물관리예산은 적정한 것일까? 그러나 우리나라의 물관리는 여러 부처에 분산되어 있고 하천의 관리도 국가하천과 지방하천으로 구분되어 있기 때문에 이 질문에 답을 하기가 어렵다. 엄밀히 말하면 우리나라의 물관리예산이 연간 모두 얼마인지를 정확히 알지 못한다. 결국 적정한 수준인지를 평가할 수도 없다. 홍수방어와 용수공급이라는 시급성으로 인해 공공투자의 성격이 강했기 때문에 굳이 평가가 필요 없었을 수도 있다. 그러나 물관리가 과거와는 달리 복잡해졌고 따라서 물관리를 위한 정부의 재정계획과 집행 역시 여기에 맞게 보다 세심해져야 한다. 이제까지의 물관리예산이 사회적인 인프라를 건설하는데 주력했었다면 이제는 거버넌스와 생태계관리는 물론 물순환 전체를 위한 다양한 정책에 국가 재정이 투입될 필요가 있다. 그러나 이 같은 의사결정은 현재 재정계획과 투입입의 적정성과 타당성이 먼저 평가되어야 한다. 본 연구는 OECD내 다른 국가들의 물관리예산과 우리나라의 물관리예산을 비교분석함으로써 우리나라 물관리예산의 적정성을 평가하고자 한다. 특히 합리적인 재정구조를 가지고 있다고 판단되는 남아프리카공화국과의 비교를 통해 향후 우리나라의 과제가 무엇인지 검토하고자 한다.

This study examined the removal rate of mixed heavy metals from aqueous solution using recycled aggregate. The recycled aggregate is favorable for the absorbent because it contains about 95% (CaO, $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and $Fe_2O_3$), which are major ingredient of adsorbent for heavy metal. The kinetic data presented that the slow course of adsorption follows the Pseudo first and second order models. The equilibrium data were well fitted by the Langmuir model and showed the affinity order: $Cu^{2+}$ > $Pb^{2+}$ > $$Zn^{2+}{\simeq_-}Ni^{2+}$$ > $Cd^{2+}$. The results also showed that adsorption rate slightly increased with increasing pH from 6 to 10. Moreover, this trend is similar to results obtained as function of loading amount of recycled aggregate. Meanwhile, an unit adsorption rate was slightly decreased. From these results, it was concluded that the absorbents can be successfully used the removal of the heavy metals from the aqueous solutions.

The major issues of managing an organization and its environments are on how to establish a community for their co-survival and collaboration. This study is on the principles and management practices for establishing the community of organization and its environments based on the power circulatory approach, so that it contributes to creation of the social orders for co-survival and collaboration. In order to do this I discussed the theories and practices of the power circulatory approach, and then suggest their application to establishment of the co-survival community for organization and its environment. According to results the power circulatory approach offers theoretical and managerial tools which establish the co-survival community for organization and its environments, so that it increases likelihood of their co-survival and collaboration. Furthermore I discussed the position of the power circulatory approach to co-survival and collaboration in a manner that displays similarities and differences with exiting approaches such as the contingency and population ecology model.

A submerged biofilm sequencing batch reactor (SBSBR) process, which liquor was internally circulated through sandfilter, was designed, and performances in swine wastewater treatment was evaluated under a condition of no external carbon source addition. Denitrification of NOx-N with loading rate in vertical and slope type of sandfilter was 19% and 3.8%, respectively, showing approximately 5 times difference, and so vertical type sandfilter was chosen for the combination with SBSBR. When the process was operated under 15 days HRT, 105L/hr.m3 of internal circulation rate and 54g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, treatment efficiencies of STOC, NH4-N and TN (as NH4-N plus NOx-N) was 75%, 97% and 85%, respectively. By conducting internal circulation through sandfilter, removal performances of TN were enhanced by 14%, and the elevation of nitrogen removal was mainly attributed to occurrence of denitrification in sandfilter. Also, approximately 57% of phosphorus was removed with the conduction of internal circulation through sandfilter, meanwhile phosphorus concentration in final effluent rather increased when the internal circulation was not performed. Therefore, It was quite sure that the continuous internal circulation of liquor through sandfilter could contribute to enhancement of biological nutrient removal. Under 60g/m3.d of NH4-N loading rate, the NH4-N level in final effluent was relatively low and constant(below 20mg/L) and over 80% of nitrogen removal was maintained in spite of loading rate increase up to 100g/m3.d. However, the treatment efficiency of nitrogen was deteriorated with further increase of loading rate. Based on this result, an optimum loading rate of nitrogen for the process would be 100g/m3.d.
