This study is on development of UV-cured hard coating compounds which have more improved abrasion resistance than existing UV-cured urethane-acrylic resin, to prevent a surface of a widely used PVC tile as a constructive material from being scratched. To make a high abrasion resistant hard coating solution compared to UV-cured urethane-acrylic resin which has no abrasion resistance and been used for PVC tiles, we added powder substances of different abrasion resistant level, $Al_2O_3$(Al-160SG-3), $Al(OH)_3$(SH-8W), $SiO_2$(KS-5000), etc., to the resin, changing their contents from 10% to 30% against quantities of resin, and compounded it using Ring-Mill. After coating PVC tiles with the hard coating solution using bar-coating method that can adjust a thickness, we estimated some surface properties-abrasion resistance, pencil hardness, adhesive power, thickness of coating, and so on. As a result, a hard coating solution added 30% $Al_2O_3$ powder to the resin had the finest surface properties-the first grade in abrasion resistance, H in pencil hardness, 100% in adhesive power, and a hard coating solution which showed excellent solidity and abrasion resistance has smaller particle size, higher powder content, and thicker coating thickness.

This paper presents experimental static test results of the precast concrete panels developed for short-span concrete bridge deck form. Different from LB-DECK, concrete rib attached to the bottom surface of concrete panel, and Top-bar is not used at the top surface of concrete panel. Number of concrete ribs and cross-section details of concrete rib are determined from the analytical results of parametric study considering the span length and the thickness of concrete bridge decks. Shear rebars are installed at the top surface of concrete panel for composite action between precast concrete panel and cast-in-place concrete. In order to evaluate the safety and the serviceability of the developed short-span concrete panel subjected to design load, static load test is conducted. Three test panels with span length of 1.6m are fabricated, and during the load test displacements, strains and cracks of test panels are measured and final failure modes are investigated. Serviceability of the test panels is evaluated based on the results of displacements, cracking load, and crack width at the design load level. Safety is also evaluated based on the comparison of the ultimate strength and the factored design load of test panels. Based on the test results, it is confirmed the short-span precast concrete panel satisfies the serviceability and safety regulated in design codes. In addition, the range of span length of concrete bridge decks for the short-span concrete panel is discussed.

This paper presents a reinforced concrete composite deck slab system newly developed using a high ductile ECC extrusion panel. In the construction practice, the cracking of reinforced concrete slab often becomes a problem especially in parking garages, underground structures, and buildings. The ECC panel manufactured by extrusion process as a precast product has not only a high-quality in control of cracking but also a merit in applying the construction of concrete slab because the use of ECC panel can realize a formless or half-precast construction with cast-in-place concrete. In the newly developed deck slab system, the ECC extrusion panel is located in the bottom of slab with the thickness of 10 mm, reinforcements are assembled and located on the ECC panel, and finally the topping concrete is placed in the field. In order to evaluate the newly developed slab system, experimental works by four point bending test are conducted to compare with the conventional reinforced concrete slab system. From experiment, the developed deck slab system using a ECC panel gives many improved performances both in control of bending cracking and in load-carrying capacities of slabs.

To effectively use the cross section of concrete decks, analytical and experimental studies on prestressed steel-box-girder bridges were performed in this study. The method of applying prestress was determined in the analytical study and the longitudinal behavior of the prestressed steel-box-girder bridge was considered in the experimental study. The object model for these studies was a two-span continuous bridge. The method of applying prestress determined herein was divided into two parts: one is that apply prestress to the concrete deck at its intermediate support, and the other is that apply prestress to the lower flange of the steel-box-girder bridge at its end support. The prototype bridge for the experiment was simulated based on the rule of similitude and was fabricated according to construction steps to apply prestress effectively. From the results of the experimental study, it has demonstrated that the prestressed steel-box-girder bridge provides better performance than the general steel-box-girder bridge in view of the increase of the design live load, the reduction of the tensile stress of the concrete deck at intermediate support, and the reduction of the displacement.

In this paper, we proposed a thickness measurement method of concrete slab using GPR, and the verification of the suggested algorithm was carried out through real-scale experiment. The thickness measurement algorithm developed in this study is to set the relative dielectric constant based on the unique shape of parabola, and time series data can be converted to thickness information. GPR scanning were conducted in four types of slab structure for noise reduction, including finishing mortar, autoclaved lightweight concrete, and noise damping layer. The thickness obtained by GPR was compared with Boring data, and the average error was 1.95 mm. In order to investigate the effect of finishing materials on the slab, additional three types of finishing materials were placed, and the following average error was 1.70 mm. In addition, sampling interval from device, the effect of radius on the shape of parabola, and Boring error were comprehensively discussed. Based on the experimental verification, GPR scanning and the suggested algorithm have a great potential that they can be applied to the thickness measurement of finishing mortar from concrete slab with high accuracy.

This study was conducted to propose a reasonable requirement regulation of cutoff barriers composed of bottom layer and vertical barrier of offshore landfill for the prevention of contaminant leakage. The bottom layer was composed of impermeable clay layer; vertical walls were composed of double walls; outer wall was composed of steel sheet pile which registed against outer force; cutoff vertical barrier took the role of inner wall. Seepage-advection-dispersion numerical analysis was conducted using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W programs under steady and unsteady flows. The results showed that the values calculated under steady flow showed higher migration of pollutant than those of unsteady flow. The values calculated under steady flow are more valid from a design point of view. Under steady flow and the bottom clay layer and when the vertical barrier are homogeneous and completely well installed, respectively, the minimum required cutoff regulations for hydraulic conductivity, thickness, and embedded depth of the bottom clay layer and vertical barrier were suggested.

By describing the floor slab of a radiant heating system as a one dimensional transient heat exchanger problem, a dynamic analysis model to incorperate with TRNSYS program was developed and their results were compared with experimental results. Results showed that the both of TPOC(Two Parameter On-off Control) and TPSC(Two Parameter Switching Control) method using room air temperature and floor surface temperature as the control parameters does not maintain room air and floor surface temperature exactly at the setting temperatures. But TPSC method is a better candidate for the temperature regulations of room air and floor surface temperature than TPOC method which can keep on the upper and lower limit temperature according to outside temeperature and wall structure etc. And better thermal circumstance can be given by TPSC method than On-off and TPOC method and the overheating which can be occured at the radiant floor heating system with on-off heating control will be reduced.

This study was conducted to propose a reasonable requirement regulation of barrier system of rubble mound revetment offshore landfill for preventing contaminant leakage. The barrier is composed with bottom layer and side barrier. The bottom layer was assumed as impermeable clay layer and side barrier was composed with HDPE sheet (primary element) and mid-protection layer (supplementary element). Seepage-advection-dispersion numerical analysis has been conducted using SEEP/W and CTRAN/W programs under steady flow. As the results, the minimum required barrier regulations for hydraulic conductivity and thickness of the bottom layer were suggested. For side barrier, the extended length of HDPE sheet and the hydraulic conductivity of mid-protection layer were also suggested.

This study is to evaluate on the increased cost of construction according to the depth change of concrete slabs in apartment building. When we increased the depth of concrete slab from 150mm to 180, 210mm, the qualitative and cost of construction were calculated by the high-rise type, the unit-size type. As a result of this study, in 32 Pyong type, increment of construction cost rate appeared by $5.1\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $10.0\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm. In 45 Pyong type, Increment of construction cost rate appeared by $5.7\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $10.2\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm. In 55 Pyong type, Increment of construction cost rate appeared by $2.4\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 180mm, and $8.9\%$ in case of increase from slab 150mm to 210mm.
