In this paper, an experimental study was conducted to present the properties of rapid hardening composite mat, and a numerical analysis was carried out to analyze the slope protection effect of the mats based on ground conditions, rainfall, slope gradient and soil height. As a result, the application of rapid hardening composite mat increased the slope safety factor in all conditions, and the increase rate of safety factor showed an average of 40% increase both in dry and rainy seasons. Through these research findings, the protective effect of the rapid hardening composite mat on sloping surfaces has been proven, and it is suggested that the rapid hardening composite mat is suitable for application in areas where slope failure or collapse is expected.

The Rapid Hardening Composite Mat (RHCM) is a product that improves the initial strength development speed of conventional Geosynthetic Cementitious Composite Mats (GCCM). It offers the advantage of quickly securing sufficient strength in railway slopes with insufficient formation level, and provides benefits such as preventing slope erosion and inhibiting vegetation growth. In this study, an analysis of the practical applicability of RHCM in railway settings was conducted through experimentation. The on-site applicability was assessed by categorizing it into fire resistance, durability, and stability, and conducting combustibility test, ground contact pressure test, and daily displacement analyses. In the case of South Korea, where a significant portion of the territory is composed of forested areas, the prevention of slope fires is imperative. To analyze the fire resistance of RHCM, combustibility tests were conducted as an essential measure. Durability was assessed through ground contact pressure tests to analyze the deformation and potential damage of RHCM caused by the inevitable use of small to medium-sized equipment on the construction surface. Furthermore, daily displacement analysis was conducted to evaluate the structural stability by comparing and analyzing the displacement and behavior occurring during the application of RHCM with railway slope maintenance criteria. As a result of the experiments, the RHCM was analyzed to meet the criteria for heat release rate and gas toxicity. Furthermore, the ground contact pressure was observed to be consistently above 50 kPa during the curing period of 4 to 24 hours under all conditions. Additionally, the daily displacement analyzed through field site experiments ranged from -1.7 mm to 1.01 mm, confirming compliance with the criteria.

현재 유전개발이 가속화 되고 있는 캐나다의 유전개발현장에서 진입도로용으로 사용하고 있는 목재 가도 매트를 대체하기 위해 고강도 경량 고내구성 특성을 갖는 복합소재 리그매트를 개발하였다. 기존에 본 연구진이 개발한 리그매트는 중차량의 반복하중에 취약한 거동을 보였으므로 이를 해결하기 위한 개선형 리그매트를 개발하였다. 개선형 리그매트의 구조안전성을 평가하기 위하여 단일데크의 강축 휨에 대한 해석 및 시험을 실시하여 휨 거동 특성을 조사하였다.

In the present study, composite insulation mat was reinforced over polyurethane foam (PUF) to improve the thermal performance and impact resistance of the PUF applied to the liquefied natural gas carrier insulation system. The composite insulation mat used Kevlar, aerogel, and cryogel composite mat that can be applied in a cryogenic environment. The thermal conductivity was measured at $20^{\circ}C$ to investigate the thermal performance, and the drop impact test was carried out under impact energy of 30 J at $20^{\circ}C$, $-163^{\circ}C$ to investigate the impact resistance. The measured thermal performance was compared with neat PUF through effective thermal conductivity theoretical value. The shock resistance was evaluated of contact force, contact time, and absorb energy. In experimental results, cryogel composite mat was the best performance in terms of thermal performance, and aerogel composite mat was the best performance in terms of impact resistance.

This paper is dealt with railway slope stability for slope reinforcement using a geosynthetic concrete composite mat(GCCM). Recently, according to a change in weather caused by global warming, train operation has been restricted by the loss of backfill slope at the roadbed, which is consists of gravel, due to typhoons and heavy rainfall. In addition, the amount of damage is getting more significant than the cost of restoration, and the safety of workers is worried. In order to improve this limitation, a slope stability analysis was applied with a rapid hardening composite mat so that it can quickly secure a construction surface with increased workability and work stability and reduce maintenance costs by preventing re-loss in case of heavy rain and fundamentally blocking vegetation. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the increase in safety factor was confirmed when the rapid harding composite mat was applied.

In this study, nanocomposite mats consisting of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) and poly(lactic acide) (PLA) were electrospun from a suspension mixture consisting of tetrahydrofuran at room temperature. Morphology study showed that fibers of electrospun composite mats were aligned in three dimensional surface along the fiber long-axis. Average diameter of the electrospun fibers decreased with an increase in the CNC loading level. Tensile strength of the electrospun fibers mat decreased with an increase in the CNC loading level because of bead formation in the formed fibers and low interfacial bond strength between PLA and CNC. Meanwhile, thermal stability of the electrospun nanocomposite mats was effectively improved as the amount of CNC increased.

저밀도 폐놀계 탄소/탄소 복합재의 층간전단강도를 개선하기 위해 흑연분말, 카본블랙, 카본매트, 단섬유 등의 첨가제를 사용하였다. 카본매트와 단섬유를 첨가한 경우, 수지의 부족에 의한 층간접착력의 약화를 가져왔으며, 카본블랙을 첨가한 경우에도 큰 효과를 나타내지 못했다. 흑연을 첨가했을 때 약 30%의 층간강도 개선을 가져왔으며 특히 9 vol.%의 첨가량에 대해서 가장 큰 효과를 보였다.

일반적으로, 고분자 매트릭스에 층상 점토광물이 분산되어 얻어지는 복합재료는 세가지 형태를 이룬다. 첫째 통상의 복합재료는 고분자 매트릭스 내에 점토입자가 고루게 분산된 상태를 말하며, 둘째 점토 층 사이에 고분자 모노머나 올리고머가 일부분 삽입된 삽입형 복합재료(intercalated composite)이며, 셋째 점토 층 사이에 삽입된 모노머나 올리고머의 경화 또는 중합반응을 통해 점토내의 한층 한층 균일하게 매트릭스 내에 분산된 박리형 나노복합소재(exfoliated nanocomposite) 이다. 이들 복합재료들 중 박리형 나노복합소재는 적은 양의 점토가 단위 층으로 고분자 매트릭스에 완전히 분산되어 다양한 물성의 향상이 기대되는 재료이다. 따라서 최근 고분자의 기계적 강도, 팽윤 저항성 그리고 차폐특성 둥 전반적인 물성을 향상시키는 방법으로 층상 점토광물의 층 사이에 다양한 유기물을 삽입하여 층간거리를 확장시킨 유기 점토광물을 제조하고 이를 고분자 소재에 첨가하여 박리형 나노복합소재를 제조하는 방법이 많은 연구가 수행되고 있다.

항공기용 소재로 개발된 에폭시/탄소섬유 복합재료가 매트릭스의 유리전이온도에 육 박하는 온도주기를 경험할 때 발생하는 복합재료의 구조 및 물성변화를 실험과 모델링을 통 하여 연구하였다. 복합재료의 표준 경화온도인 177$^{\circ}C$에서 2시간 체류시킨후 냉각시키는 바 복 열주기는 복합재료를 취약하게 하여 결국 표면에서부터 미세크랙이발생한다는 것을 알수 있었다. 이러한 열주기에 따른 미세크랙 현상은 매트릭스의 분해반응이 발생할수 있는 유효 표면적을 증가시키고 크랙을 통하여 산소의투과를 용이하게 함으로서 산화반응을 가속화하 여 복합재료시편의 무게감소를 가속화시키는 것으로 판단된다. 특히 본 연구에서는 등온과 등속도 승온조건을 주기적으로 반복하는 열주기 조건을 해석하기 위하여 열주기 조건을 특 정온도에서의 등오시간으로 전환할 수 있는 e-quivalent cycle time(ECT)를 제안하였고 이 를 이용하여 열주기에 의한 복합재료 손상의 가속/감속 현상을 규명할수있었다.
