In this study, continuous microbial fuel cells (MFCs) were operated using non-precious metal catalysts such as iron(II) phthalocyanine (FePc) and cobalt tetramethoxyphenylporphyrin (CoTMPP)) as alternative cathode catalysts for platinum. To evaluate MFCs performance, operational conditions of organic loading rate (OLR) (0.5~3 g COD/L/d) and hydraulic retention rate (HRT) (0.25~1 day) were changed. Power density of MFCs were determined by cathode electrode performance. The maximum power density was $3.3W/m^3$ with platinum at OLR 3 g COD/L/d. Given each HRTs at 1 g COD/L/d, FePc showed to be a better alternative for platinum than CoTMPP because the power density of MFC with FePc was similar to that of MFC with platinum. CoTMPP catalyst, however, showed the lowest power density due to increase of internal resistance during continuous operation.

This study proposes a new concept of a tunnel central drainage system by using a drain board to make a breakthrough on difficulties in the installation of conventional drainage system and draw-down of its drain capacity especially in long tunnels. A fundamental study has been performed for evaluation of the drain capacity of the planar drainage system adopted in this study. In fact, the system proposed makes possible to omit the side, transverse as well as central drainage pipes required in the conventional system, even if its drain capacity and any guideline for design are not available to date. In this circumstance, it is carried out to investigate the correlation between drain capacities and, shapes and posit ions of the columns of the drain board in terms of a variety of water inflows through hydrological model tests. It is shown from the tests that a drain capacity is highly influenced by the shape and the distance between the columns of a drain board in flowing direction, and a round rectangular shape of the columns leads to the highest capacity of drainage. And also, the shorter distance between the columns in flowing direction, the higher drain capacity would be achieved.

2020년 장마는 6월 중순부터 8월 중순까지 전국적으로 평균 687 mm의 강수가 내려, 1973년 이후 역대 2위 강수량을 기록하였으며, 연이은 태풍으로 큰 인명 및 재산 피해가 발생하였다. 특히, 섬진강 및 한탄천 등에서 계획홍수위를 초과하는 홍수로 인해 상당수의 제방이 월류로 인해 붕괴된 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 향후 기후변화에 따른 연평균 강수량이 증가할 것으로 전망되는 가운데 집중호우로 인한 제방 붕괴 피해를 최소화하기 위한 고도화된 기술 개발을 통한 선제적 재발 방지대책이 필요한 시점이다. 한국건설기술연구원은 바이오폴리머라는 새로운 친환경 신소재를 이용하여 제방의 안정성 평가 기술 개발 연구를 수행하고 있다. 이에 안동하천연구센터에서는 실규모에 준하는 제방모형(높이 3 m, 사면경사 1:2, 길이 10 m 이상)을 제작하고, 제방 표면에 바이오폴리머 신소재를 처리하여 전방 월류 흐름 유도에 따른 실규모 제방붕괴실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 신소재 보강 및 무보강 조건에 따른 영상분석 기반 붕괴지연효과를 정량적으로 분석하여 신소재의 성능을 평가하였다. 하지만, 기존에 수행된 실험은 댐 붕괴 흐름과 같이 홍수파가 발생하여 제내지로 퍼져 나가는 형태로 진행되어, 보강공법의 검증에 있어 실제 하천에서 발생하는 횡월류 흐름을 재현하지 못한다는 한계를 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 횡월류 흐름(0.6 m³/s 이상)을 발생시켜 수리실험에 따른 축척효과(scale effect)를 최소화하고, 현장에 대한 충분한 자연성을 재현하는 것을 목표로 하여 실험을 수행하였다. 실험 조건은 1) 신소재가 처리된 식생 제방, 2) 신소재가 처리되지 않은 식생 제방으로 각각의 조건에 따른 횡월류 흐름 및 제방 붕괴를 유도하여 영상분석 기법(이미지 픽셀분석 및 3D 포인트 클라우드 모델링)을 통한 침식 저항에 관한 분석결과를 제시하였다.

In this study, damaged composite laminates were repaired by a stepped patch repair method using halloysite nanotube(HNT) and milled carbon(MC) reinforced composite materials with different amount of the particles. And the mechanical and structural effects of the particles on the interface between the damaged and repair surfaces were analyzed. At this time, after exposing them to a harsh environment of high temperature and humidity for a long time, the recovery rate of the material properties relative to the material forming the damaged plate was compared. As a result, at $70^{\circ}C$ high temperature distilled water, the hygroscopicity of the HNT/GFRP composites was significantly different from that of the MC/GFRP composites. Especially, 0.5, 1 wt. % HNT was added, the moisture absorption rate was the lowest and this was the factor that contributed to the mechanical strength increase. On the other hand, MC showed a high hygroscopic resistance only with a small amount, and the strength was different according to the action direction of the load, and the addition amount was also different.
