Plowable fill is generally a mixture of sand, fly ash, a small amount of cement and water. Sand is the major component of most flowable fill mixes. Marine dredged soil was adopted for flowable fill instead of fly ash. Natural sea sand and in-situ soil were used for comparison. The flow behavior, hardening characteristics, and ultimate strength behavior of flowable fill were investigated. The unconfined compression test necessary to sustain walkability as the fresh flowble fill hardens was determined and the strength at 3-days appeared to correlate well with the water-to-cement ratio. The strength parameters, like cohesion and internal friction angle, was determined along the curing time. The creep test for settlement potential was conducted. Also, potable falling weight deflectometer(PFWD) test has been carried out for elastic modulus of each controlled low strength materials(CLSM). The data presented show that marine dredged soil and in-situ soil can be successfully used in CLSM.

In this study, as part of the practical development of technology for CLSM using pond ash, the characteristics such as flowability, bleeding rate, and strength of the CLSM according to physical properties such as particle size distribution and particulate content of the pond ash were reviewed. As a result of analyzing the properties of the collected pond ash, it was found that the characteristics of density and particle size distribution were different. As a result of evaluating the characteristics of the CLSM for three types of pond ash, it was found that the blending conditions to satisfy the quality stipulated in ACI 229R were different, and mainly affected the particle size distribution characteristics and particulate content of the pond ash. In case of coarse-grained pond ash (PA-3), mixing conditions that satisfy the performance requirements stipulated in ACI 229R were not derived. But it is considered that further review is necessary according to particle size adjustment.

The aims of this study were to determine if flowable composites can be used as pit and fissure sealants without bonding agents. Three flowable composites(Filtek Flow, Tetric Flow, Charmfil Flow) and a filled sealant (Ultraseal XT plus) were used. The pattern of resin tag formation in the four sealant materials were compared using SEM. For the microleakage assessment, 54 extracted human premolar teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups containing 18 premolars each. In each group, a conventional filled sealant and one of the three flowable composites were applied to occlusal fissures. The teeth were thermocycled(1200 cycles between $5^{\circ}{\pm}2^{\circ}C\;and\;55^{\circ}{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ with a dwell time of 30 seconds) and immersed in a 1% methylene blue solution for 48 hours. Each tooth was sectioned and examined to determine the extent of dye penetration. Three flowable composites and a filed sealant showed a similar resin tag formation pattern. The three flowable composites showed significantly more microleakage in each group than the filled sealant. The level of microleakage was similar in the three flowable composites. Flowable composites are not recommended as pit and fissure sealants because more microleakage can occur even when occlural fissures are mechanically widened.

Flowable fills are self-leveling, liquid-like materials, and self-compacting to 95-100% of the maximum unit weight. Benefits of flowable fills include limited required labor, accelerated construction, ready placement at inaccessible locations, and the ability to be manually re-excavated. Applications for flowable fills include utility trenches, building excavations, underground storage tanks, abandoned sewers and utility lines, and filling underground mine shafts The objective of this study is to estimate engineering property of flowable fills made of soil mixed with recycled stylofoam and stabilizer for using geotechnical field. For this study, the uniaxial compression test, flowable test, and model tests were performed. Based on the results of the tests, the following conclusions are : fills made of soil mixed with recycled stylofoam and stabilizer can be used as flowable fills, minimum stabilizer quantity for using flowable fills ranges from 1.0($kN/m^3$) to 1.2 ($kN/m^3$).

The aim of this study was to compared the penetration scores and microleakage levels of flowable resin in comparison to resin-based pit and fissure sealant. A total 120 extracted premolars were used and classified with group I (resin-based pit and fissure sealant), group II (flowable resin), group III (bonding agent + flowable resin), IV (fissurotomy + bonding agent + flowable resin) depending on the materials and the application methods. The penetration scores of the group treated with flowable resin following fissurotomy were similar to those of the group treated with resin-based sealant, but higher compared to those of the other groups treated with flowable resin without fissurotomy or bonding agent. The group treated with flowable resin following fissurotomy also exhibited the lowest microleakage levels. The group treated with resin-based sealant and the one treated with a bonding agent prior to the application of flowable resin showed similar microleakage levels. In conclusion, flowable resin may be applied as a pit and fissure sealant, and its application along with fissurotomy could increase the penetration scores.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the financial strength of general insurers by using A.M. Best's rating technique focusing on quantitative standards. A quantitative evaluation of fifteen larger general insurers' financial strength and operating performance relative to the Best's top group is carried out. The quantitative evaluation is done in 5 key areas; growth, efficiency, profitability, safety and liquidity. The results show that there is a big gap between domestic large insurers and American insures in all areas except stable growth of operations. Therefore, domestic insurers have to strive to strengthen financial soundness through profitability and should increase the capacity to retain more commercial business and reinsurance in order to become global players.

현재 대부분 사용되는 지하매설물용 뒤채움재는 다짐공법을 많이 사용하고 있으며, 실제로 이러한 방법은 부적절한 다짐으로 인해 침하 및 내구성 저하로 인해 파손을 초래하는 경우가 많다. 이러한 문제를 해결 할 수 있는 하나의 대안으로 유동성 뒤채움재를 이용할 수 있다. 유동성 뒤채움재는 초기 유동성, 시간에 따른 자기 강도 발현 무다짐공법 적용 등 많은 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 현장발생토사, 정수장슬러지 및 폐타이어분말 등 재활용 재료를 이용한 유동성 뒤채움재의 기본물성을 평가하였다. 각각의 재활용재료에 대한 입도 및 비중을 평가하였고, 최적배합설계를 결정하였으며, 모형 시험과 유한요소 해석을 위한 기본 물성값을 위해 일축압축시험, 삼축압축시험, 공진주시험 등을 수행하였다. 최적배합설계를 산정하는 과정에서 수행한 실험중 대표적인 시험으로 자가수평능력 및 자기다짐등에 필요한 유동성을 판단하는 Flow시험(ASTM D 6133) 결과 기준으로 정한 20cm이상의 값을 얻을 수 있었으며 일축압축강도의 경우 시공 후 유지 보수가 용이한 강도인 $3.0kg/cm^2{\sim}5.6kg/cm^2$이하로 설계하였으며 28일재령 일축압축강도 결과 $3.15{\sim}3.74kg/cm^2$라는 유지보수에 적당한 결과값을 나타내었다. 이 배합이 현장에서 사용이 가능하다는 것으로 판단하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석를 통하여 현장에서 사용하였을 때 관의 변형과 관에 작용하는 하중변화를 확인하고 현장모형시험과 유한요소해석 간의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 현장 모형 시험은 현장과 비슷하게 제작된 모형을 이용하였으며 최대한 현장과 비슷한 조건에서 뒤채움재를 타설과정 중과 타설이 완료된 상태에서 7일 양생 후 하중재하와 같이 두가지 경우에서 수직 수평토압, 관의 수직 수평변위, 관의 종단변형을 측정하였다. 유한요소해석 프로그램은 Midas GTS를 이용하여 실시하였으며 관의 변형률, 유효응력을 측정하여 규명하였다.

The aim of the research is, for normal strength range concrete mixture, to evaluate the fluidity development and robustness of the mixture depending on various water reducers. Although a usage of water reducer has been essential to make a concrete under the current conditions of worsen aggregate quality, selection of appropriate performance of water reducer is significant. Hence, in this research, regarding the normal strength range mortar, three different performance of water reducers were evaluated in aspects of securing fluidity, and robustness, rheological behaviors. Additionally, for the concrete mixture, the fluidity change was evaluated depending on unit water content for each different water reducer, and the water reducing performance with manufacturing cost was compared and analyzed. By the result of this research, it is expected to provide a case of determining appropriate kind of water reducer and to contribute on conditions of securing sufficient fluidity with stable quality and economical advantage.

저조한 해운시황과 고유가가 지속되고 이들 변수의 변동성이 커지면서 두 변수가 해운업체의 영업수익성에 미치는 영향도 커지고 있다. 금융위기 이후 급감한 해운 수요는 유럽 재정위기가 겹치며 쉽사리 증가하지 못하고 있는 반면, 호황기에 발주된 선박들이 대거 인도되어 선복량 공급은 꾸준히 증가하면서 선복량 수급 불균형이 시황 회복의 발목을 잡고 있다. 또한, 해운 운임과 유가의 변동성 확대는 해운시황 침체와 함께 불확실성을 증대시켰고, 그에 따라 해운업체 영업실적의 불확실성도 확대되었다. 뿐만 아니라 이들 변수의 움직임에 의해 영업수익성이 좌우되는 모습을 보이고 있다. 이에 해운 운임 및 연료유 가격과 해운업체 영업수익성의 상관관계를 분석적 관점에서 살며보고 이를 바탕으로 2013년 해운업체의 실적에 대해 전망해 보는 동시에 유동성 상황을 점검해 보았다. 다음은 한국기업평가에서 발표한 "해운업계 실적 전망과 유동성 점검"의 주요 내용을 요약 정리한 것이다.
