Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag from massively produced steel slag has been used in road bases and subbases, hot mix asphalt, and landfill. Electric arc furnace oxidizing slag contains iron (15%~30%) and has a high density of 3.0~3.7 ton/m3. Depending on the type and amount of concrete aggregates, the radiation-shielding characteristics can vary. Therefore, aggregates of electric arc furnace oxidizing slag can be considered for the production of radiation-shielding concrete. The experimental design of this study is experiments on Compressive strength experiments, X-ray irradiation experiments, and experiments related to the unit volume weight were carried out on hardened concrete. This experiment compared the performance evaluation of radiation shielding of concrete using electric arc furnace oxidizing slag.

최근 콘크리트 보호 재료는 코팅을 이용하는 과거의 방법에서 함침을 이용하는 기법으로 전환하였다. 이중 발수제는 콘크리트의 표면의 특성을 변화시키는 것으로 친수성의 콘크리트를 소수성 물질을 결합시켜 물에 의한 젖음을 방어하는 것으로 콘크리트에 사용하였을 경우 콘크리트의 고유한 표면 장력을 작게 변화시키고 장력이 큰 물질 중의 하나인 물의 흡수를 방어하게 한다. 본 실험은 발수제의 성능 평가를 위하여 다공질의 재료인 콘크리트의 접촉각을 측정하여 그 변화를 관찰하였으며, 발수제들의 우수한 기능 중의 하나인 통기성을 시편의 중량 감소로 측정하였다. 발수제로 n-octyl ethoxy silane을 사용한 콘크리트 시편의 흡수 능력은 사용하지 않은 것의 약 10% 정도로 측정되었으며 시편의 수분 중량 감소는 7일 동안 90~130%로 관찰되어 통기성이 유지되어 콘크리트의 강도 유지에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 겉보기 접촉각은 처리하지 않은 시편에서 24~33$^{\circ}$로 측정되었으나 처리된 시편의 최초면에서 130~141$^{\circ}$이었으며 2mm의 연마면에서는 127~132$^{\circ}$로 측정되어 콘크리트 표면 장력 변화가 유지되고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Concrete is considered to be one of the excellent and versatile shielding material and is widely used for the radiation shielding materials. This paper aims to study mechanical properties of concrete by using normal cement, natural and heavyweight aggregate and their radiation shielding effects through radiation transmission tests.

The demand for lightweight and high-strength materials is increasing. However, studies on the bond of concrete and reinforcing bars for high-strength lightweight concrete with a compressive strength of 120 MPa and a unit weight of 20 kN/m³ to structural members are lacking. Therefore, in this paper, 108 specimens of high-strength lightweight concrete with a compressive strength of 120 MPa and a unit weight of about 20 kN/m³ were fabricated, a direct pull-out test was performed, and the bond characteristics were evaluated by comparing the test results with design code. Compared to the decrease in unit weight, the solid bubble shows relatively little reduction in compressive strength and modulus of elasticity. It was f ound to have larger slip and parameter values than concrete with low compressive strength and unit weight.

The objective of this study is to examine the drying shinkage and autogenuous shrinkage strains of heavyweight magnetite concrete. As a main parameters, cement was partially replaced by fly ash (FA) from 5% to 35%. The measured shrinkage strains were compared with predictions obtained from CEB-FIP equations and Yang et al.'s model. Test results showed that the magnitite of the autogenous and total shrinkage strains of heavyweight concrete slightly increased as the amount of fly ash increases up to 15%, beyond which the strains tended to decrease. The CEB-FIP equations considerably underestimated the shrinkage behavior of heavyweight concrete, indicating that this trend was more notable with the age. On the other hand, Yang et al.'s model predicted accurately the shrinkage of heavyweight concrete.

The concrete median barrier used currently in South Korea was developed the impact level of SB5-B(270kJ). However, the impact level of SB6(420kJ) should be considered in many placed with the increased accident of heavy vehicles. In order to increase the impact resistance of newly developed concrete median barrier, the computer simulation was conducted before real field test. For the accurate behavior of concrete, the parameter, such as impact vehicle, concrete cover depth and deterioration, was important. In this paper, a parametric study was conducted depending on vehicle curb weight, concrete cover depth and level of deterioration. The impact resistance of concrete median barrier was severely changed depending on vehicle curb weight and concrete cover depth. Furthermore, the impact resistance of concrete median barrier was also decreased due to deterioration of concrete, therefore the repair and rehabilitation should be conducted for damaged concrete depending on deterioration level. Therefore, vehicle curb weight, cover depth of concrete structures and deterioration level of concrete should be carefully considered for conducting analysis of concrete structure to vehicle collision.

원자력시설의 콘크리트 표면제염 및 절단을 효과적으로 수행하기 위해서는 먼저 방사성물질이 제염구역의 외부로 누출되지 않도록 작업구역을 비방사성 구역과 분리하고, 국부적으로 오염된 콘크리트 표면을 제염하는 기술, 해체 절단하는 기술 및 경제적인 방법으로 방사성물질의 확산을 최소화하는 분진제거 기술 등이 개발되어야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 원자력시설의 콘크리트 표면제염 및 절단시 발생되는 콘크리트 분진처리 필터시스템을 개발하기 위하여, 중량 및 고밀도 콘크리트 내부로의 세슘 및 스트론튬 핵종의 침투깊이 실험을 수행하였으며, 다중 사이클론을 이용하여 DOP 에어로졸 및 콘크리트 표면절단 장비인 scabbier에 의해 발생한 중량 및 고밀도 콘크리트 분진의 특성을 분석하고 포집효율 성능시험을 수행하였다. 또한 사이클론 성능평가 프로그램을 작성하여 사이클론의 포집효율을 예상하였으며 이를 실험값과 비교하였다.

The many countries are facing the shortage of natural resources, and the supply of aggregates are being exhausted. To consider this situation a variety of studies were performed for the development of alternative resources. In particular, high density filler material was used for shielding radioactive waste, large amount of natural aggregates are required in order to produce filler material. Also, in order to improve the shielding performance of filler material, it is required to increase the density of the filler material. Therefore, in this study was carried out to provide basic data for expanding the feasibility of high density industrial waste resource as aggregate in heavyweight concrete. From the test results, OPC case, concrete strength decreased by using heavyweight waste glass as fine aggregate, however, it is improved by using mineral admixture as binder. Therefore, when the heavyweight waste glass and steel slag are applied to heavyweight concrete, it is desirable to use mineral admixture, especially to use BFS than FA. Meanwhile, when the steel slag was replaced as coarse aggregate of heavyweight concrete, elasticity of modulus and radiation shielding performance can be improved owing to high density of steel slag.

The present study evaluates the validity of different equations specified in code provisions and proposed by the existing researchers to predict the concrete tensile capacities (direct tensile strength, splitting tensile strength and modulus of rupture) using a comprehensible database including 361 lightweight concrete (LWC), 1,335 normal-weight concrete (NWC) and 221 heavy-weight concrete (HWC) specimens. Most of the equations express the concrete tensile strengths as a function of its compressive strength based on the limited NWC concrete test data. However, the present database shows that the concrete tensile capacities are significantly affected by its unit weight as well. As a result, the inconsistency between experiments and predictions by the different models increases when the concrete unit weight is below 2,100 kg/$m^3$ and concrete compressive strength is above 50 MPa. On the other hand, new models proposed by the present study considering the concrete unit weight predict the tensile strengths of concrete with more accuracy.
