Piping, a common form of internal embankment erosion, is caused by progressive movement of soil particles through an embankment. The phenomenon commonly occurs with precursory signs of development of fractures in dam structures, but also occurs without any noticeable signs in dams that showed satisfactory dam performance for several years, due to dissolution of soluble material in an embankment. While piping accounts for nearly 50% of the causes for dam failure, few studies have been made for systematic evaluation of the phenomenon. In this study, we attempted to monitor the changes in electrical resistivities of fill-dam material while a saddle dam is dismantled for the construction of emergency spillways of Daechung dam. Two artificial subhorizontal boreholes were drilled into the embankment structure to simulate piping along the two artificial flow channels. Monitoring of changes in electrical resistivity showed an increase in resistivity values during piping. Thus, the investigation of resistivity over time could be an effective method for piping prediction.

In this study, a new paint which is able to resist the cavitation erosion is tried to be developed by using urethane added with polyol such as poly propylene glycol(PPG), poly carbonate diol(PCD), polycaprolactone polyol (PCL-1), and poly caprolactone-tetramethylene gylcolether polyol(PCL-2). The new paint synthesized by adding polyol was characterized with physical properties and resistivity to cavitation erosion. Among polyol, the prepolymer added with PCD showed high hardness and wear resistance. However, due to too high in viscosity, the prepolymer added with PCL-1 was selected as a paint. The paint added with PCL-1 showed high resistivity to cavitation erosion and its surface was monitored by using Scanning Electron Microscope.

Metakaolin is a cementitious material for producing high-strength concrete. This material is now used as substitute for silica-fume. In this paper, we did the mechanical and durability test such as compressive/tensile/flexural strength test, chloride ion diffusion, chemical attack and repeated freezing and thawing, carbonation test. In the mechanical tests, 10~15% for binder is optimum substitute rate. And, in the chloride ion diffusion test, according to the increase of substitute of metakaolin & silica-fume for binder, the diffusion coefficient was more reduced. In the chemical attack test, by the filler effect of fine powder such metakaolin and silica-fume, the resistance is more excellent than normal concrete. In the other durability test, the concrete using metakaolin also compared with those of silica-fume substitute concrete. Through these tests, we recognized that metakaolin can be used as a substitute for silica-fume.

The durability factors of concrete has been researched by many researchers. Among the chemical ingression by acid, alkali, or salt, specially the ingression by sulfate has been actively studied and reported. Generally, for the oil type chemical, it is reported to cause the excessive expansion of cement mortar and further to cause the collapse, while there was no enough research on influence of oil type, relationship with microstructure of mortar, and collapse pattern. Therefore, in this research, using the various oils from general market, the degradation properties of the mortar mixtures with various mix designs were evaluated. according to the experiment, Bio diesel damaged worst and the mix design with less cement content showed the worst damage against oils.

최근 들어 국내에서는 도서지방을 잇는 연육교와 해상구간을 통과하는 대형교량의 건설이 활발히 진행되면서 해상조건에서 발생하는 교량세굴에 대처하기 위한 연구의 중요성이 대두되고 있다. 그러나 아직까지 해상조건의 세굴현상을 파악하기 위한 적절한 세굴평가 기준이 제시되어 있지 않고 대부분 자연 하천교량 기준에 의해 해상교량의 세굴평가가 이루어지고 있는 실정이다. 교량에서 발생하는 세굴 현상은 교량 기초의 안정성에 치명적인 영향을 줄 수 있고 나아가서는 교량의 붕괴 원인이 될 수 있다. 또한 교량기초 지반의 지지력 부족이나 적정피복두께 결여 등의 원인으로 구조적인 문제점을 초래할 수 있다. 해상교량의 경우에는 조석에 의한 왕복류, 파 흐름의 상호작용, 점착성 지반 등 세굴에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 요인들이 복합적으로 작용하므로 교량 건설 전부터 해상조건을 반영한 다각적인 세굴검토가 요구된다. 본 연구는 강한 조석류가 작용하고 넓은 조간대를 형성하고 있는 인천대교의 세굴심을 합리적으로 산정하기 위하여 다학제적인 연구를 시도한 것이다. 본 연구에서는 해상조건의 침식유발특성을 파악하기 위한 연구로서 수치모형 및 수리모형 실험을 수행하고, 지반종류에 따른 침식저항능력을 파악하기 위한 세굴률 실험을 수행하였다. 더불어 인천대교 건설현장에 타설되어 있는 대구경 시험말뚝에 대한 실시간 세굴모니터링을 실시하여 얻은 현장관측 자료를 검증자료로 사용함으로써 종합적인 세굴검토를 통하여 다학제적이고 합리적인 해상교량의 세굴심을 평가하고자 한다.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the sulfate attack resistance of concrete using the EAF(electric arc furnace) Slag as fine aggregate. In order to figure out the effects of magnesium sulfate solution on the durability of concrete using the EAF Slag as fine aggregate, the experiments for the immerging test in the 10% magnesium sulfate solution was executed by selecting factors such as aging processes, replacement ratio(0, 10, 20, 30, 50%), and duration of immerging. The specimens were made with various EAF slag replacements for fine aggregates and with W/C ratio fixed 0.45. compressive strength and S.D.F(Sulfate Deterioration Factor), weight change, and SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) were tested. From the test results, EAF slag aggregate treated with accelerated aging is better than treated with air aging. The compressive strength and resistance to the sulfate attack is slightly improved with an increase in the EAF slag aggregate treated with accelerated aging replacement for aggregate.

도시주민생활에 없어서는 안 될 주요한 사회간접자본시설인 하수도, 하수도처리시설 등의 콘크리트 구조물에 대한 부식열화는 현재 세계 각국에서 급속히 진행되고 있다. 콘크리트 구조물은 반영구적인 것으로 인식하고 있다. 그러나 각종 열화 인자에 의해 구조물의 사용수명은 급속히 단축된다. 하수시설 내에서는 황산이외에도 다양한 염류에 의하여 콘크리트구조물이 부식될 가능성이 있지만 황산에 의한 부식이 가장 대상범위가 넓고 부식속도가 빠르기 때문에 부식현상이 발견되면 급속하고 적절한 대응조치가 필요하다. 열화예측결과 및 구조물의 공용연수를 감안한 신뢰성이 높은 공법의 도입이 필요하며 이러한 조건에 적합한 유기재료와 무기재료의 복합 특성을 발휘하는 갱생공법에 사용되는 주요 소재의 실험적 특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과 경질염화비닐(이하 프로파일)은 내외수압 저항성에서 3분간 $1kgf/cm^2$의 압력에도 누수 및 압력의 이동이 없었으며 약품침지에 따른 중량변화량이 $0.2mg/cm^2$이하로 산에 대한 변화량은 거의 없었다. 주입재인 모르타르의 산성에 대한 저항성은 일반 콘크리트에 비해 우수하였으며 기존 모르타르에 비해 비확선성 또한 우수하였다. 장거리압송시험은 200m까지 안정적인 압송이 가능하여 이 기술에 필요한 요구 성능을 확보한 것으로 나타났다.

In order to obtain glasses appropriate to the thick film copper conductors, nine glasses based on both lead borosilicate and leadless borosilicate systems were made and the applicabilities of them were examined in conjunction with the requirements for thick film copper conductors. As the results, it was found that all the glasses are fitted to provide suitable sheet resistance, solderability and solder leach resistance to thick film copper conductors. However, it was turned out that only the lead borosilicate based glasses worked for getting usable aged adhesion strength of copper thick film to the alumina substrate, while copper conductor films made from the other glasses had poor aged adhesion strengths. Particularly cuprous oxide added lead borosilicate glass was considered as one of the most favorable glasses for manufacturing thick film copper conductors.

Resistivity monitoring is based on the fact that a change in the porosity leads to the changes in water content and fine particles, which alter the electrical resistivity. At every embankment dam, internal erosion always occurs as time passes. The internal erosion generally develops into piping over a long time by backward erosion and concentrated leak, and finally leads to dam failure. Resistivity is known to be very sensitive to the changes in porosity in embankment dams. Thus resistivity monitoring is a reasonable method to find out the leakage zone. However, resistivity is strongly influenced by seasonal variation of temperature, TDS of reservoir water and water level. In this paper. we first installed electrodes permanently at the center of the crest. The electrical resistivity monitoring data was acquired every 6 hours from Apr. 3, 2011 to July. 31, 2012. To analyze the characteristics of monitoring data, each resistivity data was calculated from up to 2,950 data sets. The result indicated a seasonal resistivity variation due to related temperature. Finally, a quantitative method to estimate porosities of the embankment dam from the resistivity monitoring data was analyzed. The applicability and reliability were verified and the importance of electrical resistivity monitoring for obtaining reliable result was emphasized.

In case of constructing the concrete structures under seawater environment, the concrete suffers from deterioration due to penetration of various ions such as chloride, sulfate and magnesium in seawater. Tn the present study, Immersion tests with artificial seawater were carried out to investigate the resistance to seawater attack of antiwashout underwater concrete. From the results of compressive strength, it was found that blended cement concrete due to mineral admixtures such as fly ash(FA) and ground granulated blast-furnace slag(SGC), were superior to ordinary portland cement concrete with respect to the resistance to seawater attack. Moreover, XRD analysis indicated that the formed reactants of ordinary portland cement paste by sulfate and magnesium ions led to the deterioration of concrete. As expected, however, the blended cements with FA or SGC have a good resistance to seawater attack. This paper would discuss the mechanism of seawater deterioration and benefical effects of antiwashout underwater concretes with mineral admixtures.
