In this study, water treatment sludge carbonized with $400^{\circ}C$ was tested as an adsorbent for the removal of Pb and Cd in water. The carbonized sludge was characterized by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF), and surface area analysis. Carbonized sludge exhibited much higher specific surface area and total pore volume than water treatment sludge itself. In batch-type adsorption process, carbonized sludge represented better adsorption performance for Pb than Cd, achieving 90~98% at the concentrations conducted in the experiments. Equilibrium data of adsorption were analyzed using the Freundlich and Langmuir isotherm models. It was seen that both Freundlich and Langmuir isotherms have correlation coefficient $R^2$ value larger than 0.95. The results of studies indicated that carbonized water treatment sludge by heat treatment could be used as an efficient adsorbent for the removal of Pb and Cd from water.

In this study, PU-LMO was made by immobilization of LMO on urethane foam (PU) with using an EVA as a binder. PU-LMO was characterized by using X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optimal ratio of EVA/LMO for preparation of PU-LMO was 0.26 gEVA/gLMO. The adsorption of lithium ions by PU-LMO was found to follow the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The equilibrium data fitted well with Langmuir isotherm model and the maximum removal capacity of lithium ions was 17.09 mg/g. The PU-LMO was found to have a remarkably high selectivity of lithium ions and high adsorption capacity because the distribution coefficient ($K_d$) of lithium ion was higher than those of other metal ions.

This paper presents a reliable numerical procedure for nonlinear time-history analysis of space steel frames subjected to dynamic loads. Geometric nonlinearities of member (P-$\delta$) and frame (P-$\Delta$) are taken into account by the use of stability functions in framed stiffness matrix formulation. The gradual yielding along the member length and over the cross section is included by using a tangent modulus concept and a softening plastic hinge model based on the New-Orbison yield surface. A computer program utilizing the average acceleration method for the integration scheme is developed to numerically solve the equation of motion of framed structure formulated in an incremental form. The results of several numerical examples are compared with those derived from using beam element model of ABAQUS program to illustrate the accuracy and the computational efficiency of the proposed procedure.

The strength of sliding plane is usually assigned on the whole sliding plane with same value in 2D limit equilibrium slope stability method. However, the potential sliding plane is divided into two or three parts which have different sliding resistances. According to the calculation results of 3D slope stability analyses using 4 types of slope cutting models, marginal sliding resistance could affect the safety of slope significantly. In this calculation two kinds of the sliding plane strengths were applied differently to the parts of bottom and margin of the model slope. The effect of marginal resistance was calculated quantitatively. In case of lower sliding resistance of the bottom, the safety factor becomes low in a margin cutting model. However, in case of higher sliding resistance of the bottom, the safety factor decreased slightly in a lower part cutting model and increased in a upper margin cutting model.

In this study, the effects of the inelastic shear behavior of beam-column joint and the vertical distribution of lateral load are evaluated considering higher modes on the response of RC OMRF using the pushover analysis. A structure used for the analysis was a 5-story structure located at site class SB and seismic design category C, which was designed in accordance with KBC2009. Bending moment-curvature relationship for beam and column was identified using fiber model. Also, bending moment-rotation relationship for beam-column joint was calculated using simple and unified joint shear behavior model and moment equilibrium relationship for the joint. The results of pushover analysis showed that, although the rigid beam-column joint overestimated the stiffness and strength of the structure, the inelastic shear behavior of beam-column joint could be neglected in the process of structural design since the average response modification factor satisfied the criteria of KBC2009 for RC OMRF independent to inelastic behavior of joint.

Methane gas hydrate which is considered energy source for the next generation has an urgent need to develop reliable numerical simulator for coupled THM phenomena in the porous media, to minimize problems arising during the production and optimize production procedures. International collaborations to improve previous numerical codes are in progress, but they still have mismatch in the predicted value and unstable convergence. In this paper, FEM code for fully coupled THM phenomena is developed to analyze methane hydrate dissociation in the porous media. Coupled partial differential equations are derived from four mass balance equations (methane hydrate, soil, water, and hydrate gas), energy balance equation, and force equilibrium equation. Five main variables (displacement, gas saturation, fluid pressure, temperature, and hydrate saturation) are chosen to give higher numerical convergence through trial combinations of variables, and they can analyze the whole region of a phase change in hydrate bearing porous media. The kinetic model is used to predict dissociation of methane hydrate. Developed THM FEM code is applied to the comparative study on a Masuda's laboratory experiment for the hydrate production, and verified for the stability and convergence.

Recently, with the growth of software for electromagnetic-thermal analysis, it has been studied that the precise analysis and investigation for cause of the electrical fire using computer simulation is on the basis of theroy for electromagnetic-thermal analysis. But it is very lacking for the precise analysis and investigation of cause for the electrical fire. In this paper, we have simulated the temperature distribution of wire to current and the force between the two conductors according to the current and the distance of the vinyl flat-type electrical wire(600 V, VFF, $2C{\times}$1.25mm^2) using the finite element method(Flux2D) in a overcurrent. And we will present the cause analysis method of electrical fire by experiment for distance between the two conductors according to current and time using large current supply device(Model: EHT_EFAD, Korea) in a overcurrent.

Volatile organic compounds(VOC) present in or generated by many sources, can be toxic, mutagenic or even carcinogenic, so that control of such emissions is significant. The 6 chlorinated organic chemicals as VOC were examined in this study. Prediction of the behavior of VOC on activated carbon beds is an important part of control system design. The objective of this study was to predict gas phase sorption isotherms from physical properties and liquid phase isotherms obtained with the same adsorbent and adsorbate. One of the techniques that was investigated was quantitative structure-activity relationships(QSAR) for the predicition procedures. It was possible to estimate sorption isotherms in the gas phase($a_g$) using either connectivity index, $^2{\chi}$, and the Henry's law coefficient ($H_a$) or the solubility and the equilibrium concentration in the gas phase. As a result of study, the predictive equation based on Freundlich model for $a_g$ was ${\log}\;a_g=0.238\;^2{\chi}+0.573\;{\log}\;H_a+4.330(r^2=0.94)$. Finally, this would provide a potentially useful tool to describe and predict sorption capacity without time-consuming tests.

The propose of this study is to demonstrate how efficiently and accurately the construction stages of cable-stayed bridges are analyzed using the unstrained length method (ULM) in which all unstrained element lengths are determined from a simplified analytical method (Jung et al., 2015). A forward analysis of cable-stayed bridges using the commercial FEA program, MIDAS is sequentially carried out considering the lack of fit force but the ULM is able to analyze a intermediate construction stage directly by taking the corresponding unstrained lengths of the construction stage model simply. The closing load step analysis is achieved by loading the pavement and counter weight forces in reverse. An Incheon bridge model is analyzed using the present ULM and the commercial program, respectively, and the two analysis results are compared.

태풍 루사나 매미에 의한 피해사례를 보면 하천 횡단 구조물 본체가 파괴되는 피해 뿐 만 아니라, 구조물과 제방과의 연결부가 세굴되어 붕괴되는 사례가 많이 발생하였다. 하천설계기준(2009)에는 이러한 보와 제방의 연결부 부분을 연결호안이라 하여 관련 기준을 제시하고 있으나, 설치구간의 길이를 정할 때 하천의 규모나 하도의 특성을 고려하지 못하고 일률적으로 결정하도록 하고 있다. 이에 건설기술연구원에서는 상류 Froude 수와 보 높이를 변수로 하는 연결호안 설치 길이에 대한 실험식(2006)을 제시하였다. 하지만 보 접속부 세굴에 영향을 주는 인자는 상류의 Froude 수와 보의 높이 뿐만 아니라, 상 하류 수위차, 보의 형상, 제방의 재료적 특성 등 많은 요인들이 존재한다. 이 중 본 연구에서는 상 하류 수위차와 보 접속부 세굴 범위의 관계를 파악하고자 한다. 보 접속부 세굴에 대한 수치모의에 앞서 Gill(1972)와 Dongol(1990)이 수행하였던 교대세굴 자료를 바탕으로 Flow-3D의 세굴에의 적합성 및 적용성을 검토하였다(그림 2참고). 검토 결과 수치모의의 입력 변수를 조정함으로써 실험값과 가깝게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 이렇게 조정된 변수를 이용하여, 보 접속부 세굴에 대한 수치모의는 상 하류의 수위차에 대해 다양한 검토를 하기 위해 상류의 수위를 1.0m로 고정한 채하류부의 수위를 0.2~0.8m까지 0.1m간격으로 변화시켰으며, 유사의 대표 입경은 0.63mm로 주문진 표준사를 가정하였다. 모의 시간은 평형세굴심이 발생할 때까지 수행하였고, 난류모델로는 LES(Large Eddy Simulation)를 채택하였다. 모의 결과 상 하류 수위차가 증가할수록 보 하류부 세굴 길이($L_d$)가 증가 하였으며, 세굴의 폭($B_d$) 역시 증가하였다. 그림 3은 수치모의 결과로 세굴이 발생된 제방의 모습을 도시한 것이다.
