Steel Plate for Rebar Connection was recently developed to splice rebars in delayed slab-wall joints in high-rise building, slurry wall-slab joints, temporary openings, etc. It consists of several couplers and a thin steel plate with shear key. Cyclic loading tests on slab-wall joints were conducted to verify structural behavior of the joints having Steel Plate for Rebar Connection. For comparison, joints with Rebend Connection and without splices were also tested. The joints with Steel Plate for Rebar Connection showed typical flexural behavior in the sequence of tension re-bar yielding, sufficient flexural deformation, crushing of compression concrete, and compression rebar buckling. However, the joints with Rebend Connection had more bond cracks in slabs faces and spalling in side cover-concrete, even though elastic behavior of the joints was similar to that of the joints with Steel Plate for Re-bar Connection. Consequently, the joints with Rebend Connection had less strengths and deformation capacities than the joints with Steel Plate for Re-bar Connection. In addition, stiffness of the joints with Rebend Connection degraded more rapidly than the other joints as cyclic loads were applied. This may be caused by low elastic modulus of re-straightened rebars and restraightening of kinked bar. For two types of diameters (13mm and 16mm) and two types of grades (SD300 and SD400) of rebars, the joints with Steel Plate for Rebar Connection had higher strength than nominal strength calculated from actual material properties. On the contrary, strengths of the joints with Rebend Connection decreased as bar diameter increased and as grade becames higher. Therefore, Rebend Connection should be used with caution in design and construction.

This study performed research for improvement on basic concept of PBD applying suitable design method before and after LB-DECK composition. According to study, in this case, before composition, it can reduce minuteness cracks by increasing bending tensile strength utilizing polymer concrete, can expect sensuous effect, improve durability as to low permeability, and was evaluated that can reduce covering depth according as it. Also, because LB-DECK baseplate that apply the empirical design method composite is superior load resistance ability than general baseplate, safety is increased, it is expected to secure constructibility and economic performance at the same time because reinforcement arrangement method and reinforcement amount are fixed even if span effective span is increased at ultimate strength design method application.

For an evaluation of service life in RC(Reinforced Concrete) structures, deterministic method and probabilistic method considering random variables of design parameters are usually adopted. In the work, surface chloride contents which vary with distance from sea shore and height are investigated from the previous research literature surveys, and they are considered for service life estimation. Through the analysis, the probabilistic method shows much lower results, which is due to variations of design parameters and very low intended durability failure. In the deterministic method, the structures within 250m and higher than 60m are evaluated to be free from chloride attack. In the probabilistic method, those higher than 60m in all the region and higher than 40m and 250m from sea shore are evaluated to satisfy the service life.

Geosynthetic reinforced earth wall was introduced about 20 years ago and many structures have been constructed. Especially, segmental concrete panel facing and friction tie system are the most popular system in Korea, and this friction tie was composed of high tenacity PET filament and LDPE(Low Density Polyethylene) sheath. Due to the lack of direct-test results, design coefficients of friction tie (creep reduction factor) had been determined by quoting the previous and the foreign reference data. This is an unreasonable fact for the use of friction ties. In this study, the creep tests were performed to evaluate the creep behavior of friction tie, and the reduction factor of creep was calculated for the correct design of geosynthetic reinforced earth retaining walls. From the test results, finally it was found that the allowable creep strength of friction tie is 60% of Tult during service life, and creep reduction factor is 1.67 for each grade of friction ties.

Reinforcing steel work plays an important role in terms of its structural performance or weight of construction cost for reinforced concrete structures. Precise estimation of re-bar quantity gives a basis for managing the reinforcing steel work effectively. However, the estimation process is still performed ineffectively based upon the expert's experience or manpower in spite of the advanced technology or improvement efforts. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to develop a prototype system for taking-off the quantity of reinforcing steel bars quickly and accurately in an order consistent with the specific members identified on the drawings. An estimate algorithm considering the connection, settlement and coating thickness of re-bars was suggested regarding to their replacement conditions which places more emphasis on constructibility. Also, this system produces the shop drawings automatically with the calculation results.

본 연구는 3년(2008~2011년)간의 연구기간동안 저탄장에서 발생하는 유량과 수질농도를 분석하여 저탄장의 비점오염 유출특성을 파악하고자 하였다. 연구지점은 강원도 태백시에 위치한 가행 광산으로써 광산작업으로 인해 생산되는 비축탄(석탄과 광재)을 저장하는 대규모 저탄시설이다. 저탄장에는 강우로 인해 발생하는 강우유출수의 오염물질 배출량을 줄이기 위해 콘크리트 배수로와 침사지 시설이 설치되어 있다. 침사지를 거쳐 하천으로 유입되기 전에 강우유출수의 모니터링을 위해 모니터링 시설(유량계, 자동수질시료채취기, 강우량계)을 설치하여 유량과 농도를 측정하였다. 또한 정확한 강우량 측정을 위해 자기우량계를 설치하였다. 연구결과 강우에 의해 유출이 발생한 최저 강우량은 6.0 mm 인 것으로 나타났으며, 강우사상의 강우량은 6.0~248.4 mm의 범위로 나타났다. 이때 평균 강우강도는 0.6~13.1 mm/hr 인 것으로 나타났으며, 강우에 발생한 강우유출수의 유출률은 0.02~0.40으로 나타났다. 저탄장의 경우 저탄장의 표면을 비닐 캔버스로 덮어두기 때문에 불투수층이 많아 6.0 mm 정도의 적은양의 강우가 발생해도 유출이 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 각 강우사상의 EMC 농도는 SS 6.5~712.3 mg/L, $COD_{Cr}$ 11.6~263.9 mg/L, $COD_{Mn}$ 3.4~106.8 mg/L, $BOD_5$ 1.0~56.0 mg/L, TN 0.145~5.600 mg/L, TP 0.101~2.526 mg/L, DOC 0.6~22.0 mg/L로 나타났다. 저탄장에서 측정된 수질농도는 기존 가행 광산에 관한 연구에 비해 SS 농도가 낮게 산정 되었으며, 이는 저탄장에 설치되어 있는 침사지 시설의 영향인 것으로 판단된다. 본 연구의 결과는 저탄장에서 발생하는 비점오염원의 유출특성을 파악하고, 모델링이나 환경정책에 필요한 기초자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 강우량, 면적, 피복율 또는 침사지 시설 등의 영향에 대한 추가적인 모니터링을 통한 다각적인 분석의 연구가 진행되어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

Since the aging of coastal structures have been increased, the researches about the reinforcements of the existing aged structures are needed. Especially, the existing armor units placed on rubble mound structures should satisfy the stability against the increased design wave conditions. However the researches about these design problems have not been performed. In this study, the hydraulic model tests to investigate the stability number about the additionally placed armor unit were conducted. The main armor unit is a Tetrapod. The test results showed that the stability number (Kd) for additionally placed armor units(Tetrapod) increased up to maximum 10% comparing with that for 2 layers tetrapod (Kd = 8) within these test conditions with the pattern placing for existing armor layers and the stable armor layer slope for the non overtopping condition.

도시의 개발은 불투수면의 증가, 토지이용의 변화, 용수 수요 증가를 초래하였고, 최근에는 기후변화 양극화 현상으로 도심내 물순환체계를 더욱 왜곡시키는 문제를 초래하였다. 1962년부터 서울의 도심지가 본격적으로 개발되기 시작하면서 7.8%였던 불투수율이 2010년에는 50%까지 증가하였다. 토지의 피복상태가 숲과 흙일 때는 강우의 10%는 하천으로, 토양 흡수는 50%, 증발이 40%가량 된다. 보통 토양에 흡수된 물은 토양층에서 머물렀다가 중간유출되어 하천으로 유입되거나 지하수로 전환된다. 그러나 개발로 인하여 아스팔트나 콘크리트로 포장된 경우 55%가 하천으로 유입되고 토양으로 흡수되는 양은 15% 정도로 강우가 급격하게 유출되어 빠져나가 버린다. 도시 불투수면적의 증가는 단순히 치수와 이수의 문제뿐만 아니라 도심의 하천 및 녹지공간에 조성되어 있는 생태계 유지에 필요한 최소한의 수량인 생태용수 확보마저 위협하고 있다. 도심 하천의 환경생태유량 확보는 하천의 정상적인 기능을 유지할 뿐만 아니라 하천의 자정 능력을 향상하며, 수생생물의 서식환경을 보존에 기여하므로 도심의 자연성 회복에 있어 매우 중요하다. 도시 생태환경은 녹지의 단절과 파편화로 연속성을 확보하지 못하고 있는데, 이렇게 단절되고 파편화된 생태계를 연결하여 생태축을 확보하면 도시 생태계의 건강성을 증진시킬 수 있다. 대부분의 도시에서 관리하고 있는 가로수 및 띠녹지 등 녹지공간(그린 네트워크, Green Network)을 활용하여 수원 함양이나 수질정화 기능(블루 네트워크, Blue Network)을 부여하면 녹지와 수자원을 연결한 그린-블루 네트워크를 형성하여 도시 생태용수확보에도 기여할 뿐만 아니라 나아가 도심 하천의 자연성 회복에도 기여할 것으로 기대된다. 본 연구는 도시의 가로수와 띠녹지를 활용하여 빗물저장 기능과 침투기능을 확대하기 위해 기존에 녹지 및 공원 관리 차원에서 가로수 도시계획이 수립되고 관련 사업이 진행되어 온 현행 제도상의 문제점을 검토하여 제도적 개선 방안을 제안하는 것에 목적을 둔다.

As structures are getting super-rise and large-sized, introducing the construction methods such as prefabrication of bar-meshes and complex method are being actively discussed to pursue the high quality of reinforced concrete, the simplification of field works, and the reduction of duration, as well as the study on how to connect reinforcing rods, which occurs while applying the same methods, is in progress Also, the pressure welded joint is a kind of method that heats the ends of reinforced bars locally and joint them, and after the pressure welding, the vulnerable part in the reinforced bar occur. Thus, in the construction field, the throughout quality control is necessary because of the delayed duration and the lowered construct ability. In this study, of the traditional lap splice method and the mechanical splice one, the screw coupler, we tried to look into through experiments the prefabrication method of bar-meshes, a typical joint method usually used for the joint parts for PSC structures applying the reinforced bar with its big diameter, and a newly-developed up-set coupler method. And we also examined the characteristic of tensile.

A new type of reinforced earth wall(REW) system is developed with vegetated facing which provides proper environment for long-term vegetation and also applicable to high retaining wall system. Vegetated retaining wall is a green alternative for retaining walls and an effective way to reduce heat island effect than conventional block or concrete systems. Several construction sites using vegetated facing is observed to monitor adaptation state of vegetation and estimate surface temperature of wall facing over two years. It was observed that a number of plants including Siberian chrysanthemum adapt well to the inside of the facing blocks because vegetation bag helps to keep a proper condition for vegetation. According to the results using thermographic camera, average surface temperature of vegetated facing is higher for all ranges of coverage ratio of vegetation. The increment of average surface temperature of vegetated facing is larger than that of non-vegetated facing when the air temperature rises, and vice versa.
