Neutrons are generated by the nuclear reaction, which is absorbed into the concrete wall and causes the activation during cyclotron operation. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of neutron activation and radiative concrete on concrete type. This experiment used Monte Carlo simulation and RESRAD model. The results of the experiment showed that the higher the content of Fe in concrete, the greater the shielding rate. The effect of $^{56}Fe(n,\;2np)^{54}Mn$ reaction on workers is also increased. However, radioactive nuclides have low activity and have very low impact on workers. Radioactive concrete should be treated as general wastes with less than its self-disposal tolerance level, and it should be recycled to the surface such as road repair rather than landfill to minimize the effect of $^{14}C$.

After dismantled, Mireuksajiseoktap(Stone pagoda of Mireuksa Templesite) is being in the stage of restoration design. Now, different ways - producing restoration model, a 3 dimension simulation - have been requested to make more detailed and clearer restoration design prior to confirmation of its restoration design and actual restoration carry-out. This thesis proposes the way to build the detailed model for better restoration plan using extensively-used Reverse Engineering technique and Rapid Prototyping. It also introduces each stage such as a 3-dimension actual measurement, building database, a 3-dimension simulation etc., to build a desirable model. On the top of that, this thesis reveals that after dismantled, MIruksaji stone pagoda's interior and exterior were not constructed into pieces but wholeness, so that its looks can be grasped in more virtually and clearly. Secondly, this thesis makes a 3-dimension study on the 2-dimension design possible by acquiring basic materials about a 3-dimension design. Thirdly, the individual feature of each member like the change of member location can be comprehended, considering comparing analysis and joint condition of member. Lastly, in the structural perspective this thesis can be used as reference materials for structure reinforcement design by grasping destructed aspects of stone pagoda and weak points of the structure. In dismantlement-repair and restoration work of cultural properties that require delicate attention and exactness, there may be evitable errors on time and space in building reinforcement and restoration design based on a 2-dimension plan. Especially, the more complicate and bigger the subject is, the more difficult an analysis about the status quo and its delicate design are. A series of pre-review, based on the 3-dimension data according to actual measurement, can be one of the effective way to minimize the possibility that errors about time - space happen by building more delicate plan and resolving difficulties.

Cryogenic cutting technology is one of the most suitable technologies for dismantling nuclear facilities due to the fact that a secondary waste is not generated during the cutting process. In this paper, the feasibility of cryogenic cutting technology was investigated by using a computer simulation. In the computer simulation, a hybrid method combined with the SPH (smoothed particle hydrodynamics) method and the FE (finite element) method was used. And also, a penetration depth equation, for the design of the cryogenic cutting system, was used and the design variables and operation conditions to cut a 10 mm thickness for steel were determined. Finally, the main components of the cryogenic cutting system were manufactures on the basis of the obtained design variables and operation conditions.

일반적으로 하천은 상류에서 하류로 흐르지만, 하구에서 일어나는 해안으로부터의 염수의 역류 혹은 상류에서 홍수 발생 시 순간적으로 나타나는 역류 등 주 흐름을 거스르는 흐름이 종종 발생하는데 이는 예상치 못한 피해를 가져올 수 있으므로 최대한 방지해야 한다. 즉, 양방향 흐름이 일어나는 지역을 단방향 흐름으로 바꿔줄 수 있는 수리 구조물의 설치가 필요하다. 역방향 흐름을 제어하는 대표적인 예로는 보가 있는데, 보는 충분한 수위 확보뿐만 아니라 하구에서 역류하는 해수를 방지하는 역할도 한다. 다만, 상류와 하류를 수직적으로 분리함에 따라 물고기의 자유로운 이동을 제한하는 등 생태계를 단절시키는 부작용이 나타날 뿐만 아니라, 최근 정부의 정책에 따라 세종보, 죽산보 등의 보 해체 결정이 이루어지면서 이를 대체할 방안이 필요하다. 따라서 이번 연구에서는 수직적인 구조물이 아닌 수평적인 수리 구조물을 고안함으로써 생태계에 큰 영향을 주지 않으면서 가장 효과적으로 양방향 흐름을 제어할 수 있는 구조물 설계 모형을 탐구해보았다. 구조물 설계 아이디어는 심장의 판막에서 고안하였다. 판막은 특정한 방향성을 갖는 구조로 이루어져 있으면서 혈액의 역류를 방지하는 기관으로, 비슷한 방식으로 하천에도 특정 각도를 갖는 구조물의 설치를 통해 단방향 흐름을 유도할 수 있다고 판단하였다. 실제 하천 규모에서의 실험은 불가능하다고 판단, 전산 유체 프로그램 OpenFOAM을 이용하여 가상 수로의 모델링을 진행하였다. 얇은 판 형태의 흐름 제어 구조물을 수로 측면에 각각 설치 후, 같은 조건에서 정방향 흐름과 역방향 흐름에 대해 각각 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 이때, 두 흐름의 하류 유량 크기의 차이를 단방향 흐름을 정량화하는 수치로 산정한다. 시뮬레이션은 구조물과 흐름 방향이 이루는 각도, 구조물의 개수 및 간격, 구조물의 비대칭성 등 여러 가지 조건을 바꿔가면서 진행하고, 유속 분포 및 후류의 크기 등의 수리학적 현상을 파악하여 계산 결과를 분석한다. 분석 결과를 바탕으로 하류의 유량 차이가 가장 크게 나타나는 수리 구조물의 조건을 결정하고, 해당 구조물의 실제 적용 가능 여부를 판단한다.

In this study, the structural behavior accorded by pre-weakening before demolishing a cylindrical structure was investigated to ensure structural stability using 3 dimensional applied element method (3D AEM). An opening angle of crushed area for the pre-weakening was changed to examine the displacement behavior of the cylindrical structure. This study shows that the crushing range for pre-weakness must be below 40% to void the collapse of the cylindrical silo structure.

A probabilistic approach considering uncertainties was employed to investigate the effects on the material characteristics and strength of nuclear bio-logical shield concrete walls, when exposed to long-term radiation during the entire service life. Time-dependent compressive and tensile strengths were estimated by conducting the neutron fluence analysis. For the contaminated concrete, individual compressive and tensile failure probabilities can be possibly evaluated by not only establishing limit-state function withthe predefined critical values but also performing Monte Carlo Simulation. Nuclear power plant types similar to the Kori Unit 1, which was shut off permanently in 2017 after the 40-year operation, were herein selected for an illustrative purpose. Consequently, the probability-based performance assessment and prediction of contaminated concrete walls were well demonstrated.

Specific joint devices composed of end-plates and through bolts are under development to assemble steel beams to PC columns efficiently by dry construction method for the PCS structural system, of which major structural components are precast concrete columns and steel beams. Seismic performance of the joint devices had been evaluated by experimental tests in the previous studies and it was showed that all the performance requirements regarding to strength deterioration, stiffness degradation and energy dissipation capacity were satisfied to the criteria of ACI requirements, but the initial stiffness was not. In order to find out possible causes of the insufficient rigidity of the joint devices and provide the proper measures to improve the performance of the joint accordingly, numerical analyses were carried out by using ABAQUS. Parameters, such as thickness of neoprene pad, conditions of surface between PC column and end-plate, magnitude of pretension forces of through bolts, stiffness of end-plate were taken into consideration. As the result, it was found that the rigidity of the PCS system was negatively affected by the magnitude of initial gaps between PC columns and end-plates, and insufficient stiffness of neoprene fillers and end plates. In order to improve the initial stiffness performance of the joints, measures such as increase of the magnitude of pretension forces on through bolts and increase of the stiffness of end-plate by reducing the bolt pitch and providing adequate stiffeners are recommended.

Based on the kinetic typography principle and the structure features of Chinese characters, this study took the Chinese'24 solar terms' theme dynamic poster as the research object, explored the visual expression of dynamic Chinese characters, and tried to summarize the visual expression law of Chinese characters in dynamic poster design. It can be found that, there could be 6 different types of Chinese character expressions in the 24 solar terms poster design. Among them, 'Drawing' design method has the meaning of text structure and form expression, and 'Assembling' design method has the meaning of text stroke and texture association, also, 'Forming' design method bring its meaning through stroke deformation, 'Transforming' design method conveys the content through text disintegration, 'Replacing' design method mainly bring the meaning through simulation, while 'Rotation' design method always express through visual three-dimensional and space. Finally, the findings could not only provide analytical logic and methods for the expression of Chinese characters in dynamic poster design, but also fill the lack of formative research on dynamic Chinese characters, which hopefully provide basic information for the research related to dynamic Chinese character structure, as well as the dynamic poster designers.
