In the concrete repairing industry, it's very significant to apply adequate repair materials and construction method in order to extend service life of deteriorated concrete structure efficiently. also, adequate diagnosis of deteriorated structure's status should be involved. This paper describes an investigation of bond strength of polymer modified mortar applied both old deteriorated concrete surface substrate and well cured new concretes. The purpose of this investigation is comparing how much the tensile bond strength on construction site is different from laboratory test results. in the results of investigation, most of sample tested in laboratory is in compliance with KS F 4042's specification. and most of results of construction site are not in compliance with the specification cause of low tensile strength of concrete's surface.

Lightweight soils are very economical and environment friendly materials that are valuable in field without wasting construction materials, dredged soils and clay/ silty soils during construction. Recently, the research of lightweight soils mixed with recycled material (recycled tire powder, rice husks) have been investigated. In this study the mix design factors (i.e., weight of soil, water content, foaming agent and added water) were analyzed and optimized mix design was suggested using cement content for revealing strength. For the analysis the stress-strain behavior, strength with respect to time, and experimental strength for the component of recycled material were analyzed. Finally, target strength was determined to calculate reasonable and economical mix ratio and the optimized cement content was suggested.

In this paper, to investigate the influence of installation damage, a variety of full-scale field installation tests with 15 geosynthetics reinforcements and fill materials of various grain size distribution have been performed. The full-scale field installation test was conducted with reference to the FHWA (2009) guidelines. The tensile strength tests were performed by sampling up to 20 specimens randomly from the excavated geosynthetics reinforcements after compaction of fill material, and the degree of decrease in tensile strength of reinforcements due to compaction was analyzed based on the experiment results. It was found that the degree of tensile strength reduction of geosynthetics reinforcements due to the compaction of fill material is greatly influenced by the type of reinforcement and the maximum diameter of fill material. In addition, it was found that the strength reduction ratio of PET geogrid (PVC coating) with relatively small stiffness was greatest, and that the larger the maximum grain size of the fill material, the greater the strength reduction ratio. And also, a more reasonable evaluation method for the installation damage reduction factor of geosynthetics reinforcements is proposed based on the results of full-scale field installation tests in present study and the existing test results.

Controlled low strength material(CLSM), known as flowable fill is used sewer. This paper evaluates flowability, segregation, early strength and excavatability of CLSM made using standard soils such as SM, ML, CL, CH. Also, various mix proportions of CLSM containing kaolinite, red soil, Joomun Jin standard soil were developed and the mixing ratio optimized. It was considered as the flowability and early strength were severly affected by W/B, S/B, and early strength and flowability depend on standard soils which means the satisfaction conditions of CLSM were variety of standard soil conditions. Finally, not only optimal mixing proportions were deducted according to standard soil condition but confirmed effectiveness of bleeding and excavatability.

Rock and discontinuities are main factors consisting of a rock mass and the physical properties of each factor have direct effects on the mechanical stability of artificial structures in the rock mass. Because physical properties of the rock and discontinuities change a lot according to the size of test materials, a close attention is needed when the physical properties, obtained from laboratory tests, are used for the design of field structures. In this study, change of physical properties of intact materials due to the change of their size are studied. Six kinds of artificial materials including crystal, instead of an intact rock, are adopted for the study to guarantee the homogeneity of specimen materials even with relatively large size. Uniaxial strength and Young's modulus of each artificial material are checked out for a size effect and compared with the predicted values by Buckingham's theorem - dimensional analysis. A numerical analysis using PFC (Particle Flow Code) is also applied and primary factors influencing on the size effect are investigated.

최근 교통량의 증가에 의해 직접 하중을 부담하는 교량바닥판의 손상이 심각한문제로 부각되고 있다. 더욱이 차량하중의 증가는 바닥판손상을 더욱 가속화시키고 있는 실정이다. 바닥판의 손상이 심한 경우에는 교체 또는 성능개선공사를 시행하게 되는데, 이때 기존의 현장타설바닥판이 갖는 단점을 보완할 수 있는 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 공기단축, 품질확보 등의 측면에서 매우 효과적인 대체공법이 될 수 있다. 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판은 기존의 현장타설바닥판과달리 바닥판간에 이음부를 갖는 구조적 특징이 있으며, 다양한응력상태에 있는 바닥판중에 존재하는 비연속부인 이음부와 콘크리트 부재사이의 원활한 하중전달을 위해 부착강도는 매우 중요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이음부의 부착강도를 함리적으로 평가할 수 있는 새로운 실험방법을 제안하고 이를 이용하여 휨, 직접인장 및 전단실험을 수행하였다. 또한 구성재료에 대한 압축, 휨인장 및 할렬인장강도 특성도 평가하였 다. 부착 및 강도특성에 관한 실험결과, 제안된 실험방법을 이용하면 실제에 근접한 부착강도를 평가할 수 있으며 국내에서 사용되는 충전재료중 무수축모르터가 프리캐스트 콘크리트 바닥판간 이음부의 채움재로서의 기본요건을 만족하고 있는 것을 알 수 있었다.

This study presents the evaluation of the patching materials that are used to repair the distress of asphalt pavement. Four kinds of patching materials currently used in practice were tested in both laboratory and field. The laboratory tests included the dry and soaked Marshall stability test, indirect tensile test, wheel tracking test and adhesive strength between the asphalt pavement and the repairing material was tested as a performance test. The field study was conducted using the slab samples placed on the location of vehicle tire passing and the performance of the repairing materials were investigated as passing the traffic load. The result of the laboratory tests were satisfied with the current design criteria and material standard except for water-immersion stability. Type C patching material showed the highest adhesive shear strength among the patching materials tested. However, the mature distress, such as rutting and stripping were monitored after construction in 10 days. It was found that performance of patching material is lack of quality behavior when they were applied in the field and required to develop and applu to prevent the mature distress of the current patching materials.

In this research, laboratory tests were carried out to investigate the engineering properties of Light-Weight Air Foamed Soil (LWAS) based on silty clays with the animal foaming agent and cement. LWAS has been used as an embankment material over soft ground for road and side extension of the existing road. In field, unit weight and flow value is measured right after producing in mixing plant in order to control the quality of LWAS, and laboratory tests are carried out to confirm the quality through compressive strength of LWAS as well. In this research, direct estimation of the specification requirement of strength using flow values in field is the main purpose of the study together with other characteristics. From the test results, it can be seen that flow values increase with the initial water content and unit weight increases with the depth due to material segregation. Compared to the upper specimen, lower end of 60 cm specimen shows about 2 times higher compressive strength. Relationship between flow values and normalized factor presented by Yoon & Kim (2004) was presented. With that relationship, compressive strength can be predicted from flow values in field. From the relationship, the normalized factor was calculated. Thereafter calculated compressive strengths according to the flow values were compared to measured strengths in the laboratory. The higher the initial water content of the dredged soil has, the better relationship between predicted and measured shows. Therefore it is necessary to predict the compressive strength in advance through the relationship between the flow value and the normalized factor to reflect it in the design stage.

The DMM (Deep mixing method) is a construction method in which an improved pile is installed in the soft ground by excavation ground using an auger and then mixing ground stabilizer with soil. Improved pile installed in the soft ground by the DMM may have different compressive strength depending on the properties and characteristics of the soil. In the previous study, laboratory tests were performed on the ground stabilizer for the DMM developed by using the ash of the circulating fluidized bed boiler as a stimulator for alkali activation of the blast furnace slag. And the test results were analyzed to derive the correlation between the unit weight of binder (γ_B) and the uniaxial compressive strength (q_u). In this study, comparative reviews were conducted on the correlations derived from the same laboratory tests on soil material collected from the Saemangeum area and the stability of the site was evaluated by analyzing the test results performed at the site. As a result, the clay collected from the Saemangeum area satisfies the correlation between the unit weight of binder (γ_B) and the uniaxial compressive strength (q_u) derived from the previous study. And the result of the test at the field showed a higher uniaxial compressive strength than the standard strength at the field, indicating excellent stability.

고크롬강은 산업용 발전설비의 효율적인 열교환을 위해 수천개의 튜브로 구성된 보일러에 적용되고 있다. 이러한 보일러 튜브는 고온에 노출되어 있으며, 튜브 내면에는 고온의 증기가 고압으로 존재하고 있다. 따라서 보일러 튜브는 장기간 고온의 환경에서 사용되기 때문에 고온강도와 고온내산화 및 내부식 특성이 요구된다. 보일러 튜브의 열화는 이세조직 변화에 따른 고온강도의 저하를 재료내부의 열화와 고온산화 및 부식 등 외부환경에 의 한 열화로 크게 두 가지로 대별된다. 이러한 보일러 튜브의 수명평가는 튜브의 수명을 미리 예측하여 적절한 시점에 교체함으로서 운전 중 손상에 따른 발전정지 등을 방지하여 막대한 비용을 절감할 수 있기 때문에 현장에서는 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 보일러 튜브의 여러 가지 수명평가 방법 중 현재 산업용 발전설비의 보일러에 적용되고 있는 X-20 고크롬강의 고온산화 거동을 조사하여 향후 보일러 튜브의 수명평가 방법 중 산화스케일을 이용한 방법에 활용하는데 있어 기초 자료로 이용하고자 한다.
