상수도관은 사용년수가 경과함에 따라 노후화가 진행되며, 노후화된 상수관은 내부적으로 부식, 이물질 퇴적, 균열 등의 현상이 발생하게 되고, 이는 결국 수질문제로 연결되어, 탁수사고 발생 확률증가의 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 국내 상수도관의 경우 매설년수의 증가로 인해 내구연한이 도래한 상수관망의 비중이 점차 증가하고 있으며, 2019년 서울시 문래동 수질사고, 2019년 인천 붉은 수돗물 사고, 2022년 안양 동안구 탁수사고, 2022년 여수시 웅천 탁수사고 등 관의 노후화로인한 탁수 사고가 빈번하게 발생되고 있어 수도 사용자에게 불편함을 끼치고 있다. 현재 정수장 및 상수관망에 설치된 탁도계를 통해 수질에 대한 감시를 진행하고 있지만, 경제적인 문제로 인해 모든 상수도관에 탁도계를 설치하기에는 현실적으로 불가능하며, 제한적인 탁도계의 개수를 통해 수질에 대한 감시 및 관리를 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 이러한 상황으로 인해 탁수사고 발생 시 발생 원인분석 및 최초 발생위치 결정이 쉽지 않으며, 보수 보강을 통한 상수도관의 정상화까지 오랜 시간이 걸리게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 상수관망에서 탁수 발생 시 최초 발생 위치를 결정할 수 있는 기법을 개발하였으며, 이를 실제 상수도관망에 적용하여 탁수발생 파이프를 탐지하였다. 탁수사고 발생 시 실측된 수질 데이터의 부족으로 인해 임의의 파이프에서 탁수가 발생하였다고 가상의 탁수 발생시나리오를 가정하였으며, 완전혼합농도식을 통해 관망에 설치된 탁도계의 NTU(Nethelometric Paultity Unit) 농도를 계산하여 가상의 탁수발생 시나리오를 상수도관망에 적용하였다. 이후, 역추적 계산기법을 통해 파이프의 초기 NTU 농도를 변화시켜주며 관망내 설치된 탁도계의 NTU 농도를 계산하였으며, 가상 시나리오를 적용하여 계산된 탁도계의 NTU 농도와 역추적 계산법을 적용하여 계산된 탁도계의 NTU 농도의 Percentage Error를 비교/분석하여 탁수 발생 파이프를 탐지하였다. 분석결과, 가상 시나리오의 최초 탁수발생 파이프와 역추적 계산법을 적용하여 탐지한 최초 탁수발생 파이프의 위치가 일치하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 개발된 역추적계산을 통한 탁수발생 파이프 탐지기법을 실제 관로 교체사업에 활용한다면 파이프의 개선 우선순위를 보다 명확하게 판단할 수 있으며, 더 나아가 상수도 관망의 유지관리에 활용하여 경제적이고 효율적인 상수관망 시스템관리를 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

In order to expand facility agriculture and reduce greenhouse construction costs in reclaimed land, a greenhouse foundation method that satisfies economic feasibility and structural safety at the same time is required. As an alternative, the allowable bearing capacity and settlement were reviewed when the DCM(Deep cement mixing) method was applied among the soft ground reinforcement methods. To examine the applicability of the greenhouse foundation, the allowable bearing capacity and settlement were calculated by applying the theory of Terzaghi, Meyerhof, Hansen, and Schmertmann. In case of the diameter of 800mm and the width and length of the foundation of 4m, the allowable bearing capacity was 179kN/m² and the settlement was 7.25mm, which satisfies the required bearing capacity and settlement standards. The calculation results were verified through FEM(Finite element method) analysis using the Mohr-Coulomb material model. The allowable bearing capacity was 169kN/m² and the settlement was 2.52mm. The bearing capacity showed an error of 5.6% compared to calculated value, and the settlement showed and error of 65.4%. Through theoretical calculations and FEM analysis, it was confirmed that the allowable bearing capacity and settlement satisfies the design criteria as a greenhouse foundation when the width and length of the foundation were 4m. Based on the verified design values, it is expected to be able to present the foundation design criteria for greenhouses through empirical tests such as bearing capacity tests and long-term settlement monitoring.

기계 가공품의 정밀화, 경량화 요구로 난색재로 분류되는 비철분야 및 복합재 가공용 공구개발에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있으나, 기존 난삭재 가공 시 절삭공구의 마모가 빠르고, 상대재의 융착 불량 등이 공구 수명 감소의 주요 영향으로 보고된다. 상기문제를 해결하기 위해 절삭가공 공정 중 과다한 절삭유의 사용에 따른 가공비용, 에너지소모 증가, 환경오염 등으로 절삭유의 최소화 또는 절삭유를 사용하지 않는 표면처리기술등의 친환경 가공기술의 개발이 필요하다. 내융착 및 내마모 특성 향상을 위한 표면코팅 방법으로 수소가 포함되지 않은 고경도 비정질 카본 (ta-C)이 있으나, ta-C 코팅 막은 경도 30 - 80 GPa, 잔류응력 3 - 10 GPa 범위로 일반 경질 코팅 막 (AlTiN, TiSiCrN : 평균 3 GPa)에 비해 높고 산업적 활용이 가능한 0.5 - 1.5 um 두께 수준의 후막화가 힘들어 매우 우수한 절삭공구용 코팅 막 특성에도 불구하고 적용사례가 매우 적다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 아크플라즈마 방식 (Filtered Cathode Vacuum Arc Plasma, FCVA)을 활용한 고경도/무수소 카본 코팅 막을 후막형태로 증착하여 비철금속가공용 절삭 공구류의 수명향상 기법을 제시하고자 한다. ta-C 코팅 막의 기초 공정개발 단계에서는 바이어스 전압, 공정시간을 달리하여 ta-C 코팅 막의 기계적 물성(경도: $50{\pm}3GPa$, 잔류응력: $6{\pm}1GPa$, 밀착력: 30N 이상 및 트라이볼로지 특성: 마찰계수 0.1 이하, 마멸량: $1.85{\times}10-14mm^3$)을 확보하여 절삭공구로의 공정실용화 적용검토를 실시하였다. ta-C 코팅 막은 (1) WC 공구 및 기존 상용품인 (2) TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조에 대해 증착을 실시하였으며 코팅 막의 두께 변화에 따른 실제 절삭환경에서의 내수명 관측을 진행하였다. 시험결과, ta-C/WC의 단일막 구조인 절삭공구의 경우, 실제 절삭환경에서 쉽게 박리가 발생하여 코팅 막으로서의 효과를 나타내지 못하였다. 이는, 기초 공정개발 단계에서의 밀착력 기준이 실제 환경과 부합하지 않는 것을 의미하며 추후 공정개선을 통해 극복하고자 한다. 반면에, 상용품인 (2) TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조의 절삭공구 대비 ta-C/TiAlN/TiN/WC 구조에서 내수명 증가는 약 2.5배 (기존 300회, 코팅 후 800회)로 증가하였으며 ta-C 코팅 막의 두께가 $0.6-0.8{\mu}m$일 때 최대치를 취한 후 감소하였다. 이를 통해, 절삭공구로의 ta-C 코팅 막 효과는 최외각 층의 두께 범위와 모재 강도보강을 할 수 있는 적절한 중간층 막 (TiN/TiAlN 층)이 혼합되어 나타난 것으로 사료되며 현재 산업계로의 적용을 위한 대량생산용 코팅장비의 개발 및 비용절감을 위한 공정개발이 진행 중이다.

The effects of compatibilizers on the mechanical and rheological properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends have been studied. The thermoplastic polyolefin (TPO) consists of PP (80 wt%), EPDM (15 wt%) and Talc (5 wt%). Maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) and maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butene)-styrene copolymer (SEBS-g-MAH) were used as compatibilizers. In mechanical properties of PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends, tensile strength was increased when PP-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer, and impact strength was increased when SEBS-g-MAH was used as a compatibilizer. From the results of SEM morphology of PP/PCL blend, PCL droplet size was decreased by the addition of PP-g-MAH. From the results of rheological property, complex viscosity of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends did not change appreciably when the compatibilizers were added. From the results of mechanical, morphological and rheological properties of the blends, PP-g-MAH acted as a compatibilizer to increase the tensile strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends. While SEBS-g-MAH acted as a impact modifier to increase the impact strength of the PP/PCL and TPO/PCL blends.

The objective of the paper is to experimentally investigate the effect of commercially avaliable fiber types such as polypropylene (PP), nylon (NY), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and cellulose (CL) on the engineering properties of concrete for pavement application. The results, showed the fluidity tends to decrease with fibers addition compared to that of plain concrete. As for the effect of fiber types on fluidity loss, use of NY appear to give the most favorable results among all of the fiber types investigated in this study while the effect of the fibers on air content was negligible. For the properties of hardened concrete, compressive and flexural strengths increased with fibers compared to plain concrete. The contribution of NY fibers to strength was the highest followed in the order by NY, PVA, PP, and CL. However, in the case of the splitting tensile strength, its values were increased with NY and PP only. For porosity based on MIP(mercury intrusion penetration) method, the number of around 1 was observed when NY was mixed resulting in increased cumulated amounts of porosity compared with that of plain mix. Thus, based on the consideration of fluidity and strength it was found that the addition of NY fiber showed the optimal results under the conditions applied in this study.

At present, coffee consumption amount is annually on the rise in Korea, which results in about 0.27 million tons of coffee waste annually. They are mostly classified as food waste and deserted with moisture contained, being a serious environmental issue. Existing slope greening techniques, which are vegetation based soil-media hydroseeding measures, have problems such as lack of coherence, dryness or lack of organic matters. Therefore in order to assess usability of Spent Coffee Ground (SCG), medium-to long-term growth test was conducted under the indoor and outdoor conditions. According to the result of growth test, when SCG was mixed with existing base materials, moisturizing power increased and organic matter content was reinforced, promoting germination and growth in a medium term. Among others, under the condition when supply of water was discontinued, withering rate was lower than existing base materials and diverse phenomena resulting from lack of nutrition decreased. Therefore, SCG as a waste organic matter with abundant nitrogen has the characteristic of inhibiting early growth but was found to have a quality favorable to long-term growth resulting from water containing ability and the supply of organic mater and is judged to be a material to replace or complement existing base materials.

The movement of rock cut slopes may result in upheaval of an adjacent road. Because most cut slopes consist of rock, road upheaval due to the movement of a cut slope is a rare phenomenon in Korea. We found that the movement of rock slopes which are heavily weathered and with strongly developed weak zones is governed by circular failure of the overall rock formation rather than by failure along discontinuities. The results of a numerical analysis revealed that the application of a ubiquitous joint model in a continuum analysis is appropriate for anisotropic rocks (e.g., schist) and for slopes for which the stability is influenced by a particular discontinuity. The results of a field investigation and numerical analyses suggest that retaining walls and anchors should be used to stabilize rock slopes and that real-time monitoring equipment should be installed to assess the reinforcing effect of the remedial measures.

The study was carried out to establish in vitro microtuber production from leaf and petiole explant cultures of Pinellia ternata. Culture conditions were optimized by investigating the effect of plant growth regulators, different media, and gelling agents on the efficiency of microtuber indurtion. Among the different combinations of plant growth regulators tested, the combination of 0.1 mg/l 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic (2,4-D) and 0.5 mg/l 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) showed the highest yield fer microtuber production from leaf (3.9) and petiole (4.7) explant culture on MS medium far 6 weeks. SH(Schenk and Hildebrandt) medium was the most effective medium for microtuber induction and the half strength SH medium was better than SH medium for microtuber production from both leaf and petiole culture. Gelrite was better than agar in the formation of microtubers and 4% Gelrite showed the highest number of microtubers per explant frome leaf (5.9) and petiole (7.8) culture. Germination rate of microtubers after cold storaged for one months long was 86% from in vitro culture and 43% from autoclaved soil.

In this study, eco-friendly hybrid composite boards were manufactured from green tea, three kinds of charcoals and wood fiber for developing interior materials to reinforce the strength performances and the functionalities in addition to performances of the green tea-wood fiber hybrid boards. The effects for the kind and the component ratio of raw materials on mechanical properties were investigated. Bending strength performances of hybrid composite boards were highest in the hybrid composite boards composed of green tea, fine charcoal and wood fiber on average. However, the difference caused by the kind of charcoals was not large. These values were was markedly improved than those of green tea - wood fiber hybrid composite boards reported in previous researches. And it was found that the bending strength performance decreased with increasing component ratios of green tea and charcoals. The difference between urea resins used as the binder showed the higher value in hybrid composite boards using $E_1$ grade urea resin than in those using $E_0$ grade urea resin, but the difference between hybrid composite boards manufactured by both resins decreased markedly than the green tea - wood fiber hybrid composite boards reported in previous research. The internal bond strength of hybrid composite boards was in the order of hybrid composite boards with fine charcoal, activated charcoal and black charcoal, and it was found that the hybrid composite boards with fine charcoal had a similar values to control boards composed of only wood fiber.

With difficulties during the cleaning of reflow flux residues due to the decrease of the part size and interconnection pitch in the advanced electronic devices, the need for the no-clean solder paste is increasing. In this study, an epoxy curable solder paste was made with SAC305 solder powder and the curable flux of which the main ingredient is epoxy resin and its reflow solderability, flux residue corrosivity and solder joint mechanical properties was investigated with comparison to the commercial rosin type solder paste. The fillet shape of the cured product around the reflowed solder joint revealed that the curing reaction occurred following the fluxing reaction and solder joint formation. The copper plate solderability test result also revealed that the wettability of the epoxy curable solder paste was comparable to those of the commercial rosin type solder pastes. In the highly accelerated temperature and humidity test, the cured product residue of the curable solder paste showed no corrosion of copper plate. From FT-IR analysis, it was considered to be resulted from the formation of tight bond through epoxy curing reaction. Ball shear, ball pull and die shear tests revealed that the adhesive bonding was formed with the solder surface and the increase of die shear strength of about 15~40% was achieved. It was considered that the epoxy curable solder paste could contribute to the improvement of the package reliability as well as the removal of the flux residue cleaning process.
