Background: The concrete walls inside the vaults of cyclotron facilities are activated by neutrons emitted by the targets during radioisotope production. Reducing the amount of radioactive waste created in such facilities is very important in case they are decommissioned. Thus, we proposed a strategy of reducing the neutron activation of the concrete walls in cyclotrons during operation. Materials and Methods: A polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet (30 wt% of B and 2.5 mm in thickness) were placed in front of the wall in the cyclotron room of a radioisotope production facility for pharmaceutical use. The target was Xe gas, and a Cu block was utilized for proton dumping. The irradiation time, proton energy, and beam current were 8 hours, 30 MeV, and $125{\mu}A$, respectively. To determine a suitable thickness for the polyethylene plate set in front of the B-doped Al sheet, the neutron-reducing effects achieved by inserting such sheets at several depths within polyethylene plate stacks were evaluated. The neutron fluence was monitored using an activation detector and 20-g on de Au foil samples with and without 0.5-mm-thick Cd foil. Each Au foil sample was pasted onto the center of a polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet, and the absolute activity of one Au foil sample was measured as a standard using a Ge detector. The resulting relative activities were obtained by calculating the ratio of the photostimulated luminescence of each foil sample to that of the standard Au foil. Results and Discussion: When the combination of a 4-cm-thick polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet was employed, the thermal neutron rate was reduced by 78%. Conclusion: The combination of a 4-cm-thick polyethylene plate and B-doped Al sheet effectively reduced the neutron activation of the investigated concrete wall.

동결작용은 빌딩, 구조물, 도로, 철도 그리고 공공시설관로에 엄청난 손상을 일으킬 것이다. 자연지반의 동상에 대한 연구는 과거에 많이 수행되었다. 근래에는 사회기반시설 유지의 발전과 함께 각종구조물의 복잡화로 인하여 동상대책에 대한 관심이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 구조물에 작용하는 자연지반의 동상력을 정량적으로 파악하는 것을 목적으로 하였다. 지표면에 설치한 원형강판에 작용하는 동상력이 현장시험에서 측정되었다. 동결면에서 발생하는 동상력은 동결된 토층을 거쳐 구조물에 전달된다. 또한 다단앵커로 보강된 옹벽이 현장에 설치되고 옹벽에 작용하는 동결선과 동상압 등이 측정되었다. 최종적으로 동결면의 위치와 형상이 수치해석수법을 이용하여 추정되었고 치환 범위를 결정하는 설계수법이 토질정보와 기상정보에 따라 제안되었다.

토목섬유를 이용한 보강토 옹벽은 기존의 콘크리트 옹벽에 단점을 보완함과 동시에 시공성 역시 탁월하여 사용이 증가되고 있다. 그러나 옹벽 대규모화에 따른 설계 및 시공상의 부주의로 인해 전면에 변위가 발생하고 전체적인 옹벽의 균열 및 붕괴가 발생한다. 본 연구는 이러한 토목섬유 보강토 옹벽의 전면활동파괴가 발생한 고속국도 현장지역사례의 붕괴원인을 지반 조사와 변위계측, 강우계측 등을 통하여 분석하고 강우 시 발생된 침출수의 영향을 검토하기 위해 건기시와 우기시로 구분하여, 붕괴 구간과 미붕괴 구간의 안정성을 평가 분석하였다. 블록식 보강통옹벽의 보다 합리적인 안정 및 해석을 위해서는 주위 지반및 지형을 고려한 시공환경을 적극적으로 고려하여야 하며, 붕괴전 구역의 보강대책은 기존시공상태 및 붕괴된 상태를 가능한 유지할수 있도록 하는 방안이 합리적으로 고려되었다.

A pump which is a fundamental device in a hydraulic system affects on overall system performance to a great deal. Such problems as leakage and solid friction loss become important in field applications, especially for the case of operation under high pressure and at high speed. So the research on this kind of subjects is necessary to improve the performance of hydraulic devices. A high pressure radial piston pump is analyzed here, which has a stationary cylinder block. It pumps hydraulic fluid by letting camring push a piston in a cylinder. Fluid leaks between the piston and cylinder so that it deteriorates the pump efficiency. Furthermore, the piston happens to touch the cylinder wall to increase the friction loss and wear. In this research, by means of FDM, volumetric, mechanical and overall efficiencies are observed by varying several design Parameters and operation conditions. Design values or their trends are presented to improve these efficiencies.

Recently, as to destruction and renovation of aged building, waste concretes have been reclaimed near foreshore and filled up underground. Recycling demolished concrete as aggregate helps to settle economic and environmental problems of obtaining superior aggregates from natural sources and to dispose waste concretes. An experimental study was carried out to investigate the strength characteristics of no-fine concrete containing recycled aggregates. The cement-aggregate weight ratios of 1: 5, 1: 6, 1: 7 and water-cement ratios of 30, 35, 40, 45% were chosen for the mix design of no-fine concretes. The compressive and splitting tensile strength at 7 and 28 days were measured for 12 different mixes. On the basis of test results, the optimum mix proportion of no-fine concrete containing recycled aggregates was determined and applied to the production of retaining wall block.

For home networking system with a function of air quality monitoring, a wireless sensor module with several air quality monitoring sensors was developed for indoor environment monitoring system in home networking. The module has various enlargements for various kinds of sensors such as humidity sensor, temperature sensor, CO2 sensor, flying dust sensor, and etc. The developed wireless module is very convenient to be installed on the wall of a room or office, and the sensors in the module can be easily replaced due to well designed module structure and RF connection method. To reduce the system cost, only one RF transmission block was used for sensors' signal transmission to 8051 microcontroller board in time sharing method. In this home networking system, various indoor environmental parameters could be monitored in real time from RF wireless sensor module. Indoor vision was transferred to client PC or PDA from surveillance camera installed indoor or desired site. Web server using Oracle DB was used for saving the visions by web-camera and various data from wireless sensor module.

During the tube hydropiercing, the region adjacent to the pierced hole will be deformed and will be drawn away from the die block as the punch advances through the wall of the tube. The deformation in the region may range from a substantially flat form to a countersunk form, so called rollover. In this study, the effects of material properties, shape of piercing punches, roundness of tube surface and internal pressure within the tube during piercing on the rollover have been investigated experimentally. The results provide the quantitative variation of rollover at given hydropiercing parameters, and a relationship between the deformed radius and the rollover caused by the deformation has been established.
