Compacted bentonites were chosen as the backfill material and buffer in high level nuclear waste disposal due to its high swelling pressure, high ion adsorption capacity and low permeability. It is essential to estimate the swelling pressure in design and considering the safety of the nuclear repositories. The swelling pressure model of expansive clay colloids was developed based on Gouy-Chapman diffuse double layer theory. However, the diffuse double layer model is effective in predicting low compaction dry density (low swelling pressure) for certain bentonites, and invalidation in simulating high compaction dry density (high swelling pressure). In this paper, the new relationship between nondimensional midplane potential function, u, and nondimensional distance function, Kd, were established based on the Gouy-Chapman theory by considering the variation of void ratio. The new developed model was constructed based on the published literature data of compacted Na-bentonite (MX80) and Ca-bentonite (FoCa) for sodium and calcium bentonite respectively. The proposed models were applied to re-compute swelling pressure of other compacted Na-bentonites (Kunigel-V1, Voclay, Neokunibond and GMZ) and Ca-bentonites (FEBEX, Bavaria bentonite, Bentonite S-2, Montigel bentonite) based on the reported experimental data. Results show that the predicted swelling pressure has a good agreement with the experimental swelling pressure in all cases.

PURPOSES : The main purpose of this study is to develop a high elastic modulus and low-shrinkage roller-compacted concrete base (RCCB) in order to prevent fatigue cracking and reflective cracking in the asphalt surface layer of composite pavement. Using a rigid base material with low shrinkage can be a solution to this problem. Moreover, a strong rigid base with high elastic modulus is able to shift the location of critical tensile strain from the bottom of the asphalt layer to the bottom of the rigid base layer, which can prevent fatigue cracking in the asphalt layer. METHODS : Sensitivity analysis of composite pavement via numerical methods is implemented to determine an appropriate range of elastic modulus of the rigid base that would eliminate fatigue cracking. Various asphalt thicknesses and elastic moduli of the rigid base are used in the analysis to study their respective influences on fatigue cracking. Low-shrinkage RCC mixture, as determined via laboratory testing with various amounts of a CSA expansion agent (0%, 7%, and 10%), is found to achieve an appropriate low-shrinkage level. Shrinkage of RCC is measured according to KS F 2424. RESULTS : This study shows that composite pavements comprising asphalt thicknesses of (h1) 2 in. with E2 > 19 GPa, 4 in. with E2 > 15 GPa, and 6 in. with E2 > 11 GPa are able to eliminate tensile strain in the asphalt layer, which is the cause of fatigue cracking in this layer. Shrinkage test results demonstrate that a 10% CSA RCC mixture can reduce shrinkage by 84% and 93% as compared to conventional RCC and PCC, respectively. CONCLUSIONS : According to the results of numerical analyses using various design inputs, composite pavements are shown to be able to eliminate fatigue cracking in composite pavement. Additionally, an RCC mixture with 10% CSA admixture is able to reduce or eliminate reflective cracking in asphalt surfaces as a result of the significant shrinkage reduction in the RCC base. Thus, this low-shrinkage base material can be used as an alternative solution to distresses in composite pavement.

Nano Cu powders, synthesized by Pulsed Wire Evaporation (PWE) method, have been compacted by Magnetic Pulsed Cojpaction(MPC) method. The microstructure and mechanical properties were analyzed. The optimal condition for proper mechanical properties with nanostructure was found. Both pure nano Cu powders and passivated nano Cu powders were compacted, and the effect of passivated layer on the mechanical properties was investigated. The compacts by MPC, which had ultra-fine and uniform nanostructure, showed higher density of 95% of theoretical density than that of static compaction. The pur and passivated Cu compacted at $300^{\circ}C$ exhibited maximum hardnesses of 248 and 260 Hv, respectively. The wear resistance of those compacts corresponded to the hardness.

Shield tunnels are widely used throughout the world. However, their seismic performance has not been well studied. This paper focuses on the seismic response of a large scale model tunnel in compacted sand. A 9.3 m long, 3.7 m wide and 2.5 m high rigid box was filled with sand so as to simulate the sandy soil surrounding the tunnel. The setup was excited on a large-scale shake table. The model tunnel used was a 1:8 scaled model with a cross-sectional diameter of 900 mm. The effective shock absorbing layer (SAL) on the seismic response of the model tunnel was also investigated. The thickness of the tunnel lining is 60 mm. The earthquake motion recorded from the Kobe earthquake waves was used. The ground motions were scaled to have the same peak accelerations. A total of three peak accelerations were considered (i.e., 0.1 g, 0.2 g and 0.4 g). During the tests, the strain, acceleration and soil pressure on the surface of the tunnel were measured. In order to investigate the effect of shock absorbing layer on the dynamic response of the sand- tunnel system, two tunnel models were set up, one with and one without the shock absorbing layer of foam board were used. The results shows the longitudinal direction acceleration of the model tunnel with a shock absorbing layer were lower than those of model tunnel without the shock absorbing layer, Which indicates that the shock absorbing layer has a beneficial effect on the acceleration reduction. In addition, the shock absorbing layer has influence on the hoop strain and earth pressure of the model tunnel, this the effect of shock absorbing layer to the model tunnel will be discussed in the paper.

폐기물 매립지 최종복토의 주요 기능중 하나는 매립지 내부로 우수의 침투를 억제하는 것이다. 이러한 기능을 담당하는 차단층은 폐기물 관리법상 다짐점토층(45cm)의 단독포설이나 다짐점토층(30cm)상부에 HDPE를 복합으로 포설하도록 되어 있다. 그러나 바닥층 사면부에서와 같이 최종복토층 끝단 사면부에서 다짐점토층의 포설이 어렵다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 토목합성물질 사이에 차수성이 뛰어난 벤토나이트를 삽입한 토목합성수지점토라이너(Geosynthetic Clay Liner; GCL)를 다짐점토층 대신 적용하여 최종복토 끝단 사면부에서 차단층으로서의 적용가능성을 평가해 보고자 HELP 분석과 사면에서의 안정성 검토, 환경적 내구성 검토를 수행하였다. 그 결과 GCL이 기존의 다짐점토층보다 안정된 결과를 나타내고 있어 GCL을 최종복토의 차단층으로서 사용하도록 제안하고자 한다.

Negative electrode was prepared by mixing $Ti_{0.7}Zr_{0.3}Cr_{0.3}Mn_{0.3}V_{0.6}Ni_{0.8}$ alloy powder with copper or nickel powder and pressing in the air. The cycled electrodes were analyzed with SEM, potentiostat and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. It was found that the Cu-compacted electrode showed better low temperature dischargeability and higher rate capability than Ni-compacted electrode. From SEM analysis of the cycled electrode compacted with copper powder, it was observed that the surface of MH particles was covered with copper grains and whisker precipitated from electrolyte after dissolution during cell test. It is found that the improved electrode characteristics are attributed to the copper layer on MH particles deposited by dissolution and precipitation(DP) process.

This paper performs an experimental study on the flexural behavior of preloaded reinforced self-compacted concrete beams strengthened with carbon fiber reinforced polymers CFRP. A group of six preloaded strengthened beams was investigated along with one unstrengthened beam used as a reference beam RB. All beams have the same dimensions and reinforcement details: three beams are strengthened with CFRP laminates against flexural failure and three beams are strengthened with CFRP sheets. For simulating actual conditions, the beams are loaded before strengthening. Then, after strengthening, the beams are tested for flexural strength using 4-point loads where cracked and ultimate load and failure mode, along with load-deflection relation are recorded. To study the different configurations of strengthening, one layer, two layers, and U-wrap formation of laminates and sheets are considered. The results show that strengthing the RC beams using CFRP is an effective method to increase the beam's capacity by 47% up to 153% where deflection is reduced by 5%-80%. So, the beams strengthened with CFRP laminates have higher load capacity and lower ductility in comparison with the beams strengthened with CFRP sheets.

국내 최초로 시공되는 롤러다짐 콘크리트 댐(RCD)의 온도균열 관리방안 수립하기 위하여 RCD 공법의 시공특성인 층(layer) 타설 방식을 고려하여, 댐체의 온도분포 및 온도응력 해석을 수행하였다. RCD 공법은 수 백 개의 시공단계로 구성되어 있고, 실제 타설 층을 시공단계로 해석하는 것과 6층을 한 시공단계로 시공하는 경우를 비교하여 해석 단계의 단순화 가능성을 검토하였으며, 단위시멘트량이 $130kg/m^3$ 내외로 발열량이 매우 작은 RCD 배합의 경우에도 여름철에는 온도균열 지수가 1.0 이하로 나타나 온도관리의 필요성을 확인하였다.

원 지반을 성토하여 인공적으로 형성된 다짐지반에 터파기를 하여 관을 매립하거나, 암거를 설치하는 작업을 수행 하는 경우가 자주 있다. 이 때 조성되는 임시굴착사면의 기울기를 적용함에 있어서 실험이나 사면안정해석 등의 적절한 과정을 수행하지 않음으로 인해 사면붕괴가 발생하여 인명 피해는 물론이고 공기의 지연 및 공사비의 증액 등 크고 작은 손실을 초래하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 임시사면의 안정성 검토를 위해 대표적인 경우들에 대한 사면안정해석을 수행하였으며, 특히 사면안정에 대한 다짐지반의 비등방성에 따른 전단강도의 영향을 검토하였다. 해석에서 적용한 다짐지반의 비등방성 전단강도는 전단면과 다짐층 간의 경사를 변화시키면서 수행한 일련의 직접전단시험으로부터 추정하였다. 해석 결과, 비등방성을 고려하는 지의 여부에 따라서 임시사면의 적절한 안정기울기가 소폭으로 변화할 가능성이 있음을 알았다. 그러나, 이에 따른 안전율의 변화나 파괴면의 양상은 그리 크게 변하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the pure iron powder was treated with aqueous phosphoric acid to produce phosphate insulating layer on the surface. After drying the powder, it was compacted in a mold with a diameter of 20mm at 800MPa. The powder compacts were then heat treated at $500^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The results showed that insulated iron powder was obtained with uniform phosphate layer by chemical reaction. With increased amount of phosphate layer, the core loss and density of compacts were decreased. It was also found that the addition of ethyl alcohol during insulating reaction resulted in improved core loss value.
