  • The demand for low-friction, wear and corrosion resistant components, which operate under severe conditions, has directed attentions to advanced surface engineering technologies. The Filtered Vacuum Arc Cathode Deposition (FVACD) process has demonstrated atomically smooth surface at relatively high deposition rates over large surface areas. Preparation of Ti-Si-C-N nanocomposite coatings on (100) Si and stainless steel substrates with tetramethylsilane (TMS) gas pressures to optimize the film preparation conditions. Ti-S-C-N coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, nanoindentation, Rockwell C indentation and ball-on-disk wear tests. The XRD results have confirmed phase formation information of TiSiCN coatings, which shows mixing of TiN and TiC structure, corresponding to (111), (200) and (220) planes of TiCN. The chemical composition of the film was investigated by XPS core level spectra. The binding energy of the elements present in the films was estimated using XPS measurements and it shows present of elemental information corresponding to Ti2p, N1s, Si 2p and C1. Film hardness and elastic modulus were measured with a nano-indenter, and film hardness reached 40 GPa. Tribological behaviors of the films were evaluated using a ball-on-disk tribometer, and the films demonstrated properties of low-friction and good wear resistance.

  • The effects on structures caused by the replacement of the bridge bearings are investigated in this study. The bearings of the bridge are seriously deteriorated because of the breakage of lower concrete and the corrosion of the bearing itself. Also, the negative reaction states are created at some bearings on the abutment. Then, the bridge has occurred excessive vibrations and severe noise and impact whenever heavy trucks pass the above joints. The existing bearings are replaced using the adjustable bearing. The height of the bearings is adjusted to minimize the level difference of above joint and also to induce the appropriate distribution of live loads The effects of replacing the bearings are investigated by measuring the behaviors of the bridge without and with replacing works. The results without replacing the bearing show that the distribution of displacements and stresses is distorted in comparison with the analytical results. Also the bridge without replacing the bearing shows that the impact and vibration from the heavy trucks are larger than those with replacing the bearing. Load carrying capacity of the bridge increase about 1.8 times through replacing the bearing. The above results show that the structural performance of the bridge is improved by replacing only bridge bearings.

  • Civil infrastructures, such as bridges and tunnels are most important assets and their failure during service will have significant economic and social impact in any country. Behavior of a bridge can be evaluated only through actual monitoring/measurements of bridge members under the loads of interest. Theoretical analysis alone is not a good predictor of the ability of a bridge. In some cases, theoretical analyses can give less effect than actual since theoretical analyses do not consider the actual condition of the bridge, support conditions, level of corrosion and damage in members and connections etc. Hence actual measurements of bridge response should be considered in making decisions on structural integrity, especially in cases of high value bridges (large spans and major crossings). This paper describes in detail the experimental investigations carried out on an open web type steel railway bridge. Strain gages and displacement transducers were installed at critical locations and responses were measured during passage of locomotives. Stresses were evaluated and extrapolated to maximum design loading. The responses measured from the bridge were within the permissible limits. The methodology adopted shall be used for assessing the structural integrity of the bridge for the design loads.

  • As an example of research activities in decontamination for decommissioning, new data are presented on the options for corrosion layer dissolution during the decommissioning decontamination, or persulfate regeneration for decontamination solutions re-use. For the management of spent decontamination solutions, new method based on solvent extraction of radionuclides into ionic liquid followed by electrodeposition of the radionuclides has been developed. Fields of applications of composite inorganic-organic absorbers or solid extractants with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) binding matrix for the treatment of liquid radioactive waste are reviewed; a method for americium separation from the boric acid containing NPP evaporator concentrates based on the TODGA-PAN material is discussed in more detail. Performance of a model of radionuclide transport, developed and implemented within the GoldSim programming environment, for the safety studies of the LLW/ILW repository is demonstrated on the specific case of the Richard repository (Czech Republic). Continuation and even broadening of these activities are expected in connection with the approaching end of the lifespan of the first blocks of the Czech NPPs.

  • Where concrete structures are designed to have a service life of over 100 years, their performance must be monitored, for the prediction models available are fraught with uncertainties that need to be eliminated. The present study was conducted to meet that need by monitoring a pilot structure for low and intermediate radioactive waste storage. Long-term operation of the sensors was observed to be adequate to determine the value of the parameters that characterise structural durability, such as corrosion current density. The parameters analysed were correlated to calculate their reciprocal impact: where applied in conjunction with artificial intelligence tools, temperature, for instance, was found suitable for finding activation energy and expansion coefficients and detecting outliers. The results showed the pilot structure to perform satisfactorily.

  • The Inconel 718 alloy is a well-known super-heat-resistant alloy and a difficult-to-cut material. Inconel 718 with excellent corrosion and heat resistance is used in harsh environments. However, the heat generated is not released owing to excellent physical properties, making processes (e.g., adhesion and thermal fatigue) difficult. Tool condition monitoring in machining is significant in reducing manufacturing costs. The cutting tool is easily broken and worn because of the material properties of Inconel 718. Therefore, tool management is required to improve tool life and machinability. This study proposes a method of predicting the tool wear with non-contacting sensors (e.g., IR thermometer for measuring the cutting temperature and a microphone for measuring the sound pressure level in machining). The cutting temperature and sound pressure fluctuation according to the tool condition and cutting force are analyzed using experimental data. This experiment verifies the effectiveness of the non-contact measurement signals in tool condition monitoring.

  • ${\cdot}$저준위 방사성폐기물 처분시설의 주 인공방벽으로 콘크리트 구조물이 고려되고 있다. 콘크리트는 투수성이 낮아 물의 침투를 최소화할 수 있으며, 핵종 물질의 누출 차단에도 효과적이기 때문이다. 그러나 콘크리트에 열화가 발생하면 처분구조물의 구조적 안정성이 낮아지며, 투수성이 증가하여 외부로부터 물의 침투로 인한 핵종물질 누출 가능성이 높아진다. 따라서 처분구조물의 오염물질 격리 성능을 증진하기 위해서는 콘크리트의 열화를 최소화하여야 한다. 콘크리트 구조물의 대표적 열화 원인으로 황산염의 침투, 염화물 침투에 의한 철근 부식, 칼슘 수산화물의 침출, 알카리-골재 반응, 그리고 구조물의 반복적인 동결-융해가 있다. 이러한 열화과정의 공통적 원인은 구조물에 물 및 유해한 화학물질이 침투하기 때문이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 열화원인 및 메커니즘 검토에 기초하여 인공방벽으로서 콘크리트 처분구조물의 장기적 내구성을 확보하기 위한 설계 및 설계수명 평가 방안을 검토하였다.

  • 본 연구는 충청북도에 위치하는 지하수로 포화된 삼성석회석광산에서 발생한 지반침하에 대한 사례연구로서, 대상 지역의 지반조사 및 지반안정성평가를 바탕으로 침하원인을 규명하고 향후 침하가능성에 관하여 검토하였다. 조사 및 안정성평가 결과에 의하면 채굴구역은 강우 유입으로 인한 전단강도 저하로 전반적으로 불안정하게 평가되었으며, 미채굴 구역의 침하발생 주요 원인은 지하수위 하강에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 향후 침하 가능성과 관련하여, 채굴공동 천단의 암반층 두께가 얇은 구간이나 인장절리 발달이 활발한 구간이 존재하고 채굴공동 주변의 지반상태가 불량하므로 침하가 발생할 경우 침하의 영향은 주변 지반으로 확산될 가능성이 있다. 또한 연구지역 내 석회암 분포지역에서는 석회암층 내자연 용식공동의 함몰이나 양수 등 인위적 요인의 영향으로 인해 지하수위 저하나 강우침투에 의한 공동에서의 유로변화 및 수위변화가 발생할 경우 추가적인 침하가 발생할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 보강 및 관리 대책이 필요할 것으로 판단된다.
