The analysis of microstructure is essential to understand the material behavior such as shrinkage, strength, and permeability. In this study, three different easy-to-apply specimen preparation methods for the mercury intrusion analysis were chosen, and their effectiveness in removing pore water and thus impeding further hydration was evaluated. As a result, it was found that the direct freeze-drying was the most effective among the three methods.

Concrete surface is a part that resists chiefly to carbonation by carbonic acid gas, affluence of rainwater and air, deterioration by freezing thawing, salt damage by seawater, and other chemical erosion etc. Therefore, this research analyzed physical characteristic and durable characteristic of concrete eliminated glut water and bubble of concrete surface using CON-SILK that is permeated with dehydration. As a research result, concrete using CON-SILK was improved, in comparison with concrete using general formwork, in physical performance and durability of concrete, as surface hardness, carbonation resistivity, and salt content permeation resistivity etc. Therefore, we could know that it is effective to use CON-SILK in performance elevation of concrete surface.

Electroforming is a process that employs technology similar to that used for electroplating but which is used for manufacturing metallic articles, rather than as a means of producing surface coatings. Electroforming provides a cost-effective means of producing alloys and fully dense nanocrystalline metals as foils, sheets and complex shapes. It was able to make Fe-Ni foil with $5{\mu}m$ thickness by electroforming. Electroformed Fe-Ni alloy was nanocrystalline and the yield strength was in the range $2000{\sim}2800\;MPa$. The magnetic permeability at high frequency of electroformed Fe-Ni foil was higher than that of thicker foils.

Productivity of secreted recombinant protein depends largely on its stability in the extracellular environment with protease. Most hGM-CSF produced by transgenic tobacco cell cultures and secreted to the medium was confirmed to be rapidly degraded by protease in medium. To increase the productivity, therefore, various protein stabilizers such as gelling agents such as carrageenan and alginate, polymers, polyols, and amino acids have been tested. The stability of hGM-CSF in spent medium without cells was improved by the presence of gelling agents. However, the reason for the enhanced production by the addition of gelling agents may be due to the increased expression level and permeability rather than stability. The addition of DMSO inhibited the cell growth, but improved specific yield. The others were not effective for stability as well as hGM-CSF production.

In order to study the effect of D.C resistivity of sample on electromagnetic loss of ferrite at microwave frequency, samples were prepared for having differences in resistivity of an order of two. Microwave permeability($\mu$), permitivity($\varepsilon$) and effective linewidth(${\Delta}H_{eff}$), and ferromagnetic resonance linewidth(${\Delta}$H) were characterized. Tan${\delta}{\mu}$, tan${\delta}{\varepsilon}$ and ${\Delta}H_{eff}$ were decreased with increasing the resistivity and (${\Delta}$H) was increased with increasing Fe concentration, which was due to an increase of anisotropy magnetic field (=Ha).

For soils with high void ratios, the inverse method of utilizing results obtained from centrifuge model test was used to find the constitutive relation of effective stress - void ratio - permeability whereas conventional oedometer test and constant rate of strain consolidation(CRS) test about settlement of interface and pore pressure and distribution with time were compared with numerically estimated values to confirm such a constitutive relation as obtained from the inverse method. As results of numerical method, the volumetric ratio and reclamation velocity were obtained for the reclamation condition.

The frost heaving is related with thermal conduction rate and permeability. If the thermal conduction rate can be controlled, it is effective to prevent from frost heaving. If soil mixed with shredded tire which has relatively lower thermal conduction rate than soil, it helps preventing from frost heaving. However, in this case, the shear strength can get weak. In this study, we compared thermal conduction rate of soil and shredded tire, and test uniaxial compression strength of soil which is mixed with shredded tire and cement in different ratio.

A methodology is presented for computing stresses in structural concrete members exposed to fire. Coupled heat and moisture migration simulations are used to establish temperature, pore pressure, and liquid-saturation state variables within near-surface zones of heated concrete members. Particular attention is placed on the use of coupled heat and multiphase fluid flow simulations to study phenomena such as moisture-clogging. Once the state variables are determined, a procedure for combining the effects of thermal dilation, mechanical loads, pore pressure, and boundary conditions is proposed and demonstrated. Combined stresses are computed for varying displacement boundary conditions using data obtained from coupled heat and moisture flow simulations. These stresses are then compared to stresses computed from thermal analyses in which moisture effects are omitted. The results demonstrate that moisture migration has a significant influence on the development of thermal stresses.

A numerical study was performed to investigate characteristics of one-dimensional consolidation of soft clay. Results of consolidation tests with the remolded normally consolidation clay of having a very high initial void ratio were analyzed by using the numerical technique of finite difference method based on the finite strain consolidation theory, to evaluate consolidational characteristics of soft clay under surcharges on the top of clay. On the other hand, a numerical parametric study on soft clay consolidated due to its self-weight was also carried out to find its effect on one-dimensional consolidation. Terzaghi's conventional consolidation theory, finite strain consolidation theories with linear and non-linear interpolation of effective stress - void ratio - permeability relation were used to analyze the test results and their results were compared to each other to figure out the difference between them. Therefore, the validity of theories was assessed.

The evaluation of characteristics of concrete coated by high performance surface penetration agency was examined through various tests, i.e., compressive strength, penetration depth, water and air permeability, absorption according to various high performance surface penetration agencies and various compressive strengths of base concrete. The 4 types of high performance surface penetration agencies were used i.e., organic, inorganic, water soluble, and alcohol soluble. And 3 types of compressive strength of base concrete were used such as 21, 24 and 30 MPa. The characteristics of concrete coated high performance surface penetration agency was more improved than that of non-coated concrete, and especially, water soluble inorganic agency was most effective. And if compressive strength of base concrete was low, the improved effects would be larger.
