Several reinforced concrete structures that get deteriorated by rebar corrosion are retrofitted using Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP). When rebar comes in direct contact with CFRP, rebar may corrode, as iron is more active than carbon. Progression of corrosion of rebar in strengthened RC structures has been carried out when rebar comes in direct contact with CFRP. The experimentation is carried out in two phases. In phase I, corrosion of bare steel bar is monitored by making its contact with CFRP. In phase II, concrete specimens with surface bonded CFRP were casted and subjected to the realistic exposure conditions keeping direct contact between rebar and CFRP. Progression of corrosion has been monitored by various parameters: Half-cell potential, Tafel extrapolation and Linear Polarisation Resistance. On termination of exposure, to find residual bond stress between rebar and concrete, pull-out test was performed. Rebar in contact with CFRP has shown substantially higher corrosion. The level of corrosion will be more with more area of contact.

High performance fiber reinforced cement composites have better performances than traditional cement based materials, therefore, have been expected as new construction applications such as the materials for construction & bridge structure, repair and rehabilitation applications, anti-collapse applications, anti-noise applications etc. However, they have lots of the problems such as material design, fabrication method and structural analysis. Also, the most serious problems of High performance fiber reinforced cement composites have been expensive initial cost, lack of long-term exposure data. As a result, it is needed that the efforts for lowering the initial cost and accumulation of long-term exposure. There has been hardly assessment results of life cycle cost for HPFRCC in construction field, but some papers showed that total life cycle cost could be profitable if the initial cost could be reduced.

In this study, surface performance evaluation was conducted according to the fiber and surface finishing technique of the exterior material using Ultra High Performance Concrete(UHPC), whitch is spotlighted as a highly durable exterior material. As a result of outdoor exposure, the initial performance of the UHPC Panel using organic fibers was maintained without being affected by the surface finishing technique. In the specimen using steel fiber, the surface performance was maintained when the water repellent treatment was performed in the plain specimen, but fiber corrosion occurred in the specimen to which the surface finishing technique was applied.

본 연구는 보강섬유의 종류(마섬유, 펄프섬유, PVA섬유, 나이론섬유) 및 혼입률(0.0%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%)이 다공성 식생콘크리트의 역학적 특성과 내약품성에 미치는 효과를 평가하였다. 시험은 섬유의 종류 및 혼입률의 변화에 따른 다공성 식생콘크리트의 압축강도, 공극률, pH, 휨강도 및 내약품성 특성을 분석하기 위하여 수행하였다. 섬유의 종류 및 혼입률은 다공성 식생콘크리트의 압축강도, 공극률 및 내약품성에 영향을 미쳤다. 섬유의 혼입률이 증가할수록 압축강도, 휨강도 및 공극률은 증가하였다. 그렇지만 다공성 식생콘크리트의 pH 값과 내약품성은 섬유의 종류 및 혼입률의 변화에 큰 영향이 없었다.

SPME 분석기법은 헤드스페이스(Headspace: HS) 방식으로 기체상태의 흡착을 유도하거나, 액상시료에 직접 접촉하는 방식으로 분석대상 물질을 추출할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 CAR/PDMS fiber를 이용하여, 액상시료의 VOC 분석을 시도하였다. 3 가지 변수 (흡착온도, 흡착시간, 교반여부)의 강약을 동시에 감안한 8가지 조합조건에서 분석효율을 조사하였다. (1) 용출온도: 30 대비 $50^{\circ}C$. (2) SPME fiber 시료노출시간: 10과 30 min. (3) 교반적용 여부: 무 교반 대비 1200 rpm. 8가지의 조합형 분석조건에서 HS-SPME 방식을 적용하여분석한 결과, S50-30 (stirring speed: 1200 rpm, exposure temp: 50oC, exposure time: 30 min)에서 가장 분석효율이 높게 나타났다. 가장 좋은 감도를 보인 S50-30방식의 분석 회수율을 GC에 직접주입하는 방식을 임의의 기준으로 평가하였을 때, 성분에 따라 상대 회수율이 45.5~68.5%로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과, 3가지 변수 중에서 교반여부는 검량 특성을 결정짓는 가장 중요한 인자로 나타났다.

The objectives are to compare the airborne asbestos concentrations resulted from mitering of abestos cement roof sheets by a high-speed motor and a hand saw, and to monitor whether other workers near the test sites are vulnerable to the fibers exceeding the occupational exposure limit. Four test cases were carried out and altogether 7 personal and 4 area air samples were collected. The NIOSH method 7400 was employed for the air samplings and analysis. Using the phase contrast microscopy, fiber counting was conducted under Rule A. The study showed that the fiber concentration medians for personal air samples gathered from the two tools were 4.11 fibers/cc (ranged: 1.33-12.41 fibers/cc) and 0.13 fibers/cc (ranged: 0.01-5.00 fibers/cc) respectively. The median for the area samples was 0.59 fibers/cc (ranged: 0.14-3.32 fibers/cc). Comparing each study case, the concentration level caused by the high-speed motor saw was more than twice that of the hand saw. According to the area samples, the workers nearby the test site are at risk from high exposure to asbestos.

Objectives: Asbestos contents of crushed serpentine rocks and airborne fiber concentrations of workers were determined at two serpentine quarries and a steel mill. Methods: Bulk samples of uncrushed and crushed serpentine rocks were collected and analyzed by PLM and TEM. Airborne asbestos samples were collected from the breathing zone of workers and the vicinity of working area and analyzed by PCM and TEM. Results: Chrysotile was identified with antigorite, lizardite and non-asbestiform actinolite in bulk samples. The arithmetic means of chrysotile contents in crushed serpentines were 0.11, 0.01, 0.42%(W/W) by quarry A, quarry B and a steel mill, respectively. The asbestos concentrations of all personal samples were less than 0.1 f/cc which is the permissible exposure limit of workers in Korea. The arithmetic means of airborne asbestos concentrations were 0.017 f/cc and 0.009 f/cc in personal samples collected from two serpentine quarries. The asbestos concentrations of all personal samples collected from a steel mill were less than LODs by PCM analysis but asbestos was detected in area samples by TEM. By the job tasks of serpentine quarries, crusher/separator operation generated the highest exposure to airborne asbestos. Conclusions: Although chrysotile contents in crushed serpentines of quarries were less the permissible level, the highest exposure of workers in serpentine quarries reached up to 76% of the permissible level of airborne asbestos. There were also possibilities of occupational exposure to airborne asbestos in a steel mill. The present exposure study should encourage further survey and occupational control of quarries producing serpentine or other types of asbestos-bearing rocks.

A novel UV sensor was manufactured and characterized using the evanescentfield coupling between fiber-planar waveguide (PWG) coupler and prism. A spiroxazine dye was chosen as planar waveguide because its photochromic isomerization induced by UV irradiation. A novel UV sensor was proposed to measure the variation of refractive index and absorption coefficient simultaneously. The wavelength responses of these sensors by UV exposure times were measured 0.48 nm/sec, 0.757 nm/sec, and ATR output power variations were measured $-0.424{\mu}W$/sec and $-0.62{\mu}W$/sec when UV exposure power were 3 mW and 5 mW, respectively.

성형조건에 따른 GMT-Sheet를 관찰하여, 성형품 표면의 불량원인을 조사했다. 현미경 관찰 결과, GMT-Sheet 성형품의 표면에서 구정, 섬유돌출, 크랙, 섬유노출, 마이크로 웰드라인, 핀홀, 여파굴곡곡선 등의 결함을 발견했다. 이 결함들은 요철의 발생원인이고, 표면 광택에 영향을 주는 현상이다. 그리고 표면거칠기에 영향을 주는 요철의 가장 주요한 발생원인은 보압 냉각 과정에서 발생하는 모재의 수축이었다. 성형 시의 보압하중이 높을수록 GMT-Sheet 성형품 표면은 좋아졌다. 또한 서냉실험에서는 탈형온도가 낮을수록 성형품의 표면이 좋아졌다.

This pioneer study investigates the size effect on the compressive and tensile strengths of fiber-reinforced self-compacting concrete (FR-SCC) with different specimens, before and after exposure to elevated temperatures. 432 self-compacting concrete (SCC) specimens with two concrete grades (50 and 80MPa) and three steel fiber ratios (0%, 0.5% and 1%) were prepared and tested. Moreover, based on the experimental results, new formulations were proposed to predict the residual strengths for different specimens. A parametric study was also carried out to investigate the accuracy of proposed formulations. Residual strength results showed that the cylinder specimen with dimensions of $100{\times}200mm$ was the most affected, while the cube with a size of 100 mm maintained a constant difference with the standard cylinder ($150{\times}300mm$). Temperature effect on the cube specimen (150 mm) was the least in comparison to other specimen sizes and types. In general, provision of steel fibers in SCC mixtures resulted in a reduction in temperature effect on the variance of a conversion factor. Parametric study results confirm that the proposed numerical models are safe to be used for all types of SCC specimens.
