The airborne concentrations of the welding fumes produced during $CO_2$ arcwelding process at shipbuilding, shiprepairing, container manufacturing and car accessary manufacturing industry were investigated. The effects how much reduced the welding fume were checked when the portable fan was used. The results were as follows; 1.The geometric mean of welding fume concentration in shipbuilding factory was $10.05mg/m^3$. This exposure concentration was higher than other 3 manufacturing industries at 95% confidence level. 2. The sampling filters for welding fume could be digested with acid within 1 hour by microwave oven. The recoveries for investigated metal elements were all over 95%. 3. The optimal wavelength could be selected for the simultaneous analysis of 8 metal elements by ICP(Inductively Coupled Plasma). 4. Noxious gases($O_1,NO_2$) produced during $CO_1$ gas arc welding process were detected that the concentration of ozone($O_1$) was less than 0.01 ppm and that of nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$) was 0.01-0.03 ppm. 5. The geometric mean of welding fume particle diameter was $1.26{\mu}m$ and geometric standard deviation was 1.51 for the counts when particle an analyzer(ELZONE) had been used. 6. When the portable fan had been used,the reduced percent of total welding fume for workers was about 47.8% when portable fan was applied to blow and 71.7% when to exhaust.

Metal fume fever has been known as an occupational disease is induced by intense inhalation of fresh metal fume with a particle size smaller than $0.5{\mu}m\;to\;1{\mu}m$. The fumes originate from heating metals beyond their boiling point, as happens, for example, in welding operations. Oxidation usually accompanies this process. In most cases, this syndrome is due to exposure to zinc oxide fumes; however, other metals like copper, magnesium, cadmium, manganese, and antimony are also reported to produce such reactions. Authors report a case of metal fume fever suspected to be associated with copper fume inhalation. The patient was a 42-year-old male and was a smoker. He conducted inert gas tungsten arc welding on copper-coated materials without safety precautions such as a protective mask and adequate ventilation. Immediately after work, he felt metallic taste in his mouth. A few hours after welding, he developed headache, chilling sensation, and chest discomfort. He also complained of myalgia, arthralgia, feverish sensation, thirst, and general weakness. Symptoms worsened after repeated copper welding on the next day and subsided gradually following two weeks. Laboratory examination showed a transient increase of neutrophil count, eosinophilia, elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and positive C-reactive proteinemia. Blood and urine copper level was also increased compared to his wife. Before this episode, he experienced above complaints several times after welding with copper materials but welding of other metals did not produce any symptoms. It was suggested that copper fume would have induced metal fume fever in this case. Further investigations are needed to clarify their pathogenic mechanisms.

Airborne nanoparticle concentrations in three metrics (particle surface area concentration, particle number concentration, and particle mass concentrations) were measured by task in a laboratory making carbon nanotubes (CNTs) films using three direct reading instruments. Because of the conducted other researcher's experiment before the tasks, airborne nanoparticle surface area and number concentrations are the highest at the first time conducted weighing and mixing by sonication task, respectively. Because of the mist generated during mixing by sonication, the highest airborne nanoparticle surface area and PM1 concentrations were measured in the task among the total. Nanoparticle surface area concentrations at the researchers' breathing zones had high correlation (r=0.93, p<0.01) with those measured at an area in the laboratory. This result indicates that nanoparticles generated during the experiment contaminated the whole room air. When the experiment performed all the fume hoods weren't operated and making CNTs films task were conducted in the out of the fume hoods. In conclusion, researchers performing making CNTs film experiments were exposed to airborne nanoparticles generated during the experiment without adequate controls. We recommend that adequate controls should be implemented so that workers' exposures to airborne nanoparticle are limited to minimum levels.

메타카올린은 고령토나 카올린으로 알려진 카올린 광물의 풍화물로, 도자기 산업에 주로 사용되는 원료로, 일반적으로 메타카올린의 입자 크기는 시멘트보다는 작지만, 마이크로 실리카퓸보다는 크다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트용 혼화재로 메타카올린을 사용한 콘크리트의 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항 특성에 관한 영향에 관해 조사하였다. 메타카올린과 실리카퓸의 혼입률이 압축강도와 염소이온 투과저항에 주는 영향을 비교하기 위해 물-결합재비를 30%로 고정하고 각각 0, 5, 10, 15, 20%인 배합수준을 설정하여 비교하였다. 연구결과 메타카올린을 혼입한 콘크리트는 실리카퓸을 혼입한 콘크리트와 유사한 강도특성을 보였지만, 염소이온 투과저항성은 다소 불리한 것으로 나타났다. 따라서, 강도와 염소이온 투과저항 성능을 동시에 만족하기 위한 메타카올린의 혼입률은 10% 정도인 것으로 나타났다.

NATM의 미세 구조는 SEM, FT-IR, 인장특성, 그리고 [NCO]/[OH]의 mole %, 입도분석에 의해 측정하였다. 친환경적인 NATM에 관한 관심이 고조됨에 따라 스테인레스 등의 금속코팅에 더욱더 중요한 무용제 도료의 발전을 이끈다. 우리는 스테인레스 스틸의 부식을 방지할 수 있는 NATM(New Austria Tunnel Method)의 수지를 합성하였다. 폴리우레탄과 에폭시로 합성한 혼성 수지는 일반적 NATM 수지와 도료와 비교하여 강도와 내구력이 매우 양호하다. 혼성수지는 폴리올, 에폭시, MDI, 실리콘 계면활성제, 촉매, 가교제, 충전제로 구성된다. 충전제인 fume silica는 경화속도를 가속시킬 뿐만 아니라 열적 장벽으로 물성이 우수함을 나타냈다. NATM 수지의 기계적 특성은 [NCO]/[OH]의 mole%와 fume silica가 증가함에 따라 강도가 증가하였다. 결론적으로 가교제와 fume silica가 함유된 혼성수지의 미세구조는 스테인레스 스틸같은 금속물질의 열경화코팅을 위한 좋은 물질이다.

This study tested the alkali-silica reactivity of various types of crushed stones, following the specifications of ASTM C 227 and C 1260, and the results obtained from the tests were compared. This study also analyzed the effects of particle size and grading of reactive aggregate based on the expansion of mortar-bar due to an alkali-silica. The effect of mineral admixtures to reduce the detrimental expansion caused by the alkali-silica reaction was investigated based on the method specified by ASTM C 1260. The mineral admixtures used in this study were fly ash, silica fume, metakaolin and ground granulated blast furnace slag. The replacement ratios of 0, 5, 10, 15, 25 and 35% were uniformly applied to all the mineral admixtures, and the replacement ratios of 45 and 55% were additionally applied for the admixtures that could sustain the workability at these ratios. The results indicate that replacement ratios of 25% for fly ash, 10% for silica fume, 25% for metakaolin and 35% for ground granulated blast furnace slag were the most effective in reducing the expansion due to the alkali-silica reaction under the experimental conditions of this study.

This study is mainly focused on applying Fuller's ideal gradation curve to theoretically design blended ratio of all solid materials of a reactive powder mortar (RPM), also known as reactive powder concrete (RPC), with the aid of error function, and then to study the effect of fly ash/slag on the performance of RPM. The solid particle is assumed to be spherical particles. Then, the void volume of paste ($V_{\nu}$) and the paste content with specific quality can be obtained. As conclusion, under Fuller's ideal grading curve, the amount of fly ash/slag mixture is higher than that with silica fume along due to it better filled the void within solid particle and obtains higher packing density.

본 연구는 대심도 조건의 고효율 그라우팅 기술개발을 위한 그라우트재 배합비를 제시한 것으로써 연구에 사용된 1종 보통 포틀랜드 시멘트(OPC)와 마이크로 시멘트(S8000-E)의 배합별 특성과 첨가제 효과를 점도 실험, 입경분석 실험, Gel-Time 실험, 일축압축강도 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 점도실험 결과 점도적인 측면에서 고려하였을 때 OPC가 유리하지만 입경 분석을 통한 암반 절리 간격 통과 고려 시 S8000-E가 적합하다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. Gel-Time 실험 결과 OPC보다 S8000-E에서 효율적인 값을 나타내었으며 실리카퓸(SF) 적용 시에도 그라우트재로서 주입에는 문제가 없음을 확인하였다. 일축압축강도 시험결과 실리카퓸(SF) 함유량 증가에 따른 강도 증진 효과 및 양생시간에 따른 압축강도 변화를 확인하였으며 여러 가지 실험을 통해 산정된 최적의 배합비는 S8000-E, w/c=70%, 실리카퓸(SF)=6%, 7일 양생으로 대심도 조건의 고효율 그라우트재로서 주입에 가장 효과적인 것으로 판단된다.

Concrete is a most utilized material in the construction industry that have main components. The strength of concrete can be improved by adding some admixtures. Evaluating the impact of fly ash (FA) and silica fume (SF) on the long-term compressive strength (CS) of concrete provokes to find the significant parameters in predicting the CS, which could be useful in the practical works and would be extensible in the future analysis. In this study, to evaluate the effective parameters in predicting the CS of concrete containing admixtures in the long-term and present a fitted equation, the multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS) method has been used, which could find a relationship between independent and dependent variables. Next, for optimizing the output equation, biogeography-based optimization (BBO), particle swarm optimization (PSO), and hybrid PSOBBO methods have been utilized to find the most optimal conclusions. It could be concluded that for CS predictions in the long-term, all proposed models have the coefficient of determination (R²) larger than 0.9243. Furthermore, MARS-PSOBBO could be offered as the best model to predict CS between three hybrid algorithms accurately.
