Concrete construction, one of the oldest building practices, is commonly used in all parts of the world. Concrete is the primary building material for both residential and commercial constructions. The challenge of protecting the buildings, hence nation, against the attack of terrorism has raised the importance to explore the understanding of building materials against the explosion. In this research, a security check-post (reinforced concrete frame filled with plain cement concrete) has been chosen to study the behavior of structural elements under blast loading. Eight nitroglycerines-based dynamite blasts with varying amounts of explosive charge, up to 17 kg weight has been carried out at various scale distances. Pressure and acceleration time history records are measured using blast measuring instruments. Security check post after being exposed by explosive loading are photographed to view cracking/failure patterns on the structural elements. It is noted that with the increase of quantity of explosive, the dimensions of spalling and crack patterns increase on the front panels. Simple empirical analyses are conducted using ConWep and other design manuals such as UFC 3-340-02 (2008) and AASTP-1 (2010) for the purpose of comparison of blast parameters with the experimental records. The results of experimental workings are also compared with earlier researchers to check the compatibility of developed equations. It is believed that the current study presents the simple and preliminary procedure for calculating the air blast and ground shock parameters on the structures exposed to blast explosion.

Watering operation for oyster mushroom growing houses is regarded as drudgery and time consuming farm operation for growers. Most of mushroom growing beds in oyster mushroom growing houses are designed as two-row with four floor beds, therefore the watering and ventilation between the bed floors are much difficult for farmers because of its structural design. The study aimed to reduce the watering operation and improve the mushroom growing environment through the humidification and air supply on mushroom growing beds. Results showed that appropriate size of nozzle is between 0.8~0.5ml/s for the humidification and higher than the 2.0ml/s for the watering. The optimum water supply pressure was regarded as between 1.0~2.0MPa and the uniform distribution of droplet on the bed showed on air flow speed of 14m/s. The prototype was equipped with twin nozzle with. the humidification nozzle of 0.85ml/s and watering nozzle of 5.0ml/s, and the air blast fan with the air speed of 10m/sec in each air spout. In the field test in a practical scale mushroom growing house, it was well operated dependant on the set desire by a electric control unit. The machine can be practically used as air blast watering and air blast humidification for oyster mushroom growing farms without manual.

Detailed experimental study has been made of air blast kerosene spray flames with and without swirl in combustion air flow. Phase-Doppler detect technique is used to measure Sauter mean diameter, axial component mean and rms velocity, size-velocity correlation, and number density. These measurements are obtained for both nonreacting and reacting cases under several stable flame conditions. The results show that the introduction of swirl to the combustion air modifies the spatial distribution of droplet size, velocity, and number density, and thus alters the flame structure. However, due to the weak swirl intensity, the overall structure of swirling flames are essentially same as that of nonswirling flames. Physical model of structure of air blast atomized spray flames is projected to show that spray flames are composed of three distinct regions: the two-phase mixture region, the main reaction and the intermittent combustion region. Near the atomizer, two phase mixture of droplet and air is formed in the core region. This dense spray region is characterized by high droplet number density and the strong convective effect. There follows the main combustion region where the main flame penetrates within the spray boundary. Main reaction region of these flames are governed by internal group combustion mode. Finally there exists the intermittent combustion region where local group burning or isolated droplet burning occurs.

This study is to investigate for the frost resistance of high-strength concrete using finely ground granulated blast-furnace slag with experimental parameters, such as water/binder ratio, replacement proportion of granulated blast-furnace slag, air content and methods of curing. The high-strength concrete using granulated blast-furnace slag is effective to resist frost and decrease scaling. The more increasable replacement proportion of granulated blast-furnace slag is, the better the effect is. The high-strength concrete using granulated blast-furnace slag needs hydrating adequately to prevent deterioration by drying in the early curing period. The micro structure of high-strength concrete, increased to the pore number with diameter of 0.03~0.1mm, is changed by using granulated blast-furnace slag, but is presented differently according to water/binder ration and replacement proportion of granulated blast-furnace slag.

In combat operations, naval ships may be subjected to considerable air blast and underwater shock loads capable of causing severe structural damage. As the experimental study imposes great monetary and time cost, the numerical solution may provide a valuable alternative. This study emphasises on numerical analysis for optimization of stiffened and unstiffened plate's structural response subjected to air blast load. Linear and non linear finite element (FE) modeling and analysis was carried out and compared with existing experimental results. The obtained results reveal a good agreement between numerical and experimental observations. The presented FE models can eliminate confusion regarding parameters selection and FE operations processing, using commercial software available currently.

본 연구에서는 열전반도체를 사용한 강제송풍식과 기계식냉동시스템을 사용한 정지공기식 냉각저장고를 이용하여 냉각방식에 따른 백미의 냉각특성과, 저장중 백미의 품질특성을 구명하였다. 강제송풍식과 정지공기식에서 냉각속도는 각각 $0.30^{\circ}C/hr,\;0.21^{\circ}C/hr$으로 강제송풍식이 빨랐으나, 냉각공기의 편차와 저장고 각 위치별로 백미의 온도편차가 정지공기식에 비해 크게 나타났으며, 상대습도는 낮게 나타났다. 14주간의 백미저장실험 결과, 강제풍통식에 저장한 백미의 함수율은 저하하였지만 백미의 지방산가, b값과 밥의 관능적 품질은 정지공기식에 저장한 경우에 비해 유의적인 차이가 없었다. 따라서, 강제송풍식의 경우 냉각공기 편차를 감소시킬 필요가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 대조구로서 $25^{\circ}C$ 상온챔버에 저장한 경우는 냉각저장구에 비해 백미의 함수율, b값 및 지방산가와 밥의 관능적품질에서 현저하게 빨리 품질이 저하하였다. 특히, 지방산가는 저장 6주 이후에 안전저장한계인 20 mL KOH/100g-dry matter를 초과하였으며, 밥의 관능적 품질도 저장 4주후부터 냉각저장구에 비해 유의적으로 낮게 나타났다.

국내외의 광산 및 대규모 현장에서는 노천발파 시, Air Deck 발파공법을 사용하여 발파효율성을 높이려 하고 있으나 이는 공 내부 상태에 따라 장전밀도가 달라짐으로 인해 대괴가 발생하는 등 문제점이 있다. 특히 석회석 광산의 경우 침식 용해 작용에 의해 공벽이 확공되거나 손상된 경우가 많아 Air Deck 공법 적용 시 의도하지 않은 집중장약이 발생하는 경우가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 석회석 광산의 대규모 노천발파를 대상으로 사전에 공 내부를 내시경 검사한 후 공 내부에서 장약집중을 야기할 수 있는 구간을 Air Tube를 이용한 데크차지 공법으로 분상장약(Deck Charge)하여 Air Deck 발파공법의 효과가 온전히 나타나도록 유도하였고 이를 일반장약 공법과 비교하였다. 비교대상은 전체적인 발파효과, 파쇄도, 장약량 절감율 및 시공속도(장약에서 발파까지의 총 작업속도)였으며, 그 결과 시공속도를 제외한 나머지 비교대상에 있어 일반장약에 의한 발파공법 보다 Air Deck를 이용한 이중분상 발파공법이 더 효율적으로 나타났다.

This article describes laboratory research done on strength evaluations for stabilized samples made of tropical fibrous peat. The stabilizing agents used were ordinary Portland cement (OPC) as binding agent and blast furnace slag (BFS) as additive. Stabilized samples were tested for their strength through unconfined compressive strength (UCS) and California bearing ratio (CBR). Different dosage rates of OPC and BFS were used in trial and error experiments for the most effective combination for stabilized peat samples that were at their natural moisture content. Stabilized trial samples were air cured for 90 days. After detecting the most effective dosage rate in the trial samples, their values were used to prepare CBR samples at their optimum moisture content (OMC). CBR samples were then air cured from 1 to 90 days and tested under un-soaked and soaked conditions. The most effective dosage rate for the stabilized peat samples was found to be close to when 75% for OPC and 25% of BFS per total weight of OPC, and BFS. As an example, if 11.25% OPC, and 3.75% BFS are mixed with peat and compacted at their OMC and air cured for 90 days, stabilized peat will have an increase in CBR of 0.8% to 45 % for un-soaked and 20% for soaked conditions.

Local failure of a primary structural component induced by direct air-blast loading may be itself a critical damage and lead to the partial or full collapse of the building. As an extensive research to mitigate blast-induced hazards in steel frame structure, a state-of-art analytical approach or high-fidelity computational nonlinear continuum modeling using computational fluid dynamics was described in this paper. The capability of the approach to produce reasonable blast pressures on a steel wide-flange section column was first evaluated. Parametric studies were conducted to observe the effects of section sizes and boundary conditions on behavior and failure of columns in steel frame structures. This study shows that the analytical approach is reasonable and effective to understand the nature of blast wave and complex interaction between blast loading and steel column behavior.
