콘크리트는 다상(multi-phase)의 재료로서 구성되어지는 복합재료의 일종으로써 준취성(quasi-brittle)적인 재료적 특성을 가지고 있기 때문에 실제 복잡한 미시적 파괴특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 콘크리트 구조물의 안전성 확보를 위해서는 먼저 하중의 증가에 따른 콘크리트 내부의 변형특성 및 미시적 파손기구를 파악하여야 하며, 특히 실제 구조물에 있어서는 이들 특성들을 비파괴적으로 상시 (on-line) 모니터링 하여야 할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 3점 굽힘 하중을 받는 콘크리트 부재의 미시적 파손기구 및 각 파손기구에 대한 AE 특성을 명확히 함으로써 콘크리트 부재의 미시적 손상 및 파괴 특성을 비파괴적으로 평가하고 AE 발생원 위치 추정 기법을 이용하여 균열 발생 및 진전거동을 평가하였다.

본 연구는 부식생성물의 공극충전에 의한, 부식 반응량 및 이산화탄소의 확산속도 변화를 고려한 철분혼입 콘크리트의 염화물이온침투 예측모델에 관한 연구이다. 본 모델은 염화물이온 침투영역에서 염화물이온과 철이온의 반응 및 염화물이온의 확산에 기초한다. 또한 본 모델은 콘크리트 조직이 부식 생성물로 인해 치밀해져, 콘크리트의 염화물이온 침투저항성이 억제되는 것에 대해서도 해석이 가능하다. 모델에 의한 예측치와 철분을 혼입한 콘크리트에 있어서의 실측값은 잘 일치하였고, 재령이 경과함에 따라 철분무혼입 콘크리트에 비해 염화물이온 침투속도가 상당히 늦어지는 것으로 나타났다. 결론적으로 본 모델은 대기중에 노출된 콘크리트의 물시멘트비 및 철분 혼입 유무와 혼입율에 따른 염화물이온 침투 예측이 가능하였다.

본 연구는 기존에 사용되어 지고 있는 타설 노즐 내부에 블레이드를 설치함으로써 타설 시 시멘트 복합체에 혼입된 섬유의 방향성을 제어하고 동시에 분포도를 향상시키고자 하였다. 블레이드 변수 최적화를 위하여 시멘트계 매트릭스 재료의 유동과 혼입된 섬유의 운동, 노즐간의 상호작용을 고려한 다중물리계 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 사용되는 섬유길이를 변수로 하여 블레이드의 간격, 길이, 위치를 결정하였다. 내부 블레이드 간격이 섬유길이의 약 1.2~2.4배, 블레이드 길이는 섬유길이의 약 4~8배, 설치 위치는 시멘트 복합체가 도출되는 입구에서부터 섬유길이의 14배 이하일 때 섬유 방향각이 약 $15^{\circ}$이하로 제어되었다. 또한, 본 연구에서 제시된 블레이드형 노즐은 기존의 섬유보강 시멘트 복합체 타설장비와 타설관을 그대로 사용하면서, 탈 부착식으로 제작될 수 있어 사용성과 편의성을 동시에 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Stable isotope ratios of $^{18}O/^{16}O$ and $^{13}C/^{12}C$ and rare earth elements geochemistry of the Upper Triassic carbonates from the Baluti Formation in Kurdistan Region of Northern Iraq were studied in two areas, Sararu and Sarki. The aim of the study is to quantify the possible diagenetic processes that postdated deposition and the paleoenvironment of the Baluti Formation. The replacement products of the skeletal grains by selective dissolution and neomorphism probably by meteoric water preserved the original marine isotopic signatures possibly due to the closed system. The petrographic study revealed the existence of foraminifers, echinoderms, gastropods, crinoids, nodosaria and ostracods as major framework constituents. The carbonates have micritic matrix with microsparite and sparry calcite filling the pores and voids. The range and average values for twelve carbonate rocks of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}^{13}C$ in Sararu section were -5.3‰ to -3.16‰ (-4.12‰) and -2.94‰ to -0.96‰ (-1.75‰), respectively; while the corresponding values for the Sarki section were -3.69‰ to -0.39‰ (-2.08‰) and -5.34‰ to -2.70‰ (-4.02‰), respectively. The bivariate plot of ${\delta}^{18}O$ and ${\delta}^{13}C$ suggests that most of these carbonates are warm-water skeletons and have meteoric cement. The average ${\Sigma}REE$ content and Eu-anomaly of the carbonates of Sararu sections were 44.26 ppm and 1.03, respectively, corresponding to 22.30 ppm and 0.93 for the Sarki section. The normalized patterns for the carbonate rocks exhibit: (1) non-seawater-like REE patterns, (2) positive Gd anomalies (average = 1.112 for Sararu and 1.114 for Sarki), (3) super chondritic Y/Ho ratio is 31.48 for Sararu and 31.73 for Sarki which are less than the value of seawater. The presence of sparry calcite cement, negative $^{13}C$ and $^{18}O$ isotope values, the positive Eu anomaly in the REE patterns (particularly for Sararu), eliminated Ce anomaly ($Ce/Ce^{\ast}$: 0.916-1.167, average = 0.994 and 0.950-1.010, average = 0.964, respectively), and Er/Nd values propose that these carbonates have undergone meteoric diagenesis. The REE patterns suggest that the terrigenous materials of the Baluti were derived from felsic to intermediate rocks.

Concrete is the most widely used building material, with various types including high- and ultra-high-strength, reinforced, normal, and lightweight concretes. However, accurately predicting concrete properties is challenging due to the geotechnical design code's requirement for specific characteristics. To overcome this issue, researchers have turned to new technologies like machine learning to develop proper methodologies for concrete specification. In this study, we propose a highly accurate deep learning-based predictive model to investigate the compressive strength (UCS) of lightweight concrete with natural aggregates (pumice). Our model was implemented on a database containing 249 experimental records and revealed that water, cement, water-cement ratio, fine-coarse aggregate, aggregate substitution rate, fine aggregate replacement, and superplasticizer are the most influential covariates on UCS. To validate our model, we trained and tested it on random subsets of the database, and its performance was evaluated using a confusion matrix and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) overall accuracy. The proposed model was compared with widely known machine learning methods such as MLP, SVM, and DT classifiers to assess its capability. In addition, the model was tested on 25 laboratory UCS tests to evaluate its predictability. Our findings showed that the proposed model achieved the highest accuracy (accuracy=0.97, precision=0.97) and the lowest error rate with a high learning rate (R2=0.914), as confirmed by ROC (AUC=0.971), which is higher than other classifiers. Therefore, the proposed method demonstrates a high level of performance and capability for UCS predictions.

본 연구에서는 알칼리 이온의 침출을 완화하기 위해 전기화학적 처리로 100일 동안 수중 환경에 침지된 시멘트 페이스트의 표면을 현미경으로 관찰하였다. 계면 영역에서의 미수화물 입자와 공극률을 정량적으로 평가하기 위하여 주사 전자 현미경을 통해 후방 산란 전자(BSE) 이미지를 얻었다. 그 결과, 전기화학적 처리에 의해 표면부의 공극률이 크게 감소한 반면, 전하 상태에서 제한된 수화반응에 의해 미수화 입자는 다소 증가한 것으로 나타났다. 전기화학적 처리에서, C-S-H 겔에 존재하는 Ca²⁺ 이온은 공극수 내의 OH^- 이온과 Ca(OH)₂ 형태로 침전되어 C-S-H 겔을 낮추면서 동시에 Ca(OH)₂를 증대시킬 수 있다. 실질적으로 알칼리 침출에 대한 위험성은 전기화학적인 처리 하에서 제한된 이온화 매트릭스에 의해 감소될 수 있다.

With the prolonged Covid-19 epidemic, movement restrictions such as social distancing are prolonged, and as people stay indoors for a longer time, interest in indoor air pollution is increasing. Indoor air quality is not easily purified unlike outdoors. Among indoor building materials, paints and flooring contain formaldehyde that causes sick house syndrome and VOCs that contain carcinogenicity and harmfulness. For modern people who spend a lot of time living indoors for more than an hour, the occurrence of these harmful substances can be said to be fatal. In response to these risks, in July 2019, the government reinforced the standards for indoor air quality to protect the public's health by raising the detection standards for fine dust, ultrafine dust, and formaldehyde in indoor multi-use facilities. People use machines such as air purifiers to improve indoor air quality, or make efforts such as periodic ventilation. In order to reduce or support these other ancillary efforts more effectively, to reduce the generation of pollutants in the building itself, or to adsorb or purify pollutants in the air, use carbon black as an admixture to make a cement hardened body, and to grasp basic physical properties and adsorption capacity. And the result is as follows. As a result of the experiment to determine the appropriate amount of carbon black, it was confirmed that the more the amount of carbon black was added, the better it was in the formaldehyde emission test, but the tendency was not clear when measuring the flexural strength, so a further experiment to improve this is needed.

Urbanization and industrialization have significantly increased the amount of solid waste produced in recent decades, posing considerable disposal problems and environmental burdens. The practice of waste utilization in concrete has gained popularity among construction practitioners and researchers for the efficient use of resources and the transition to the circular economy in construction. This study employed Lytag aggregate, an environmentally friendly pulverized fuel ash-based lightweight aggregate, as a substitute for natural coarse aggregate. At the same time, fly ash, an industrial by-product, was used as a partial substitute for cement. Concrete mix M20 was experimented with using fly ash and Lytag lightweight aggregate. The percentages of fly ash that make up the replacements were 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25%. The Compressive Strength (CS), Split Tensile Strength (STS), and deflection were discovered at these percentages after 56 days of testing. The concrete cube, cylinder, and beam specimens were examined in the explorations, as mentioned earlier. The results indicate that a 10% substitution of cement with fly ash and a replacement of coarse aggregate with Lytag lightweight aggregate produced concrete that performed well in terms of mechanical properties and deflection. The cementitious composites have varying characteristics as the environment changes. Therefore, understanding their mechanical properties are crucial for safety reasons. CS, STS, and deflection are the essential property of concrete. Machine learning (ML) approaches have been necessary to predict the CS of concrete. The Artificial Fish Swarm Optimization (AFSO), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Harmony Search (HS) algorithms were investigated for the prediction of outcomes. This work deftly explains the tremendous AFSO technique, which achieves the precise ideal values of the weights in the model to crown the mathematical modeling technique. This has been proved by the minimum, maximum, and sample median, and the first and third quartiles were used as the basis for a boxplot through the standardized method of showing the dataset. It graphically displays the quantitative value distribution of a field. The correlation matrix and confidence interval were represented graphically using the corrupt method.

계면은 콘크리트 강도 결정 요인 중 가장 약한 영역으로, 골재와 시멘트 페이스트 사이에서 형성된다. 경량골재는 원재료를 팽창, 소성시켜 제조하기 때문에 표면에 수많은 공극을 형성하여 밀도가 낮은 장점을 지니지만 골재 강도가 약하다. 콘크리트는 골재강도가 약하면 골재의 파단이 발생한다. 경량골재의 콘크리트 적용은 골재 파단 때문으로 계면의 강도가 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 경량골재의 계면강도 증진을 위해 고로슬래그 미분말로 골재표면을 코팅하고, 시험체의 임피던스를 비교하여 표면개질에 의한 계면 변화를 분석하였다. 실험결과, 경량골재 표면코팅 시 압축강도가 약 4%정도 증가하였고, 강도 증가에 따라 임피던스 값 중 레지스턴스 값이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of ${\beta}GP$ in the remaining dental pulp tissue after pulpotomy in the dogs' teeth. For vital pulpotomy, 72 dogs' teeth were used and class V cavities were prepared and the pulps were amputated. ZOE and Dycal (Caulk Co., USA) were placed over the amputated tissue and cavities were sealed with ZOE cement in the control group. In the experimental group, ${\beta}GP$, ${\beta}GP$-ZOE, ${\beta}GP$-Dycal were placed over the exposed pulp tissues respectively. Dogs were sacrificed after 1, 2 and 4 weeks following the operations and the teeth were decalcified in the nitric acid, sectioned and stained with HE for light microscopic examination. For electron microscopic examination, specimens were made after 2 and 4 weeks following the operation. A comparative microscopic examination revealed as follows. 1. The dentin bridge was formed continuously due to osteodentin in the ${\beta}GP$-Dycal group at the 2nd week, the dentin bridge composed of osteodentin and tubular dentin was observed at the 4th week. 2. Osteodentin formation was vigorously in the ${\beta}GP$-Dycal than in the Dycal group. 3. In the surface of osteodentin the osteodentinoblasts showing vivid synthetic activity were observed and the matrix vesicles were presented during calcification of osteoid dentin matrix. 4. The dentin bridge formation was not observed in ${\beta}GP$ group and ${\beta}GP$-ZOE group.
