신뢰성 설계를 위한 설계변수의 특성치에 대하여 국내 해양토질을 이용하여 연구하였다. 특성치 산정에 대한 연구결과, Student/Ovesen, Schneider 및 EN 1990 방법의 순으로 평균치에 근접한 것으로 나타났고, EN 1990 방법은 지반특성치 산정방법의 신뢰성 차원에서 부적합한 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 제시된 네가지 특성치 산정방법은 토질의 변동성이 커짐에 따라 특성치를 보수적으로 평가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한 이러한 산정된 특성치가 실 설계에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 방파제에 대하여 임의 하중하에서 미개량 지반의 지지력 및 침하특성을 검토하였다. Schneider 방법을 이용하여 산정한 결과와 토질정수의 산술평균치를 이용한 결과를 비교한 결과, 허용지지력/작용하중비의 경우 전자가 후자의 65%로 나타났고, 침하량의 경우에는 13.6%를 제시하여 과소평가한 결과였다. 그리고 과거 설계사례에서 산술평균치로 결정된 대표치에 의한 것과 본 논문에서 각 지역의 자료로부터 산정한 특성치에 따른 설계결과를 비교한 결과, 산술평균치로 결정된 대표치에 의한 설계는 대부분 과대평가의 결과를 제시하였다.

Background: Preservatives are used to prevent product deterioration in modeling clay. Parabens, a representative preservative, have been found to be endocrine disruptors and cause skin irritation and allergic reactions. Isothiazolinone preservatives can be irritating to the skin, respiratory tract, and eyes. Thorough investigation and regulation of clay are necessary because clay is marketed to children, who are more sensitive to the toxic effect of chemicals. Objectives: In this study, the presence of 16 preservatives was analyzed in modeling clay and the results were compared with current standards. Methods: A total of 200 samples were collected from 28 children's clay products sold in South Korea (13 from Korea and 15 imported from overseas). Twelve preservatives, such as parabens, were analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Isothiazolinone preservatives (chloromethylisothiazolinone; CMIT, methylisothiazolinone; MIT, octylisothiazolinone; OIT, and benzisothiazolinone; BIT) were analyzed using ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometery (UPLC-MS/MS). Results: Dehydroacetic acid (DHA) was detected the most in the clays at 51.50% (103 cases) detection; 38 cases (median 190.42 ㎍/g) in Korean products and 65 cases (median 169.62 ㎍/g) in Chinese products. CMIT, which is prohibited in Korea, was detected in 14 (median 16.28 ㎍/g) Chinese products. OIT, which has a chemical structure similar to CMIT was found in 28 (median 68.38 ㎍/g) samples in Korean products. Conclusions: The use of CMIT and MIT in children's products is prohibited in Korea and the European Union (EU). The detection of CMIT in Chinese clay products suggests that management is necessary for imported products. It is necessary to review the safety and regulatory status for OIT because OIT was used as a substitute for CMIT and MIT in Korean products.
