  • Coastal sand dune systems are particularly fragile and threaten the environment. However, these systems provide fundamental ecosystem services to the nearby urban areas, acting, for example, as protective buffers against erosion. In this paper, we attempt to classify the biotope types of coastal sand dune ecosystems and select an index for the assessment of the conservation value. The types of biotopes are categorized based on the vegetation map; floras are examined in order to research the effects of hinterlands on coastal sand dunes. In addition, a naturalization rate and an urbanization index for each biotope type in hinterlands are analyzed. In the ecosystem of coastal sand dunes, the urbanization index and naturalization rate shows a higher value in sand dunes with areas of road, residential, and idle land in farm villages, rice fields, and fields. On the contrary, a lower value in the urbanization index and naturalization rate is present when typical biotope types, such as sand dune vegetation and natural Pinus thunbergii forests, are widely distributed. Based on these results, urbanization index and naturalization rate should be used as critical indices for the assessment of the ecosystem of costal sand dunes.

  • 굳지 않은 경량골재 콘크리트의 다양한 특성에 대한 경량굵은골재 최대크기와 천연모래 치환율의 영향을 평가하기 위해 15배합의 경량골재 콘크리트가 배합되었다. 또한 굳지 않은 경량골재 콘크리트의 유동특성에 영향을 줄 수 있는 경량골재의 내부구조와 공극의 분포 및 시간에 따른 흡수 특성 등이 측정되었다. 실험 결과 경량골재 콘크리트의 초기 슬럼프는 천연 모래 치환율이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 전경량 콘크리트의 슬럼프는 배합 후 30~60분 사이에 초기 슬럼프의 80%가 감소하였다. 경량골재 콘크리트의 공기량과 블리딩 량은 경량굵은골재 최대크기와 천연 모래 치환율에 중요한 영향을 받았다. 경험식인 ACI 211과 콘크리트표준시방서는 경량골재 콘크리트의 공기량을 과소평가 하였으며, 천연 모래 치환율의 감소할수록 그 과소평가 정도는 증가하였다. 이 연구에 의해 제안된 경량골재 콘크리트의 공기량과 블리딩율에 대한 예측모델은 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였다.

  • This study investigates influence of organic fiber reinforced materials, affecting crack reduction of cement mortar using low grade natural sand(LNS). According to the test, for the properties of fresh mortar, the mortar using natural sand(NS) exhibited that flow value increased until adding most of fiber less than 1$\%$, except for Polyvinly alchol fiber(PVA), and then it decreased. Meanwhile, the mortar mixed with LNS showed that increase of fiber content decrease flow value, regardless of fiber type. Air content increased in the mortar adding nylon fiber(NY) and polypropylene fiber(PP), while it maintained or decreased in the mortar adding cellulose fiber(CL) and PVA. Compressive strength of the mortar does not affect during early age, but mortar using NS and adding 0.1$\%$ of fiber content increased the value, except for PP, at 28 age days, while the mortar mixed with LNS decreased. For the properties of tensile strength, mortar, using NS and adding individually PP and PVA, exhibited higher value. Especially 0.1$\%$ of NY provided the highest value. In addition, the mortar mixed with LNS resulted in improved tensile value as fiber content increased. It is demonstrated that mortar using LNS led to higher length change ratio than natural sand.

  • This study was conducted to investigate water quality after construction of straightened concrete block at Tongbok stream and difference of water quality between natural stream and municipal stream artificially straightened. In Tongbok upstream which was natural block having a variety of sand, there was ability to purify pollutants by microorganism and filtration. There was ability to purify pollutants in natural section of the natural midstream which have a diversity and a plenty of sands. In Tongbok upstream BOD concentration was lower than that of reservoir, but in midstream which was straightened concrete block without sand, BOD and NH$_3$-N concentration was higher than that of upstream and deteriorated water quality.

  • This paper reports an experimental study into the rheological behaviour of Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC). The investigation is aimed at quantifying the effect of the varying amount of mineral admixtures on the rheology, setting time and compressive strength of SDC containing natural sand and crushed sand. Ordinary Portland cement (OPC) in conjunction with the mineral admixtures was used in different replacement ratio keeping the mix paste volume (35%) and water binder ratio (0.4) constant at controlled laboratory atmospheric temperature ($33^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$). The results show that the properties and amount of fine aggregate have a strong influence on the admixture demand for similar initial workability, i.e., flow. The large amounts of fines and lower value of fineness modulus (FM) of natural sand primarily increases the yield stress of the SDC. The mineral admixtures at various replacement ratios strongly contribute to the yield stress and plastic viscosity of SDC due to inter particle friction and cohesion.

  • Nearly 300 bottom sediments and 20 box-cores were sampled from the Asan bay. The central portion of the Asan bay is covered by sand, slightly gravelly sand and gravelly muddy sand. Between the central and marginal zones gravelly mud and slightly gravelly sandy mud are characteristically distributed. The gravel population in the sediments seems to be originated from the rocky bottom on the area near the bay because the gravel is angular and composed of the schist and gneiss. The quartz/feldspar ratio is about 3/2. It is considered to be that the amount of feldspar in this bay is much higher than that of any other areas in the Yellow Sea. This is considerd to be comparatively short distance of transport ion of these sediment from the provenance.

  • Recently, interest grew recently on the quality of aggregates following the diminution of primary resources from river and the growing construction demand which exhausted high-quality sand sources around large cities and incited the use of low grade aggregates like shore sand and sea sand that can be supplied in natural state. Especially, the environmental preservation concern and the augmentation of public grievance about the exploitation of sea sand as substitute to river sand are gradually impeding the supply. This situation aggravated by the recent interdiction to extract sea sand which resulted in sand crisis that even led once to the suspension of construction works. The lack of sea sand and river sand increased the exploitation of crushed sand which occupies now nearly 20% of the whole quantity of fine aggregates. And, the use of crushed sand may be expected to grow continuously in the future. This paper described that the properties of crushed sand and the concrete using the crushed sand, the technologies to improve quality of crushed sand and the concrete in order to provide information for the production of high-quality concrete using crushed sand.

  • A marine geological investigation of the glass sand deposit in the beach along the west coast of Ahnmyeon Island, South Chung Cheong Province, Korea was carried out to solve the problen of sand material migration, textural properties of the sands and the glass sand reserve for future exploitation. Several bos coring analyses by means of the internal sedimentary structure.i.e., cross- stratification show significantly that most sands are moving and accumulation along the mean vector direction of $N20^{\circ}E-N60^{\circ}$ E in the area investigated. The average mean size of the sand sediments in the area studied ranges from 0.212mm to 0.275mm. The mechanism of sand migration in the area is considered to be interplay between longshore drift and flood tidal current. The sorting value of the sands ranges from 0.24 to 0.50. Therefore, these sand sediments are characteristic to be "well sorted". The average chemical composition of the glass sand in the area is the following: $SiO\_2$:-90.8%, $Al_2O_3$: -2.18%, $Fe_2O_3$:-0.73%, CaO:-1.79. The binocular microscope examination of the sands show that most of the sands are characteristically ice- clear quartz in mineral composition and their count percentage is mostly 92% or 96%.

  • Small sized manganese dioxide particles are immobilized onto the surface of sand by the wet impregnation process. The surface morphology of the solid, i.e., immobilized manganese dioxide natural sand (IMNS) is performed by taking scanning electron microscope images and characterized by the X-ray diffraction data. The specific surface area of the solid is obtained, which shows a significant increase in the specific surface area obtained by the immobilization of manganese dioxide. The $pH_{PZC}$ (point of zero charge) is found to be 6.28. Further, the IMNS is assessed in the removal of As(III) and As(V) pollutants from aqueous solutions under the batch and column operations. Batch reactor experiments are conducted for various physicochemical parametric studies, viz. the effect of sorptive pH (pH 2.0-10.0), concentration (1.0-25.0 mg/L), and background electrolyte concentrations (0.0001-0.1 mol/L $NaNO_3$). Further, column experiments are conducted to obtain the efficiency of IMNS under dynamic conditions. The breakthrough data obtained by the column experiments are employed in non-linear fitting to the Thomas equation, so as to estimate the loading capacity of the column for As(III) and As(V).
