PSC(Prestressed Concrete)거더 교량은 긴장재(강선)를 통하여 교량 양쪽에서 압축력을 추가하는 방 식으로 외부에 대한 저항력을 확보한다. PSC 거더 교량의 긴장 방식에 따라 콘크리트 타설 전(프리텐 션)과 타설 후(포스트텐션)로 구분할 수 있다. 반면에 프리텐션 긴장의 경우 강선이 구조물과 직접 결 합하는 방식이기 때문에 전용관 삽입 및 그라우트 채움 공정이 생략되어 하중이 비교적 가벼울 뿐만 아니라, 긴장재 부식 방지를 위한 유지관리에 매우 효율적이다. 그러나 프리텐션 긴장 방식은 별도의 긴장 시설이 필요하므로 주로 공장에서 제작되고, 건설 현장까지 이동이 필요하기 때문에 길이 (L=18m) 및 무게(W=30tonf)의 제한이 있다. 프리텐션 긴장 공법의 경우 별도의 반력대 및 긴장 시설 이 필요하여 주로 공장에서 제작하고 현장으로 이동 및 설치되고 있다. 도로를 이용한 이동이 필요하 기 때문에 거더의 경간 및 중량의 제한이 발생하게 된다. 따라서, 경간장 25 m 이상의 거더의 경우 포스트텐션을 통한 현장 제작이 주로 이루어 지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 별도의 시설없이 현장에서 프 리텐션 긴장이 가능한 PSC 거더 시공 공법을 제안하였다. 또한, 장경간 PSC 거더 제작을 위한 포스트 텐션 기반의 세그먼트 제작 공법을 제안하고, 그 성능을 검증하였다.

In this study, project information of government-funded research institute in the food field was collected and analyzed to systematically identify the factors affecting the process of transferring technological achievements of public research institute to the private sector. This study hypothesized that human resources, financial resources, and technological characteristics as input factors of R&D projects affect output factors, such as research papers or patents produced by R&D projects. Moreover, these outputs would serve as drivers of the technology transfer as one of the R&D outcomes. Linear Regression Analysis and Poisson Regression Analysis were conducted to empirically and sequentially investigate the relationship between input factors and output and outcome of R&D projects and the results are as follows: First, the principle investigator's career and participating researcher's size as human resource factors have an influence on both the number of SCI (science citation index) papers and patent registration. Second, the research duration and research expenses for the current year have an influence on the number of SCI papers and patent registrations, which are the main outputs of R&D projects. Third, the technology life cycle affects the number of SCI papers and patent registrations. Lastly, the higher the number of SCI papers and patent registrations, the more it affected the number of technology transfers and the amount of technology transfer contract.

This study aimed to develop virtual reality (VR)-based content on surgical aseptic techniques for nursing students and evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: The content was developed following the system development life cycle, involving analysis, design, implementation, and evaluation. Experts and fourth-year nursing students validated the content for its validity and usability of the content. The study was conducted from December 2022 to April 2023. Results: The VR content was developed using Keller's ARCS motivational design model (attention, relevance, confidence, and satisfaction) as the fundamental strategy. Upon applying the VR content developed in this study, the research participants confirmed the values of the following sub-factors: confidence (3.86 out of 5), relevance (3.74 out of 5), attention (3.68 out of 5), and satisfaction (3.65 out of 5). Conclusion: VR-based surgical content on aseptic techniques demonstrates potential benefits for nursing students. Therefore, through systematic development and utilizing of diverse nursing skill content, we can enhance the core competencies of nursing students, providing them with high-quality practical education.

Plasma melting technology uses electrical arc phenomena such as lightning to create hightemperature sparks of about 1,600 degrees or more to meet waste disposal requirements through treatment and reduction without distinguishing radioactive waste generated during nuclear power plant operation and dismantling according to physical characteristics. Decommissioning radioactive waste scabbed concrete occurs when polishing and cutting the contaminated structure surface to a certain depth. In this study, Scabbed concrete containing paint was confirmed for volume reduction and disposal safety using plasma treatment technology, and it is planned to be verified through continuous empirical tests.

At domestic nuclear power plant, concrete containers are stored to store waste generated before waste acceptance criteria (WAC) was established. Concrete container store concentrated waste liquid and waste resin. In order to disposal radioactive waste to a disposal site, it is necessary to conduct a characteristic evaluation inside the waste to check whether it satisfies the WAC. Two types of concrete containers are stored: round and square. The round type is filled with one 200-liter drum, and the square type is filled with four 200-liter drums. In the case of a round shape, the top lid is fastened with bolts, so it is possible to collect samples after opening the top lid without the need for additional equipment. However, in the case of a square shape, there is no top lid, and concrete is poured to cure the lid, so the separate equipment for characteristic evaluation is required. It is necessary to install a workstation for sample collection on the top of the concrete container, equipment for coring the top of the concrete container, and a device to prevent concrete dust scattering. Currently, the design of equipment for evaluating the characteristics of concrete containers has been completed, and equipment optimization through mock-up test will be performed in the future.

In the establishment of procedures for managing spent fuel, the development of an information system for data management is an indispensable prerequisite. Given the prolonged period of spent nuclear fuel management, marked by numerous personnel changes and the anticipation of vast data retention, addressing this matter appropriately is imperative, particularly in the specialized field of spent nuclear fuel operations. Recognizing the need for a method to mitigate these challenges, we endeavored to apply semantic technology to the information system. To achieve this, we constructed the ontology of spent nuclear fuel and conducted research to transform it into a relational database. As a result, the information system, developed by the application of semantic technology, has attained the capability to comprehend and perceive relationships among information itself. Through this research, the system not only addresses previously identified concerns but also enhances its versatility, enabling it to perform functions previously unattainable within existing information systems.
