Improvement of Joint Sealant Configuration and Performance IMPROVEMENT OF JOINT SEALANT CONFIGURATION AND PERFORMANCE A Dissertation by JINHO KIM Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Chair of Committee, Dan Zollinger Committee Members, Robert Lytton Maryam Sakhaeifar Reza Langari Head of Department, Robin Autenrieth May 2021 Major Subject: Civil Engineering Copyright 2021 Jinho Kim ABSTRACT The jointing of concrete pavement is intended to provide free movement within the concrete slab. Joint sealing material, called joint sealant, has evolved in recent decades to prevent or reduce the amount of water from rainfall events infiltrating a pavement structure. As this evolution has progressed, joint sealant practices have changed. However, current practices and their respective performances have yet to be fully documented. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a standardized approach to joint sealant evaluation, as well as investigate and assess joint sealant practices in Portland cement concrete design. Current joint sealants are designed without consideration of the strength and shape of the bond between the concrete and sealant and its effect on stress concentration. This often results in adhesive failure within 1.5 years, much earlier than the expected service life of the joint sealant (20 years). Bond strength and stress on the interface between the sealant and joint reservoir face play important roles in adhesive failure. Therefore, in the present research, experimental bond tests and a finite element method (FEM) analysis are conducted to examine the nature of the bond at the sealant/joint reservoir interface. In addition, the stress distribution along the interface is also investigated by analyzing the geometric shape factor (SF), degree of curvature (DoC), and joint preparation conditions. For this study, data is gathered through a literature review, survey of Departments of Transportation (DOTs), and subsequent discussions with selected agencies to determine case documentation practices. In addition, re-evaluation of the SF was conducted, and a new design factor, DoC, is introduced and explored through the FEM and experimental ii analysis. With these factors, the reduction of bond strength and increase in stress at the interface may be limited, reducing the potential for early adhesive failure. This study examines the effects of moisture content on bond strength, the main cause of joint sealant failure. Sealant use in various climatic regions throughout the United States is examined, and DOTs are surveyed with regards to how they handled moisture. As a result of this investigation, it becomes clear that some advances in the composition, design, and preparation of sealants, especially in terms of the design of and inspection methods for narrow joints, appear to conflict with established recommendations. It also appears that institutions lack the necessary tools and control protocols to facilitate the proper inspection of cleaning and joint preparation work. The effects of poor joint preparation (i.e., dirt and moisture) on joint strength and the shape of the joint sealant (i.e., SF and DoC) should be considered when designing and installing sealants. This research evaluates the effects of surface moisture on the tensile bond strength between a joint sealant and reservoir. The causes of degradation in adhesion strength are evaluated by measuring the sealant wetting angle. Finally, it is determined that the best choice of sealant may depend on climate. Those not currently preferred in wet-freeze regions may be used if accompanied by proper pretreatment and moisture control, contributing to the stable lifespan of joint sealants and concrete pavement alike. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deepest gratitude to my advisor, Dr. Dan Zollinger, for or providing invaluable insight, expertise and guidance throughout the course of this research.

  • The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011
    The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011 by Sunyoung Yang A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Graduate Department of Anthropology University of Toronto © Copyright by Sunyoung Yang Year of 2015 The Korean Internet Freak Community and Its Cultural Politics, 2002–2011 Sunyoung Yang Doctor of Philosophy Department of Anthropology University of Toronto 2015 Abstract In this dissertation I will shed light on the interwoven process between Internet development and neoliberalization in South Korea, and I will also examine the formation of new subjectivities of Internet users who are also becoming neoliberal subjects. In particular, I examine the culture of the South Korean Internet freak community of DCinside.com and the phenomenon I have dubbed “loser aesthetics.” Throughout the dissertation, I elaborate on the meaning-making process of self-reflexive mockery including the labels “Internet freak” and “surplus (human)” and gender politics based on sexuality focusing on gender ambiguous characters, called Nunhwa, as a means of collective identity-making, and I explore the exploitation of unpaid immaterial labor through a collective project making a review book of a TV drama Painter of the Wind. The youth of South Korea emerge as the backbone of these creative endeavors as they try to find their place in a precarious labor market that has changed so rapidly since the 1990s that only the very best succeed, leaving a large group of disenfranchised and disillusioned youth. I go on to explore the impact of late industrialization and the Asian financial crisis, and the nationalistic desire not be left behind in the age of informatization, but to be ahead of the curve.

    Appropriation of Religion: The Re-formation of the Korean Notion of Religion in Global Society Kyuhoon Cho Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy In Religious Studies Department of Classics & Religious Studies Faculty of Arts University of Ottawa © Kyuhoon Cho, Ottawa, Canada, 2013 ABSTRACTS Appropriation of Religion: The Re-formation of the Korean Notion of Religion in Global Society By Kyuhoon Cho Doctor of Philosophy in Religious Studies, University of Ottawa, Canada Dr. Peter F. Beyer, Supervisor Dr. Lori G. Beaman, Co-supervisor This dissertation explores the reconfiguration of religion in modern global society with a focus on Koreans’ use of the category of religion. Using textual and structural analysis, this study examines how the notion of religion is structurally and semantically contextualized in the public sphere of modern Korea. I scrutinize the operation of the differentiated communication systems that produces a variety of discourses and imaginaries on religion and religions in modern Korea. Rather than narrowly define religion in terms of the consequence of religious or scientific projects, this dissertation shows the process in which the evolving societal systems such as politics, law, education, and mass media determine and re-determine what counts as religion in the emergence of a globalized Korea. I argue that, ever since the Western notion of religion was introduced to East Asia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, religion was, unlike in China and Japan, constructed as a positive social component in Korea, because it was considered to be instrumental in maintaining Korean identity and modernizing the Korean nation in the new global context.

Doped indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films are the predominant transparent conductor material. However, ITO thin films are brittle, making them unsuitable for the emerging flex- ible devices, and suffer from high material and processing cost. In my thesis, we developed a variety of transparent conductors toward a performance comparable with or superior to ITO thin films, with lower cost and potential for scalable manufacturing. Metal nanomesh (NM), hierarchical graphene/metal microgrid (MG), and hierarchical metal NM/MG ma- terials were investigated.

  • Beyond Korean Style: Shaping a New Growth Formula Growth a New Shaping Style: Korean Beyond
    McKinsey Global Institute McKinsey Global Institute Beyond Korean style: Shaping a new growth formula April 2013 Beyond Korean style: Shaping a new growth formula The McKinsey Global Institute The McKinsey Global Institute (MGI), the business and economics research arm of McKinsey & Company, was established in 1990 to develop a deeper understanding of the evolving global economy. Our goal is to provide leaders in the commercial, public, and social sectors with the facts and insights on which to base management and policy decisions. MGI research combines the disciplines of economics and management, employing the analytical tools of economics with the insights of business leaders. Our “micro-to-macro” methodology examines microeconomic industry trends to better understand the broad macroeconomic forces affecting business strategy and public policy. MGI’s in-depth reports have covered more than 20 countries and 30 industries. Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed job creation, resource productivity, cities of the future, the economic impact of the Internet, and the future of manufacturing. MGI is led by McKinsey & Company directors Richard Dobbs and James Manyika. Michael Chui, Susan Lund, and Jaana Remes serve as MGI principals. Project teams are led by the MGI principals and a group of senior fellows and include consultants from McKinsey & Company’s offices around the world. These teams draw on McKinsey & Company’s global network of partners and industry and management experts. In addition, leading economists, including Nobel laureates, act as research advisers.
