With regard to complex-shaped tall buildings whose plans and constructions have been gradually on the increase, this study was aimed to analyze their structural behaviors during construction by applications of construction sequences analyses to prototype models. For twisted tall buildings, total 18 models of with three conditions of a lateral load-resisting system, a twisting angle, and a construction method were selected. A diagrid system and a braced tube system were applied as a lateral load-resisting system. For each lateral load-resisting system, three types of plan with $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, and $2^{\circ}$ twisting angles and three construction methods with construction sequences of exterior tube and interior frame were assumed. The structural performances of tall buildings under constructions were analyzed with results of lateral displacements from construction sequence analyses. Also, construction performances of the construction period and the maximum lift weight were compared.

IZO thin films are prepared on a corning 7059 glass substrate in a mixed gases of Ar +$O_2$ by rf-magnetron sputtering, using a powder target with a composition ratio of $In_{2}O_{3}$ : ZnO=90 : 10 $wt.\%$. Their electrical sheet resistance are strongly dependent on the oxygen concentration introduced during the deposition, a minimum resistivity of $3.7\times10^{-4}\Omega\cdot$ cm and an average transmittance over $85\%$ in the visible range are obtained in a film deposited in pure Ar gas which is close to near the stoichiometry. During the heat treatment from room temperature up tp $600^{\circ}C$ in various environments, the electrical resistance changes are explained by cyrstallizations or oxidizations of In metal and InO contained in the IZO film. The electrical properties due to oxygen adsorption and phase transitions occurring at temperatures over $40000^{\circ}C$ during heat treatment in air are also investigated.

Flow field is an important parameter for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance to have an effect on the reactant supply, heat and water diffusion, and contact resistance. In this study, PEMFC performance was investigated using Cu foam flow field at the cathode of 25 cm² unit cell. Polarization curve and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were performed at different pressure and relative humidity conditions. The Cu foam showed lower cell performance than that of serpentine type due to its high ohmic resistance, but lower activation and concentration loss due to the even reactant distribution of porous structure. Cu foam has the advantage of effective water transport because of its hydrophobicity. However, it showed low membrane hydration at low humidity condition. The metal foam flow field could improve fuel cell performance with a uniform pressure distribution and effective water management, so future research on the properties of metal foam should be conducted to reduce electrical resistance of bipolar plate.

With rising concerns about pesticide spray drift by aerial application, this study attempt to evaluate aerodynamic property and collection efficiency of spray drift according to the leaf area index (LAI) of crop for preventing undesirable pesticide contamination by the spray-drift tunnel experiment. The collection efficiency of the plant with 'Low' LAI was measured at 16.13% at a wind speed of 1 m·s^-1. As the wind speed increased to 2 m·s^-1, the collection efficiency of plant with the same LAI level increased 1.80 times higher to 29.06%. For the 'Medium' level LAI, the collection efficiency was 24.42% and 43.06% at wind speed of 1 m·s^-1 and 2 m·s^-1, respectively. For the 'High' level LAI, it also increased 1.24 times higher as the wind speed increased. The measured results indicated that the collection of spray droplets by leaves were increased with LAI and wind speed. This also implied that dense leaves would have more advantages for preventing the drift of airborne spray droplets. Aerodynamic properties also tended to increase as the LAI increased, and the regression analysis of quadric equation and power law equation showed high explanatory of 0.96-0.99.

In this study, diagonal ventilation circuits that are advantageous in air flow direction control were studied. Based on the results of the study, it could be seen that air volumes in diagonal ventilation circuits could also be calculated using numerical formulas or programs if the air volumes and air flow directions to be infused into diagonal branches are determined in advance as with other serial/parallel circuits. To apply the results, design plans for high level radioactive waste repositories applied with diagonal ventilation circuits and parallel ventilation circuits. To compared the each design plans and obtain expected operation results, ventilation network simulations were conducted through the Ventsim program which is a ventilation networking program. Based on the results, in the case of diagonal repositories that was expected to cause great increases in resistance, fan pressure was 1570 pa, total flux was 84 $m^3/s$, fan efficiency was 76.4%, fan power consumption was 181.2 kW and annual fan operating costs were 178,710,838 and thus maximum around 8% differences were shown in pressure and flux values and a difference of around 1.5% was shown in terms of operating costs.

Recently, due to COV ID-19, many people are spending most of their time indoors. So, there is a rising interest on the indoor air quality in the field of building construction. The main sources for the indoor air pollution are human indoors activity, building materials, living supplies and the polluted air from outdoor. The Korean government has designated 17 indoor air pollutants including fine dust, total airborne bacteria, fungi and carbon dioxide, etc.. Most people are always exposed to assorted bacteria and molds in our daily life, because indoor environment for human, moderate temperature are humidity, it is favourable to the growth of most of bacteria and fungi. Pine needles have an antibacterial effect against bacteria and fungi. In this study, the antibacterial activity against bacteria and fungi was tested by cement matrix using pine needle extract. As a result, the cement matrix using pine needle extract showed antibacterial activities against bacteria, but in the case of fungi, it did not show antifungal activity.

This paper presents the accelerometer which is a key component of TPMS(Tire Pressure Monitoring System). Generally a piezoresistive accelerometer has characteristics of lower cost, better linearity and better immunity about the environmnet noise than a capacitive one. Three types of piezoresistive accelerometers are degined and simulated using ANSYS program. The best one is a piezoresistive sensor which is supported by four beams located at the center of the edge of the mass after comparing the characteristics of resonant frequency of the three types. Considering the sensor size and a simulated maximum stress and maximum displacement, the length of beams is set as $200{\mu}m$. The size of a piezoresistive accelerometer is $3.0mm{\times}3.0mm{\times}0.4mm$. The sensor output is characterized by measuring the output characteristic depending on angle. As a result the offset voltage of the accelerometer is 43.2 mV and its sensitivity is $42.5{\mu}V/V/g$. The temperature bias drift is measured. The shock durability of the sensor is 1500g and the measuring range is 0 ~ 60 g.

Along the seashore regions in Korea, though strong winds with very large strength are frequently witnessed, no system which can provide appropriate speed information for driving vehicle has been introduced. The driving against strong winds could be very dangerous because of the high possibility of accidents such as rollover and collision. These accidents usually resulted from driver's forced driving try even in difficult situation for steering vehicle, and sometimes overspeed without consideration of wind impact to the vehicles. To reduce accident caused by strong winds, it is important to inform drivers of appropriate driving speeds by perceiving strong winds. By setting up WIS at the main points where strong winds frequently appear and using the variable message sign(VMS) connected to the on-line whether information system, it tis possible to provide desired speed information, which can maintain vehicles' tractive force and maximum running resistance. The case study is conducted on the case of Mokpo-Big-Bridge, which is under construction at Mokpo city. The result show that in case the annual average direction of wind is South and the wind speed is over 8m/hr, the desired speed, which is required in order for vehicles running to South direction to maintain the marginal driving power, is 60km/hr. In addition, for the case of a typhoon such as Memi generated in 2003 year, if wind speed had been 18m/sec in Mokpo city at that time, the running resistance at the speed of 40km/hr is calculated as 1131N. This resistance can not be overcome at the 4th gear(1054N) level, therefore, the gear of vehicles should be reduced down to the 3rd level. In this case, the appropriate speed is 40km/h, and at this point the biggest difference between running resistance and tractive force is generated.

활성탄의 특성을 이용하여 상업적으로 문제시되고 있는 수질 및 공기 정화용 항균성 Ag-활성탄을 제조하여 흡착특성, 표면구조 및 박테리아 저항성에 대하여 조사하였다. 높은 비표면적을 가진 활성탄에 대하여 AgNO$_3$를 사용하여 Ag-활성탄을 제조하였다. 0.1에서 1.0까지의 AgNO$_3$ 몰농도에 침적된 Ag-활성탄의 비표면적 값은 874-1475 $m^2$/g의 범위에 분포하고 있었으며, AgNO$_3$몰농도가 증가함에 따라 비표면적이 작아지는 경향을 나타내어 흡착된 Ag가 원료 활성탄의 표면구조에 영향을 주었다. Ag는 활성탄 표면의 기공 주위에 고르게 분포되었으며 활성탄의 표면에 물리적 흡착에 의해 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 항균실험을 위하여 박테리아로서 대장균의 일종인 Escherichia coli를 사용하였으며, 흡착된 Ag의 양이 증가됨에 따라 활성의 범위가 증가되었고, Ag가 흡착되지 않은 활성탄의 경우에 있어서는 활성을 전혀 나타내지 않았다.
