The most design criteria and specifications in Korea utilized to ensure appropriate quality are based on process and prescriptive criteria determining materials, measure and methods. It has many problems including a loss of competitiveness resulting from inhibited creativity of the contractors. The performance-based specifications focused on final product are being proposed, but have difficulty in adapting to the architectural field. In this study the hybrid specification prototype for curtain wall construction was suggested. The specification framework was presented through analysis of linkage between the performance and prescriptive specification cases. Based on the survey with practitioners, the performance inspection process and the sample specification were developed by identifying the essential performance test timings. The applicability of the specification prototype was evaluated by interviews with experts. It was found that the prototype was active and a progressive supporting tool which could support to secure phased performance during construction as well as final performance.

Among the main facilities of the power plant, the circulating water used for cooling the power generation system is supplied through the Circulation Water Intake Basin (CWIB). The vortexes of various types generated in the Pump Sump (PS) of CWIB adversely affect the Circulation Water Pump (CWP) and pipelines. In particular, the free surface vortex accompanied by air intake brings about vibration, noise, cavitation etc. and these are the causes of degradation of CWP performance, damage to pipelines. Then power generation is interrupted by the causes. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the hydraulic characteristics of CWIB through the hydraulic model experiment and apply an appropriate Anti Vortex Device (AVD) that can control the vortex to enable smooth operation of the power plant. In general, free surface vortex is controlled by Curtain Wall (CW) and the submerged vortex is by the anti vortex device of the curtain wall. The detailed specifications are described in the American National Standard for Pump Intake Design. In this study, the circulating water intake part of the Tripoli West 4×350 MW power plant in Libya was targeted, the actual operating conditions were applied, and the vortex reduction effect of the anti vortex device generated in the suction tank among the circulating water intake part was analyzed through a hydraulic model experiment. In addition, a floor splitter was basically applied to control the submerged vortex, and a new type of column curtain wall was additionally applied to control the vortex generated on the free surface to confirm the effect. As a result of analyzing the hydraulic characteristics by additionally applying the newly developed Column Curtain Wall (CCW) to the existing curtain wall, we have found that the vortex was controlled by forming a uniform flow. In addition, the vortex angle generated in the circulating water pump pipeline was 5° or less, which is the design standard of ANSI/HI 9.8, confirming the stability of the flow.

This study was conducted to provide data necessary for reducing the condensation on greenhouse covering in winter season. The variation of VPD (Vapor Pressure Deficit) and condensation flux was analyzed in experimental tomato greenhouse. VPD values in experimental plastic greenhouse were greater than 0.2 kPa of disease prevention threshold, and lower than 0.5 kPa of threshold for dehumidification. The surface temperature of inside covering was slightly higher than the average temperature of outside and above curtain, and changed according to outside temperature. The humidity above curtain was nearly 100% and good condition for condensation. The humidity below curtain was 75~90% and comparatively stable condition for growing. The condensation flux value in experimental greenhouse corresponded with result of Seginer and Kantz (1986).

This study introduce that we studied optimization and possibility of smoke spread prevention with air-curtain system in undersea tunnel named from Ho-Nam to Jeju line in domestic if a fire break out in train. To verify performance, air-curtain system is installed between rescue station platform and each door of passenger car to provide safety route to evacuator and we studied simulation model of various cases about 15 MW fire severity considering domestic specifications. As a result we verified the fact that CASE1(air jet with 15degree toward passenger car) and CASE 5 (air jet with 15degree toward passenger car and pressure air blast from cross passage) is best Smoke Spread Prevention and less inflow carbon monoxide. Through above results, we expect that air-curtain system is one of the facilities for fire safety and provide us safety platform route in undersea tunnel.

The cultivars of wine grapes 'Doonuri', 'Narsha', 'Cabernet Sauvignon', and 'Merlot' were cultivated in Modified-T (MT), Modified-T Cane pruning (MTC), and Geneva Double Curtain (GDC) trellises, and the changes in vine growth, fruit and wine characteristics were compared for two years (2018 and 2019). With respect to the vine growth characteristics, the wine grape cultivars cultivated in the GDC trellis were significantly inferior to those cultivated in the MT or MTC trellises. The grape yields of the cultivars cultivated in GDC trellise increased by 1.5 to 2 times cultivated in the GDC trellises compared to those cultivated in the other trellis, however, the fruit characteristics (total soluble solids, titratable acidity, and berry weight) did not differ among the differently cultivated groups. Moreover, the anthocyanin content and red color of the wine were significantly enriched in all red wine grape cultivars cultivated in the GDC trellises.
