  • Due to the enhancing environmental concerns worldwide with the need of increasing demand for sustainability of building design, maintenance and operation, key stakeholders including the government and developers in many countries strike for the benefits in implementing the green design and building concepts in constructing, infrastructure as well as the buildings. Different countries have their standards or certifications for green buildings while the adoption rate of BEAM-Plus in HK is relatively less compared with other developed countries such as Europe, USA and Japan. Therefore, in the present research, BEAM-Plus, the beginning assessment method of green standard implemented in HK, will be mainly discussed. Current situation of BEAM-Plus implementation in HK will be reviewed and then adopt a systematic approach via literature review and research paper, questionnaire with Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to depict the opportunities and challenges from the perspective of government and developers regarding implementing BEAM-Plus in HK and thus investigate the implementation gaps. It is found that for both the macro level of opportunity and challenge, the most important criterion is political, in which the weighting value are 0.3114 and 0.2321 respectively. It is obvious that government plays a critical and significant role in affecting the development of BEAM plus. Technological difficulty is also an important factor that challenging and hindering the implementation of BEAM plus, the weighting value is 0.2194 under challenge hierarchy. More experts and professionals should be imported to Hong Kong to enhance the technique is building green buildings. At the end of this paper, solutions and actions will also be suggested and concluded in alleviating the challenges. Finally, solutions and actions are suggested and concluded in alleviating the challenges. Findings from this research can guide developers to consider adopting green elements, government and Green Building Council in HK to review green buildings' policy.

  • The important parameters deciding the fluctuation of laser beam are smoothing capacitor, frequency and the characteristics of laser resonator. In this thesis, we control the fluctuation of $CO_2$ laser in realtime by changing Duty-Ratio of IGBT and switching frequency with fixed the smoothing capacitor to improve the fluctuation of laser beam. We detect the light on laser resonator using a CdS photo sensor to improve ripple factor of laser beam and feedback fluctuated signals refined by a band pass filter into the control circuit to stabilize fluctuation actively. There is much to be desired in the realtime controlling technique of the light on laser discharge tube in electrical signal. We propose switching control technique with microprocessor and photo sensing technique by controlling switch devices optimum operation and feedback signals detected by a photo sensor into the laser power supply in order to improve ripple factor of the $CO_2$ laser beam.

  • Background: Gamma-ray spectrometry helps in radiation shielding problems and different applications of radioisotopes. Experimental arrangements including broad beam geometries are widely used. The aim is to investigate and evaluate the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra via attenuation by environmental materials. Materials and Methods: The photo peak to nominated parts in the ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra and the attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$ from broad beam geometries are measured for the materials water, soil, sand and cement at the energies 0.662, 1.25, and 1.332 MeV with a $3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}{\times}3{^{\prime}^{\prime}}$ NaI(Tl) detector. Results and Discussion: The ${\gamma}-ray$ spectra vary according to changes in the effective atomic number $Z_{eff}$ of the attenuator, the photon energy and the solid angle. The peak to total ratios are the most sensitive parts to variations in the experimental conditions and overturn in the region 0.663 MeV to 1.332 MeV. This is indicated as inversion trend. The results are discussed in view of $Z_{eff}$ and the experimental conditions. The intensity build-up is larger at the lower energy and larger scattering angles in agreement with Klein-Nishina formula and other results. The build-up factor B is$${\sim_=}$$1 at high ${\gamma}-energies$ and small scattering angles. Conclusion: The sensitivity to material characteristics decrease gradually from peak: to total, to Compton valley, to Compton plateau ratios. Rigorous collimation is necessary at small energies. Cement, of the largest $Z_{eff}$, is characterized by the maximum broad beam mass attenuation coefficients ${\mu}_b/{\rho}$. The obtained results provide information to decide for the suitable experimental set-up based on aim of the work.

  • Despite considerable life casualty and financial loss resulting from past earthquakes, many existing steel buildings are still seismically vulnerable as they have no lateral resistance or at least need some sort of retrofitting. Passive control methods with decreasing seismic demand and increasing ductility reduce rate of vulnerability of structures against earthquakes. One of the most effective and practical passive control methods is to use a shear panel system working as a ductile fuse in the structure. The shear Panel System, SPS, is located vertically between apex of two chevron braces and the flange of the floor beam. Seismic energy is highly dissipated through shear yielding of shear panel web while other elements of the structure remain almost elastic. In this paper, lateral behavior and related benefits of this system with narrow-flange link beams is experimentally investigated in chevron braced simple steel frames. For this purpose, five specimens with IPE (narrow-flange I section) shear panels were examined. All of the specimens showed high ductility and dissipated almost all input energy imposed to the structure. For example, maximum SPS shear distortion of 0.128-0.156 rad, overall ductility of 5.3-7.2, response modification factor of 7.1-11.2, and finally maximum equivalent viscous damping ratio of 35.5-40.2% in the last loading cycle corresponding to an average damping ratio of 26.7-30.6% were obtained. It was also shown that the beam, columns and braces remained elastic as expected. Considering this fact, by just changing the probably damaged shear panel pieces after earthquake, the structure can still be continuously used as another benefit of this proposed retrofitting system without the need to change the floor beam.

  • Buckling is one of the most critical phoneme in the design of steel structures. Lateral torsional buckling (LTB) is particularly significant for slender beams generally subjected to loading in plane. The web distortion effects on LTB are not addressed explicitly in standards for flexural design of steel I-section members. Hence, the present study is focused to predict the influence of the web distortion on the elastic (Lr) limiting lengths given in American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) code for the lateral torsional buckling (LTB) behavior of steel beams due to no provision in the code for consideration of web distortion. For this aim, the W44x335 beam is adopted in the buckling analysis carried out by the ABAQUS finite element (FE) program since it is one of the most critical sections in terms of lateral torsional buckling (LTB). The strain results at mid-height of the web at mid-span of the beam are taken into account as the monitoring parameters. The web strain results are found to be relatively greater than the yield strain value when L/Lr is equal to 1.0. In other words, the ratio of L/Lr is estimated from the numerical analysis to be about 1.5 when the beam reaches its first yielding at mid-span of the beam at mid-height of the section. Due to the effect of web distortion, the elastic limiting length (Lr) from the numerical analysis is obtained to be considered as greater than the calculated length from the code formulation. It is suggested that the formulations of the limiting length proposed in the code can be corrected considering the influence of the web distortion. This correction can be a modification factor or a shape factor that reduces sectional slenderness for the LTB formulation in the code.

  • 최근 선형가속기를 이용한 방사선치료는 세기조절방사선치료, 정위적방사선치료 등이 널리 사용되고 있다. 이러한 방사선 치료기법은 일반적으로 역방향치료계획을 사용함으로써 소조사면을 제외하기 어렵다. 그러므로 소조사면의 선량특성에 관한 정확한 측정이 필요하다. 따라서 유효체적이 서로 다른 검출기를 이용하여 소조사면에 대한 깊이선량백분율, 빔측면도, 그리고 선량출력계수를 측정하여 각 검출기의 선량특성 평가하고자 하였다. 실험 결과 X-선 6 MV에너지에 대한 빔선질($PDD_{20}/PDD_{10}$)은 $10{\times}10cm^2$에서 Diode 검출기는 Pinpoint 검출기에 비해 2.4%로 높았다. 모든 조사면에서 유효체적이 작은 Diode 검출기가 다른 검출기들과 50%이상 작은 반음영을 보여 공간분해능이 우수한 것으로 평가되었다. 출력선량계수는 조사면 $2{\times}2cm^2$에서 Semiflex 검출기 다른 검출기에 비해 2%정도 적게 측정되기 시작해서 조사면 $1{\times}1cm^2$에서는 20%정도 차이를 보이며 유효성이 없는 것으로 판단된다. 조사면 $1{\times}1cm^2$에서 Diode 검출기와 Pinpoint 검출기의 측정값은 13%정도 차이를 보였다. 조사면 $3{\times}3cm^2$이하에서는 검출기의 유효체적에 따른 출력선량계수의 차이가 크므로 가능한 유효체적이 작은 검출기를 사용해야 될 것으로 사료된다.

  • Recently, as the use of high-performance materials and complex composite methods has increased, the need for advanced design specifications for steel-concrete composite structures has grown. In this study, various design provisions for ultimate flexural strengths of composite beams were reviewed. Design provisions reviewed included the load and resistance factor design method of AISC 360-10 and the partial factor methods of KSSC-KCI, Eurocode 4 and JSCE 2009. The design moment strengths of composite beams were calculated according to each design specification and the variation of the calculated strengths with design variables was investigated. Furthermore, the relationships between the deformation capacity and resistance factor for flexure were examined quantitatively. Results showed that the design strength and resistance factor for flexure of composite beams were substantially affected by the design formats and variables.

  • 본 논문은 철도차량 및 자동차용 패널의 진동 및 소음억제용으로 사용되는 감쇠 처리재의 감쇠특성 평가에 관한 연구이다. 감쇠재의 모드별 매개변수들을 구하기 위해 다른 종류의 PVC를 알루미늄과 철계 빔위에 도포한 시편을 제작하여 가진시험을 수행하였다. 시편은 10 Hz부터 1,000 Hz까지의 주파수 대역을 조화력으로 가진하여 가속도계로 전달 모빌리티값을 측정하였다. 감쇠계수는 몇 가지 이론인 반력법, 최소 탄젠트오차법 및 최소 각오차법 조합법과 위상변화법을 모드 원호곡선 맞춤과 최소자승오차법을 사용하여 작성한 통합 프로그램을 이용하여 평가하였다. 감쇠값이 비교적 낮고 측정값이 선형인 경우는 어느 방법을 사용해도 되나, 감쇠값이 높거나 측정값에 비선형특성이 있는 경우에는 최소 각오차법이 감쇠계수 측정오차를 줄일 수 있다. 도포 감쇠재의 동적특성 평가로부터 구한 재료의 물성값은 차체나 철도차량 하부 기기함과 같이 복잡한 구조물의 소음해석을 위한 유한요소법에 사용할 수 있다. 빔 시험에서 수행한 모드별 감쇠계수의 특성 평가 결과 2차 이상 모드의 주파수 대역에서 감쇠 효과가 크기 때문에 구조소음억제에 유용할 것으로 사료된다.
