This study is performed to evaluate performance of the developed pipe when using for underground drainage in fm land, the efficiency of the pipe is examined such as quantity of drainage, water temperature and other field performance in all weather condition. Results of this study, the higher permeability through wall of the pipe is achieved by making various size pores using open-graded aggregate. And in all weather conditions, permeable polymer concrete pipe perform much better than conventional perforated pipes. During rice farming period, quantity of drainage the permeable polymer concrete pipe is 1.25 time greater than conventional perforated pipes. Therefore, use of the permeable polymer concrete pipe is greater advantages when considering collecting and draining capacity compared with conventional perforated pipes.

The conventional pile cap reinforcement systems regulated in the design specifications have some restrictions in design and construction such as requirement of shear key, disposition of reinforcing bars and insurance of anchoring length of reinforcements. This study suggests a new type of steel pipe pile cap system with perforated flat bar shear connector as an alternative to the conventional pile cap system for the improvement in structural performance and simplification of construction. And, experimental results of push-out and bending behavior are scribed for the evaluation of structural performance of the new pile cap system and it was compared to the structural behavior of conventional pile cap system.

The conventional pile cap reinforcement systems regulated in the design specifications have some restrictions in design and construction such as disposition of reinforcing bars, insurance of anchoring length of reinforcements and requirement of shear key. This study suggests a new type of steel pipe pile cap system with perforated rib shear connector as an alternative to the conventional pile cap system for the improvement in structural performance and simplification of construction. And, experimental results of push-out are scribed for the evaluation of structural performance of the new pile cap system and it was compared to the structural behavior of conventional pile cap system.

Lack of the space in many diesel vehicles make it difficult to design and install the catalytic muffler to reduce emissions. For this reason, inlet part of the catalytic muffler is made of L-type which has lower flow uniformity than conventional I-type, and catalytic muffler has complex internal structure by various insertions, which affect the flow uniformity and pressure drop of the systems. In this work, the flow characteristics such as flow uniformity and pressure drop have been numerically investigated by changing such various geometries as inlet shape, porosity, and outlet shape inside the muffler with the three-dimensional turbulent incompressible flow solver. Total 4 different cases are considered in order to find optimal configurations of the catalytic muffler in view of high flow uniformity and low pressure drop. The results show that Case 2 which has no induction cone and outlet perforated pipe has higher uniformity index and lower pressure drop than others considered in this work.
