New techniques, technologies, and materials should be used to design and build sports stadiums. Since this century, much progress has been made in covering the roofs of sports stadiums, and the possibility of accurate computer calculation has been provided for stadiums, so by choosing a new structure, we can double the beauty and resistance of these stadiums. A stadium has an excellent and valuable design when its structure, shell, building, materials, and joinery follow a high architectural idea at all levels and scales. This article examines the mechanical performance of polymer cement strength in the construction of football stadiums, along with their structural knowledge in the form of the best examples in the world. Portland cement is one of the most used materials for constructing football stadiums. However, its production requires spending a lot of money, wasting energy, and damaging the environment. Considering the disadvantages in the production and consumption of concrete in different environments, it is necessary to find alternative materials. It should be used with cheaper, simpler technology, abundant primary resources, energy saving, less environmental damage, and better chemical and physical properties in concrete. High-strength concrete technology is considered a new development in the construction industry of concrete structures. In hardened concrete, strength and durability are two main factors, and as the compressive strength of concrete increases, concrete becomes more brittle. As a result, its tensile strength does not increase in proportion to the increase in compressive strength and has less strain tolerance. For this reason, the need to use is evident from the fibers in high-strength concrete. Fibers are used in concrete to increase tensile strength, prevent crack propagation, and significantly increase softness. The increase with the change of these resistances depends on the strength of concrete without fibers, the shape of fibers, and the percentage of fibers. This cement is obtained from the wastes of chemical and petrochemical industries and the wastes from coal combustion, which have the properties mentioned as substitutes for Portland cement.

Broad studies have addressed the issue of structural element damage identification, however, rubber bearing, as a key component of load transmission between the superstructure and substructure, is essential to the operational safety of a bridge, which should be paid more attention to its health condition. However, regarding the limitations of the traditional bearing damage detection methods as well as few studies have been conducted on this topic, in this paper, inspired by the model updating-based structural damage identification, a two-stage bearing damage identification method has been proposed. In the first stage, we deduce a novel bearing damage localization indicator, called element relative MSE, to accurately determine the bearing damage location. In the second one, the prior knowledge of bearing damage localization is combined with sailfish optimization (SFO) to perform the bearing damage estimation. In order to validate the feasibility, a numerical example of a 5-span continuous beam is introduced, also the noise robustness has been investigated. Meanwhile, the effectiveness and engineering applicability are further verified based on an experimental simply supported beam and actual engineering of the I-40 Bridge. The obtained results are good, which indicate that the proposed method is not only suitable for simple structures but also can accurately locate the bearing damage site and identify its severity for complex structure. To summarize, the proposed method provides a good guideline for the issue of bridge bearing detection, which could be used to reduce the difficulty of the traditional bearing failure detection approach, further saving labor costs and economic expenses.

This study is first aimed at identifying the possibility of labour saving and production cost decreasing in rice production with respect to seed broad casting technology. Comparison of labour inputs and production costs of rice in-between USA and Korea and recommendation of policy guidelines for the continous rice cultivation are the second objective of this study. Under the WTO system, rice enterprice is the most vulnerable crop in the sense of labour productivity and price competitiveness in the international market. How to adapt labour saving technology and how to decrease production costs are the most imminent problems to be solved in rice production. To achieve the objectives, survey on nine rice enterprice farms were made in Daeho tidal farmland with respect to the size of farm, labour inputs, productivity, farm mechanization and farm land base development. The existing data on labour saving technology by seed broadcasting which had surveyed by Rural Development Administration were collected to compare the surveyed data from Daeho tidal farm land The study results and policy recommendation are summarized as follows; 1. Labour requirements per 10a for rice enterprise farms with seed broadcasting and with transplanting were estimated 11.4 and 18.5hours respectively. 'This above labour inputs were equivalent to 1/3-1/5 of the national average labour inputs of 53.6 hours which were included transplanting and harvesting by machinery. Considering the labour requirement of 1.7 hours per 10a for the USA rice production, Korea rice culture has possibility to decrease labour demand upto USA level of labour inputs. 2. Production cost of rice in Korea were estimated US$4,181 per ha which were higher than that of USA by 3.00 times and production costs per ton were shown as US$313 for USA rice and US$1,018 for Korean rice. 3. Land productivity of rice per 10a in America was reached to 4,325kg and the counterpart of Korea was about 4,181kg in recent year. In the sense of land productivity, both yields of rice were comparable. 4. The price of japonica type rice similar to Korean traditional rice in international market in 1994 was f.o.b US$466 per ton which was equivalent to import parity price of US$830 per ton in domestic market. The price of rice purchased by Korean G't and received by farmers were amounted to US$ 2,013 and US$ 1,663 respectively in the same year. Domestic prices mentioned above were higher than the import parity price as US$830 by 2.0-2.4 times. 5. American rice production competitive to Korean rice was equivalent to 17,012 thousand tons, 1.28% of the world production of rice in 1991 and consumption of rice in America was amounted to 2,633 thousand tons. Exportable quantity of USA rice were estimated as 4,379 thousand tons of which 52.3%, 2,300 thousand tons, were exported indeed in the same year. 6. The quantity of Korean rice produced in 1991 was estimated 1.00% of the world production. The world amount of rice exported in 1991 was reached to 2.45% of the world production of which 34.2% was occupied by USA The remaining quantities of world exported rice were dominated by Tiland, Pakistan and Vietnam where produced indica variety. 7. Under the given technology, labour inputs per 10a for rice production could be possible to save by 70% of the national average labour requirement of 53.6 hours through implmenting complete farm mechanization with land consolidation and on-farm development and improvement of fanning practices like seedbroad casting txchnology etc. On the other hand, prduction costs of rice could be decreased by 10% rather than 49% as target indicated in the Rural Development Counter Measures of Korean Government in 1994 owing to increasing farm mechanization cost and interest on land service with high price. Accordingly production cost of rice per kg could be decreased only by 10% of the 1994 production cost. 8. Rice policy of Korean government in the future should take into account the labour saving technology to solve labour shortage in rural area and to enhance off-farm incomes by creating job opportunities in agro-industrial zones and special production area. On account of the staple food and main energy source for people's health, rice production even encountered vulnerable economic settings should be continued without price distortion policies and discouraging farmer's intention to cultivate rice by importing institutionally the direct income subsidy system.

장미 생산농가의 대부분은 겨울철 난방비가 생산비의 가장 큰 몫을 차지한다. 요즘과 같은 고유가 시대에 농가의 부담을 줄이기 위하여 난방비 절감율이 높은 난방시스템에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 복사열을 이용한 적외선 등 난방의 경우 식물체와 같은 물체를 먼저 가열하여 주변의 기온이 올리는 방식으로 빠르게 온도를 높일 수 있고 경유를 이용한 난방방식에 비해 비용이 절감되는 장점이 있다. 농가에 설치된 나노탄소 섬유 적외선 등 난방시스템의 현지조사를 실시하여 난방효과 및 난방비 절감율을 분석하고, 나노탄소섬유 적외선 등 난방시스템과 전기히터 난방시스템에서 생산된 '오렌지 플레쉬' 장미의 생육과 절화수명을 조사하였다. 나노탄소섬유 적외선 등의 경우 온실 내부 공기 설정온도가 $20^{\circ}C$인 경우 식물체 온도는 $1{\sim}2^{\circ}C$정도 더 높게 나타났을 뿐만 아니라 베드와 근권부 온도는 $17{\sim}19^{\circ}C$ 정도로 유지하는 등 우수한 난방의 효과를 알 수 있었고, 전기히터 난방시스템과 온수보일러 난방시스템의 추정 난방비를 비교한 결과 난방비 절감 효과가 아주 높게 나타났다. 장미의 생육을 조사한 결과 전기히터 난방시스템에서 생육한 장미와 차이가 없었으며 화색이나 염색의 발현이 더 좋았다. 절화수명에서는 나노탄소섬유 적외선 등에서 생육한 장미가 생체중과 수분 흡수량이 높아 다소 더 길어진 절화수명을 뒷받침 해 주었다.

최근 원유 및 석탄 등의 가격 급등에 따른 에너지 비용이 가중되고 있으며 지속적인 상승이 예상되어 기업은 물론 개인들도 에너지 사용에 보다 많은 부담을 가지게 될 것이다. 따라서 에너지원을 다양화하고 에너지를 안정적으로 공급하는 체계 구축이 시급하며, 기후변화협약의 규제에 대응하고 기존 에너지원과의 가격경쟁력을 확보하여 차세대 산업으로 성장시키기 위한 기술 확보가 절실한 시점이다. 유럽의 경우 바이오디젤 원료 및 공업적 원료로서 식물성 유지확보에 많은 정책적 배려를 하고 있다. 식용 식물성유지의 과잉생산에 따른 폭락과 미국과의 무역마찰을 피하기 위해 농업의 재편을 시도하고 있으며, BHA (Blair House Agreement)를 미국과 맺고 우루과이라운드에 입각한 국산 보조프로그램에 관련된 문제를 해결하였다. 온대지방에서 바이오디젤 연료의 원료로 적합한 유채 기름은 이미 유럽에서 상용화가 이루어지고 있으며, 유채기름을 구성하고 있는 지방산 중에서 oleic acid 함량이 높아야 겨울철 저온유동점이 영하로 낮아져 바이오디젤을 자동차연료로 쓰기에 유리하다. 중부 이남의 농지에 2모작으로 유채재배가 국내에서 가능할 경우 바이오디젤 원료확보와 동시에 헥타르 (ha) 당 7톤 이상의 이산화탄소 ($CO_2$)저감을 주는 효과가 있으며, 농업분야에서 환경 친화적 바이오에너지 생산이 가능해 지고 농민들의 소득증대와 관상용으로 지역관광 발전에도 크게 도움이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
