  • Coastal and fishing facilities are gradually deteriorating in function due to the continual accumulation of soil sediments, which has affected local economic activities. Currently, there are many methods to remove soil sediments, but these methods are either a temporary solution or require a repetitive removal of the soil sediments, which is a huge financial burden for the maintenance of the facilities. To solve these problems, this study proposed a non-power soil cleaning system and evaluated field applicability by carrying out field model tests. The conditions for the evaluation focused on the drainage-elapsed time and drainage-outflow velocity according to the water level change in the water tank. In the field test, silty clay and sand were separately installed, and sedimentation soil removal test was practiced. As a result, the system was verified to have a sufficient outflow velocity for the removal of soil sediments. In addition, a generalization equation that can be used in different regions of the tide was suggested in this study. These results will greatly contribute to removing soil sediments in ports and dike gate facilities on the southwest coast. Since the system is an eco-friendly technology that does not require additional energy, thus it is expected to contribute to maintenance of sustainable facility performance as well as economic effect in the future.

  • The loss of safety for reservoirs brought about by climate change and facility aging leads to reservoir failures, which results in the loss of lives and property damage in downstream areas. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a Reservoir Failure Forecasting System for downstream residents to detect the early signs of failure (with sensors) in real-time and perform safety management to prevent and minimize possible damage. For the verification of established water level management criteria, 10 water level data up to reservoir capacity was selected. Weight factor and trend line were applied to dramatic increase section of water level in the 1 year period data. The results shows that water level criteria based on three even parts shows less than 7% of standard deviation and it is appropriate to verify management criteria.

  • The plane-wave shielding effectiveness is typically measured for horizontal and vertical polarizations using a linearly polarized antenna. However, this typical measurement method results in big evaluation fees due to very long measurement time as well as huge idle space for maintenance, these problems is more severe especially in large shielded enclosures such as EMP protection facilities to be built in indoor buildings and underground. This paper describes the design and fabrication process and results of a planar log-spiral antenna applicable to the evaluation of the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness of a large EMP protection facility. Since the proposed antenna has a circular polarization, there is no need to separately measure the horizontal and vertical polarizations. Therefore, the measurement time can be shortened by more than 1/2, and further, its small volume with a planar structure can reduce greatly idle space required for the maintenance.

  • In earthquake situations, broadcasting and communication services are directly linked to rapid on-site rescue and effective restoration works. Recently, a variety of base isolation devices are widely introduced on building floors to avoid critical seismic damages of telecommunication facilities. However, in buildings with long fundamental periods, those devices may have undesirable amplification of seismic responses due to resonance effect between the building floors and base isolation devices. This study performs the seismic safety evaluation of two types of base isolation devices deployed for telecommunication facilities in mid- and high-rise buildings through numerical and experimental approaches. It is found that mid- and high-rise buildings can have low-frequency dynamic responses at the top floor when being subjected to design basis earthquake loading. Furthermore, bi-directional shake table testing demonstrated that the selected base isolation devices can exhibit unstable dynamic behaviors under such low-frequency excitations of the floor.

  • The purpose of this paper is to review the applicability of the current standards for the evaluation method of input variables and performance level in seismic performance evaluation by dynamic plastic analysis of the concrete gravity-type dam to which MCE is applied, and to suggest improvements. To this end, a domestic concrete gravity-type dam was selected as a target facility, dynamic plasticity analysis was performed under various conditions, and applicability to input variables such as concrete tensile strength and breaking energy, was reviewed. By analyzing the effect of cracks at the bottom of the gravity dam on the stability of the activity, an improvement plan for the performance level evaluation method required to secure the water storage function was derived. If the proposed improvement plan is applied, it will have the effect of deriving more reasonable evaluation results than the current seismic performance evaluation method to which MCE is applied.

  • As the influence of fine dust on society spreads gradually, the public's interest in indoor air is increasingly rising. Air-purifying plants are drawing keen attention due to their natural purifying function enabled by plant physiology. However, as their fine dust reduction mechanism is limited to adsorption only, vegetation bio-filters that optimize purification effects through integration with air-conditioning systems is rising as an alternative. In accordance with the relevant standard test methods, this study looked into the fine dust reduction assessment method by air-conditioning airflow volume that can be used for the industrial spread of vegetation bio-filters. In the case of PM10 at 300 ㎍/m3, it was in the order of EG-B(3,500CMH, 29 min.) < EG-A (2,500CMH, 37 min.) < CG(0CMH, 64 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (100 ㎍/m3) of publicly used facilities. For reaching the WHO Guideline(50 ㎍/m3) requirement, it was in the order of EG-B (51 min.) < EG-A (160 min.) < CG (170 min.). In the case of PM2.5, it was in the order of EG-B (26 min.) < EG-A (33 min.) < CG (57 min.) for reaching the maintenance level (50 ㎍/m3) of publicly used facilities. It was in the order of EG-B (48 min) < EG-A (140 min) < CG (158 min) for reaching the WHO Guideline (25 ㎍/m3) requirement. The findings from the analysis showed that fine dust can be reduced most efficiently when the system is operated at 3,500CMH level. The limitation of this study is that due to the absence of a way of assessing the stress of plants in vegetation bio-filters, generating optimal air-conditioning air flow of the relevant system and economics analysis against the existing facility-type air purification system have been clarified, which should be explored further though follow-up studies.

  • In this study, numerical simulations for reducing noise between floors in an apartment building was carried out using Active Noise Control (ANC) technology. In order to examine the feasibility of using ANC to reduce noise between floors, accelerometers and microphones for noise collection were installed in the inter-floor noise test facility to measure noise and vibration caused by the impact ball drop test. By using the measured data, Filtered-x Least Mean Square (Fx-LMS) algorithm-based ANC simulations were carried out. In the simulations, after deriving optimal simulation conditions including the adaptive control convergence coefficient, the noise reduction effect was analyzed through numerical simulations using the number of installed accelerometers and speakers as variables. Finally, it was confirmed that the noise between floors could be reduced using ANC technology under limited conditions.

  • This study attempted to detect possible collapse and fire accidents in facilities for disaster monitoring of large facilities, and to develop a customized beacon to recognize the internal situation of an IoT-based facility when a disaster occurs. In the case of data measurement using the existing strain gauge sensor, the strain gauge sensor was connected by wire to measure it, but this study changed it to wireless so that the presence and absence of structural deformation can be monitored in real time. In this process, in order to use the Wheatstone bridge, a strain sensor module that can be connected to a customized beacon was manufactured, and a system configuration was conducted to remotely check the measurement data. To verify measurement data, 10 customized beacons and 2 gateways were installed on the 15th floor of the Advanced Institue of Convergence Technology, and as a result of analysis of measurement data, it was confirmed that the strain data values were distributed between 7 and 8.
