Highly textured MgO template by ion-beam-assisted deposition(IBAD) was successfully fabricated using a continuous reel-to-reel(R2R) mode. To enlarge the deposition area, the previous IBAD system was modified into the system with 14-pass and five heating zone. Every processing step was carried out using this multi-turn IBAD system. The overall process consists of R2R electropolishing of a hastelloy C276 tape, deposition of $Al_2O_3$ diffusion barrier, $Y_2O_3$ seed layer, IBAD-MgO and homoepi-MgO layer. The IBAD-MgO templates were fabricated using the IBAD system with 216 cm-length deposition zone and 32 cm diameter ion source. The texture of MgO films developed during the IBAD process was monitored by in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction(RHEED) to optimize the IBAD process. Recently, 100 m long IBAD-MgO tape with in-plane texture of $\Delta{\phi}<10^{\circ}$ was successfully fabricated using the modified IBAD system. In this report, the detailed deposition condition of getting a long length IBAD-MgO template with a good epitaxy is described.

Hybrid barriers using reduction and immobilization were tested to remediate the groundwater contaminated with multi-pollutants in this study. Iron filings and HDTMA(hexadecyltrimethylammonium)-bentonite were simulated in columns to assess the performance of hybrid barriers for remediation of trichloroethylene(TCE)-contaminated water. TCE reduction rate for the mixture of iron filings and HDTMA-bentonite was about 7 times higher than that for iron filings, only suggesting the reduction of TCE was accelerated when HDTMA-bentonite was mixed with iron filings. TCE reduction rate for the two layers of iron and HDTMA-bentonite was nearly similar to that for iron filings alone, but the partition coefficient($K_d$) for the two layers was 4.5 times higher than for that iron filings only. TCE was immobilized in the first layer with HDTMA-bentonite, and then dechlorinated in the second layer with iron filings. HDTMA-bentonite may contribute to the increase in TCE concentration on iron surface so that more TCE can be reduced. Also, TCE removal in the hybrid barriers was not affected by chromate and naphthalene while the reduction rate of TCE with the co-existing contaminants by iron filings was significantly decreased. Significant TCE removal in this research indicates that the proposed hybrid barrier system has the potential to become the effective remediation alternative during the occurrence of oil shock. Also, if subsurface environments are contaminated with multi-pollutants that contain non-reducible compounds as well as reducible compounds such as TCE, the conventional reactive barriers cannot be applied to this subsurface environment, while the proposed hybrid system can be applied successfully.

To investigate opportunities for wood frame housing and to activate wood frame house construction, trends of construction activities. preference about housing, and building codes related to wood frame housing were discussed. And two models of wood frame house were developed and construction cost was analyzed to compare with comparative masonry houses. The results obtained were as follows: 1. While 77.8% of people prefer single-family houses, majority of people(74.9%), ironically, possess multi-family houses such as apartments Wood work cost was ratio of 4% of total building cost. while wood material cost accounted merely for 11 % out of total building material cost. 2. Building code was not major barrier to residential house at height under 13m. The building code regulated major structural member and family boder wall of multi-family house to be built with fire retardant material. 3. The proper wood frame house was analyzed of town house or villa type locating in suburban of big city with hot ondol system for the upper middle class. 4 There was no difference in construction cost between western style wood frame house and comparable masonry house, but construction cost for Korean style wood frame house is 27% higher than that of comparable masonry house. It was necessary to reduce materials and cost down by prefabrication technique for both style of wood frame house.

We extend our previous theoretical analysis of electronic and optical properties of p-type quantum well structures based on the two heavy- and light-hole system to include all the three valence bands. These theories are then used to clarify the origin of the normal incidence absorption and photo current at photon wavelengths of 2 - 3 ${\mu}m$, which was observed in addition to the absorption around 8 ${\mu}m$ by a recent experimental investigation with heavily doped p-type GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well (MQW) structures. In the theoretical analysis, the Hartree and exchange-correlation many-body interactions are taken into account within one-particle local density approximation, and it is shown that normal incidence absorption occurs in two wavelength regions over the transition energy range higher than barrier height for p-type GaAs/AlGaAs superlattices with well doping of $2{\times}10^{19}\;cm^{-3}$; one region has broad absorption peaks with coefficients of about 5000 $cm^{-1}$ around 8 ${\mu}m$, and the other has two rather sharp peaks at 2.7 ${\mu}m$ and 3.4 ${\mu}m$ with 1800 $cm^{-1}$ and 1300 $cm^{-1}$, respectively. The result indicates that the theory explains the experimental observation well, as the theoretical and experimental results are in close agreement in general absorption features.

In this paper, the inorganic-organic thin film encapsulation layer was newly adopted to protect the organic layer from moisture and oxygen. Using the electron beam, Sputter and Spin-Coater system, the various kinds of inorganic and organic thin-films were deposited onto the Ethylene Terephthalate(PET) and their interface properties between organic and inorganic layer were investigated. In this investigation, the SiON and Polyimide(PI) layer showed the most suitable properties. Under these conditions, the WVTR(water vapour transition rate) for PET can be reduced from level of $0.57\;g/m^2{\cdot}day$ (bare subtrate) to $1{\times}10^{-5}\;g/m^2{\cdot}day$ after application of a SiON and Polyimide layer. These results indicates that the SiON/PI/SiON/PI/PET barrier coatings have high potential for flexible organic light-emitting diode(OLED) applications.

The simulation of water balance was conducted for suggested four alternative multi-layer cover design of near-surface radioactive waste disposal facility under domestic climate condition. The analysis was also conducted for the most favorable one out of four alternative cover design under conservative scenarios. Until 100 years after closure of disposal vault, the infiltration flux for the most favorable cover design was negligible even under doubling of the ambient precipitation condition. When the degradation of asphalt and geomembrane after 100 years of closure was considered, the infiltration flux significantly increased almost to the design criteria of cover system in I' Aube disposal facility. And it was found that the hydraulic conductivity of bentonite/sand as a bottom barrier should be no greater than 1$\times$10$^{-7}$ cm/sec recommended by U.S. EPA.

In this paper, implementation of active noise barriers(ANB) to attenuate exterior noise which is propagated through open windows is presented. The leaky multiple channel LMS algorithms are used for adaptive filters tc improve the convergence property, and a new type of the active noise barrier is proposed. The attenuation effects of conventional active noise control(ANC) systems using leaky multiple channel LMS algorithms and the proposed system are compared by experiments using a TMS320C33 digital signal processor. Noise attenuation levels at the points of error microphones are similar for both systems, but average noise attenuation effects of the proposed system for an entire space of an experimental enclosure are much better than conventional ANC systems.

Blasting in urban area has become a serious issue in our living because it causes inconvenience to the resident living by construction area. Therefore, the practical solution and the better method for reducing blasting noise are highly required. However, finding practical solutions for the blasting noise is very difficult due to the lack of basic data and insufficient existing research. In order to overcome the limitation of existing sound barrier, we applied a new material to multi-layer soundproof system in the construction site, Kuksabong Tunnel in Yang Nyung-Ro. The statistical method was used to analyze blasting noise data. Through all these processes, it was verified that the soundproof system in this study was very effective method to decrease blasting noise.

To date the engineering community has seen facade systems as non-structural elements with high aesthetic value and a barrier between the outdoor and indoor environments. The role of facades in energy use in a building has also been recognized and the industry is also witnessing the emergence of many energy efficient facade systems. This paper will focus on using exterior skin of the double skin facade system as a dissipative movable element during earthquake excitation. The main aim of this study is to investigate the potential of the facade system to act as a damper system to reduce earthquake-induced vibration of the primary structure. Unlike traditional mass dampers, which are usually placed at the top level of structures, the movable/smart double skin facade systems are distributed throughout the entire height of building structures. The outer skin is moveable and can act as a multi tuned mass dampers (MTMDs) that move and dissipate energy during strong earthquake motions. In this paper, using a three dimensional 10-storey building structure as the example, it is shown that with optimal choice of materials for stiffness and damping of brackets connecting the two skins, a substantial portion of earthquake induced vibration energy can be dissipated which leads to avoiding expensive ductile seismic designs. It is shown that the engineering demand parameters (EDPs) for a low-rise building structures subjected to moderate to severe earthquakes can be substantially reduced by introduction of a smart designed double skin system.
