In the design of super-tall towers, engineers often find the conventional frame systems used in countless buildings in the past decades incapable of providing the required form, performance and constructability demanded by super-tall heights. The strength of the diagrid as a structural system in high-rise towers is the total flexibility it affords the designer as an adaptable, efficient and buildable scheme. Using fundamental engineering principles combined with modern computational tools, designers can take minimum load path forms to create rationalized diagrid geometries to create optimized, highly efficient towers. The use of diagrid frames at SOM has evolved as a structural typology beginning with the large braced frames on the John Hancock Center and continued in modern applications proving to be a powerful system in meeting the demands of supertall buildings.

[FeⅢ(BLPA)DBC]BPh4, a new functional model for the catechol dioxygenases, has been synthesized, where BLPA is bis((6-methyl-2-pyridyl)methyl)(2-pyridylmethyl)amine and DBC is 3,5-di-tert-butylcatecholate dianion. The BLPA complex has a structural feature that iron center has a six-coordinate geometry with N4O2 donor set. It exhibits EPR signals at g=5.5 and 8.0 which are typical values for the high-spin FeⅢ (S=5/2) complex with axial symmetry. The BLPA complex reacts with O2 within a few hours to afford intradiol cleavage (75%) and extradiol cleavage (15%) products which is very unique result of all [Fe(L)DBC] complexes studied. The iron-catecholate interaction of BLPA complex is significantly stronger, resulting in the enhanced covalency of the metal-catecholate bonds and low energy catecholate to FeⅢ charge transfer bands at 583 and 962 nm in CH3CN. The enhanced covalency is also reflected by the isotropic shifts exhibited by the DBC protons, which indicate increased semiquinone character. The greater semiquinone character in the BLPA complex correlates well with its high reactivity towards O2. Kinetic studies of the reaction of the BLPA complex with 1 atm O2 in CH3OH and CH2Cl2 under pseudo-first order conditions show that the BLPA complex reacts with O2 much slower than the TPA complex, where TPA is tris(2-pyridylmethyl)amine. It is presumably due to the steric effect of the methyl substituent on the pyridine ring. Nevertheless, both the high specificity and the fast kinetics can be rationalized on the basis of its low energy catecholate to FeⅢ charge transfer bands and large isotropic NMR shifts for the BLPA protons. These results provide insight into the nature of the oxygenation mechanism of the catechol dioxygenases.

2000년대 이후 대두된 안전, 환경 이슈들로 인해 안전 관리는 더욱 더 중요해졌다. 하지만 안전 관리는 많은 경험적 데이터들을 요구하므로 한계점들이 많다. 안전 분야 중 하나인 배관 안전의 경우 현재 배관을 관리하는 시뮬레이션 프로그램들이 존재하지만, 배관 내부 침식에 대해서는 데이터를 얻기 힘들어 시뮬레이션에 반영이 잘 되어있지 않은 상태이다. 이러한 문제점에서 착안해 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학(CFD)을 이용하여 배관 내부의 곡면에 일어나는 침식을 모사하였고, 계산한 침식 속도를 바탕으로 한계상태함수를 이용하여 배관의 실패 주기를 분석하였다. CFD 대상 배관의 경우 여수 산업 단지에 실제로 운영되고 있는 표본을 사용하였다. DPM (Discrete Phase Model)과 부식 모델을 이용하여 CFD 결과로 $3.093mm{\cdot}yr^{-1}$ 수치의 침식 속도를 얻을 수 있었고, 이 결과를 한계상태함수에 적용한 결과 배관에 누출(leak)을 유발하는데 14.2년, 파열(burst)를 유발하는데 28.2년이라는 실패 주기를 얻어낼 수 있었다. 이러한 과정들을 통해 배관 곡면 침식이 배관 안전 진단에 유효한 실패 모드임을 도출할 수 있었다. 본 연구는 실패 연도를 구할 수 있는 방법론들을 제시하여 데이터의 한계점을 극복하고, 배관 안전 진단에 좀 더 정밀하고 발전된 방법을 제시한 것에 대해 의의를 가진다.
