Structural damage to an arch dam is often of major concern and must be evaluated for probable rehabilitation to ensure safe, regular, normal operation. This evaluation is crucial to prevent any catastrophic or failure consequences for the life time of the dam. If specific major damage such as a large crack occurs to the dam body, the assessments will be necessary to determine the current level of safety and predict the resistance of the structure to various future loading such as earthquakes, etc. This study investigates the behavior of an arch dam cracked due to water pressure. Safety factors (SFs), of shear and compressive tractions were calculated at the surfaces of the contraction joints and the cracks. The results indicated that for cracking with an extension depth of half the thickness of the dam body, for both cases of penetration and non-penetration of water load into the cracks, SFs only slightly reduces. However, in case of increasing the depth of crack extension into the entire thickness of the dam body, the friction angle of the cracked surface is crucial; however, if it reduces, the normal loading SFs of stresses and joints tractions reduce significantly.

In the case of a school building, even though it is a regular structure in terms of plan shape, if the masonry infill wall acts as a lateral load resisting element, it can be determined as a torsionally irregular building. As a result, the strength and ductility of the structure are reduced, which may cause additional earthquake damage to the structure. Therefore, in this study, a structure similar to a school building with torsional irregularity was selected as an example structure and the damping performance of the PC-BRB was analyzed by adjusting the eccentricity according to the amount of masonry infilled wall. As a result of nonlinear dynamic analysis after seismic reinforcement, the torsional irregularity of each floor was reduced compared to before reinforcement, and the beams and column members of the collapse level satisfied the performance level due to the reduction of shear force and the reinforcement of stiffness. The energy dissipation of PC-BRB was similar in the REC-10 ~ REC-20 analytical models with an eccentricity of 20% or less. REC-25 with an eccentricity of 25% was the largest, and it is judged that it is effective to combine and apply PC-BRB when it has an eccentricity of 25% or more to control the torsional behavior.

Noise level and Airflow amount of a kitchen hood are affected by the conditions of airflow path. Thus this study is expected to be used as a basic reference in designing airflow path of apartment housing throughout analysing changes in noise level and airflow amount from the various conditions of airflow path. Noise level generated by the kitchen hood is estimated in a kitchen and a living room of two constructed apartment houses, and an experiment is conducted in an half anechoic chamber to analyze noise level and airflow amount by the different length, diameter and number of windings of a round shaped soft duct which is connected to the kitchen hood. The measured results in apartment houses show that the noise level in both apartments exceeds the NC standard greatly in living spaces. In apartment A, a regular apartment house, the noise level was $NC-65{\sim}75$, $NC-45{\sim}60$ and NC-70, NC-45 in the kitchen and living room with an operation of kitchen hood in 1 and 3 stages. In apartment B, an apartment complex, the noise level was NC-55 and NC-60 in the kitchen and living room with an operation of kitchen hood in 3 stages. In particular, there was an increase of noise level at 125Hz-band resulted from an amplification of sound, which requires adequate measures in noise reduction. The results measured in Half anechoic chamber show 99% of airflow amount increase with the modification of a duct' s diameter from ${\Phi}$ 100mm to ${\Phi}$ 125mm, 37% of airflow amount increase with the modification of a duct' s diameter from ${\Phi}$ 125mm to ${\Phi}$ 150mm, and 173% of airflow amount increase with the modification of a duct' s diameter from ${\Phi}$ l00mm to ${\Phi}$ 150mm. The noise level was lower than the level measured in apartment housing about 20 in NC-value and 11.4 in dB(A)-value, which was interpreted as the effect of the load by the pressure condition at the rear end of the duct. Also, an amplification of sound in 125Hz-band influenced NC-value considerably, therefore effective measure is needed.

높은 포장온도는 아스팔트포장 소성변형의 주요인이나 소성변형을 줄이기 위한 방안으로서 포장온도를 줄이는 측면에서는 아직 많은 연구가 이루어지지 않은 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 소성변형결함을 줄이기 위한 하나의 대안으로, 온도저감 효과가 있는 것으로 알려져 있는 보수성 포장을 배수성 포장의 하부층에 설치한 포장의 공용특성을 연구하였다. 본 연구의 목적은 보수형 배수성 포장의 온도저감효과를 정량화하고, 포장가속시험(Accelerated Pavement Testing)을 이용하여 온도 저감에 따른 소성변형 감소효과를 확인하고, 정량화하는데 있다. 또한 추가적으로 보수성 포장의 상대강도계수를 분석하고, 일반 포장과 비교하여 설계법 적용시 포장두께를 줄일 수 있는지 여부를 알아보고자 하였다. 본 연구를 위해 보수형 배수성포장 2개 단면 및 일반 배수성 포장 1개 단면 등 총 3개 시험구간이 시공되었다. 히팅 및 살수를 일정주기로 실시하였으며 하중조건은 윤하중 8.2ton, 타이어 공기압 $7.03kgf/cm^2$ 타이어 접지면적 $610cm^2$이었다. 이 연구에서 포장체 온도저감효과는 중간층의 경우 $6.6{\sim}7.9^{\circ}C$(평균$7.4^{\circ}C$), 표층의 경우 $7.9{\sim}9.8^{\circ}C$(평균 $8.8^{\circ}C$)였으며, 이를 통해 포장표면의 소성변형 발생을 26% 감소시킬 수 있었다. 또한 탄성계수로부터 추정된 보수성 포장의 상대강도계수는 0.173으로 일반 밀입도 포장의 1.2배 정도였으며, 일반배수성 포장 구간에서는 표층, 중간층, 기층 모두 소성변형이 발생한데 반해 보수형 배수성 포장 구간에서는 표층에서 대부분의 소성변형이 발생된 것으로 나타났다.
