Daylighting systems can improve the luminous quality of indoor environment and reduce the building's electric lighting energy consumption. For designing good daylighting, place the light where it is desired and avoid excessive contrasts, glare and high light levels. Sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems have been used for alternative systems compared to other natural lighting systems. This study aims to evaluate daylighting performance of sun scoop, light scoop and sun catcher systems using scale model experiments. For the purpose, the 1/10 scale models of the systems were made as the same areas of glazing(10 percent of floor area) on the top of the center roof. Totally 15 measuring points of illuminance on the horizontal work plane were monitored from 09:30 to 12:30 on October 29, 2007. Agilent data logger and photometric sensors Li-cor were used. As the results, the topside lighting systems can improve the illumination uniformity than side lighting and top lighting. However, the appropriated shading system should be integrated to prevent the direct sunlight.

지반의 특성을 정확하게 파악하기 위해서는 불교란시료 채취가 필수적이며, 이때 최대한 시료를 교란하지 않고 채취하는 것이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 선단부에 시료 이탈을 방지하는 캐쳐를 장착하여 시료이탈을 최소화하는 샘플러를 개발하였고 이를 대상으로 현장시료채취, CT촬영, 실내시험을 통해 그 적용성을 검토하였다. 동일한 위치에서 쉘비튜브샘플러와 새롭게 개발한 샘플러로 채취한 시료의 CT촬영결과 쉘비튜브샘플러의 경우 수평방향 균열이 발생할 가능성이 높은데 반해 새롭게 개발한 샘플러의 경우 수평방향 균열의 발생을 억제할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 압밀시험과 전단시험 결과 새롭게 개발한 샘플러로 채취한 시료가 쉘비튜브샘플러로 채취한 시료에 비해서 최대전단강도가 높은 것으로 나타났다.

It is important to clarify the characteristics of flow regimes underlying the debris bed formation behavior that might be encountered in core disruptive accidents of sodium-cooled fast reactors. Although in our previous publications, by applying dimensional analysis technique, an empirical model, with its reasonability confirmed over a variety of parametric conditions, has been successfully developed to predict the regime transition and final bed geometry formed, so far this model is restricted to predictions of debris mixtures composed of spherical particles. Focusing on this aspect, in this study a new series of experiments using nonspherical particles have been conducted. Based on the knowledge and data obtained, an extension scheme is suggested with the purpose of extending the base model to cover the particle-shape influence. Through detailed analyses and given our current range of experimental conditions, it is found that, by coupling the base model with this scheme, respectable agreement between experiments and model predictions for the regime transition can be achieved for both spherical and nonspherical particles. Knowledge and evidence from our work might be utilized for the future improvement of design of an in-vessel core catcher as well as the development and verification of sodium-cooled fast reactor severe accident analysis codes in China.
