  • An experimental investigation was conducted to evaluate the performance of mortars with and without Metakaolin (MK) exposed to elevated temperatures $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$, $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$ for two hours. The binder to sand ratio was kept constant (1:5.23). The ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was replaced with MK at 0%, 5%, 10% 20% and 30%. All mixtures were designed to have a flow of $94{\pm}5%$. The compressive strength of mortars before and after exposure to elevated temperature was determined. The formation of various decomposition phases were identified using X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The microstructure of the mortars was examined using scanning electron microscope (SEM). Test results indicated that MK improves the compressive strength before and after exposure to elevated temperature and that the 20% cement replacement of MK is the optimum percentage.

  • This study aims to examine the transitional process and its effect of Okcheon Jaesa in Yeonghae, Kyoungbook province. Through various bibliographies and Jaesil building in Yeonghae area, the results of this study are as follows: 1) Okcheon Jaesa was established in early 17th century at latest, since then it had been relocated several times. And it was estimated that it was relocated finally to its current location in 1725. 2) Hwasooroo was constructed in 1753, but it was destroyed by a fire in 1811. It is estimated that it was restored next year and remained so far. 3) The closed feeling of space of courtyard in Okcheon Jaesa is estimated as a result of replacing existing lecture hall into the lecture hall with elevated pavilion. 4) Andong-Kweon family affected on building of jaesil each other among their families through mutual exchange and competition. It is estimated to be the influence of Jipheeam of Mooan-Park family that Okcheon Jaesa was changed to Jaesil with elevated pavilion. Since then, Jaesil with elevated pavilion is estimated to have had effect on building Jaesil with low-columned elevated pavilion in Yeonghae area.

  • Decrease of performance degradation of High Strength Concrete occurs more than that of normal strength concrete at elevated temperature. Therefore, when it comes to evaluating performance of structures, strain of concrete subjected to elevated temperature and loading are important items. In this study, creep strain of High Strength Concrete sunjected to various temperature conditions and 33% loading was evaluated. As a result, creep strain increased with increase of temperature and loading. Creep strain of concrete at high temperature is influenced by loading.

  • Singapore has seen a phenomenal and an unprecedented transformation from a swampland to a high density urban environment since its independence in 1965, made possible largely and single-handedly by the sustained efforts of its government. Indeed, urban space is a key vehicle for achieving urban social, environmental, economic, and cultural sustainability. The dense urban context in Singapore has seen an emergence and increase in elevated spaces in the form of sky-gardens, sky-bridges and sky-courts in a range of building types, seemingly seeking to tie together the different horizontal and vertical components of the city. This paper, therefore, examines the effectiveness of elevated urban spaces and pedestrian networks in Singapore and their ability to contribute to the horizontal to vertical transitions, and consequently to the urban vitality and accessibility. It does this through the analysis of two key developments: Marina Bay Sands and the Jurong Gateway. In particular, it considers the implications of certain constraints placed on urban spaces by their inherent location at height, in addition to the familiar privatization of public spaces, over-management of spaces, and their somewhat utilitarian characteristics. The paper argues that some of these issues may pose detrimental effects on the publicness of these spaces that in turn may lead to such spaces being underused and therefore adding redundancies and further stress to Singapore's urban land. Finally, the paper outlines key strategies that may help overcome the aforementioned issues, including the disjuncture associated with elevated spaces such that they may become a seamless extension of the urban spaces on ground.

  • The construction of the elevated railway has led to concerns about the noise from trains, particularly as tracks often pass close to residential dwellings. One specific issue relates to the noise from trains on bridges. The wayside noise for the train was measured to get the basic data that can be used to prepare count measures for solving environmental noise problems. Noise levels were measured simultaneously at three points in various distances from the railroad and at four points classified by floor. In this paper we measure the wayside noise in elevated railway and noise of normal operation compare with operating under train engine idling condition and investigate effect of nearby-building induced by train operation.

  • Fire is one of the most destructive powers to which a building structure can be subjected, often exposing concrete elements to elevated temperatures. The relative properties of concrete after such an exposure are of significant importance in terms of the serviceability of buildings. Unraveling the heating history of concrete and different cooling regimes is important for forensic research or to determine whether a fire-exposed concrete structure and its components are still structurally sound or not. Assessment of fire-damaged concrete structures usually starts with visual observation of colour change, cracking and spalling. Thus, it is important to know the effect of elevated temperatures on strength retention properties of concrete. This study reports the effect of elevated temperature on the mechanical properties of the concrete specimen with polypropylene fibres and cooled differently under various regimes. In the heating cycle, the specimen were subjected to elevated temperatures ranging from $200^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$, in steps of $200^{\circ}C$ with a retention period of 1 hour. Then they were cooled to room temperature differently. The cooling regimes studied include, furnace cooling, air cooling and sudden cooling. After exposure to elevated temperatures and cooled differently, the weight loss, residual compressive and split tensile strengths retention characteristics were studied. Test results indicated that weight and both compressive and tensile strengths significantly reduce, with an increase in temperature and are strongly dependent on cooling regimes adopted.

  • Recently, distribution transfer velocity was extremely lowered by high supply rate of vehicle and low road rate. Therefore expansions of transfer network these were subway, road and railway to recover competitive power as a reform measure of physical distribution traffic were become preference previous subject. For reason of that, an expansion of transfer network is meeting competitive power as selected an elevated road in the ground road network that condition of location calm and get out of the existing urban than the underground road to connect oversensitive a large city and expanded small and medium satellite town. In the meantime, while elevated structures construct, they go through the civilian residential section, agriculture land, etc. The consequence is that it raises a vibration, noise, dust, an infringement of the right to a view and an infringement of the right to a sunshine. In this study, we analyzed Quantitatively sunshine quantity with building 3D simulation model of civil structure. Therefore, we present as planning data to reduce a civilian appeal for dispute of the right to sunshine and an economic and time loss between the government and construction company In addition to that, for the standard of the standard plan of usable sunshine quantity program in the practical business, the building of convenient user interface will be the project to be done.
