The purpose of this study is to measure the straightness of prefounded columns during underground construction stages. There are several causes of an error of prefounded column: (1) columns connected by welding or bolting, (2) by placement of concrete and aggregates around columns, (3) movement during construction, and (4) load applied during construction. The error of column straightness is different for each column, and the tilting of columns is shown in one or two directions between floors. The additional loads caused by the error of straightness may give damage to buildings. This paper presents the measurement results of column straightness, and thus providing a basis for further analysis.

The 2005 west off Fukuoka earthquake with Mjma 7.0 occurred in the vicinity of Fukuoka city with 1.4 million populations, which had been regarded as rather seismically inactive in Japan. The strong motion records by K-net indicated PGV of 64 cm/s in Fukuoka city and some condominium buildings sustained extensive non-structural damages. In this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey for residents of 8 condominium buildings located in the downtown area of Fukuoka city after the earthquake. The results indicate that damaged nonstructural walls and distorted doors disrupted evacuation route for many occupants, and furniture and content damage on upper floors became severer resulting in higher rates of human casualty. Earthquake preparedness for indoor safety was raised after the earthquake, though further safety measures can be advised. In the phase of post-earthquake emergency and restoration period, residents' management organizations play important roles, so that neighborhood activities to promote communication networks are important in urban environment with aging population.

The Restroom in house have a main role of bath, excretion, and washing hands. So there are usually bathtub, washbasin, and chamber pot. But the actions of bathing, excretion, and washing hands are not always occur at the same time. So the necessary of sectioning the restroom's space is introduced. In Japan they have some different methods in planning the restroom space. They separate the roles of bathroom and toilet, and develop several types of restroom. And they applicated the several types of restroom to appropriate spaces and floors. These sectioning the restroom's space make the moving line rational and take off the waste of spaces.

The space of leisure boats & yachts is formed by interior design elements and shapes are formed by combination of those elements. By means of configuration of the design elements, space is made in a ship and patterns in an inside space are made through production. These space can be categorized as (1) cabin(common cabin, staterooms, one-cabin), (2) salon, (3) galleys & dinette, (4) heads(showers, toilets, bidets, sinks), (5) cockpit, (6) wheelhouses, navigation stations, (7) fore peaks, (8) engine room, (9) deck etc. Interior materials are classified into (1) walls(bulkheads & lining wall), (2) floors(sole), (3) ceilings(overheads), (4) doors & windows, (5) furniture, (6) lightings and (7) Hardware & decoration in large, medium and small sizes, which constitute interior design elements of a leisure boat & yacht. The materials used in leisure boats & yachts have properties of lightweight, noise and vibration resistance, fire & flame retardant, stability, strengths, lifespan, appearance and special operation in construction.

A service robot is expected to be useful in indoor environment such as a hotel, a hospital and so on. However, many service robots are driven by wheels so that they cannot climb stairs to move to other floors. If the robot cannot use elevators. In this paper, the mobile manipulator system was developed, which can operate numeral buttons on the operating panel in the elevator. To perform this task, the robot is composed of an image recognition module, an ultrasonic sensor module and a manipulator. The robot can recognize numeral buttons and an end-effector in manipulator by the vision system. The Learning vector quantization (LVQ) algorithm is used to recognize the number on the button. The barcode mark on the end-effector is used to recognize the end-effector. The manipulator can push numeral buttons using informations captured by the vision system. The proposed method is evaluated by experiments.

Apartment building floor with a damping layer can be modeled as a sandwich plate. In order to reduce low frequency noise more efficiently due to heavy impact on such a floor, thickness of the damping layer needs to be optimized at the design stage. Modal loss factors are determined in this paper by RKU equation which is popular In sandwich plate theories. Optimum damping layer thickness determined at each mode is weighted so that several modes in the frequency range of interest can be included in a more systematic way. Furthermore, to reflect frequency-dependent characteristics of complex stiffness of the damping layer, an iteration method is proposed in finding modal frequencies.

The purpose of this study is to suggest a fundamental data for change of dynamic properties according to the loading time of resilient materials. 18 kinds of resilient materials included 4 representative types were measured at the load time of 24hours and 2hours by the method of Korea standard (KS F 2868) measuring the dynamic stiffness and the loss factor of materials under floating floors. As a result, the dynamic stiffness was increased rapidly in case of expandable polystyrene and rubber materials according to the load time, especially before 2 hours. The loss factor was represented that rubber materials with high elasticity are high, and expandable polystyrene, polyester, poly ethylene materials with low elasticity are low.

In 2005, a regulation on the heavy-weight impact sound was released, which restricted concrete slab thickness of standard floor to 210mm. To reduce heavy-weight impact sound, damping materials and structural reinforcement system have been proposed. In this study, the effect of compressive strength on the heavy-weight impact vibration and sound were investigated. FEM analysis was conducted for the 34PY apartment with different concrete strength (210, 350, 420kg/cm$^2$). In addition, apartment floors with different concrete strength were constructed and the floor impact vibration and sound were measured. Results of FEM analysis and measurement show that the resonance frequency of concrete slab was increased by the increment of concrete strength. However, floor impact sound pressure level did not decrease because the nor impact vibration and sound pressure level in 63Hz band increased.

This study was intended to evaluate the influence of different base materials on the marginal integrity of posterior direct composite resin restorations. Large conventional butt-joint MOD cavity preparations, with margins in enamel and dentin, were prepared in vitro in 24 extracted human mandibular molars and randomly divided into four equal groups. One of three base materials(RMGI, compomer, flowable resin) was placed on the pulpal floors, of the teeth of the groups. One group of teeth, which served as the control group, was not given any base mterial.(중략)

In the composite deck system, beams and deck plates deflect during construction. This lens-shaped deflection may cause problems in the serviceability of a building. Therefore, it should be compensated to be level. Several methods for leveling of floor slab are available, such as (1) increasing stiffness of structural members, (2) propping floor system, (3) cambering beams, (4) pouring additional concrete. In this study, additional weight and volume of concrete for level compensation are examined for various size of floors.
