With the rapid urbanization and growing energy use intensity in the built environment, the glazed curtainwall has become ever more important in the architectural practice and environmental stewardship. Besides its energy efficiency roles, window has been an important transparent component for daylight penetration and a view-out for occupant satisfaction. In response to the climate crisis caused by the built environment, this research focuses on the study of net-zero energy retrofitting by using a new building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) curtainwall as a sustainable alternative to conventional window systems. Design variables such as building orientations, climate zones, energy attributes of BIPV curtainwalls, and glazed area were studied, to minimize energy consumption and discomfort hours for three cities representing hot (Miami, FL), mixed (Charlotte, NC), and cold (Minneapolis, MN). Parametric analysis and Pareto solutions are presented to provide a comprehensive explanation of the correlation between design variables and performance objectives for net-zero energy retrofitting applications.

Tall buildings are built with an abundant amount of materials, including structural materials, coming from our limited natural resources. Tall buildings that began from about 10-story tall office towers have evolved to over 150-story tall mixed-use megastructures. As a building becomes taller, structural material requirement to resist lateral wind loads becomes exponentially larger. Therefore, it is crucial to employ efficient structural systems and optimize their design, which will contribute to sustainable vertical built environments through preservation of resources. Tube type structures with large perimeter diagonals are among the most efficient structural systems for tall buildings. Developments of braced tube, braced megatube, diagrid structures, and their optimal design strategies are reviewed. Superframed conjoined towers, produced by interconnecting multiple clustered braced tubes, are presented as a new design direction to achieve not only structural but also architectural and social sustainable design goals.

By the year 2050, the world population is set to increase to 9 billion people, of which 66% will be living in cities. It is argued that this will inevitably lead to further urban densification and soaring, inhumane and dense vertical environments. However, innovative and disruptive technologies impacting all realms of life means that we will also live, work, play, learn and make in novel ways, the beginnings of which are already becoming evident. These present opportunities for reimagining city environments, and in particular tall buildings, with a focus on reducing redundancies and re-appropriating existing buildings, creating novel hybrid environments, incorporating green and social democratic spaces, and integrating multiple modes of transport. This paper examines how vertical cities may perhaps be dense, resource efficient, and yet humane, presenting three possible scenarios for Singapore's context, which are, however, common to many Asian high-density urban environments. The scenarios presented are the outcome of Final-Year Thesis Projects undertaken by final-year architecture students at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in 2017.

As buildings have become higher and larger, the use of high performance concrete has increased. With this increase, interest in and use of ultra fine powder admixture is also on the rise. The silica fume and BSF are the admixtures currently being used in Korea. However, silica fume is exclusively import dependent because it is not produced in Korea. In the case of BFS, it greatly improves concrete fluidity and long-term strength. But a problem exists in securing early strength. Furthermore, air-cooled slag is being discarded, buried in landfills, or used as road bed materials because of its low activation energy. Therefore, we investigated in this study the usability of nano-slag (both rapidly-chilled and air-cooled) as an alternative material to the silica fume. We conducted a physic-chemical analysis for the nano-slag powder and performed a mortar test to propose quality standards. The analysis and testing were done to find out the industrial usefulness of the BFS that has been grinded to the nano-level.

Recently, since structures have become extremely airtight with the development of high-rise apartments, mixed use residential and commercial buildings and offices, large capacity range hoods have become commonly implemented. However, the high noise level caused by this range hood system made of thin plate is the cause of increased complaints among users. In this study, the level of noise emitted from this type of range hood was measured by height at the user's location in the kitchen. It was confirmed that a great deal of noise was emitted in the downward direction of the hood. In order to minimize the noise emitted from this type of range hood, a new type of fan was manufactured. This was done by changing only the material and shape of the fan, since it was determined to be the primary source of noise emission. Then a comparison and evaluation were carried out regarding the noise characteristics between the new type of fan and the existing type of fan. As a result, it was confirmed that the noise from the new fan was reduced by more than 2 dB compared to the existing fan without noise interference at the discharge end.

Thioacetamide (TA) is potent haptotoxincant that requires metabolic activation by mixed-function oxidases. Micrcarray technology, which is massive parallel gene expression profiling in a single hybridization experiment, has provided as a powerful molecular genetic tool for biological system related toxicant. In this study we focus on the use of toxicogenomics for the determination of gene expression analysis associated with hepatotoxicity in rat liver epithelial cell line WB-F344 (WB). The WB cells was used to assess the toxic effects of TA. WB cells were exposed to two concentrations of TA-doses which caused 20% and 50% cell death were chosen and the cells exposed for periods of 2 and 24 h. Our data revealed that following the 2-h exposure at the both of doses and 24-h exposure at the low doses, few changes in gene expression were detected. However, after 24-h exposure of the cells to the high concentration, multiple changes in gene expression were observed. TA treatment gave rise predominantly to up-regulation of genes involved in cell cycle and cell death, but down-regulation of genes involves in cell adhesion and calcium ion binding. Exposure of WB cells to higher doses of the TA gave rise to more changes in gene expression at lower exposure times. These results show that TA regulates expression of numerous genes via direct molecular signaling mechanisms in liver cells.

최근 건축물은 대지 이용의 효율성을 높이기 위해 주상 복합화·고층화되는 추세이며, 이에 따른 화재의 발생빈도 및 잠재적인 위험요소도 증가하고 있다. 특히, 고층 공동주택의 경우 비상용승강기와 별도로 승용승강기 중 1대 이상을 피난용승강기로 설치하게 되어 특별피난계단 부속실, 비상용승강기 승강장 겸용의 경우 피난용승강기 승강장과 직렬형태의 구조가 되어 새로운 형태의 제연구역 이 발생한다. 따라서 비상용승강기 승강장과 피난용승강기 승강장의 직렬형태 구조에 대한 제연구역 선정의 제시가 필요하며, 새로운 형태에서 제연성능을 달성하는 것에 대한 문제가 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 CONTAM을 이용하여 각 제연구역 형식(비상용승강기 승강장 단독제연, 피난용승강기 승강장 단독제연, 비상용승강기 승강장과 피난용승강기 승강장 동시제연 누설틈새 적용·미적용)의 방연풍속, 차압을 확인하고, 직렬형태 구조에 대해 제연성능을 확보하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

토목구조물이 대형화되고 규모가 커짐에 따라 하부 기초 지반 조건도 위치마다 상이하게 나타나게 되어 일부구간에서 기초지반의 불균일성으로 인해 국부적으로 지내력이 부족한 경우가 빈번하게 발생되고 있다. 일반적으로 상부 구조물의 안정성 확보 차원에서 기초지반이 균질하지 않은 경우에는 가능한 보수적인 기초공법을 적용함으로써 안정성 확보를 그 주안점으로 두고 있다. 직접기초와 파일기초가 혼용되는 복합기초의 경우에 대한 연구가 미비하여 그 적용성과 안정성이 검증되지 못하고 개략검토를 통한 복합기초의 시공이 적용되고 있는 점이 원인으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서는 직접기초와 파일기초가 혼용되는 복합기초에 대한 적용가능성을 평가하고, 석고와 주문진 표준사, 쇄석 등을 이용하여 다양한 지반을 조성한 실내 모형실험을 수행하여 동일기초와 복합기초의 거동을 비교, 분석하였다. 이와 같은 모형실험을 통한 연구결과를 근거로 복합기초(직접기초+말뚝기초)와 보수적인 말뚝기초 및 전면기초의 거동을 확인하고 지내력이 급격히 변화하는 지반의 경우 기존의 기초보다 효율적이고 경제적인 복합기초의 안정성 및 적용성을 평가하였다. 그 결과, 복합기초의 적용시 보수적인 말뚝기초보다 전체적인 침하량이 증가하였으나 그 차이가 미비하였고, 구조물의 부등침하에 대한 안정성평가 결과, 적용 가능한 것으로 확인되었다.

Power quality has always been a concern of power engineers. Certainly an argument can be successfully made that most parts of power engineering have the ultimate objective to improve power quality. AC motors were widely used in industrial and domestic applications. Generally, AC motors were of two types: Induction and Synchronous motors. In motor many parameters like different load cycling, switching, working in hot weather and unbalances creates harmonics which creates major reasons for temperature rise of the motors. Due to high peak value of voltage, harmonics can weaken insulation in cables, windings and capacitors and different electronic components. Higher value of harmonics increase the motor current and decrease the power factor which will reduce the life time of the motor and increase the overall rating of all electrical equipments. Harmonics reduction of all the motors in India will save more power. Coating of windings of the motor with nano fillers will reduce the amount of harmonics in the motor. Based on the previous project works, actions were taken to use the enamel filled with various nano fillers for the coating of the windings of the different AC motors. Ball mill method was used to convert the micro particles of Al₂O₃, SiO₂, TiO₂, ZrO₂ and ZnO into nano particles. SEM, TEM and XRD were used to augment the particle size of the powder. The synthesized nano powders were mixed with the enamel by using ultrasonic vibrator. Then the enamel mixed with the nano fillers was coated to the windings of the several AC motors. Harmonics were measured in terms of various indices like THD, VHD, CHD and DIN by using Harmonic analyzer. There are many other measures and indices to describe power quality, but none is applicable in all cases and in many instances, these indices may hide more than they show. Sometimes power quality indices were used as a basis of comparison and standardization. The efficiency of the motors was increased by 5 – 10 %. The thermal withstanding capacity of the motor was increased by 5º to 15º C. The harmonics of the motors were reduced by 10 – 50%.
