The effect of cladding panel size on the size reduction factor (SRF) of extreme area-averaging wind pressure (EAWP) on the facades of a high-rise building is often ignored in previous studies. Based on wind tunnel tests, this study investigated the horizontal and vertical correlations of wind pressure on the facade claddings of square-section high-rise buildings. Then, the influencing parameters on the SRF of the EAWP on the cladding panels were analyzed, which were the panel area, panel width, panel length and building width. The results show clear regional distinctions in the correlation of wind pressures on the building facades and the rules of the horizontal and vertical correlations are remarkably different, which causes the cladding size ratio to impact the SRF significantly. Therefore, this study suggests the use of the non-dimensional comprehensive size parameter b^𝜶h^1-𝜶/B (𝜶 is the fitting parameter) determined by the cladding panel horizontal size b, cladding panel vertical size h and the building width B rather than the cladding panel area to describe the variation of the EAWP. Finally, some empirical formula for the SRF of the EAWP on the cladding of a high-rise building is proposed with the nondimensional comprehensive size parameter.

Reduction factor for installation damage required to calculate design strength of geogrid used in MSEW(mechanically stabilized earth wall) design is usually obtained in the field test simulating real construction condition. However, damages occurred in geogrid during backfill work are influenced by many factors such as polymer types, unit weight per area, backfill construction method and gradation of backfill material and field test considering these factors demand lots of time and costs. In this study, factors affecting installation damage are analyzed and empirical method to evaluate reduction factor for installation damage using maximum particle size in backfill material is suggested.

시공손상계수는 보강토 옹벽에 사용하는 지오그리드 보강재의 설계 강도 산정에 필요한 중요한 계수로서 실제 조건을 모사한 현장시험을 통해 구하고 있다. 하지만 지오그리드의 시공 중 발생하는 손상은 지오그리드의 재질, 단위면적당 중량, 뒤채움의 시공방법, 뒤채움의 입도에 따라 달라지며 현장시험을 통해 다양한 영향인자를 고려한 시공손상계수값을 도출하는데는 많은 시간과 비용이 소요된다. 본 연구에서는 시공손상에 영향을 미치는 인자들을 분석하고 뒤채움에 포함된 최대입경만을 이용하여 지오그리드 보강재의 시공손상계수를 산정하는 경험적 방법을 제시하였다.

This study was performed to investigate the effects of the driving force for reduction and the surfactant (polyacrylic acid) on the size of Ag particles. As the driving force for reduction increases, the size of particles decreases due to a decrease of initial nuclei-size. Also, an increase of pH increases the amount of ionized surfactant, which leads to a decrease of particle size due to the prevention of particle growth. Both the driving force and the surfactant may affect the particle size, but the surfactant appeared to be a more dominant factor than reduction potential in terms of controlling the particle size. An increase of surfactant in the range of pH=3-4 decreases the size of Ag particles, although the reduction potential also decreases.

The government introduced a mandatory installation system of new & renewable energy for public building to meet the target of greenhouse gas reduction and also suggest a correction factor for new renewable energy to expand the installation of various new & renewable energy systems. The introduction of correction factors, however, was followed by the reduction of installation size of new & renewable energy sources. Assuming that it was caused by a correction factor for each new renewable energy source calculated by the initial costs, this study proposed a new correction factor approach based on payback periods to reflect the technology element in the calculation process of correction factors additionally. The application results of new correction factors show that it was possible to do complex calculations including the economic and technological aspects to select a new & renewable energy system and that the installation size was also enlarged.

The performance prediction of an airfoil fan using a commerical code, STAR/CD, is verified by comparing the calculated results with measured performance data and velocity fields of an airfoil fan. The effects of inlet tip clearance on performance are investigated. The calculations overestimate the pressure rise performance by about 10-25 percent. However, the performance reduction due to tip clearance is well predicted by numerical simulations. Main source of performance decrease is not only the slip factor but also impeller efficiency. The reduction in performance is 12-16 percent for 1 percent gap of the diameter. The calculated reductions in impeller efficiency and slip factor are also linearly proportional to the gap size. The span-wise distributions of phase averaged velocity and pressure at the impeller exit are strongly influenced by the radial gap size. The radial component of velocity and the flow angle increase over the passsage as the gap increases. The slip factor decreases and the loss increases with the gap size. The high velocity of leakage jet affects the impeller inlet and passage flows. With a larger clearance, the main stream moves to the impeller hub side and high loss region extends from the shroud to the hub.

To modify some problems of ACI shear provisions, ultimate shear strength equation considering size effect and arch action to compute shear strength in high-strength concrete beams without stirrups is presented in this research. Three basic equations, namely size reduction factor, rho factor, and arch action factor, are derived from crack band model of fracture mechanics, analysis of previous some shear equations for longitudinal reinforcement ratio, and concrete strut described as linear function in deep beams. Constants of basic equations are determined using statistical analysis of previous shear testing data. To verify proposed shear equation for each variable, namely d, , ρ, f/sub c/' and aid, about 250 experimental data are used and proposed shear equation is compared with ACI 318-99 code, CEB-FIP Model code, Kim & Park's equation and Zsutty's equation. While proposed shear equation is simpler than other shear equations, it is shown to be economical predictions and reasonable safety margin. Hence proposed shear strength equation is expected to be applied to practice shear design.

In this study, chemical solution mixing and hydrogen reduction method was used to fabricate nanostructured $Fe_xCo_{1-x}$ alloy powders. Fe-Co chloride mixture, FeCl$_2$ and COCI$_2$ with 99.9％ purity, were reduced in hydrogen atmosphere. Nanostructured Fe-Co alloy powders with a grain size of 50 nm were successfully fabricated. Magnetic properties of fabricated $Fe_xCo_{1-x}$(x=0, 10, 30, 50, 70, 100) alloy powders with the same grain size were measured because size factor can affect magnetic properties. Coercivity of Fe-Co alloy powders were increased with increasing Co contents. Maximum value of coercivity in various Co contented Fe-Co alloy powders with similar grain size was 125 Oe at Fe$_{100}$. Saturation magnetization value at Fe$_{70}$Co$_{30}$ composition showed maximum value of 219 emu/g and saturation magnetization value decreased with increasing Co contents and minimum value of 155 emu/g was observed at Co$_{100}$.

FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 프로세서는 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템에서 사용된다. 근래에는 광대역과 이동성에 대한 요구가 높아짐에 따라 큰 포인트를 가지는 FFT 프로세서의 연구가 필요하다. FFT 포인트 수가 증가할수록 회전인자가 저장된 메모리가 차지하는 면적은 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 Radix-2, $2^2,\;2^3,\;2^4$ 알고리즘의 회전인자 인덱스 생성 방법을 제안한다. 제안한 회전인자 인덱스 생성기(Twiddle Factor Index Generator : TFIG)는 간단하게 카운터와 양수곱셈기로만 구성된다. 각각의 R2SDF(Radix-2 Single-Path Delay Feedback), $R2^2SDF,\;R2^3SDF,\;R2^4SDF$ 1024포인트 FFT 프로세서에 ROM 크기를 1/8N로 줄인 회전인자 계수 생성기(Twiddle Factor Coefficient Generator : TFCG)를 설계하여 제안한 알고리즘을 검증하였다. $R2^4SDF$의 TFCG 경우 면적, 전력에서 각 57.9%, 57.5%정도의 이득을 얻었다.

In this paper, the characteristics of Koch island microstrip patch antenna are investigated by numerical and experimental methods. The Koch patch is fractal shaped antenna which can be characterized by two properties such as space-filling and self-similarity. Due to its space-filling property of fractal structure, the proposed Koch fractal patch antennas are smaller in size than that of conventional square patch antenna. From numerical and experimental results, it is found that as the iteration number and iteration factor of Koch patch increase, its resonance frequency becomes lower than that of conventional patch, thus contributes to antenna size reduction. In particular, when the fractal iteration factor is 1/4, the fractal antenna is 45% smaller in size than that of conventional patch, while maintaining radiation patterns comparable to those of rectangular antenna and cross polarization level is about -20~-14 dB.
