Presented herein is a numerical study for evaluating the aerodynamic behaviour of equipped bridge deck sections. In the first part, the method adopted is described, in particular concerning turbulence models, meshing requirements and numerical approach. The validation of the procedure represents the aim of the second part of the paper: the results of the numerical simulation in case of two-dimensional, steady, incompressible, turbulent flow around a realistic bridge deck are compared to the data collected from wind-tunnel tests. In order to demonstrate the influence of the section details and of the partial streamlining of the deck geometry on its aerodynamic behaviour, in the third part of the paper the effect of the fairings and of each item of equipment of the section (such as central barriers, side railings and sidewalks) is evaluated. The study has been applied to the deck section of the Normandy cable-stayed bridge.

본 논문에서는 공기를 통과시켜 풍압을 저감하면서 소음을 제어할 수 있는 새로운 개념의 방음벽의 음향감쇠 특성을 분석하였다. 통기형 방음벽의 소음저감 특성을 조사하기 위하여 우선 개구부의 크기 및 공명기의 체적 등을 변화시켜 총 17가지 방음벽 모델의 음향감쇠계수를 측정하였다. 실험결과 공명기의 체적과 개구부의 면적에 따라 음향감쇠계수 값이 달라지고 있으며, 목표 주파수대역(400 ~ 1250 Hz)에서 단일 방음벽보다 이중 방음벽의 음향감쇠계수가 더 높게 나타났다. 이를 통해 개구부 및 공명기의 물리적 특성이 통기형 방음벽의 차음특성에 영향을 미친다는 점을 밝혀냈다.

소음 저감을 목적으로 설치되는 방음벽은 크게 흡음판과 방음판으로 나뉘며, 일조 및 경관을 저해하는 방음벽의 문제점을 해결하고자 투명 방음벽을 설치하는 것이 일반적 추세이다. 방음벽에 사용되는 투명 방음판의 소재는 여러 가지가 있으나 경우에 따라서는 황변현상과 재질변형 등으로 인해 투명도가 떨어지고 오염이 심해져 오히려 도시미관을 해하기도 한다. 따라서 이러한 단점을 보안하기 위하여 투명 방음판의 재질을 접합강화유리로의 대체가 가능하다. 본 논문은 메트로 지하철 고가교 상에서의 열차 유발진동에 따른 접합강화유리 방음판의 진동 및 풍하중에 의한 안전성을 분석하고, 접합강화유리 시스템 및 재료에 대한 휨능력 성능시험, 압축강도 및 탄성계수 시험, 충격시험 등을 수행하여 접합강화유리의 방음판으로서의 적정성을 평가하는 데 목적이 있다.

The major advantage of transparent materials over traditional materials in noise barriers is aesthetics. The transparent panel materials such as clear plastic or glass are an ideal way of reducing or virtually eliminating the visual impact of a noise barrier. With the use of transparent materials, the drivers' view of the roadside and the sunlight penetration to the highway would not be blocked. With the use of transparent materials, the highway and barrier appear less imposing. Korean Industrial Standards for soundproof panels have been established. But, transparent soundproof panels are not included in this standards. And, some specifications provide only a few basic characteristics for transparent soundproof panels. To develop guidelines on quality criteria for transparent soundproof panel, their mechanical properties such as wind load resistance, safety under impact, and abrasion resistance were experimentally investigated.

Negative environmental consequences of fossil fuels and the concerns about their soaring prices have spurred the search for alternative energy sources. While other alternative energies-like solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, and tidal-offer viable options for electricity generation, around 40% of total energy consumption requires liquid fuels like gasoline or diesel fuel. This is where bio-energy/biofuels is especially attractive, where they can serve as a practical alternative to oil. The production of liquid biofuels for transportation will depend upon a stable supply of large amount of inexpensive cellulosic biomass obtained on a sustainable basis. This paper reviewed development status of transportation bio-energy for vehicles, technical barriers to the production of cellulosic ethanol, and the global future of bio-diesel and ethanol production.

The interaction of head waves with an infinite row of identical, equally spaced, rectangular breakwaters is investigated in the presence of uneven bottom topography. Using linear water wave theory and matched eigenfunction expansion method, the boundary value problem is transformed into a system of linear algebraic equations which are numerically solved to know the velocity potentials completely. Utilizing this method, reflected and transmitted wave energy are computed for different physical parameters along with the wave field in the vicinity of breakwaters. It is observed that the wave field becomes more complicated when the incoming wavelength becomes smaller than the channel width. A critical ratio of the gap width to the channel width, corresponding to the inflection point of the transmitted energy variation, is identified for which 1/3 of the total energy is transmitted. Similarly, depending on the incident wavelength, there is a critical breakwater width for which a minimum energy is transmitted. Further, the accuracy of the computed results is verified by using the derived energy relation.

현재 가연성 가스의 누출시 누출된 가스의 확산과 VCE에 의한 과압을 예측하기 위해 여러 모델들이 이용되고 있다. 그러나 이 모델들은 누출설비의 지형과 장애물 그리고 건물들의 영향에 대해서는 충분히 고려하지 않은 단순한 접근방법을 이용하고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 누출된 물질의 연소형태, 설비의 Geometry, 난류, 장애물, 바람의 영향 등 여러 변수를 고려하여 보다 정확하게 분석할 수 있는 CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics) Model을 검토함으로서 누출된 가스의 확산과정과 분포형태 그리고 폭발시 화염과 과압의 결과를 2D와 3D의 가상공간에서 제시하였다. 이러한 CFD 분석결과는 폭발에 대한 리스크 분석과 리스크 기반의 설계에 있어 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

Nowadays Viet Nam's energy supply which is mainly produced by fossil fuels energy such as coal, gas, and oil. However, the operation of fossil fuel power plants is one of the major causes of environmental pollution and climate change as well. It has a serious impact on the survival of human beings in general. As can be seen, the manufacturing industry is strongly invested, the demand for energy is also increasing. As traditional fossil fuels are being depleted and to minimize environmental pollution, renewable energy is the solution widely used by many countries in the world. Therefore, renewable energy has a significant role in maintaining the sustainability of world economy. Renewable energy sources such as solar energy, wind energy, biomass energy, geothermal energy can supply clean and nature-sourced energy to replace fossil fuels. Encouraging development of renewables is a general trend in the world today, which is also a common goal of COP21 commitment on global GHG reduction. The objective of this study is to assess the opportunities and challenges for renewable energy development in Vietnam, particularly for solar power. This study also discusses policies to promote the development of solar energy in Vietnam. While solar power provides ecological, economic and social benefits, it is exploited very modestly in Vietnam, where there are many barriers to slow down the development of renewable energy.

The purpose of this study is to review the U.S. renewable energy policies implemented by the federal government and the state governments to investigate potential barriers of renewable energy expansion and to develop policy implications for the successful renewable energy policy making in Korea. Recently, the restructuring in the energy supply chain has been being a new trend in many countries that shows a transition from traditional fossil fuels to sustainable renewable energy sources. The United States has enforced effective renewable energy policies (i.e., regulatory policies, financial incentives), which have led to the exploding growth of renewable energy facilities and productions over the last ten years. For example, many state governments in the U.S. are implementing Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) policies that require increased energy supply from renewable energy sources (i.e., solar, wind and geothermal). These RPS policies are expected to account for at least 10-50 percent of total electricity production in the next fifteen years. As part of results, in the recent three years, renewable energy in the U.S provided over 50 percent of total new power generation constructions. On the other hand, Korea initiated to develop climate change policies in 2008 for the Green Growth Policy that set up a target reduction of national Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions up to 37 percent by 2025. However, statistical data for accumulated renewable energy capacity refer that Korea is still in its early stage that contribute to only 7 percent of the total electricity production capacity and of which hydroelectric power occupied most of the production. Thus, new administration in Korea announced a new renewable energy policy (Renewable Energy 3020 Plan) in 2017 that will require over 95 percent of the total new generations as renewable energy facilities to achieve up to 20 percent of the total electricity production from renewable energy sources by 2030. However, to date, there have not been enough studies to figure out the barriers of the current policy environment and to develop implications about renewable energy policies to support the government plan in Korea. Therefore, this study reviewed the U.S. renewable energy policies compared with Korean policies that could show model cases to introduce related policies and to develop improved incentives to rapidly spread out renewable energy facilities in Korea.
