In this paper, a new active noise control method was proposed to decrease a weight of car, and to increase a fuel efficiency and to provide passengers' comfort and calmness, instead of a passive noise control method such as sound absorbing and insulating materials. The proposed method is an enhanced active noise controller operating by a bidirectional control algorithm. The algorithm is simple to implement and available to analyze mathematically with nearly equivalent complexity of computation. Through simulations for engine noises of a car, the proposed controller was verified that its performances of time and frequency domain were superior to those of both feedforward and feedback controllers, and it had better capability of controlling the noises when the impulsive disturbance was flow in and the response of secondary path was varied.

Crevices between window and window frame cause not only heat losses but also serve path to sound transmission and infiltration of fine dusts that are harmful to humans. There were many efforts in the past to eliminate these crevices but because of the windows' indispensable function of opening and closing, it was an unsolvable problem. In this study, a new type sliding window is developed by applying horizontally rolling wheels to implement a surface sealing which is excellent for enhancing air tightness. To evaluate the feasibility of the newly developed window, forces for opening and closing, durability and air tightness were testet according to Korean Testing Standards. Force for opening a 2000 N window is 30 N. It endured 100,000 cycles of opening and closing. Infiltration was $0.00m^3/(m^2h)$ for a pressure difference of 10 Pa. Since this window has few moving parts, it has favorable features of low cost and few breakdown.

Recently, there has been an increased interest in the noise isolation capacity of floor slabs, and thus an increase of slab thickness is required. In addition, long span floor systems are frequently used for efficient space use of building structures. In order to satisfy these requirements, a biaxial hollow slab system has been developed. To verify the structural capacity of a biaxial hollow slab system, safety verification against earthquake loads is essential. Therefore, the seismic behavior of a biaxial hollow slab system has been investigated using material nonlinear time history analyses. For efficient time history analyses, the equivalent plate element model previously proposed was used and the seismic capacity of the example structure having a biaxial hollow slab system has been evaluated using the nonlinear finite element model developed by the equivalent frame method. Based on analytical results, it has been shown that the seismic capacity of a biaxial hollow slab system is not worse than that of a flat plate slab system with the same thickness.

This study is to explore floor impact sound and sound insulation of reinforced concrete structure with void-deck slab system which combines polystyrene void foam and T-shaped steel deck plate. A void-deck slab system can effectively reduce the amount of concrete used and hence the mass of a reinforced concrete slab. Also void slab system has dynamically favorable for bending. Three-bay 2-story building was constructed as a mock up test specimen using void-deck slab system and floor impact sound was measured to valuate sound insulation performance. Light weight floor impact and heavy weight floor impact were investigated. Light weight floor impact pressure levels were 32dB, 28dB, and 29db at representative locations which are $1^{st}$ level in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system. The heavy-weight floor impact pressure levels were 44dB, 45dB, and 43dB at representative locations which are $2^{nd}$ level in the floor impact sound insulation performance grading system. Therefore void-deck slab system can be used in public housing apartment building in terms of not only effectively reduced construction materials but also floor impact sound insulation.

Recently, on account of stress relief and settlement of a healthy drinking culture, many people are visiting a song practice room. In case of such song practice room, since the mechanical voice through a loud accompaniment-music and microphone is on using, there has made a very loud noise, and it influences a lot to the adjacent other space and song practice room booth. Consequently, from the designing stage an efficient measures for soundproof and sound-insulation should be arranged. However, as most of the song practice room wall-bodies that already built up or under construction step were constructed merely with consideration on an interior-wise factor only, it is suffering at the soundproof and sound-insulation. Reflecting such viewpoint, this Study has measured Sound Transmission Loss on the subject for the song practice room wall-body recently built up, and based on the actually measured data, by practice of comparison?analysis on it using various evaluation methods, would intends to present a fundamental material for establishment an efficient sound-insulation measure.

Since Equipment-Noises occurring in machine room penetrate wall-body and travel to the adjacent room in the form of air-borne sound and structure-borne sound, it is appearing as the main factor that injures a peaceful residential environment, and due to this, such noise-damage is currently increasing rapidly. Consequently, despite the measures for sound-insulation and soundproof against the equipment-noise penetrated wall-body is urgently required, but as the subjective evaluation considered for psychological response about the equipment-noise was not practiced, many dissatisfactions are still raising even after some measure was taken. On such point of view, this Research, at the spot, has actually measured the equipment-noise that had permeated various wall-bodies, and examined its physical characteristics, thence based upon this, has conducted Psycho-Acoustics Experiment and investigated the interrelation between the physical evaluation value and psychological reaction value. It is considered that such study result could be utilized as the useful material at the time of establishment of the Grading Standard for the insulation performance against the Architectural Plumbing Noise, in the future.

The nitrogen oxidized substance(NOx) from cars in city is one of serious air-polution problems. In advanced country, the powder or the liquid photocatalystic for asphalt pavement and noise barrier have been used to reduce the air-polution. In this paper, the effect of photocatalystic on asphalt pavement has been evaluated, especially for UV optical science reactions analyzed NOx purification efficiencies of the automobile waste gas. Judging from the limited lab-scale test, the use of the powder or the liquid photocatalystic is one of alternatives to reduce the NOx from automobile.

In this paper Statistical Energy Analysis has been considered to predict high frequency air borne interior noise. Dash panel Insulation is major part to reduce engine excitation noise. Transmission loss and absorption coefficient are considered to predict dash insulation performance. Transmission lose is derived from coupling loss factor and absorption coefficient is derived from internal damping loss factor. Material Biot properties were used to calculate each loss factors. Insulation geometry thickness distribution was hard to measure, so FeGate software was used to calculate thickness map from CAD drawing. Each predicted transmission losses between conventional insulation and light weight insulation were compared with SEA. Transmission loss measurement was performed to validate each prediction result, and it showed good correlation between prediction and measurement. Finally interior noise prediction was performed and result showed light weight insulation system can reduce 40% weight to keep similar performance with conventional insulation system, even though light weigh insulation system has lower sound transmission loss and higher absorption coefficient than conventional system.

The equipment noise of machine room that generates at the building where human-being is living, is becoming to an object of strong civil appeal, and because it influences to the residential space through the floor or wall, its damage is very serious level. Accordingly, while an efficient forming of the sound insulating measures is earnest, as most of the transmission loss data was the material measured in laboratory, in case when it was applied to the job site, due to the precision difference of constructing work and the influence of detoured transmitting sound, the case of disaccord is the most. Therefore, this thesis has intended to present a fundamental data for an efficient establishment of sound insulation measure, by means of comparison analysis with the existing transmission loss data, after measurement of the transmission loss on the object of various walls, at the construction equipment machinery room.

Post-tensioned void slab is frequently used for improving the deflection and sound proofing. Two one story 8m spanned structures were built. One structure applied post-tensioned solid slab, but the other did post-tensioned void slab. Dynamic characteristics, which is natural frequency and damping ratio, was compared between that of solid slab and void slab before and after post tension. The natural frequency of void slab was greater than that of solid slab before and after post tension. It was shown that damping ratio of solid slab and void slab was almost same at two stages.
