In this study, a thermal flow analysis was performed using the commercial code, ANSYS-FLUENT to reduce room temperature in a turbine building of power plant. The selected control volume of the operating floor and deaerator floor for the turbine building was respectively modelled. The skylight windows at the deaerator floor were employed for ventilation windows. Through the study, in the first we found that all window close of the deaerator floor is one alternative for reducing the temperature of the operating floor. The next thing we knew that for windows open at the front of the deaerator floor, the temperature of deaerator zone and crane zone can be respectively reduced to $1.5^{\circ}C$ and $1.6^{\circ}C$. In addition, for windows close at the rear of the deaerator floor, the temperature of deaerator zone and crane zone can be respectively reduced to 1.4 and $0.5^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it was concluded that a better choice is to open the front windows at deaerator floor to reduce the temperature of the entire deaerator floor having high temperature.

The purpose of this study is to provide a basis for establishing regional harvesting systems that ist the prerequisites for the forest mechanization. The factors restricting to the forest harvesting and logging methods from topographical aspects are studied for this purpose. Three main harvesting methods studied in this paper are : shortwood method, longwood method and full tree method. This study shows : the shortwood method is suitable for low, the longwood method for medium, the full tree method for high topographical conditions. For the logging methods, the focus of the study is on various ground based logging systems by animalpower, manpower, gravitation, wheeled & crawler vehicle and cable. The factors limiting the coverage of logging operation are slope and logging distance. The cable crane logging methods are classified by logging distance into short distance(to 300 or 400m), middle distance(to 700 or 800m) and long distance cable crane methods (over 700 or 800m). The wheeled vehicle method shows serious damages to forest resources, whereas the logging by log-line of the gravitation logging method and cable crane method tend to minimize such damages. The wheeled & crawler vehicle method also shows difficult to apply in the high slope conditions, whereas cable crane method can be applied to maximum 120% steep slope and uphill conditions.

A single layer-latticed dome is advantageous for large span structures because it is very stiff despite the light weight of the structure itself. However, this structure becomes easily unstable during erection due to its large size. The Block method is popular with the large span structures. A partial block of the dome is fabricated on the ground and lifted by crane to a designated location of structures. The lifting point selection is very important to create a stable erection and to avoid buckling of members during the erection. The purpose of this study is to analyze the structural behaviors and buckling characteristics according to the lifting point of single-layer latticed domes with triangle network in order to take materials about the safe and economic erection. The conclusions are obtained as follow. 1) The buckling strength of the block part varies with the location of lifting points when it is erected. In case, the height of the dome is lower, the effort of buckling strength of the structure is higher. 2) In buckling strength, the effect of the lifting rope length is smaller than it of the lifting points change.

The current estimation system of construction equipment cost was first introduced in 1960's when general contractors had ownership of equipment. However, most of construction equipment in construction sites has been rented from equipment leasing company these days. Therefore, the improvement of current cost estimation system is therefore inevitable in order to advance domestic construction industry. This study is aimed to suggest the improved system by analyzing nationwide market rental rates of major construction equipment. A user friendly prototype of actual database grounded on actual market rental rates collected from over 200 leasing companies in the nation was proposed. The database includes various rates and statistics analyzed by different form of contract as well as different region. Using the collected data, "The Cost Estimate System in Construction Equipment Database" was developed by using VBA(Visual Basic for Applications). The system makes users convenient to utilize the rental rates by choosing equipment and region, and various types of contract.

With an increasing trend toward high-rise modular construction, the simultaneous use of tower cranes at a modular construction site has recently been observed. Tower crane layout planning (TCLP) has a significant effect on cost, duration, safety and productivity of a project. In a modular construction project, particularly, poor decision about the layout of tower cranes is likely to have negative effects like additional employment of cranes and redesign, which will lead to additional costs and possible delays. It is, therefore, crucial to conduct thorough inspection of field conditions, lifting materials, tower crane capacity to make decisions on the layout of tower cranes. However, several challenges exist in planning for a multi-crane construction site in terms of safety and collaboration, which makes planning with experience and intuition complicated. This paper suggests a multi-objective optimization model for selection of the number of tower cranes, their models and locations, which minimizes cost and conflict. The proposed model contributes to the body of knowledge by showing the feasibility of using multi-objective optimization for TCLP decision-making process with consideration of trade-offs between cost and conflict.

선박은 판과 보강재를 효율적으로 조립한 매우 복잡한 구조물이고, 이동하는 구조물로써는 최대규모의 구조물이다. 특히, 선체 구조의 설계란 "예상되는 모든 하중에 충분히 견딜 수 있는 강도(strength)와 강성(stiffness)을 가진 부재의 크기를 결정하고 적절히 배치하는 과정이다." 라고 말할 수 있다. 선체 구조의 설계는 부재의 배치가 얼마나 적절하게 잘되어 있는가에 달려 있다고 하여도 과언이 아닐 정도로 매우 중요하다. 주요 구조 부재의 부재 배치에 대한 기본적인 개념은 판 부재의 용접선(seam line), 종, 횡늑골의 간격, 종거어더 등을 예로 들 수 있으며, 부재의 배치는 최적 설계 및 공작상의 관점으로부터 선정되어야 하며, 또한 선체 전체의 구조적인 연결이 불연속이 되지 않도록 하여야 한다. 특히, 판 부재의 용접선은 여러 가지 표준치수로 생산되는 판 들 중, 판의 기준 폭이 얼마인 것을 사용하는 것이 공작상 또는 배치상 가장 편리한 가를 생각하여야 한다. 이것은 선박의 크기에 따라 다르겠지만, 조선소 크레인의 용량 및 가공상, 강도상의 문제를 고려하여 가능한 한용접선의 수를 줄이는 것이 바람직하다. 용접선을 줄이기 위해서는 판 부재의 폭을 넓게 하면 되나, 철강회사에서 표준으로 생산 판매하는 주판의 폭보다 넓은 판을 주문 구입 한다는 것은 곧 생산비용의 증가로 이어지는 것으로 이는 주판 구입 경비 측면에서는 바람직하지 않다. 따라 서, 주판 구입경비의 최소화를 유도하면서도 주판 폭의 적정 및 용접선 개수 최소화를 유지할 수 있도록 설계하는 것은 중요하지만, 용접선 배치의 문제는 다양한 입력 변수를 고려해야 하는 복잡한 문제이기 때문에 그간 최적화 관점에서 접근하지 못하고 시니어급 엔지니어가 가진 경험과 조선소의 지침서에 기재된 절차에 따라 대략적인 해를 결정하여 왔다. 본 연구는 이러한 복잡한 문제를 최적화 방법인 당금질(Simulated Annealing) 방법을 이용하여 해결한 결과를 소개하며, 그 결과와 효용성에 대해 논하도록 하겠다.

호안은 유수로부터 제방과 하안을 보호하는 구조물로 태풍 또는 집중호우로 인한 홍수로부터의 안정성이 확보되어야 한다. 적정한 호안공법 또는 제품의 선정을 위해서는 유속, 소류력 등이 반영된 수리 안정성 검토가 필요하나 현재 국내에는 이와 관련한 객관적인 평가나 시험 기준이 제시되어있지 않기 때문에 국내에서는 실제 수리실험을 통한 호안제품 및 공법의 수리학적 안정성을 제공하는 경우는 찾아보기 어려운 것이 현실이다. 본 연구는 호안공법 중 친환경적 재료를 사용하여 개발된 스톤매트리스 호안공법의 수리적 안정성을 검토하기 위해 수행되었다. 스톤매트리스 공법은 상부망과 하부망의 체결을 통해 돌을 군체로 일체화 시킴으로써 치수 안정성이 매우 뛰어나며, 충분한 식생공간을 확보한 공법으로 재료의 2차 변형 방지가 가능하며 안전한 군체 유지가 가능한 공법이다. 이러한 공법에 대한 안정성 검토를 위한 실규모 실험은 안동 하천연구센터에서 수행하였다. 실험에 사용된 수로는 8°의 경사를 갖는 급경사수로에서 수행되었다. 수로의 제원은 폭 3m, 길이 30m 의 직사각형 형태의 직선수로로 이루어져 있다. 시험체는 실규모로 제작되며 2m × 10m 의 제원을 갖는 별도의 트레이에 시공되어 실험시 크레인을 이용하여 실험수로에 안착시킨다. 수리 안정성 실험은 실험대상유량을 단계별로 나누어 점차적으로 증가시키며, 시험체의 이탈, 파괴 등의 큰 변화가 발생하였을 경우 실험을 종료한다. 수리량 측정은 유속측정, 수위관측 등으로 이루어지며, 재료의 변형은 3D스캐너를 이용하여 변위를 검토하였다. 총 3회에 걸친 실험결과 실험수로에서 발생가능한 최대유량인 4.34cms 조건에서 실험체 바닥에서의 소류력은 약 300N/m² 의 소류력이 발생하는 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 재료의 수직변위는 최대 1.8mm로 계측기 오차범위에 근접한 수치를 보이는 것으로 실험체의 이동이나 석재의 파손은 발생하지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

In the Korea Ocean Nodule Development (KONOD)-1 area between the Clarion and Clipperton fracture zones of the northeastern equatorial Pacific, the pelagic sediment layer can be divided into two or three units on air-gun seismic profile. The acoustic units can be also correlated with those in the DSDP site 163 core. The topmost unit (unit I) is acoustically transparent and consists of zeolitic clay and radiolarian ooze of late Oligocene to middle Eocene age. Unit IIA is well-stratified and transparent in the lower part. consisting of the radiolarian ooze intercalated with chert beds and zeolitic clay of early Eocene to Paleocene age. Unit IIB is stratified with layers of silicified and compacted flinty-cherty nannofossil chalk (late Cretaceous) on top of the acoustic basement. Units I and IIA form the Line Islands Formation that overlies an unnamed formation of unit lIB. The entire layers and the unit I layer propressively thin northward, except near the Line Islands Ridge. The distribution of sediment layer has been controlled by the equatorial Cenozoic CCD and the northward spreading of the Pacific plate. The change of CCD corresponding to the subsidence and migration of the plate has determined the sediment composition of the DSDP 163 core passed across the equator of high sedimentation suite. The late Cretaceous sedimentary layer (unit IIB) in the 163 core was formed above the CCD south of the equator. The unit IIA resulted from rapid subsidence of the Pacific plate below the CCD in the Paleocene. The unit IIA is seen only in the west of 149 W. Both the units IIA and I were probably formed during the Pacific plate passing and after leaving the equatorial region respectively since early Eocene. In the south of the KONOD-l area, the unit I was redistributed by bottom current, a branch of the Antarctic Bottom Water flowing eastward guided by the Clipperton fracture zone. The activities of bottom currents were prolonged for a long geological time. Turbidite layers occur more than 350 km from the Hawaiian Ridge to near the Clarion fracture zone. They originated directly from the Hawaiian Ridge, filling the topographic lows.

The purpose of this paper is to measure the clustering change and analyze empirical results. Additionally, by using k-means, hierarchical, and mixed models on Asian container ports over the period 2006-2015, the study aims to form a cluster comprising Busan, Incheon, and Gwangyang ports. The models consider the number of cranes, depth, birth length, and total area as inputs and container twenty-foot equivalent units(TEU) as output. Following are the main empirical results. First, ranking order according to the increasing ratio during the 10 years analysis shows that the value for average linkage(AL), mixed ward, rule of thumb(RT)& elbow, ward, and mixed AL are 42.04% up, 35.01% up, 30.47%up, and 23.65% up, respectively. Second, according to the RT and elbow models, the three Korean ports can be clustered with Asian ports in the following manner: Busan Port(Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Qingdao, and Singapore), Incheon Port(Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Manila, and Bangkok), and Gwangyang Port(Gungzhou, Ningbo, Qingdao, and Kasiung). Third, optimal clustering numbers are as follows: AL(6), Mixed Ward(5), RT&elbow(4), Ward(5), and Mixed AL(6). Fourth, empirical clustering results match with those of questionnaire-Busan Port(80%), Incheon Port(17%), and Gwangyang Port(50%). The policy implication is that related parties of Korean seaports should introduce port improvement plans like the benchmarking of clustered seaports.
