The purpose of this study was to present an analysis model for finding the correlation between visibility and evacuation time as users move in the outpatient department of the general hospital. The spatial scope of the study was limited to the first floor and second floor which are used for the outpatient department. Traffic density in outpatient departments was surveyed on site. Based on the surveyed traffic density, the evacuation simulation model was established for calculating the escape route and evacuation time for an individual user. The traffic density of the outpatient department as per the evacuation time was also calculated. With using evacuation simulations, the flow of evacuees was calculated through the density of traffic over the time of evacuation. Visibility data were set in the simulation model for users' escape routes. A correlation analysis between the product of evacuation flow measure and visibility measure of the evacuation population and evacuation time was performed. The analysis result showed negative correlation within a specific distance range. This study presented an analysis model showing that the evacuation condition considering spatial visibility in the outpatient department of general hospital visibility was negatively related to the analyzed evacuation time at the design stage.

Multi-household buildings are efficiently maintained from the mid- and long-term viewpoint according to the long-term repair coverage system etc. On the other hand, public buildings are not systematically maintained due to a lack of past maintenance cost data and inefficient budget plans, among other problems. Targeting public buildings in Incheon, this study analyzed operation costs variables. To verify the analysis results, they underwent a correlation analysis and a multi-regression analysis. With regard to public buildings electricity, gas and tap water cost, the influence power of the served life, floor area, and workforce were analyzed, revealing that electricity cost was highly correlated with workforce, while gas and tap water cost were correlated with tap water cost. Also, the correlation analysis results were verified through a multi-regression analysis, and a maintenance cost estimation model was presented using a regression equation.

Displacement is an important element for evaluating the stability and failure mechanism of hydraulic structures. Digital image correlation (DIC) is a useful technique to measure a three-dimensional displacement field using two cameras without any contact with test material. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behavior of stacked geotextile tubes using the DIC technique. Geotextile tubes are stacked to build a small-scale temporary dam model to exclude water from a specific area. The horizontal and vertical displacements of four stacked geotextile tubes are monitored using a dual camera system according to the upstream water level. The geotextile tubes are prepared with two different fill materials. For each dam model, the interface layers between upper and lower geotextile tubes are either unreinforced or reinforced with a cementitious binder. The displacement of stacked geotextile tubes is measured to analyze the behavior of geotextile tubes. Experimental results show that as upstream water level increases, horizontal and vertical displacements at each layer of geotextile tubes initially increase with water level, and then remain almost constant until the subsequent water level. The displacement of stacked geotextile tubes depends on the type of fill material and interfacial reinforcement with a cementitious binder. Thus, the proposed DIC technique can be effectively used to evaluate the behavior of a hydraulic structure, which consists of geotextile tubes.

In this study, the acoustic performance was analyzed by architectural shapes of the hall. There are four architectural shapes of halls. They are rectangular, horseshoe, surround, and fan-shape. Eight acoustic parameters were used to determine the acoustic performance. These are RT₆₀, EDT, C₈₀, BQI, LF, G_mid, G₁₂₅ and ITDG. First, measurement data of famous concert halls around the world were analyzed. The correlation coefficient R was obtained by regression analysis of the relationship between the subjective ranking of the halls and the acoustic parameters. It was found that BQI, G, and ITDG have higher correlation coefficients R. Also the average of acoustic parameters for each architectural shape were obtained. The total acoustic performance for each shape was calculated by using the correlation coefficient R as a weight for each acoustic parameters. As a result, rectangular halls and horseshoe halls showed good acoustical performances. Second, 3D models of each architectural shape were created and acoustic simulation had been performed. The simulation was performed by creating 3D models of each four shapes of concert halls with the same volume and sound absorption coefficient. Listening test was carried out using the sound source which is created from impulse responses of 3D model. As a result, rectangular hall and horseshoe hall showed the best performance however surround hall and fan-shaped hall showed relatively poor performance.

Estimates of project costs in the early stages of a construction project have a significant impact on the operator's decision-making in important matters, such as the site's decision or the construction period. However, it is difficult to carry out the initial stage with confidence because information such as design books and specifications is not available. In previous studies, case-based reasoning was used to predict initial construction costs, and genetic algorithms were used to calculate the weight of the inquiry phase among them. However, some say that it is difficult to perform better than the current year because existing genetic algorithms are calculated in random numbers. To overcome these limitations, correlation numbers using correlation analysis rather than random numbers are reflected in the genetic algorithm by method of local search, and weights are calculated using a hybrid genetic algorithm that combines local search and genetic algorithms. A case-based reasoning model was developed using the weights calculated and validated with the data. As a result, it was found that the hybrid GA-CBR applied with local search performed better than the existing GA-CBR.

Recently government is set to expand its policy to promote technical proposal tendering in a dimension of technical competitiveness reinforcement. Because a variety of complicated techniques are applied in technical proposal tendering and variables could be occurred in terms of cost, schedule, constructability and others when techniques are reflected on design document collaboration management among participants is considered insignificantly. So the research would determine primary management factors and presents management direction for collaboration among participants. First action for this is categorization of hindrance factors to collaboration into five factors as 'Poor work processing', 'Communication cap among participants', 'Lack of understanding about technical proposal tendering', 'Difficulty of decision making' and 'Insufficiency in managing the work data'. Second correlation analysis is conducted between the categorized factors and participants according to tasks in technical proposal tendering to figure out the correlation degree of variables. If there is a strong correlation between variables, hindrance factor in that case regarded primary management factor to collaboration and finally management direction is presented at each task.

Roots play important roles in water and nutrient uptake and in response to various environmental stresses. Investigating diversification of cultivars through root phenotyping is important for crop improvement in adzuki beans. Therefore, we analyzed the morphological and architectural root traits of 22 adzuki bean cultivars using 2-dimensional (2D) root imaging. Plants were grown in plastic tubes [6 cm (diameter) × 40 cm (height)] in a greenhouse from July 25^th to August 28^th. When the plants reached the 2^nd or 3^rd trifoliate leaf stage, the roots were removed and washed with tap water to remove soil particles. Clean root samples were scanned, and the scanned images were analyzed using the WinRHIZO Pro software. The cultivars were analyzed based on six root phenotypes [total root length (TRL), surface area (SA), average diameter (AD), and number of tips (NT) were included as root morphological traits (RMT); and link average length (LAL) and link average diameter (LAD) were included as root architectural traits (RAT)]. According to the analysis of variance (ANOVA), a significant difference was observed between the cultivars for all root morphological traits. Distribution analysis demonstrated that all root traits except LAL followed a normally distributed curve. In the correlation test, the most important morphological trait, TRL, showed a strong positive correlation with SA (r = 0.97^***) and NT (r = 0.94^***). In comparison, between RMT and RAT, TRL showed a significantly negative correlation with LAL (r = -0.50^***); however, TRL did not show a correlation with LAD. Based on RMT and RAT, we identified the cultivars that ranked 5% from the top and bottom. In particular, the cultivar "IT 236657" showed the highest TRL, SA, and NT, while the cultivar "IT 236169" showed the lowest values for TRL, SA, and NT. In addition, the coefficient of variance for the six tested root traits ranged from (14.26-40%) which suggested statistical variability in root phenotypes among the 22 adzuki bean varieties. Thus, this study will help to select target root traits for the adzuki bean breeding program in the future, generating climate-resilient adzuki beans, especially for drought stress, and may be useful for developing biotic and abiotic stress-tolerant cultivars based on better root trait attributes.

The constrained modulus, representative property to evaluate compressibility of soil, is needed to estimate the settlement of ground structure. A series of lab and field cone penetration tests for clayey soil of Busan new-port and Noksan industrial area were conducted to evaluate the estimation method of constrained modulus. Since CPT generates large deformation of ground, it is difficult to correlate the cone resistance with the constrained modulus. Therefore, appropriate correlation between them is essential to estimate the constrained modulus based on CPT results. The test results show that the ratio of the constrained modulus to the cone resistance is inversely proportional with plasticity index. Based on this result, the estimation method of constrained modulus for Busan clay is suggested.

In the early of Joseon Dynasty, Royal Tomb developed from stone chamber tomb to lime chamber tomb through precedents. The lime chamber tomb consists of main-chamber(JeongGwang) and sub-chamber(ToeGwang). This separation makes character to construct tumulus of the Royal Tomb half and half. By this character, the Royal Tomb are not constructed by separate structure but constructed by coadjustment. The underground structure and tumulus of the Royal Tomb affect each other in the size and method of construction. The selecting type of Royal Tomb is generally made decision through terrain and politics. This study prove the architectural structure is also one of the major cause the that select type of Royal Tomb.
