Porous cement concrete was developed to prevent hydroplaning of airway pavement or to reduce noise emission in highway. In has been introduced in domestic since early 1980' and applied to a pedestrian road or bike way. The concrete, however, has problems such as lack of optimized mix design, low strength and deterioration, etc. The purpose of this study is to manufacture porous cement concrete using blast-furnace slag to enhance mechanical properties. The results of this study are as follows; the compressive strength range is 102∼247kgf/㎠, the tensile strength range is 16∼70kgf/㎠, the bending strength range is 43∼70kgf/㎠, and the coefficient permeability range is 6.79 ×10-2∼1.17∼10-1cm/sec. To develope high-performance porous concrete, further studies are needed on optimum mixture of fineness modulus and admixture.

Construction vibration such as explosive blast, hydraulic breaker, vibratory roller, pile driving noise and so on, injuries in areas around the construction sites. In particular, underwater sound caused by ground vibration is propagation such as structure borne noise. Vibration and underwater sound due to construction activities may cause injury to river, sea or land fish farms near construction sites. The purpose of present study is to measure the sound pressure level and frequency analysis of the underwater noise generated by ground vibration(Blasting, hydraulic crawler drill, hydraulic breaker, vibratory roller). Underwater noise were monitoring by a hydrophone (TC 4013) and recorded, analysis were made using a by software (Prosig).

Most of the blast pollution that causes complaints is noise and vibration. Hence, special attentions need to be paid to controlling the underwater noise in designing blasting for those areas. This study estimated underwater sound pressure using distance from blasting and charge per delay and underwater sound pressure level using the underwater sound pressure. To identify the validity of the estimated value, the study demonstrated the results at other areas and compared actual results with estimated results.

In this study acoustical characteristics of system air conditioner in different ceiling systems was investigated in anechoic and real conditions. Same Types of air conditioners were installed in two different rooms. The results showed that motor's tonal component was emphasized at near fart of air blast blower in the exposed type while fan's harmonic component is emphasized rather in the enclosed type. This confirms tile result of acoustical intensity mapping which showed that Intensity level of 125Hz octave band increased in the exposed type while there was no noticeable difference at the frequency band in the enclosed type.

In this paper, we propose and observe a system that adopts Common-MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) level over all layer and Independent-MCS level for each layer in the combined AMC-V-BLAST (Adaptive Modulation and Coding-Vertical-Bell-lab Layered Space-Time) system. Also, comparing with the combined system using Common-MCS level, we observe throughput performance improvement in case of Independent-MCS level. As a result of simulation, Independent-MCS level case adapts modulation and coding scheme for maximum throughput to each channel condition in separate layer, resulting in improved throughput compared to Common-MCS level case. Especially, the results show that the combined AMC-V-BLAST system with Independent-MCS level achieves a gain of 700kbps in $7{\sim}9dB$ SNR (Signal-to-Noise Ratio) range against using Common-MCS level. In addition, the combined AMC-V-BLAST system using MMSEnulling method with receive diversity is verified that the difference of throughput between Independent MCS level system and common MCS level system in $7dB{\sim}9dB$ SNR is about 350kbps more or less.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to improve target detection rate degradation due to direct blast in a bi-static sonar systems with high duty cycle using an adaptive filters. It is very important to suppress the direct blast in the aforementioned sonar systems because it has a fatal effect on the actual system operation. In this paper, the performance was evaluated by applying the Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) and Recursive Least Square (RLS) algorithms to the simulation and sea experimental data. The beam signals of the target and direct blast bearings were used as the input and desired signals, respectively. By optimizing the difference between the two signals, the direct blast is removed and only the target signal is remained. As a result of evaluating the results of the matched filter in the simulation, it was confirmed that the direct blast was removed to the noise level in both Linear Frequency Modultated (LFM) and Generalized Sinusoidal Frequency Modulated (GSFM), and in the case of GSFM, the target sidelobe decreased by more than 20 dB, thereby improving performance. In the sea experiment, it was confirmed that the LFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by 10 dB, the GSFM reduced the level of the transmitted direct wave by about 4 dB, and the side lobe of the target decreased by about 4 dB, thereby improving the performance.

Recently, complaints or environmental problems caused by the noise and dust generated from crusher of the mine and quarry are emerging. Therefore mining facilities such as crushers and mills have been installed in an underground. In order to facilitate crusher equipments in the underground, excavation of large space is required and then the stability of the large space underground structure is an important issue. In this study, the blast experiments, which use a block of the limestone, are performed. Based on the blast experiments, the numerical model was prepared and simulated using dynamic fracture process analysis code(DFPA) with considering the rising time of applied borehole pressure and microscopic tensile strength variation. Comparing the non-dimensional crack length and no-dimensional tensile strength obtained from blast experiments and numerical analyses, the input parameters of DFPA code for predicting a radial tensile crack in limestone blasting were determined.

Owing to the saturation of ground spaces in downtown areas, underground spaces are being developed increasingly. Underground spaces are utilized for transportation, water supply and sewerage, communication zones, electric power zones, and various cultural complexes. In Korea, for excavating underground spaces, blasting methods using gunpowder such as the New Austrian Tunneling Method (NATM) are mainly used. However, the blasting method causes vibration and noise during tunnel excavation, generating many complaints from residents in the vicinity of the excavation site. To address this problem, various methods have been developed, and recently, vibration and noise have been reduced using deep excavation. This study predicts blast vibration changes according to the depth, under the same blasting and tunnel conditions, using numerical analysis based on the blast vibration measurement data of the GTX-A route, the tunnel cross-section drawings, and ground investigation reports. Furthermore, the necessary separation distance from densely populated areas such as residential areas is suggested by analyzing the trend of decreasing blast vibration according to the distance from ground surface directly above the blasting location.

Blasting method is used most engineering works for rock excavation. Blasting method is done much to upgrade of operation efficiency, contraction of construction period than other method. But blasting method happens damage by blasting vibration, nose and scattering. Therefore this study examined about effect, characteristic and application of Plasma method. To confirm effect measured vibration, noise and frequency, and analyzed data compare with general blasting.

Wind load characteristics is investigated for vibration analysis of wind turbine gearbox. A normal wind model assumed, of which the wind velocity is increased according to the height from ground. A blast wind model is assumed, of which the maximum velocity is located at the center and the velocity profile is normally distributed. The periodical torque and bending moments transmitted to the main shaft of wind turbine are investigated. The average values and the harmonic terms of the transmitted moments are studied on the wind direction of range $-45^{\circ}{\sim}45^{\circ}$ and the bending moment characteristics are examined, which is regarded as the main source of the misalignment of gear train.
