Retaining wall with relieving platform has advantages in terms of stability and costs because it decreases the earth pressure by installing the relieving platform. However, there have not been previous studies of the optimal design for the retaining wall with reliving platform in practice. In this study, the optimal design conditions of the retaining wall with relieving platform are proposed by evaluating the reduction effect of lateral earth pressure based on the numerical analysis of 40 cross sections by changing wall types, wall heights, shelf locations and lengths. As a result, the optimal location of a shelf is the central part of a retaining wall (h/H=0.50) and the optimal length is recommended to be designed to satisfy b/L=0.45, at least.

Photocatalyst reaction has limit of its usage because application range mostly centered on atmosphere purification area. Thus, it is true that an alternative plans are necessary to increase usage of $TiO_2$ as photocatalyst material. (1) The result of flow felt according to $TiO_2$ replacement rate has shown that both of anatase type and rutile type over 12% deviated from desired flow, $110{\pm}5mm$. Consequently, the range below 9% will be suitable when the anatase type $TiO_2$ if used for functional additives if workability is considered. (2) After compressive strength test, replacement rate 6-9% is estimated as suitable range if $TiO_2$ is used as compressive strength material. Rutile type and anatase type are suitable for in early-age strength and long-age strength respectively. (3) It was revealed that bending strength was dramatically decreased when replacement rate was increased. The main reason were the increase of $TiO_2$ doesn't influence hydration reaction and the decrease of bending strength. (4) The result from the water purification properties test using ion-chromatograhpy has shown that the condition with anatase type $TiO_2$ was normally better than rutile type on the same replacement rate.

The super tall building above 100 floors is required that each floor's height is more than 4 meters, and each core wall's thickness is more than 60cm. Therefore, for the successive accomplishment of super tall building, the full scale mock-up test was required. The test results are as follows; Real strength of core wall was satisfied with design strength at 28 days regardless of types of strength, and according to the consolidation effect, lower part's strength was a little higher than upper part's strength. Lateral force of HSC was evaluated with max. $4.5ton/m^2$, and hydration temperature of mock-up test was evaluated that maximun heat of central part revealed about $80^{\circ}C$ at 70MPa and $65^{\circ}C$ at 50MPa, and, the difference between inner and outter part revealed about $30^{\circ}C$ at 70MPa and $12^{\circ}C$ at 50MPa. Also, no crack by hydration temperature was not shown on the surface.

The case for study in this paper is the Main Plan and Management for the Fukutoshin; the restructure of Nishi Shinjuku, This plan was first outlines in 1960, and includes a vast area of 96 ha for redevelopment. It aims to create a totally new center in the city. This was the first case in Japan, and in the world of a plan of these magnitudes. involving urban landscape restructuring from three points: Landscape (open spaces for public use: the Shinjuku Central Park and the surrounding area of the buildings), transport and commercial building developments. The Landscape plan for the green areas was decided in a way to compensate the population of the area and the visitors. As a rule, high-rise building constructions are placed each one in single lots and are surrounded by open spaces and greenery. Pedestrain areas are widened and also connected by bridges in a way to allow free circulation, and interconnection between the constructions and the green areas. Another important factor is the role that Private Corporation, and public interest plays. Joining these two forces has allowed the concretization of this project. This interpolation between public and private roles was an innovation in Japan, and it also the key for the concretion of the project. The historical review of the process and management of this project help us to put into perspective the introduction of new concepts and ideas, which were not related at that time to traditional Japanese Landscaping. Furthermore we are better able to understand the substantial increase in the percentage of land dedicated to green areas in contrast to the typical standards of Japanese cities.

There are two methods for conducting the containment local leakage rate test (LLRT) in nuclear power plants: the make-up flow rate method and the pressure decay method. The make-up flow rate method is applied first in most power plants. In this method, the leakage rate is measured by checking the flow rate of the make-up flow. However, when it is difficult to maintain the test pressure because of excessive leakage, the pressure decay method can be used as a complementary method, as the leakage rates at pressures lower than normal can be measured using this method. We studied the method of measuring over leakage using the pressure decay method for conducting the LLRT for the containment building at a nuclear power plant. We performed experiments under conditions similar to those during an LLRT conducted on-site. We measured the characteristics of the leakage rate under varies pressure decay conditions, and calculated the compensation ratio based on these data.

In order to analyze the lateral-load resisting capability according to the core locations, three-dimensional structural analyses were performed for 20-story buildings with symmetric plan. Four analytical models for a center core, a single-axial eccentric core, and a double-axial eccentric core were constructed, and eigenvalue analyses, wind-load analyses, and earthquake-load analyses were performed. Torsion did not occur in the central core building, but the bending and torsion occurred in combination with the arrangement of the eccentric core, and the lateral-load resisting capability was degraded. The change in the wind load according to the eccentric core was small, but the maximum lateral displacement was found to increase greatly by the eccentric arrangement of the core. In addition, in case of the eccentric core, the seismic load was slightly reduced compared to the center core due to the decrease in the lateral stiffness, but it was found that the maximum story drift ratio increased significantly due to the torsional effect. Based on these results, the structural behavior according to the position of the core can be clearified and used as a guideline for core locations in the planning and design stage.

Currently, Exterior wall's U-value about building envelope is 0.36 W/$m^2K$(Central Region), but window's one is 2.1 W/$m^2K$ according to air gap of glazing, filling gas, coating and type of windows. The door"s one is 1.6~5.5 W/$m^2{\cdot}K$ depending on material and configuration of door. As such, energy loss per unit of door is considerably larger like windows. The door for the recognition was relatively low because energy loss through the door is relatively small compared to window area. In this paper, thermal performance was analyzed through simulation targeting the door which has thermal break that can improve the insulation performance and doesn't have one. As a results of simulations, case1 was calculated as the average of 1.63 w/m2k and case 2 was calculated as the average of 4.14 w/m2k. The thermal performance of door depends on the type and condition of insulations. As a results of final simulations, Case1 was calculated as 1.06 w/m2k and Case2 was calculated as 1.27 w/m2k. As a results of the experiments, thermal performance of case 1 was measured as 1.28 w/m2k. Error between experiments and simulations is considered problems encountered when creating the samples. The effect of door frame on the overall thermal performance is slight because it's a small proportion of the door frame.

This research empirically analyzed the factors associated with the energy consumption of tourism hotels in Busan, Ulsan, and the Kyoungnam region of Korea based on their individual and locational characteristics. The study adopted a comprehensive modeling approach involving multi-level regression analyses that allowed for improved accuracy by considering the hierarchical structures of the hotels and their locational characteristics. The results indicated that the majority of energy consumption can be explained by the hotels'individual characteristics, including the size of building structure and the services, while their effects vary by region with statistical significance. Furthermore, the proximity to central commercial districts and hotel clusters had a significant influence on the variability in their energy consumption, indicating that locational factors are also important determinants. The findings here suggest the need for regional energy policies and solutions at various urban scales along with conventional energy policies at the building level and highlight regional responsibilities when attempting to create sustainable tourism industries.
