  • This study examined the political, social, and historical characteristics of the Great Mosque of Algiers, alongside its functional, spatial, and symbolic aspects. Generally, mosques are buildings where religious expression is profoundly intense, making it challenging to apply new types and designs. However, the Great Mosque of Algiers successfully inherits traditional Islamic features while simultaneously embodying modernity at an international level. The results of the multifaceted analysis of the convergence of tradition and modernity in this contemporary architectural work are as follows: First, through research on Islamic architecture, the study identified the functional and spatial characteristics expressed in Islamic buildings. In particular, the study highlighted the features of the Külliye as a multi-use building complex and provided a detailed analysis of symbolic elements such as minarets, domes, ablution facilities, and mihrabs, which are strongly emphasized in mosques where religious features are prominently displayed. Second, the analysis of the Great Mosque of Algiers' architectural plan explored the inte-gration of tradition and modernity. Traditional elements are akin to the identity of the building and contribute to its overall value. Third, by examining the development process of the Great Mosque of Algiers project, the study analyzed the international cooperation required in the modern era, understanding the hybrid nature of this architectural project.

  • Precast concrete elements are widely used in the construction of buildings and civil infrastructures as they provide higher construction quality and requires less construction time. However, any abnormalities in precast concrete surfaces such as non-flatness or distortion, can influence the erection of the elements as well as the functional performance of the connections between elements. Thus, it is important to undertake surface flatness and distortion inspection (SFDI) on precast concrete elements before their delivery to the construction sites. The traditional methods of SFDI which are conducted manually or by contact-type devices are, however, time-consuming, labor-intensive and error-prone. To tackle these problems, this study proposes techniques for SFDI of precast concrete elements using laser scanning technology. The proposed techniques estimate the $F_F$ number to evaluate the surface flatness, and estimate three different measurements, warping, bowing, and differential elevation between adjacent elements, to evaluate the surface distortion. The proposed techniques were validated by experiments on four small scale test specimens manufactured by a 3D printer. The measured surface flatness and distortion from the laser scanned data were compared to the actual ones, which were obtained from the designed surface geometries of the specimens. The validation experiments show that the proposed techniques can evaluate the surface flatness and distortion effectively and accurately. Furthermore, scanning experiments on two actual precast concrete bridge deck panels were conducted and the proposed techniques were successfully applied to the scanned data of the panels.

  • Purpose: This study compares and analyzes the design drawing changes that occur during the design process between hospital design competition and the final detailed design. Based on this, factors that can reduce the rate of changes in drawings are derived. The purpose is to provide basic data to lessen the rate of the changes in the process of architecture design and can be reflected in the design competition guidelines. Methods: In this study, cases of hospitals are selected which are built in 5 recent years. Then compare and analyze the drawings which was drawn in the process from submission of competition to final design. After investigating the design changes that occur after the design competition, analyze the fixed-elements which are the main causes of design changes. Fixed-elements can be narrow down into few architecture-factors such as vertical-core, shafts, public-corridor, HAVC, and mechanical/electrical spaces. Results: Result of the rate of changes in each selected hospital floors can be sorted into variable-elements and fixed-elements which tells that the higher the rate of changes of the fixed-elements, the higher the rate of changes of the variable-elements. Implications: In other words, it can be said as the lower the change rates of the fixed-element, lower changes in whole design changes which represents that the greater the efficiency can be shown in the design process.

  • This study examines the insulation coating technology of Fe-Si-Cr powder via selective oxidation annealing, which oxidizes elements selectively by controlling the oxidation potential. The study calculated the oxidation driving force of Fe, Si, and Cr, and conducted a thermodynamic analysis of oxidation and reduction conditions according to temperature and oxidation potential. Based on the results, a selective oxidation annealing was performed in an atmosphere in which Fe is reduced and only Si and Cr are selectively oxidized. The oxidation potential was controlled through the partial pressure ratio of hydrogen and water vapor. The XPS analysis results confirmed that a Si and Cr complex oxide layer formed on the powder surface after the selective oxidation annealing. Afterward, withstanding voltages were analyzed to evaluate the insulation property. Then, the withstanding voltage of the powder applying the selective oxidation annealing increased significantly compared to that of the initial powder. Further analysis showed that the powder annealed in an air atmosphere had a significantly lower saturation magnetic flux density than the initial powder, while the powder applying the selective oxidation annealing had only a slightly reduced saturation magnetic flux density.
