In this study, rebar QTO(Quantity Take-Off) was quickly produced from the BIM model prepared by Revit in the early design phase, and the available premium rates were quantitatively presented. For this purpose, the amount of rebar calculated using the BuilderHub, which specializes in calculating rebar QTO, was analyzed according to various factors such as member type, rebar diameter, building size, item type, and order length, and the effect of each factor on the rebar QTO was determined. In addition, the BIM model generated on Revit was used to establish parameters and processes required to produce rebar QTO, and proposed a rebar premium rate and a stirrup/hoop premium rate based on the BuilderHub output results. Through this study, it is expected that a rapid and efficient comparative evaluation of rebar QTO will be possible according to various structural design alternatives in the early design phase.

Radar cross section (RCS) analysis of chaff clouds is essential for the accurate detection and tracking of missile targets using radar. For this purpose, we compare the performance of two existing methods of predicting RCS of chaff clouds. One method involves summing up the RCS values of individual chaffs in a cloud, while the other method predicts the RCS values using aerodynamic models based on the probability density function. In order to compare and analyze the two techniques more precisely, the RCS of a single chaff computer-aided design model consisting of a half wavelength dipole was calculated using the commercial electromagnetic numerical analysis software, FEKO 7.0, to estimate the RCS values of chaff clouds via simulation. Thus, we verified that our method using the probability density distribution model is capable of analyzing the RCS of chaff clouds more efficiently.

The accuracy of the resistive-sheet technique in calculating the RCS(Radar Cross Section) of a deciduous leaf is examined in this paper for various thicknesses and dielectric constants, and a range of thicknesses for the resistive sheet technique is proposed. At first, a leaf was assumed to be a lossy dielectric disk, and the dielectric disk was again assumed to be a resistive sheet with an appropriate resistivity for a given thickness, a dielectric constant, and a frequency. Then, the RCS of the leaf was computed using the physical optics(PO) method, and was compared with the calculation results of a numerical analysis: i.e., a commercial tool based on the FEM (Finite Element Method) technique. It was shown that the error increases as the thickness increases. The error was 0.1 dB, for example, when the thickness is 1.2 mm and 3.7 dB when the thickness is 3 mm with a dielectric constant of(21.4, 9.7) at 9.6 GHz. It was also found that the error decreases as the dielectric constant increases. This study will be very useful for calculating the scattering characteristics of numerous leaves in a vegetation canopy for estimating its radar backscatter using scattering model.

This study established a numerical model capable of calculating the wave overtopping rate of coastal structures by nonlinear irregular waves using the FUNWAVE-TVD model, a fully nonlinear Boussinesq equation model. Here, a numerical model was established by coding the mean value approach equations of EurOtop (2018) and empirical formula by Goda (2009), and adding them as subroutines of the FUNWAVE-TVD model. The verification of the model was performed by numerically calculating the wave overtopping rate of nonlinear irregular waves on vertical wall structures and comparing them with the experimental results presented in EurOtop (2018). As a result of the verification, the numerical calculation result according to the EurOtop equation of this model was very well matched with the experimental result in all relative freeboard (R_c/H_mo) range under non-impulsive wave conditions, and the numerical calculation result of empirical formula was evaluated slightly smaller than the experimental result in R_c/H_mo < 0.8 and slightly larger than the experimental result in R_c/H_mo > 0.8. The results of this model were well represented in both the exponential curve and the power curve under impulsive wave conditions. Therefore, it was confirmed that this numerical model can simulate the wave overtopping rate caused by nonlinear irregular waves in an vertical wall structure.

Along with social changes, school buildings are getting complex and diversified unlike the past. However, objective data analysis on construction costs fall short. In particular, ordering agencies are in a great need of objective and practical construction cost management for on-budget construction and procurement of quality goods. This paper analyzes the design diagram for a newly built school with an order from the Daejeon Metropolitan Office of Education, and compares the analysis with those of other kinds of buildings. The results are: the total construction cost of one school unit is 8,017,596,000 won on average; the cost is in the order of building, machinery and equipment, electricity, communications and civil engineering; as to activity, RC construction takes account of $30.3\%$ of the total construction cost. 1'he cost of school construction per M2 is 838,000 won, which is 6th highest of 11 kinds of constructions and slightly lower than 950,000 won, the average price of comparative constructions. When it comes to the percentage, school building takes mote percentage of the total cost than comparative building while machinery and equipment, electricity and communications takes slightly less percentage. Through simple regression analysis of gross coverage, this paper suggests a model formula with which the total construction cost, construction cost in accordance with activity, how much main construction materials are to be used are predictable.

Electro interstitial scan shows potential as a non-invasive screening method. It can discriminate some diseases based on electric current response to induce low intensity direct current to limbs or local area of body. DDFAO was invented in France and it is claimed that multi-channel EIS(Electro Interstitial Scan) is useful for various diseases, especially, diagnoses of endocrine system such as diabetics are very effective. In this study, we verified the repeatability and sensitivity of DDFAO by using a RC phantom model and its clinical usefulness using data obtained from normal and diabetes subject groups. As a result, it showed the repeatability and the output change according to change of phantom characteristic, but it was hard to distinguish normal and patient groups non-invasively with just six surface electrodes of DDFAO. The repeatability and the clinical accuracy was not sufficient for screening or diagnostic purposes, as well. In spite of the results with low repeatability and accuracy conducted in this study, we still need further investigations to improve the EIS-based measurement method; EIS is very convenient and simple and it shows potential as a screening tool of the whole body health conditions rather than localized disease diagnosis.

High-frequency induction heating equipment can heat the metal by applying a High-Frequency power to the resonant circuit. The resonance circuit is composed of the work coil and the conduction-cooled power capacitor, it influences the performance of the heat treatment equipment according to the characteristics of the capacitor. However, dependence on conduction-cooled power capacitor's import is high due to lack of core technology research and development. Minimizing the generation of internal heat transmitted inside during LC resonance, reduce the reactive power loss, there is a need for a capacitor within the voltage characteristic outstanding. To implement localization it is vital that prior study of the analysis on the frequency response characteristic for the finished capacitor advanced manufacturer be implemented. Studying the interpolation method to read the value at any point of the characteristic curve for a given log-log scale was applied to the analysis tool of the capacitor by my proposed algorithm. The simulation for reproducing frequency response curves was attempted by assuming a capacitor in a simplified series equivalent RC circuit to obtain the equivalent series resistance value. It was confirmed that the reproduction rate was the result value above 83% as compared to the simulation of the properties and characteristics on the actual reactive power for Peak value, and that the algorithm can be applicable when analyzing and predicting the characteristic curves of a simpled model capacitor.

The Radar Cross Section (RCS) is a virtual region indicating the strength of a wavelength at which a radar signal is reflected and received. As the ship's RCS represents its own stealth performance and survivability, efforts have been made in various areas from design to construction to reduce the RCS. The RCS can be predicted using design drawings and CAD models, but it is necessary to measure the RCS at sea since sea clutter and multipath reflections occur in the sea environment. However, such RCS predictions and measured values provide only a simple relative magnitude to the user, and there has not been much research on this topic. In this paper, a missile countermeasure technique was studied using 3D RCS measurement data in an operating environment. The elevation and azimuth angle of the ship viewed from the missile were estimated using the location information of the missile, and the RCS value was inverted by mapping it to previously measured 3D RCS measurement data. In addition, by using the movement information of the missile, the RCS observed by the missile could be predicted in advance, and this method can be used to propose a response plan based on the maneuvering and chaff system.

As increasing number of large-size earthquake, the social interest of seismic retrofitting of RC structure is growing. Especially, the RC columns that are not reflected seismic design can not resist lateral loads by the earthquake. The brittle fracture of Non-seismic designed columns lead to full collapse of the building. Thus, the emergency columns reinforcement method is needed. That have a fast construction time, do not cause damage to the column. In the past, cross-sectional expansion method, a steel plate reinforcing method is applied mainly, but in recent years, carbon fiber sheet taking advantage of FRP (Fiber Reinforced Polymer) is widely used. In this study, retrofitting effect of seismic performance of FRP seismic reinforcement, which is possible to emergency construction, was examined. Reinforced concrete specimens were constructed to experimental study. The seismic performence of specimes retrifitted with FRP seismic reinforcement were evaluated. As a result, the seismic performance of specimen reinforced with FRP seismic reinforcement has been improved.

Durability is one of the most important and attractive subjects in concrete research field because not only durability of concrete is reduced by various degradation factors but also its reduction adversely influences the structural performance and service life of concrete structure. For this reason, a considerable amount of papers associated with concrete durability have been published and those researches were mainly focused on the changes of intrinsic properties of concrete due to chemicophysical degradations. However, the relationship between durability of concrete and structural behavior of concrete member has not been well established yet. In this study, calcium leaching degradation, a cause of concrete strength reduction, was dealt with. The experiments of compressive and flexural behavior of degraded concrete member were performed to evaluate the characteristics of structural behavior according to degradation level. Finally, the results from the experiments were compared with those obtained from nonlinear FEM analysis. The results from this study clearly showed that leaching degradation leads to decrease in compressive strength and compressive behavior evolves from brittle to ductile failure pattern during the degradation process. Load capacity and flexible rigidity of the degraded RC member decreased when the degradation level increased, in compressive zone. Additionally, it was found that the values from nonlinear FEM analysis, CDP model in ABAQUS, coincided well with the experimental results.
