One of the most weak parts for energy loss through the whole building components are building envelopes. Lots of technbologies to increase the thermal performance of building envelopes have been introduced in recent years. Transparent insulation is a new technology for building insulation and has function both solar transmittance and thermal insulation. This study has been carried out to develope the transparent insulation panels and TI-wall system and to analyze the thermal performance of TI-wall system by experiments using test-cell and dynamic energy simulation program ESP-r 9.0. This system is regarded as a efficient building envelope system suitable for to reduce the heating and cooling load of the buildings in our country.

Heat transfer characteristics in a rotating heat pipe with evaporator of the rotating disc and the condenser of the screwed groove is investigated by numerical method for various dimensionless film thicknesses, Re, C_{p}{\Delta}T/h_{fg}$, rotational speed and working fluids. The temperature difference between evaporator wall and vapor increases a little, but the temperature difference between condenser wall and vapor decreases rapidly as Re increases. As the dimensionless film thickness decreases, the temperature difference of evaporator and condenser decreases. As the rotational speed increases, the temperature difference between evaporator wall and vapor increases but the temperature difference between condenser wall and vapor decreases. The Nusselt number can be shown as a function of dimensionless film thickness and Re, that is $Nu=0.963\cdot(\delta^{-1}(\omega/\vpsilon)^{-1/2}{\cdot}Re^{0.5025})$.

Computational work using the axisymmetric, compressible, Navier-Stokes Equations is carried out to predict the discharge coefficient of mass flow through a micro-critical nozzle. Several kinds of turbulence models and wall functions are employed to validate the computational predictions. The computed results are compared with the previous experimented ones. The present computations predict the experimental discharge coefficients with a reasonable accuracy. It is found that the standard $k-\varepsilon$ turbulence model with the standard wall function gives a best prediction of the discharge coefficients. The displacement thickness of the nozzle wall boundary layer is evaluated at the nozzle throat and is well compared to a prediction obtained by an empirical equation. The resulting displacement thickness of the wall boundary layer is about 2% to 0.6% of the diameter of the nozzle throat for the Reynolds numbers of 2000 to 20000.

A probabilistic study of a reinforced earth wall in a frictional soil using the surface response methodology (RSM) is presented. A deterministic model based on numerical simulations is used (Abdelouhab et al. 2011, 2012b) and the serviceability limit state (SLS) is considered in the analysis. The model computes the maximum horizontal displacement of the wall. The response surface methodology is utilized for the assessment of the Hasofer-Lind reliability index and is optimized by the use of a genetic algorithm. The soil friction angle and the unit weight are considered as random variables while studying the SLS. The assumption of non-normal distribution for the random variables has an important effect on the reliability index for the practical range of values of the wall horizontal displacement.

Working condition is one of the most important factors in precision working. In this study, we optimized the vibration acceleration level(VAL) of Al 2024 alloy to select optimum working condition of side wall end-milling using RSM(Response Surface Methodology). RSM was well adapted to make analytic model for minimizing vibration acceleration, created the objective function and saved a great deal of computational time. Therefore, it is expected that the proposed optimization procedure using RSM can be easily utilized to solve the optimization problem of working condition. The experimental results of the surface roughness and VAL showed the validity of the proposed working condition of side wall end-milling as it can be observed.

In this study, the algorithm for the optimum design of cantilever retaining wall was de veloped and solved using Modified Method of Feasible Directions(MMFD), Sequential Linear Programming(SLP) and Sequential Quadratic Programming(SQP). The algorithm was applied to the optimum design of 3-different height cantilever re tairing walls. It was shown that even though the starting points and optimization strategies are dif- ferent, the objective function and optimum design variables converge to within a close range, and consequently the reliability and efficiency of the underlying optimum design algorithm can be verified. It is expected that the optimum design algorithm developed in this study can be utilized efficiently for the optimum design of any scale cantilever retaining wall. Using optimum design method, cantilever retaining wall will be designed more economi- cally and reasonably than using traditional design method.

The focus of this study were to investigate patterns between wall pressures and stresses with grain moisture of soybean and rice varieties widespread cultivated in Turkey in order to determine needed designing parameters for structure analysis in silos at filling and discharge. In this study, the wall pressures and stresses were evaluated as a function of moisture contents in the range of 8-14% and 10-14% d.b. The pressures and von Mises stresses affected as significant by the change of grain moisture content. The main cause of pressure and stress drops is changed in bulk density. Therefore is extremely important bulk density and moisture content of the product at the structural design of the silos. 4 mm wall thickness, were determined to be safe for von Mises stresses in both soybean and rice silos is smaller than 188000 kPa.

Fully non-local Quasicontinuum method using sub-divided region with Hermite interpolation function is proposed for simulation of carbon nanotube. Tersoff-Brenner potential is adopted for interaction of bonded atoms and also van der Waals force for non-bonded interaction. Bending of single wall carbon nanotube with chirality (20,0) and 15nm length is simulated up to 90 degree. Bending of double wall carbon nanotube with chirality (20,0) and (12,0) is simulated up to 65 degree. Bending of four wall carbon nanotube is simulated up to 45 degree.

Exterior walls are designed and constructed through design focused exterior wall system. Nowadays, freeform facade design has been changing according to material, form and function of the exterior wall system. Especially, curtain wall facade system is designed and manufactured using solar shading faces. However, the traditional method have a lot of difficulties in the currently performing technology for curtain wall facade. It is important to make the freeform facade components that integrated as a surface of freeform buildings. Therefore it is necessary to develop unit module construction method for freeform facade.

Coastal village and Inland village was village in jeju. This study was cultural elements of stone to village in jeju. Memorial Stone and Stone Monument Street, Shrine, An altar of sarificial site for village tutelary spirits, Bangsatap(pagoda), 25 Bongsu(25 beacon fire stations) and 38 Yeondae(38 signaling sites), Hwanhaejangseong Fortress, Grave wall and Horse pasture walls were included in elements of history and culture to village in jeju. An altar of sarificial rite for village tutelary spirits was generally on the a hill near a village, built of Stone wall. Bangsatap(pagoda) was the kind and the size of stone to a location, that expresses the form and the scale. the form of grave wall was the oval or the rectangle, the latter was frequent. Thatched houses in jeju and facilities in a house, Stone wall, Tongsi(pigsty), Paeng namu and A heights of stone, Spring water and Water collected in a depression, Stone Weir, Horse mill and Dodaebul(Old Lighthouse) were included in elements of life and culture to village in jeju. Stone wall has the multiplicity of the size and the building method in the use, the function and the region. The form of Stone weir was the rectangular figure or the curvilinear figure, the section of that was the right triangle or the rectangular form.
