  • An arbitrary representation of an urban drainage sewer system was devised using a geographic information system (GIS) tool in order to calculate the surface and subsurface flow interaction for simulating urban flood. The proposed methodology is a mean to supplement the unavailability of systematized drainage system using high-resolution digital elevation(DEM) data in under-developed countries. A modified DEM was also developed to represent the flood propagation through buildings and road system from digital surface models (DSM) and barely visible streams in digital terrain models (DTM). The manhole, sewer pipe and storm drain parameters are obtained through field validation and followed the guidelines from the Plumbing law of the Philippines. The flow discharge from surface to the devised sewer pipes through the storm drains are calculated. The resulting flood simulation using the modified DEM was validated using the observed flood inundation during a rainfall event. The proposed methodology for constructing a hypothetical drainage system allows parameter adjustments such as size, elevation, location, slope, etc. which permits the flood depth prediction for variable factors the Plumbing law. The research can therefore be employed to simulate urban flood forecasts that can be utilized from traffic advisories to early warning procedures during extreme rainfall events.

  • This paper is an experimental study on the freezing protection valve used for solar water heating, air-conditioning systems, and plumbing systems. When the phase change occurs from liquid to solid, most of the substances except water volumetrically shrink. And referred to as PCM(Phase Change Material) a substance with such properties, the phase change temperature varies depending on the material. To prevent the freezing of the plumbing system, such as air-conditioning system in the winter season, we developed a several types of freezing protection valve using PCM whose freezing temperature are $2-4^{\circ}C$. The working principle of the freezing protection valve is that the fluid inside the pipe is released to prevent the system-collapse when fluid temperature reaches the freezing temperature of the PCM. And then the valve is closed and returned to the original position automatically when the temperature of the operating fluid rises. In this paper, the operating temperatures, discharge flow rate and the response characteristics of the valve during the operation are tested and investigated. From the results of this research the freezing protection valves employing PCM are expected to be commercialized in the near future.

  • With the current rapid changes in population and technology, the long-lastig housing certification system is a means of prolonging the physical and functional lifespan of a building. The certification requires differentiation between the structure and infill elements to allow for variability and ease of repairs. This works well with prefabricated houses so this study investigated the possibility of applying the long-lastig housing certification requirements to apartment construction using off-site construction (OSC) methods focused on the installation of bathrooms (plumbing and toilet) that differ from the traditional wet method. This study examined three different sized floor plans at 22 m2, 46 m2, and a combined one resulting in 69 m2. The larger 69 m2 plan utilized a removeable non-load bearing wall to increase flexibility in the layout of the floorplan. The apartments are constructed of steel reinforced concrete composite columns on a 9 m × 10.5 m grid with integrated slabs. The exterior and interior infill walls are all non-load bearing with some containing plumbing. This separation of the structure and infill walls can help meet some of the criteria in the long-lastig housing certification, particularly with the ease of repairs. Technologies that facilitate the replacement of infill elements that contain plumbing and other building services can benefit the nation by reducing carbon emissions and therefore tax incentives should be introduced to increase the adoption of the proposed construction methods.

  • Plumbing of the plant project is an important discipline. Now workers on the construction site, carry hundreds of piping spool drawings and documents, record the Spool Stage data. Then, The data is input into the system or has been documented in the field office. Because of the work-flow, duplication work occurs. As a result, it is reducing the effectiveness of the Plumbing and causes schedule delays. Also, To manage the integration process, there is a problem, it takes a lot of time. Therefore, The study is conducted to design and implementation of piping spool management Android Application using QR Code. The Application will contribute to the management to the integration of piping work process.

  • This research was conducted using a model home plumbing system composed of copper, stainless steel, galvanized iron, carbon steel, and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe. The number of bacteria present in stainless steel pipe and PVC was higher than other pipes. High turbidity and zinc release were found in galvanized iron pipe material and detected during the first 6 months. Conversely, there was a decrease in turbidity and zinc release after 6 months resulting in levels similar to other pipes. Copper concentration decreased as operation times increased. In this experiment, the number of bacteria detected in biofilm for a copper pipe continued to increase. Pipe material influenced bacterial numbers in biofilm and water. This showed that elevated chlorine could not control bacterial growth in biofilm for galvanized iron and stainless steel systems. It also suggested that the dosing of chlorine might not be available for all kinds of pipes. Therefore, another complementary method should be introduced to manage biofilm effectively in water distribution systems.

  • The study was performed as reduction plan on drainage noise in a toilet, which of noise in plumbing systems was being indicated the major point at issue in apartment houses. The reduction plan is four items, which are water closet, isolating system for the base of water closet, low noise drainpipe, and a ceiling tex. Through the result of experiment, it was showed that noise reduction is about 9dB(A) within a toilet and above 5dB(A) in a bedroom.
