This study is about occurrence pattern of vacant spaces as a urban decline indicator to consider a decline of old hillside residential area from spatial structure perspective. For investigation based upon vacant space and the street structure, this study selects Ami Chojang-dong in Seo-gu, Busan, of which 79.7% of total area is over a gradient of $10^{\circ}$. Focused on relationship between occurrence pattern of vacant spaces and 'vertical alleys(link)' serving as main movement path of local residents in hillside residential area, the length, numbers, slopes, and use characteristic of vertical alleys were analyzed using Arc GIS 9.3 program to classify characteristic zone types of spacial structure in hillside residential area. After the occurrence pattern of vacant space are interpreted in relation with building density, vertical alleys' number length slope, the social and economic issues have been considered as well. After analyzing the occurrence pattern of vacant space, this study argues that the occurrence pattern of vacant space in old hillside residential area is rather affected by street structure system consisting of vertical alleys than the impacts of social economical issues.

Noise and vibration induced by subway operation are one of the major factor that annoy residents living near the subway tracks. In general, lateral vibration is the major concern when we are considering vibration of a building. However, the vertical vibration is the major concern in considering the vibration induced by the subway operation. Analysis model for the vertical vibration of the structure should consider the effect of beam vibration. Thus, the same model used for the lateral vibration analysis can not be used for an analysis of vertical vibration of the structure. Appropriate analysis model which can consider the inertia force of the beam is necessary when analyzing a structure for the vertical vibration. Modeling technique for the vertical vibration analysis of structures has been studied on this paper. It is recommended to use one or more elements for columns and to use two or more elements for beams when analyzing structures for vertical vibration induced by subway operation.

We propose a high-transmittance multi-domain vertical alignment liquid crystal device with a protrusion structure. Disclination lines, which inevitably appear at the boundaries of domains in a multi-domain structure, can be reduced by adding a protrusion structure on the top substrate. The transmittance was improved by 11% using the proposed structure with no change of either the dark state or the operating voltage.

This paper presents a method for assessing the dynamic responses of gravity-based structures (GBS) under various seismic loads, with a focus on fluid-structure-ground interactions. Models of GBSs and their surrounding environments were developed, incorporating interaction effects among the structure, seawater, and seabed. Dynamic responses of the GBS subjected to three seismic loads-Chi-Chi, Northridge01, and Northridge02-were calculated, with consideration of both horizontal and vertical accelerations, as well as displacements. Parametric studies indicated that the primary factors affecting the dynamic responses of GBS were seismic loads characterized by significant input forces and accelerations. The frictional force on the ground had minimal impact on the horizontal and vertical displacements of the GBS. Weight emerged as a critical factor in anchoring the GBS to the ground and minimizing vertical accelerations and displacements.

To illusσ'ate the variation of current around artificial upwelling structure which is located in the South sea of Korea, current measurements using ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) during neap and spring tides were carried out on 27th July(summer)， 14th October and 30th November(Autumn), 2006. Current after the set up of artificial upwelling structure were shown different in the upper and lower layer, the boundary between the upper and lower layer was at $27{\sim}30m$ depth in summer. And the boundary layer was formed structure of three layer in Autumn. Upwelling and downwelling flow were occurred around the seamount， and these vertical flows were connected from surface to bottom The distribution of vertical shear and relative vorticity support the vertical flow around the seamount. The strength of vertical shear was higher and the direction of relative vorticity was anticlockwise (+) around the upwelling area.

The determination of the fundamental period of vibration of a structure is essential to earthquake design. Current codes provide formulas for the approximate estimation of the fundamental period of earthquake-resistant building systems. These formulas are dependent only on the height of the structure or number of storeys without taking into account the presence of infill walls into the structure, despite the fact that infill walls increase the stiffness and mass of the structure leading to significant changes in the fundamental period. Furthermore, such a formulation is overly conservative and unable to account for structures with geometric irregularities. In this study, which comprises the companion paper of previous published research by the authors, the effect of the vertical geometric irregularities on the fundamental periods of masonry infilled structures has been investigated, through a large set of infilled frame structure cases. Based on these results, an attempt to quantify the reduction of the fundamental period due to the vertical geometric irregularities has been made through a proposal of properly reduction factor.

As a part of the research on existing structures of private homes from Joseon Era. Focusing on one hundred twenty five-purlin houses, the current study investigated the features and characteristics of the house structure from style, size, proportion and roof pitch, and measurements of key parts, and developed the following conclusions. Most are single-houses (89, 83%), and among them, there are 47 single front-terrace houses (39%), which is the highest number. The sizes of lower house structure do not differ greatly depending on the vertical structure, and single rear terrace house and double-house have relatively larger side sizes. The size of upper structure is larger in double-houses compared to other vertical structures, indicating a relatively higher roof. The cross-section measurement of major parts show that double-houses are larger than single-houses by 3cm in pillar, 3-4.5cm in crossbeam length, and 4.5cm in crossbeam width. However, Janghyeo width was consistent at 7.5 to 10.5cm, maintaining uniformity regardless of vertical structure of the houses. In addition, the cross-section measurements decreased from sixteenth to nineteenth century, with the size of pillar size decreasing the most. The result that the Janghyeo width is not related to the house structure house confirmed that the Janghyeo width was kept consistent regardless of the size of the house structure.

The structural behaviors of a arch composed of flexible membrane are investigated. The membrane is considered as thin shell with internal pressure during FEM analysis by using ABAQUS. In the paper, a wind load and uniformly distributed vertical load are considered. As a vertical load, snow loads including applied over all and half of the structure are introduced. The ends of arch are fixed to the ground. Load-Deflections relationship, buckling mode of the structure are presented.

In this paper, we propose IBS(ITO-BUS Separated) electrode structure. BUS electrode lines are placed apart from the ITO electrode lines, and they are electrically connected with vertical auxiliary electrodes. We varied the lengths of the vertical electrodes as 70, 120, 320um. The highest luminous efficiency and the largest IR emission peak were obtained for 70um length.

A $50{\times}50{\mu}m^2$ aluminum micromirror array is fabricated using surface micromachining technology. $50{\times}50$ micromirrors are arrayed two dimensionally. The micromirror plate is supported by a vertical spring structure that is placed underneath the mirror plate. When the mirror plates reflect a light, the micromirror array un have large effective reflecting area. Fabrication of vertical spring uses only one mask and shadow evaporation process.
