The flow characteristics around the vertical wall with the flap were visualized in the water channel using PIV. And the effect of flap angle change was investigated to see how quickly the spreading can be prevented and confined if oil spill occurs at sea. As a result, the fluid in the front of the vertical wall flows constantly, Nearing a boundary layer on the vertical wall, and a flow separation phenomenon occurs. Thereafter, flow loss or depth loss to the bottom of the vertical wall was confirmed. Also, it was observed that irregular reverse circulation flow occurred due to flap angle change and pressure gradient at the back of vertical wall. In this study, it was analyzed that it is most effective at 20 degrees angle. In the future, it is necessary to confine the flow characteristics of PIV and CFD by assuming that there is a double vertical wall in which oil having a lower specific gravity than water is trapped in the oil fence.

There are vertical wall to prevent of circulation or pollution during building of ocean structures like a dam and bridge in the harbors area and the sea. Inflow fluid and base of structure are important thing as one of the structural design factors for this interception wall like a vertical wall and watertight wall. In this study, it is revealed that at least 2,000 instantaneous velocity field data are required for ensemble average to get reliable turbulence statistics. The flow behind of vertical wall was investigated using the PIV system from this study. From the results, the large vortex flow developed in recirculation zone for one row wall and two vortex flows developed over two rows. Scale of the vortices in recirculation zone was decreased to 45% over three rows.

In this study, the velocity distribution according to upper side coner shape of underwater construction with rectangular cylinder was measured with PIV method and the wake flow characteristics was considered. According to the coner shape, the flow pattern of wake flow was also differed greatly and the step-shaped coner of cut-off ratio B/H=0.06 was similar in the slope shape in result.

In this study, existing wall-type apartment in 1990s is evaluated by KBC2009. Based on structural calculation, seismic performance evaluation is performed with dynamic nonlinear analysis. After that, this building is extended up to three stories in vertical direction. In this study, the seismic performance evaluation results of wall-type apartment can be used in performance-based design of the vertical extension remodeling.
