Compared with buildings that have already been constructed, buildings under construction may be more vulnerable to such natural disasters as earthquakes because the concrete strength is not yet sufficient. Currently, Korean design standards present minimum performance targets for each seismic grade of buildings, but the seismic load for design is based on a return period of 2400 years. However, because the construction period of the building is much shorter than the period of use of the building, the application of the earthquake return period of 2400 years to buildings under construction may be excessive. Therefore, in this study, a construction stage model of buildings with 5, 15, 25, and 60 floors was created to analyze earthquake loads during construction of residential reinforced concrete (RC) buildings. The structural stability was confirmed by applying reduced seismic loads according to the return period. As a result, the structural stability was checked for an earthquake of the return period selected according to the construction period, and the earthquake return period that can secure structural safety according to the size of the building was confirmed.

High-rise residential buildings these days tend to adopt a building frame system as primary earthquake resisting structural system for some architectural reasons. But there exist several ambiguities in designing such building frame systems according to current codes with regards to : the effective stiffness property of RC cracked section in static and dynamic analyses, analytical model to evaluate story drift ratio, and deformation compatibility requirements of frames. The comparative study for these issues by appling KBC 2005 to a typical building frame system shows that demands of member strength and story drift ratio can be different significantly depending on engineer's Interpretation and application of code requirements. And a building frame system can be noneconomical, compared with the dual system, because of higher demands on strength or ductility in both frames and shear walls.

Recently, the high-strength steel of 400~600MPa tensile strength is producing in the country. Use of high-strength steel member in the design of high-rise buildings is expected to increase the efficiency of structural design in the aspect of structure material weight and cost, however it has been used only a narrow extent. No efficient design method to use high-strength steel in the design of high-rise buildings has been developed. Therefore, in this study structural cost optimization technique that can minimize the structural material cost of high-rise buildings using high-strength steels is developed. The efficiency of the technique is evaluated by comparing the experience-based design for 6 high-rise building examples. As a result, the proposed techniques can save 7~21% of structural material cost compared with experienced-based design. And also, the rough guideline for effective use of high-strength steels in the structural design of high-rise buildings is introduced on the basis of results.

Since progressive collapse of tall buildings can cause enormous damage, it should be considered during the design phase of tall buildings. The progressive collapse analysis of tall buildings using finite element methods is almost impossible due to the vast amount of computing time. In this paper, applied element method was evaluated as an alternative to the finite element method. Reduced DOFs modeling technique was proposed to enable the progressive collapse analysis of tall buildings. The reduced DOFs model include only the part which is subjected to direct damage from blast load and the structural properties such as mass, transferred load and stiffness of excluded parts are accumulated into the top story of the reduced DOFs model. The proposed modeling technique was applied to the progressive collapse analysis of 20-story RC building using three collapse scenarios. The reduced DOFs model showed similar collapse behavior to the whole model while the computing time was reduced by 30%. The proposed modeling technique can be utilized in the progressive collapse analysis of tall buildings due to abnormal loads.

This paper summarizes a study on the application of viscoelastic dampers as an energy dissipation device in the frame structure. It can be concluded that, even at high temperatures, the viscoelastically damped structure can achieve a significant reduction of structural response as compared to the case with no dampers added. Empirical formulae for estimating the dynamic properties of the viscoelastic damper are established based on the regression analysis using data obtained from component tests of the damper. The structural damping with added dampers can be satisfactorily estimated by the modal strain energy method and the derived empirical formulae. Numerical simulations using conventional modal analysis methods are also carried out to predict the dynamic response of viscoelastically damped structures under seismic excitations. Comparison between numerical simulations and test results shows very good agreement. Based on the above studies, a design procedure for viscoelastically damped structures is present . This design procedure fits naturally into the conventional structural design flow-chart by including damping ratio an additional design parameter.

For the proper utilization of daylight in a building, an architect should be able to utilize the building enveloped as a filter to admit daylight into the building. The daylighting concepts commonly used in buildings are categorized as sidelighting, toplighting and atrium, and their lighting concepts and characteristics are discussed. The decision of the daylighting concepts for a building should be based on the analysis of the quantity, characteristics and directionality of daylight, and resulting contrast effect.

격납건물의 내압취약도 평가를 위하여 격납건물 구조재료 변수 각각의 재료특성 시험 결과를 분석하여 현재상태 중앙값 및 변동계수 값을 추정하였다. 추정된 값은 최근의 가동중 검사 결과와 큰 차이를 보이지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 추출된 구조재료 변수들의 재조합을 통해 상관성을 배제시키는 방법을 적용함으로서, 변수 간의 상관성이 격납건물 취약도 평가에 미치는 영향을 기존의 방법과 대비하여 분석하였다. 본 예제의 경우에는 의도치 않은 변수간 상관성에 의해 2%가량 내압성능이 작게 평가되는 결과가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 일반적인 문제의 경우 구조재료 변수의 특성과 추출된 변수의 임의성에 의해 영향이 증폭될 수 있기 때문에, 보다 합리적인 내압취약도 평가를 위해서는 상관관계 영향을 고려하는 것이 바람직하다고 할 수 있다.

면진기술은 주로 저층 구조물의 내진설계에서 적용되는 방법으로 건물과 기초사이에 면진장치를 설치하여 상부로 전달되는 지진하중을 효과적으로 감소시킨다. 그러나 이 방법은 중.고층 구조물에 그대로 적용하기에는 여러 가지 기술적 문제가 따르므로, 구보물의 중간층 일부를 분리시켜 상부로 전달되는 지진력을 감소시킬 수 있을 것이다. 본 노문에서는 저층 뿐만 아니라, 중.고층 정형구조물의 주상복합건물과 같은 비정형 구조물에 대하여 구조물의 중간층 일부를 비선형 면진장치로 면진시키고 그 효과를 분석하였다. 이러한 중간층 면진 구조물의 경우, 고정기초 구조물에 비하여 적은 층간변위나 층전단력이 발생하였으며, 특히 주상복합건물에서 상당한 효과를 볼 수 있었다.

최근 유비쿼터스 시대를 맞아 건설 분야에서 이용되는 CAD 자료에서 GIS 자료로의 변환 및 융복합에 대한 요구가 증대되면서 상호변환을 위한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 건설도면 CAD 데이터를 활용하여 수치지도의 건물데이터를 수정, 갱신하기 위한 방법론의 일환으로 건설도면의 건물외곽선을 추출하여 수치지도의 건물데이터 수준으로 일반화하는 선형 단순화 알고리즘을 비교 분석하였다. 선형 단순화 알고리즘은 Douglas-Peucker 알고리즘, Lang 알고리즘, Reumann-Witkam, Opheim 알고리즘을 적용하였으며 분석방법으로는 시각적 분석, 절점 수, 총길이, 면적 변화율 분석 그리고 각 절점이 수치지도 작성내규를 만족하는 비율을 이용하였다. 분석 결과 Douglas-Peycker 알고리즘이 시각적 측면과 절점 수 감소율 측면에서 상대적으로 우수한 단순화 결과를 보여주었으나 수치지도 작성내규 만족도 측면에서는 공통적으로 $50{\sim}60%$ 수준의 만족도를 보이고 있어 국내의 수치지도의 건물데이터를 작성하기 위한 단순화 기법으로는 한계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며 이를 만족시키기 위한 일반화 알고리즘의 개발이 필요하다고 판단된다.
