The new method for evaluating the displacement tolerance of sky-bridges with pin-roller type supports was proposed considering both return period of phase difference between connected buildings and geometrical characteristics of skybridge. Because displacement tolerance is relative value, which is most affected by the phase difference of the connected buildings, the dynamic response of these building with time history analysis should be evaluated. However, the initial phase could not be specified, so the result of displacement tolerance would be varied with respect to initial value. Thus, the tolerance can be reasonably evaluated SRSS calculation with design displacements based on statistical approach and of each building. In addition, the geometrical characteristics of sky-bridge should be considered because the transverse displacement of sky-bridge span causes the shear deformation of the bridge and longitudinal displacement tolerance cannot release the shear deformation. Therefore, the some pin-end support in sky-bridge should have longitudinal displacement tolerance to accommodate the shear deformation. By resolving this shear deformation, it is possible not only to accommodate transverse displacement, but also to avoid the complicated joint details such as both pot bearing and guided supports with shear key.

As the market for life friendly ICT (Information and Communication Technologies) services has grown up, high tech elevator with IoT (Internet of Things), a key area of the fourth industry, have become an indispensable part of life. Existing elevators are composed of up and down buttons to conveniently climb up and down high rise buildings, but there is a small inconvenience that everyone experiences depending on the characteristics of the user's composition, types of use, frequency, etc. Existing elevators are automatically closed if there are no people within the range of sensors, but they are inconvenient for the passengers with disabilities to carry luggage or to use. In this paper, the smart button, a hardware firmware device, was designed to relieve user inconvenience by opening the elevator for a certain period of time considering the boarding time of the passengers.

Buildings with glass curtain walls have become popular due to their appealing aesthetics and ability to let in natural light. However, light reflection from the glass surface is unavoidable in these buildings. In particular, the reflection of light from the glass envelope can create afterimage glare, a hazard to nearby drivers and pedestrians. Despite this potential danger, glare from buildings with curtain walls has not been well-studied. Hence, we analyzed the effect of light reflection on glare around a glass-enclosed skyscraper, depending on its surface reflectance. We investigated the potential hazard of glare to drivers using a commercially available software program. The results indicate that the direction of light reflection is distinctive when the incident angle of solar light increases. Moreover, this light reflection is high enough to induce an afterimage to drivers and pedestrians near the building. We found that keeping the reflectance of the building surface under 3% is required to minimize the afterimage hazard to drivers. Consequently, we recommend managing glass reflectance and installing additional traffic safety systems to reduce traffic accidents near curtain wall buildings.

In this paper, the dynamic response was analyzed by performing linear dynamic analysis using historic earthquake loads on twisted-shaped structures and fixed structure among free-form high-rise structures with atypical elevation shape following prior studies. In addition, the dynamic characteristics of the analysis models according to the plane rotation angle of the twisted structure were compared and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, as the plane rotation angle of the twisted structure increased, the interlayer deformation rate increased in the high-rise part of 50th floors or more. The story shear force and the story absolute acceleration were similar in the entire structure. In the case of the story shear force, the response of the twisted shape model was rather reduced in the middle part. As a result of analyzing the dynamic response, the vulnerable layer where the response amplification of the twisted structure occurs was found to be 31st story.

고층빌딩, 지하역사와 같은 대형 복합건물은 건물 자체의 복합도 증가와 더불어 이에 따른 위험요소(hazard)의 증가를 가져오고 위험상황에 대처해야 할 소방관들의 대응기술 및 훈련도 고도화되어야 한다. 실제 화재현장, 특히 대형 복합건물에 대한 훈련은 비용, 시간뿐만 아니라 소방관 안전 확보라는 차원에서 불가능하며 반복적인 훈련이나 그 평가가 어렵다는 점에서 가상환경을 이용한 훈련 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 복합건물에 대한 소방관 팀 훈련 시스템 구현을 위한 가상환경의 설계 및 구현을 소개하고자 한다. 가상환경은 소방관의 훈련 및 평가, 팀 단위훈련을 제공하고 현실감 있는 훈련을 위하여 가상현실, 증강현실, 물리체험 모듈을 이용한 사용자 인터페이스를 제공한다. 가상환경 구축을 위하여 대상 건축물에 대한 3 차원 모델을 구축하고 도출된 발생 가능한 화재 시나리오에 대한 수치적 모델링을 수행하고 그 결과를 가상환경 및 훈련 시나리오에 반영하였다.

Recently, the construction of tall buildings utilized by high strength-concrete in the whole world is tending to be on the rise. The application of high-rise structural system in buildings results in the excellent cut-down effect in construction materials due to section reduction. Therefore, in order to investigate the CO₂ and resource reduction effect for the high-rise structural system, comparisons of GWP and ADP in embodied energy of structural materlais between 4 type of high-rise structural system have been performed. As a result, GWP emission increased in the order of steel structure outrigger system, RC shear wall system, and RC outrigger system. On the other hand, ADP emissions increased in the order of RC shear wall system, RC outrigger system, and steel structure outrigger system.

In Korea, starting with the Busan residential-commercial fire in 2010, the frequency of fire expansion in high-rise buildings has been continuously increasing. In the case of such large-scale fires, most of the fires generated from the inside tend to expand to the upper floors by riding the exterior material or exterior wall panels through the process of being ejected to the outside. It has been revised so that combustible exterior materials cannot be used in buildings. However, due to the legal fluoride level, the fire risk of high-rise buildings is still high, such as the case of a 33-story residential-commercial fire in Ulsan. In order to prevent such fire expansion, it is considered that it is necessary to first understand the nature of the fire occurring inside and the mechanism of the fire expansion in the upper floor. The purpose of this study is to propose improvements in domestic fire safety design through a review of existing literature to prevent fire expansion of high-rise buildings.

As buildings in South Korea become more skyscrapers, the risk of fire is also emerging. Thus, regulations, regulations, and guidelines are being improved to prevent the spread of smoke in the event of a fire in high-rise buildings, but research on smoke flow and pressure distribution in vertical spaces is insufficient. Therefore, in this study, the temperature of each floor in the vertical space according to the size of the fire is measured through the miniature model experiment, and the pressure difference is calculated to establish the basic data for the improvement of the performance of domestic air supply facilities in the future. Thus, a scale model of one-sixth the size of the actual building was produced to measure the temperature, and the pressure difference was derived by substituting the value for the expression. The pressure difference varies depending on the size of the cause of the fire, and it is believed that the differential pressure and conditions of the building should be taken into account before calculating the supply volume for the analysis of the pressure difference according to the size of the cause of the fire in the event of fire.

본 논문에서는 우리나라 2030년 국가 온실가스 감축목표(NDC*, 291백만톤 감축)달성 및 2050년 탄소중립 목표 달성을 위해 필연적으로 수반되는 천연가스 내 수소 혼입에 따른 안전성확보 방안과 수소혼입에 따른 국민 불안감 해소 및 수용성 제고를 위한 대안을 제시하고, 해외 사례를 연구 하였다. 탄소중립은 온실가스(이산화탄소 등)의 배출량을 최대한 줄이고, 남은 온실가스를 흡수, 제거해서 실질적인 배출량이 "0"이 되는 것을 의미하고, 수소혼입은 도시가스의 주성분인 메탄 연소시 발생하는 CO₂를 최소화하기 위해 수소(H₂)를 도시가스에 일정비율 혼합하는 것을 말한다. 본 연구에서는 수소 혼입 시 우려되는 수소취성 및 배관내구성 문제와 수소 특성인 작은 입자로 인한 누출 위험성, 고층에서 메탄과 수소가 분리되는 현상 등에 따른 문제를 도출하고 이에 대한 안전관리 방안도 함께 제시하였다. 또한, 도시가스 배관에 수소 혼입시 천연가스 대체를 통한 온실가스 감축 및 기존 배관망 사용을 통한 경제성 분석결과와 국가 온실가스 감축에 어느 정도 기영할 수 있는지도 함께 기술하였다.

The advantages of composite construction are now well understood in terms of structural economy, good performance in service, and ease of construction. However, these conventional composite construction systems have some problems in application to steel framed buildings due to their large depth. So, in this study we executed an experimental test with the "Slim Floor"system which could reduce the overall depth of composite beam. Slim Floor system is a method of steel frame multi-story building construction in which the structural depth of each floor is minimized by incorporating the steel floor beams within the depth of the concrete floor slab. Presented herein is an experimental study that focuses on the flexural behaviour of the partially connected slim floor system with asymmetric steel beams encased in composite concrete slabs. Eight full-scale specimens were constructed and tested in this study with different steel beam height, slab width, with or without shear connection and concrete topping thickness. Observations from experiments indicated that the degree of shear connection without additional shear connection was $0.53{\sim}0.95$ times that of the full shear connection due to inherent mechnical and chemical bond stress.
