In line with the worldwide trend toward the protection of natural environment and economic concerns, the steel framed house is suggested for the next industrialized generatiov. In Korea, untrustworthiness of concrete structured apartment has led to the development of alternative building material and technology. POSCO has constructed the model steel house to assess the marketability of steel framed house in Korea. To collect basic data required to design the steel framed house suitable to Korean life pattern and housing needs, professional evaluation of model steel house was conducted. The goal of this study is to propose alternative plan and ideas on the interior space planning based upon the evaluation from women housing professionals. Our analysis reveals that the habitability of steel house is equal or superior to that of traditional houses. But in the interiior sapce planning, the certain aspects of steel houses is not suitable to Korean likfe style: the lack of storage space and utility space, inflexibility of plav. We conclude that given its cost efficiency and environmental concern, steel house has potential to take an important part in future Korean housing.

This study estimates steel house shear wall's seismic performance depending on trend of seismic design. As a result at cyclic-test, the capability of energy dissipation about X1SPCH during this test is good enough. The capability of energy dissipation of X3SPCH and X4SPCH was better than that of X1SPCH. The X2SPCH which is similar to real X-braced shear wall has better seismic performance than shear wall braced with structural sheathing materials on pseudo-dynamic test.

This paper presents the test results and evaluations for the energy dissipation capacity and compressive performance of light-weight hybrid panels. A total of 26 full-scale specimens of light-weight hybrid panels were tested. The parameters include the presence of light-weight foamed mortar, the specific gravity of light-weight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the finishing materials (light-weight foamed mortar, OSB [Oriented Strand Board], gypsum board), the shape of bracing (x, ~), and the size of panels (1P-900 mm 2,400 mm, 2P-1,800 mm 2,400 mm). The results of the cyclic tests are somewhat different from those of monotonic tests, due to the different specific gravity of light-weight foamed mortar. It was found from the compressive tests that the ultimate strength and initial stiffness are increased by means of light-weight foamed mortar (2~2.5 times in ultimate strength and 2~3 times in initial stiffness).

This paper presents the test and evaluation results on the shear strength and stiffness of a light steel stud wall from a lightweight foamed mortar (lightweight hybrid wall). The use of a lightweight foamed mortar was aimed at improving structural performance, thermal performance, and finish. Studiesshowed that it did not affect thermal performance, but it contributed to structural performance and finish when the unit weight was more than 0.8 (Editor's note: Please indicate the unit of measurement.). In this study, 14 specimens-whose parameters included the specific gravity of the lightweight foamed mortar (0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2), the spacing of the stud (450 mm, 600 mm, or 900 mm), finishing materials (such as lightweight foamed mortar, OSB, and gypsum board), and bracing-were manufactured. Three typical, steel house-framing specimens were added to compare the test results with the 14 specimens. The results of in-plane shear tests show that the use of lightweight foamed mortar (1.15~5.38 times stronger, 1.45~13.7 times stiffer) results in ultimate strength and initial stiffness. In addition, it was possible to widen the stud spacing to up to 900 mm without decreasing shear strength. It was very important to prevent the lightweight foamed mortar from shrinking and to secure the adhesion between the steel stud and the lightweight foamed mortar to improve structural performance.

LGSF Housing의 설계는 기존의 2*4 목조주택의 설계방법을 그대로 수용하되 박판의 강재를 사용한다는 특성에 따라 부재의 좌굴특성을 고려하는 점에서 큰 차이가 있다고 볼 수 있다. 따라서 부재의 허용내력은 부재의 형상에 따라 그 좌굴모드가 결정되고 각 모드 중 최소의 값이 부재의 최종 허용내력으로 결정된다. 이와 같은 성상을 살펴볼 때 LGSF Housing은 사용되는 자재의 단면형상 개발에 따라 그 내력의 증진을 기대할 수 있으며, 이에 대한 연구의 필요성이 크다고 볼 수 있다. 또한, 스틸하우스는 공장에서 제작된 스터드의 현장조립에 의하여 시공되므로 이들 부재간의 접합방법에 큰 영향을 받게 된다. 기존 외국의 시공사례를 살펴보면 부재간의 접합은 주로 핸드건 등에 의한 스크류를 사용한 접합방법이 이용된다. 따라서, 이러한 접합방법의 내력평가방법도 해결되어야 할 문제점으로 볼 수 있다. 이러한 제반 문제점 등이 해결된다면 LGSF Housing은 건설공기의 단축을 기할 수 있고, 시공의 신속.편리성을 도모할 수 있으며, 자원의 재활용이 가능하고 향후 벽체 패널의 공장생산 등을 통한 공업화 건축이 가능하다는 점 등을 고려할 때 국내 저층구조물의 설계에 새로운 방향을 제시할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Because the framed wall system using steel studs and runners with square steel tubes as structural elements is reinforced by the horizontal members called runners, it has more strength and load bearing capacity than the steel house wall system. Also, this system improves adiabatic and sound insulation performance by filling up the autoclaved lightweight concrete. We need to evaluate load bearing capacity according to the axial load and lateral load in case this system is applied in the housing system with 3~5 stories through variations in intervals for the runners under the placement effect of autoclaved lightweight concrete. Therefore, this study seeks to analyze axial and shear behavior of the framed wall system according to the placement effect of autoclaved lightweight concrete, and to secure safety for the vertical and lateral loads.

Cold-formed steel studs that are being used as load-bearing members of wall panels for steel houses have a problem with their insulation due to the heat bridging of their web. Some additional thermal insulating materials should be used. To solve this problem, the new-concept hybrid stud, which consists of a galvanized steel sheet (t = 1.0 m - 12.0 m) and a GFRP panel (t = 4.0-6.0 mm), has recently been developed. An investigation on the structural behavior and the strength capacity of this new hybrid stud has been conducted so that it can be used in load-bearing wall panels of residential buildings. This paper describes the axial compression-torsion test results of the hybrid studs under both axial compression and torsion using ATTM. The main factors of the test were the stud length, the magnitude of the initial compressive force, and the loading method of the monotonic or cyclic loading. The torsion was applied increasingly while the initial compression was kept constant to the failure of the hybrid section. The advanced analysis results obtained form the finite element procedure that considered the material properties of the high-strength galvanized steel and the GFRP were compared with the test results for verification.
