Beginning in the late 19th century, construction of skyscrapers spread throughout Chicago, New York City, and then the world as demand of space in buildings and increase of cost of land. With this change curtain wall systems have evolved to be more visually complex; these unique profiles of the skyscraper became powerful images and symbols of our cities. A curtain wall is defined as usually aluminum-framed wall containing in-fills of glass and metal panels. The framing is attached to the building structure and does not carry the floor or roof loads of the building.

This paper describes the structural analysis result and load test result of accident EMU(Electric Multiple Units). Structural analysis and load test of EMU were performed for the criteria of safety assessment. Structural analysis using commercial I-DEAS software provided important information on the stress distribution and load transfer mechanisms as well as the amount of damages during rolling stock crash. The purpose of the load test is to evaluate a safety which carbody structure shall be considered fully sufficient rigidity so as to satisfy proper system function under maximum load and operating condition. The results have been used to provide the critical information for the criteria of safety assessment.

This study is aimed at grasping how the farmhouses in Yongdong area continues to be transfigured according to the modernization and urbanization since 8.15 Liberation through the analysis of natural environment and sociocultural environment elements. The farmhouses in Yongdong area before 1960's have had a different spatial structure from those of the other areas because of the characteristics of the climatic, regional, geographic and sociocultural environment elements. The roof improvement promoting law after 1967, the Saemaul Movement since 1971 and the standard drawing of farmhouse after 1972 are transfigured the rural villages, but they were turned up the limitations of their exploits because of the lack of cognition about environment elements. Recently there were appeared the farmhouses which were reflected farmer's decisions in construction after 1980's because former farmhouses were not give consideration to environment elements.

This study is aimed to analyze the spatial characteristics of folk house in 360 years historical village “Kolli”, Tongyeong city, and to provide basic materials for the study on the history of house in Korea. The survey was enforced at the July 21-22, 1998 firstly, and was enforced at the August 18-20, 2002 secondly. The major result are as follows; The most folk houses faced of north according to the factors of configuration of the ground and climates. The arrangement of house were laid out freely without definite types. The house form is hipped roof of slate and most ‘一’ shape of 3 bay structure.

The aluminum dome has been widely used in natatorium, oil storage tank, power plant, coal, as well as other industrial buildings and structures. However, few research has focused on the structural behavior and design method of this dome. At present, most designs of aluminum alloy domes have referred to theories and methods of steel spatial structures. However, aluminum domes and steel domes have many differences, such as elasticity moduli, roof structures, and joint rigidities, which make the design and analysis method of steel spatial structures not fully suitable for aluminum alloy dome structures. In this study, a stability analysis method, which can consider structural imperfection, member initial curvature, semi-rigid joint, and skin effect, was presented and used to study the stability behavior of aluminum dome structures. In addition, some meaningful conclusions were obtained, which could be used in future designs and analyses of aluminum domes.

Wind tunnel experiments on small scale groups of tanks are reported in the paper, with the aim of evaluating the pressure patterns due to group effects. A real tank configuration is studied in detail because one tank buckled during a hurricane category 3. Three configurations are studied in a wind tunnel, two with several tanks and different wind directions, and a third one with just one blocking tank. The pressures were measured in the cylindrical part and in the roof of the tank, in order to obtain pressure coefficients. Next, computational buckling analyses were carried out for the three configurations to evaluate the buckling pressure of the target structure. Finally, imperfection-sensitivity was investigated for one of the configurations, and moderate sensitivity was found, with reductions in the maximum load of the order of 25%. The results help to explain the buckling of the tank for the levels of wind experienced during the hurricane.

In this paper, we compare and assess the performance of the standard 3- and 6-node MITC shell elements (Lee and Bathe 2004) with the recently developed MITC triangular elements (Lee et al. 2014, Jeon et al. 2014, Jun et al. 2018) which were based on the partitions of unity approximation, bubble node, or both. The convergence behavior of the shell elements are measured in well-known benchmark tests; four plane stress tests (mesh distortion test, cantilever beam, Cook's skew beam, and MacNeal beam), two plate tests (Morley's skew plate and circular plate), and six shell tests (curved beam, twisted beam, pinched cylinder, hemispherical shells with or without hole, and Scordelis-Lo roof). To precisely compare and evaluate the solution accuracy of the shell elements, different triangular mesh patterns and distorted element mesh are adopted in the benchmark problems. All shell finite elements considered pass the basic tests; namely, the isotropy, the patch, and the zero energy mode tests.

This study aims to develop a current building condition database of an important folk culture village of South Korea considering their fire spread risk. We have selected a folk cultral village, and conducted field survey to reveal structure of buildings, materials of building wall, and roof style which make us understand current vulnerability of the village to fire spread. As a result, we made a current building condition database with map, which showed that the village had mixture of reinforced concrete and wood. Besides, we proposed a conceptual idea to prevent from large fire accident in the village.

The purpose of this study was to analyze and explain the formation and characteristics of wooden church architecture in Andong area from 1902 to 1975. Especially, I tried to find out the characteristic of wooden construction and the influence of typical form of Andong church architecture to the small church of nearby Andong rural area. This study was carried out the actual inspection of existing architecture through analysis.
