Differential shortening of vertical members in high-rise buildings affect other structural members that have to be considered such as horizontal members and exterior cladding. of many elements which affect the total amount of shortening, different loading history mainly comes from the different construction time. Shortening of 66 story concrete columns were investigated and compared according to the different construction time, little difference was found between the total shortening of interior and that of exterior column.

Construction duration is very important as a factor which comprises three axises of construction management with quality and cost in construction project. In general project condition, construction duration is optimized while minimizing construction cost and securing required quality. However, in case of insufficient project time duration or delayed projects, project progress management is different from those of normal projects. These project areas need solutions to complete work within a given completion day. To time shortening the current duration of each typical floor of structural framework in apartment construction is investigated, and a basic time schedule planning for typical floor of structural framework in normal projects is planned. This study proposed 3 ways for time shortening of urgent project or insufficient construction duration project. Also, This study proposed detailed time shortening method and technical solution conditions while time is shortened.

Construction duration in construction project is an important factor which affects project cost. Advanced countries have reduced project cost by time shortening. Even though domestic construction companies have tried to time shortening, they yet failed to find systematic method for time shortening. Typically, duration of structural framework is affected by stripping time of form. Therefore, it need to shorten the stripping time of form for time shortening of structural framework. In this study, specimens of high-early-strength concrete were manufactured with variety conditions and compressive strength was tested. This study proposed stripping time of side and slab forms using test results. The stripping time of form was shortened when using high-early-strength concrete in structural framework by the test results. The result of this study will be useful for time shortening of structural framework.

To evaluate the effect of frying times on the oxidative stability of soybean oil and shortening, they were reused up to 10 times and measured by thiobarbituric acid(TBA) value, acid value(AV), peroxide value(POV) and sensory evaluation. As the reusing time was increased, TBA value of "battered pork" fried with shortening showed more sharply increased than that with soybean oil, while the value of shortening, itself, showed more decreased than that of soybean oil. In frying fat, AV and POV increased with the increase of reusing times. Compared with soybean oil, shortening had rapidly increased for POV as reusing time was increased. Among the sensory analyses TBA of "battered pork" with soybean oil and shortening exhibited the highest correlation with flavor and texture, respectively. For the "batgtered pork" fried with soybean oil and shortening, reusing shelf-lives predicted were approximately 9 and 8 times, respectively.

The construction duration in apartment construction is an important factor which affects project cost. Henceforth, the time shortening is essential to retrench project cost and project risk when there adopt Five-Day Workweek and introduce apartment sales after completion of construction. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine closely the affecting factors on the duration of framework which forms about $40\sim50\$ percent of total time in apartment construction by analyzing the schedule mechanism of typical floor and to show the reasonable time shortening methods by case study. The shown schedule mechanism and basic schedule table can utilize as a guideline in case of scheduling of framework in the existing construction method. Also, the shown time shortening methods by three case studies will guide the direction and process of time shortening while there need time shortening in many-sided projects.

A new method is used to record the actual shortening produced during the auxotonic activity of the sartorius (SAR), gastrocnemius (CAS) and rectus abdominis (RAB) muscles of a lizard Uromastix. The auxotonic twitch and tetanus records thus obtained were used for the first time to calculate the coefficient of linear shortening (COLS). This coefficient represent the relative Index between change in length $(\Delta\;L=L_0-L_1)$ and tension $({\Delta}P\;P_0-P_1)$ due to shortening at the steepest rising phase of the twitch and tetanus, recorded at resting length. In addition to this, maximum shortening $(S_{max})$ and auxotonic tensions were also determined at resting lengths of these muscles. The COLS was found to express the speed of shortening and auxotonic tensions are suggested to be of value to express the internal architecture of SAR, GAS & RAB muscles. The results are discussed in terms of contractile and elastic elements of the muscles alongwith the importance of shortening at resting lengths in skeletal muscles.

Special consideration should be given to differential column shortening during the design and construction of a tall building to mitigate the adverse effects caused by such shortening. The effects of the outrigger - which is conventionally used to increase the lateral stiffness of a tall building - on the differential shortening are investigated in this study. Three analysis models, a constant-section, constant-stress, and general model, are prepared, and the differential shortenings of these models with and without the outrigger are compared. The effects of connection time, sectional area, and location of the outrigger on the differential shortening are studied. The sectional area of the outrigger shows a non-linear relation in reducing the maximum differential shortening. The optimum locations of the single and dual outriggers are investigated by an exhaustive search method, and it is confirmed that a global optimum location exists. This study shows that the outrigger can be utilized to reduce the differential shortening between the interior core wall and the perimeter columns as well as to reduce the lateral displacements due to wind or earthquake loads.

In this paper, we propose mitigation techniques using time-domain shortening filter (TSF) and frequency-domain shortening filter (FSF) to overcome inter-block interference (IBn and inter-carrier interference (ICn due to the time difference of arrival (TDoA) and carrier frequency offset (CFO) between downlink and uplink signals from access point (AP) and subscriber station (SS) in synchronous digital duplexing (SDD)/orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems for indoor wireless communication. The proposed TSF and FSF maximize SIR for shortening in time (SIRST) and SINR for shortening in frequency (SINRSF), respectively, by using channel impulse responses and timing information among stations, obtained from mutual ranging procedure. It is verified by computer simulation that the proposed TSF and FSF reduce effectively the effects of IBI and ICI in the SDD/OFDMA systems.

Long-term axial shortening of the vertical elements of tail buildings results in differential movements between two elements and may lead to the additional moments of connection beam and slab elements, and other secondary effects, such as cracks of partitions or curtain walls. Accurate prediction of time-dependent column shortening is essential for tall buildings from both strength and serviceability aspects. The compensation method is different from reinforced concrete and SRC(Steel Reinforced Concrete) members. The SRC columns are usually compensated according to total differential shortening between two vertical elements. In this study, column shortenings of 37-story W building under construction are predicted and compensated. The SRC column shortenings are compared with the actual column shortening by field measurement and the column shortenings are reanalysed and recompensated.

The prediction of time-dependent column shortening is essential for tall buildings considering both strength and serviceability aspects. The Column shortening of tall buildings with transfer floor should be calculated considering the long-term deflection of transfer girder. In this study, both the column shortening and the deflection of transfer girder of 45-story tall concrete building are predicted. The column shortening considering deflection of transfer girder are compared with the actual column shortening by field measurement.
