In the steel structure of high-rise buildings, a connection analysisand a column design have been made after welding and bolting suitable gaps. Each country, however, has different codes, and such differences are very big. American steel has been designed according to a code that all axial loads can be carried from the upper parts to the lower parts as determined by the designer, but Korean and Japanese steel have been designed by 1/4 of the standard of all axial loads. In this paper, a metal touch experiment was done as an intermediation parameter with a connecting location and a connecting method for economic and constructive efficiency. Every specimen is tested by a low-to-high displacement control to grasp ultimate strength, displacement, the connection's lateral deflection, and stress. The results of the test were compared and analyzed.

A steel frame is one of the most commonly used structural systems due to its resistance to various types of applied loads. Many studies have been conducted to investigate the effects of several parameters, such as connection flexibility, the boundary condition of each support, and beam-to-column stiffness ratio, on the characteristic behavior of a frame. Based on the results of these studies, several design methods have been proposed. This research focused on the number of bolts on the rotational stiffness of a double-angle connection, and its effect on the story drift of a frame. To achieve these purposes, a simplified analytical model was proposed. Several experimental tests were also conducted to obtain the rotational connection stiffness of each double-angle connection.

Recently, high performance steels have been utilized to structural materials in buildings and bridges with the demand for high-rise and long-span of main structures. In this paper, flexure-compression members with the high-strength steel were experimentally evaluated to satisfy the design criteria when stub columns fabricated with HSA800 steel were eccentrically loaded. This test was conducted on box-shaped and H-shaped steels stub columns with high-strength steel to verify the P-M interaction of members subjected to combined forces according to axial load ratios. The results showed that all specimens were satisfied the requirements of Korean Building Code(KBC2009) for using of structural members.

Today, there is a growing need of environment-friendly buildings, so-called 'green', facilities, and energy saving buildings to decrease environmental pollutants released into cities by construction activities. Green-Building Information Modeling (Green-BIM) is a purpose-built solution which supports to forecast energy consumption of 3-D model of a building by augmenting its primary 3-D measurements (width, height and depth) with many more dimensions (e.g. time, costs, social impacts and environmental consequences) throughout a series of sequential phases in the lifecycle of a building. The current study was carried out in order to integrate vegetation systems (particularly green roof and green wall systems) and investigate thermal performance of the new Sainsbury's building which will be built on Melton road, Leicester, United Kingdom. Within this scope, a 3-D building model of the news Sainsbury's building was first developed in $Autodesk^{(R)}$ $Revit^{(R)}$ and this model was then simulated in $Autodesk^{(R)}$ $Ecotect^{(R)}$once weather data of the construction site was obtained from $Autodesk^{(R)}$ Green Building $Studio^{(R)}$. This study primarily analyzed data from (1) solar radiation, (2) heat gains and losses, and (3) heating and cooling loads simulation to evaluate thermal performance of the building integrated with vegetation system or conventionally available envelops. The results showed that building integrated vegetation system can potentially reduce internal solar gains on the building rooftops by creating a 'bioshade'. Heat gains and losses through roofs and walls were markedly diminished by offering greater insulation on the building. Annual energy loads for heating and cooling were significantly reduced by vegetation more significantly through the green roof system in comparison to green wall system.

Deep excavation increases utility of underground spaces for high buildings. subways etc. To excavate vertically the underground, safe earth retaining walls and supporting systems should be prepared. Recently anchors have been used to support the excavation wall. The anchored excavation has some advantages toprovide working space for underground construction. In this paper the prestressed anchor loads were measured by load cells which attacted to the anchors to support the excavation walls at eight construction fields. where under-ground deep excavation was performed on cohesionless soils. The lateral pressures on the retaining walls, which are estimated from the measured anchor forces, shows a trapezoidal distribution that the pressure increases linearly with depth from the ground surface to 30% of the excavation depth and then keeps constant value regardless of the stiffness of the walls. The maximum lateral pressure was same to 63% of the Ranking active earth pressure or 17% of the vertical overburden pressure at the final depth The investigation of the measured lateral pressure on the anchored excavation walls shows that empirical earth pressure diagram presented by Terzaghi-Peck and Tschebotarioff could be applied with some modifications to determine anchor loads for the anchored excavation in cohesionless soils.

This study proposes schemes of GIS-based system development for integrated information management in water environment linked with Korean Reach File (KRF). For this purpose, precedent studies and systems of the U.S. were investigated and analyzed to induce optimal methodology for Korean circumstances. Thereafter, data linkage methods of KRF and Water Environment Information System (WEIS), system configuration plans, application development plans, and KRF improvement and maintenance plans were considered. For data linkage and system configuration, three methods were suggested: an overlay operation-based data linkage method, entering spatial addresses into the existing DB, and creating link information between KRF and the existing DB. The first method was predicted to be the most effective for system implementation, the second method is advantageous for search tasks, and the third method is advantageous for system security and maintenance. Various types of applications should be developed in the consideration of the types of the users and their usages. Moreover, there is a need for further research on regular renewal of KRF, standard development, expansion of construction areas, etc. Based on the present results, research on actual system design and development also should be conducted for supporting Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs).

Types of foundation of high rise buildings are primarily determined by loads transmitted from super structure, soil bearing capacity and available construction technology. The usd of deep foundation cannot be justified due to the fact that rock of enough bearing capacity is not found down until 90 ~ 100m. When a concentration of high soil pressure must be distributed over the entire building area, when small soft soil areas must be bridged, and when compressible strata are located at a shallow depth, mat foundation may be useful in order to have settlement and differential settlement of variable soils be minimized. The concept of mat foundation will also demonstrate some difficulities of applications if the load bearing demand directly carried down to the load -bearing strata exceeds the load -bearing capacity. This paper introduces both the analysis and design of mat type foundation for high rise buildings as well as the methodology of modelling of the soil foundation, especially, engineered to redistribute the stress exceeding the soil bearing capadity. This process will result in the wid spread of stresses over the entire building foundation.

Asphalt pavements of the airport in service were monitored to construct new runway and taxiway and longitudinal cracks were found on the pavements. The sources of the longitudinal cracks were the low density which was caused by the longitudinal cold joint with asphalt Pavement constructions and the excessive loads of aircraft. Therefore, the echelon paving method using a 12m-wide screed finisher was used to eliminate longitudinal cracks. When the echelon paving is used, construction of the longitudinal joint is changed so that the compaction of the unconfined edge of the first lane is delayed until the second lane is placed. In conclusion, the use of this construction method results in the density of the longitudinal joint being equal to that of the adjacent mat.

The effects of the WfP construction are analysed quantitatively based on the pollutant budget change in Masan Bay. The reduction effects of the watershed pollutant loads are clearly shown, while the positive influence of the water quality (WQ) are not substantial because the pollutant load also increased continusly after WTP construction. The reduction effects of the COD, 55, TN and TP parameters are 17.6%, 68.9%,66.7%, and 38%, respectively in Masan Bay (zone I). The environmental condition of the northern part of Chinhae Bay (zone ll), however, is slowly degraded because of the direct and indirect effects - effluents discharge from the WTP and pollutants release from the sediment, respectively.

The purpose of this study was to assess nonpoint sources (NPS) pollution affected by liquid manure and regulating gate in a small agricultural watershed. The study area, which is a wide plain farmland, was operating by the Buyong regulating gate in order to maintain irrigation water level during irrigation period. Consequentially, runoff only occurs through the gate at each event in rainy season for avoiding farmland inundation. In addition, the usage ratio of liquid manure in the study area has been increased greatly since 2014. Discharge loads at the Hwaingsan bridge subwatershed were 1.2 times for T-N, 4-10 times for T-P, and 3-8 times for TOC compared with the Soyang watershed (control) during study period. The reason was that NPS pollutants from upper Gpeun and Sangri bridge subwatersheds, which are widely spraying with livestock liquid manure, were stack at this subwaterehd because of regulating gate in non-rainy seasons. A number of agricultural watersheds in Saemangeum watershed are affected by regulating gate and vigorous livestock activities so that substantial management schemes under controling regulating gate are needed for minimizing livestock related NPS.
