A computationally efficient stiffness design method for building structures is proposed in which dynamic soil-structure interaction based on the wave-propagation theory is taken into account. A sway-rocking shear building model with appropriate ground impedances derived from the cone models due to Meek and Wolf (1994) is used as a simplified design model. Two representative models, i.e. a structure on a homogeneous half-space ground and a structure on a soil layer on rigid rock, are considered. Super-structure stiffness satisfying a desired stiffness performance condition are determined via an inverse problem formulation for a prescribed ground-surface response spectrum. It is shown through a simple yet reasonably accurate model that the ground conditions, e.g. homogeneous half-space or soil layer on rigid rock (frequency-dependence of impedance functions), ground properties (shear wave velocity), depth of surface ground, have extensive influence on the super-structure design.

The updated Turkish Building Earthquake Code has been significantly renovated and expanded compared to previous seismic design codes. The use of earthquake ground motion levels with different probabilities of exceedance is one of the major advances in structural mechanics with the current code. This study aims to investigate the earthquake performance of steel structure in settlements with different seismic hazards for various earthquake ground motion levels. It is focused on earthquake and structural parameters for four different ground motion levels with different probabilities of exceedance calculated according to the location of the structure by the updated Turkish Hazard Map. For this purpose, each of the seven different geographical regions of Turkey which has the same seismic zone in the previous earthquake hazard map has been considered. Earthquake parameters, horizontal design elastic spectra obtained and comparisons were made for all different ground motion levels for the seven different locations, respectively. Structural analyzes for a sample steel structure were carried out using pushover analysis by using the obtained design spectra. It has been determined that the different ground motion levels significantly affect the expected target displacements of the structure for performance criteria. It is noted that the different locations of the same earthquake zone in the previous code with the same earthquake-building parameters show significant variations due to the micro zoning properties of the updated seismic design code. In addition, the main innovations of the updated code were discussed.

It is known that a base-isolated building exhibits a large response to a long-duration, long-period wave and an inter-connected system without base-isolation shows a large response to a pulse-type wave. To compensate for each deficiency, a new hybrid passive control system is investigated in which a base-isolated building is connected to another building (free wall) with oil dampers. It is demonstrated that the present hybrid passive control system is effective both for pulse-type ground motions and long-duration and long-period ground motions and has high redundancy and robustness for a broad range of disturbances.

The Vocational Rehabilitation Center Expansion Project, with a budget of 15.3 billion KRW, transformed an existing facility into a more eco-friendly, user-friendly, and publicly accessible space. The project involved expanding the building from a basement and two above-ground floors to a basement and six above-ground floors, addressing the shortage of facilities for people with disabilities while promoting eco-friendliness. Design concepts included eco-friendly MASS, improvements to the existing building, social adaptability, and user-centric evacuation measures. Value Engineering (VE) and technical reviews led to proposals for cost reduction and functionality enhancement. Completed in September 2019, the project, renamed "Se-um Center," now hosts seven disability welfare facilities, serving as a vital infrastructure improving the lives of individuals with disabilities in the local community.

A substantial portion of the cost of deep excavations in urban environments is devoted to prevent ground movements and their effects on adjacent buildings and utilites. Prediction of ground movements and assessment of the risk of damage to adjacent structures has become an essential part of the planning, design, and construction of a deep excavation project in the urban environments. This paper presents damage assessment techniques for buildings and utilities adjacent deep excavation, which can be readily used in practice.

지반함몰의 주요 발생원인은 지하매설물의 손상으로 알려져 있다. 지반함몰은 상·하수관의 손상으로 인한 물길 형성에 따른 지반 내 토립자의 이동으로 공동이 형성되어 상부지반이 붕괴되는 메커니즘을 보이고 있다. 따라서 지반함몰은 지하매설물의 밀집도가 높은 도심지를 중심으로 발생하고 있으며, 사고 발생 시 인명 및 경제적 피해를 야기하므로 사고에 대한 대비가 반드시 필요하다. 이에 따라 지반함몰 위험을 예측하기 위한 연구가 꾸준히 수행되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 ○○시의 2개 구를 대상으로 지반함몰 위험도 예측 모델을 제시하고자 하였다. 대상 지역의 지하매설물 속성 데이터(활용년수, 관직경)와 지하매설물 밀집도, 지반함몰 이력 데이터를 활용하여 데이터셋을 구축하고 전처리를 수행한 뒤, 기계학습 모델에 적용하여 최적의 평가지표가 도출되는 모델을 선정하였으며, 선정된 모델의 신뢰도를 평가하고 모델에서 도출되는 지반함몰 위험도 예측 시 활용된 영향인자의 중요도를 제시하고자 하였다.

인공동결 공법은 지반에 영구적인 영향을 초래하지 않는 지반개량 공법으로 인공동결 공법의 효율성 및 설계기준을 결정하는 핵심인자는 물의 흐름이다. 따라서 인공동결 공법을 적용하기 위해서는 동결구근 및 벽체 형성에 물의 흐름이 미치는 영향에 대한 연구가 선행되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 물의 흐름이 동결구근 및 벽체 형성에 미치는 영향을 극대화하기 위해 순수한 물을 활용한 실내실험과 수치해석 연구를 수행하였다. 열-수리 연계 해석모델을 새롭게 제안하고 이를 실험적으로 검증하였으며, 유량이 동결벽체 형성 시간 및 형상을 결정짓는 핵심인자임을 확인하였다. 나아가, 동결구근 및 벽체를 가시적으로 확인하기 어려운 지반에서 활용성이 높을 것으로 예상되는 동결벽체 형성 시간을 간접적으로 예측할 수 있는 방안을 새롭게 제시하였다.

Korea government published renewable energy obligation policy that public building must be supplied some part of total consumption energy (2019: 27%, 2020: 30%). RETScreen is freely available global energy tool that developed by Canadian National Energy Laboratory to quantify energy saving to compare conventional system. This program can be performed energy modeling, cost analysis, greenhouse gas emission analysis and financial analysis. In this study, GSHP (Ground source heat pump) heating and cooling system were studied for the energy deliverly and ROI (Return On Investment) in an office building. Three cases were studied according to the number of HP (Heat pump) units for the 1,000㎡ office building located in Daejeon. Results indicated that the energy delivery of the case 1 (1 HP unit) covered 57% of the office building heating and cooling energy consumption. The case 2 (2 HP units) covered 87.8% and the case 3 (3 HP units) covered 96.8% of the office building energy consumption. The ROI of the case 1 indicated 7.9 years. While 8.2 years for the case 2 and 9.7 years for the case 3.

최근 우리나라에서 지진이 발생하여 대도시의 초고층 건물의 내진연구가 증가하고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 초고층 건물의 내진연구 및 해석은 지반을 간접적으로 고려하고 있다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기의 영향이 거의 고려되고 있지 않는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지진파 탁월주기가 초고층 건물 동적거동에 미치는 영향이 지반을 고려하는 연속체 모델을 적용하여 분석되었다. 이를 위해 유한요소기반의 수치해석 프로그램인 MIDAS GTS NX를 사용하여 선형시간이력해석을 적용한 2D 동적해석을 수행하였다. 또한 동적거동 분석을 위해 수평변위, 층간변위비, 휨응력 및 건물 취약부를 이용하였다. 연구 결과, 전반적으로 초고층 건물은 지진파 탁월주기가 길어질수록 더 큰 동적반응이 발생하였다. 또한 지진파 탁월주기가 다른 파라미터인 지반조건, 지진파 크기보다 더 큰 영향을 주는 것으로 나타났다.

For vibration control of civil structures, especially large civil structures, one of the important issues is how to place a minimal number of actuators and sensors at their respective optimal locations to achieve the predetermined control performance. In this paper, a methodology is presented for the determination of the minimal number and optimal location of actuators and sensors for vibration control of building structures under earthquake excitation. In the proposed methodology, the number and location of the actuators are first determined in terms of the sequence of performance index increments and the predetermined control performance. A multi-scale response reconstruction method is then extended to the controlled building structure for the determination of the minimal number and optimal placement of sensors with the objective that the reconstructed structural responses can be used as feedbacks for the vibration control while the predetermined control performance can be maintained. The feasibility and accuracy of the proposed methodology are finally investigated numerically through a 20-story shear building structure under the El-Centro ground excitation and the Kobe ground excitation. The numerical results show that with the limited number of sensors and actuators at their optimal locations, the predetermined control performance of the building structure can be achieved.
