Reinforced concrete structural walls are widely known to provide an efficient lateral load resistance and drift control. However, many reported researches on them are mostly limited to the RC structural walls reinforced according to seismic details. When the pushover analysis technique is used for the prediction of inelastic behavior of frame-wall structures for the seismic evaluation of existing buildings having non-seismic details, the reliability of this analysis method should be checked by the test results. The objective of this study is to verify the correlation between the experimental and analytical responses of a high-rise reinforced concrete frame-wall structure having non-seismic details by using DRAIN-2DX program[11] and the test results performed previously[1]. It is concluded that the behavior of the frame-wall model is mainly affected by the fixed-end rotation(uplift at base) and bending deformation of the wall and that the analysis with the LINKS model[10] in DRAIN-2DX describes them with good reliability.

In high rise buildings that utilize precast large panel system for construction, the shear wall provides strength and stiffness during earthquakes. The performance of a wall panel system depends mainly on the type of connection used to transfer the forces from one wall element to another wall element. This paper presents an experimental investigation on different types of construction detailing of the precast wall to wall vertical connections under reverse cyclic loading. One of the commonly used connections in India to connect wall to wall panel is the loop bar connection. Hence for this study, three types of wet connections and one type of dry connection namely: Staggered loop bar connection, Equally spaced loop bar connection, U-Hook connection, and Channel connection respectively were used to connect the precast walls. One third scale model of the wall was used for this study. The main objective of the experimental work is to evaluate the performance of the wall to wall connections in terms of hysteretic behaviour, ultimate load carrying capacity, energy dissipation capacity, stiffness degradation, ductility, viscous damping ratio, and crack pattern. All the connections exhibited similar load carrying capacity. The U-Hook connection exhibited higher ductility and energy dissipation when compared to the other three connections.

With the development of technology the Global Positioning System(GPS) measurement method which uses the artificial satellites to locate its position has been adopted in construction projects. Especially in civil engineering projects which have not any base points needed to measure their position they use the GPS measurement method has been put to practical use. But it was still difficult to use that method in building construction sites which require more accurate measurement data than the current GPS measurement method can provide. In this paper we introduce a new GPS measurement method adopted in Burj Dubai project which would be the tallest building in the world after its completion.

Due to an increase in the number of large-scale and high rise buildings, the importance of indoor location information has been highlighted. As a result, seamless three-dimensional space information, linked to various indoor and outdoor services is required. The purpose of this study is to develop a system which can edit and operate indoor space information using the IndoorGML(Geography Markup Language). It provides functions such as converting and editing authoring indoor space using the IndoorGML. Based on defined schema which is the IndoorGML international standardization work, we develop the "Editor" and "Viewer" for the IndoorGML. When indoor space is modeled in an authoring tool, a variety of topologies can be created automatically. These are available to be edited and modified. Moreover, the file of model can be saved as IndoorGML, SBM and KML file. These files are viewed by the "Viewer". Indoor LBS(Location Based Service)is served with these principles.

Fire prevention strategies should be aimed at the prevention of structured fire since average annual rates of structured fire have been increased due to economic growth resulted in increasing high rise buildings and multipurpose occupancies over the past ten years. Hence, this study mainly focused on the improve method and problems in the field test of fire detector in compliances with experimental consideration. And it leads us to the flowing conclusions : Firstly, it is necessary to formulate a safety standards on field test. Nowadays, the test enforced in many ways without formulated standard. Therefore it is necessary to be complete the arrangements standardized and how to do the test with formulated safety standards. Second, it is necessary to establish the regal guidance with regard to inspection equipment, ie density, component and temperature of test equipment should be considered. Also the equipment is need to be standardized and improved. Third, fire inspector's competency in their practice should be enhanced. The problems arising from the lack of knowledge and competence regarding inspection could be settled by providing professional education to ensure proficiency in their practice. Specialized training, as has been noted, should be offered in accordance with occupancy type, scale and fire protection system in the fire facilities.

The objective of this study is to investigate the structural behavior of the beam to column connection with reformed T-stubs and to ascertain the application of semi-rigid connection with reformed T-stubs to middle high rise buildings. The tests of steel frame using semi-rigid connections with reformed T-stub and existing T-stub were performed under cyclic loading condition. Finite element analysis was also carried out and the results of FEM were compared with results of tests. The thickness of reformed T-stub and the distance of bolt were used for parameters in the analysis. The structural behaviors of reformed T-stub were understood qualitatively and the possibility of application of semi-rigid connections with reformed T-stubs was ascertained.

Wind power generation is the natural source energy without pollution, and the highest economic efficiency among renewable energies. Amid the recent development of small wind power generation, wind power generation facilities can be installed in the super high-rise buildings or complexes. It is necessary to conduct analyses on appropriate locations in a bid to promote efficient power generation in those locations. In this study, relative weight of the elements required for the wind power generation were estimated by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process in Busan City, and the characteristics of wind velocity and wind direction in Busan City were expressed. As a result, 'Dadae 1-dong, Cheolma-myeon, Noksan-dong' was selected as the candidate region inside Gangseo-gu, Gijang-gun, Saha-gu by using the geo-spatial information system.

A particle tuned mass damper (PTMD) system is the combination of a traditional tuned mass damper (TMD) and a particle damper (PD). This paper presents the results of an experimental and analytical study of the damping performance of a PTMD attached to the top of a benchmark model under wind load excitation. The length ratio of the test model is 1:200. The vibration reduction laws of the system were explored by changing some system parameters (including the particle material, total auxiliary mass ratio, the mass ratio between container and particles, the suspending length, and wind velocity). An appropriate analytical solution based on the concept of an equivalent single-unit impact damper is presented. Comparison between the experimental and analytical results shows that, with the proper use of the equivalent method, reasonably accurate estimates of the dynamic response of a primary system under wind load excitation can be obtained. The experimental and simulation results show the robustness of the new damper and indicate that the damping performance can be improved by controlling the particle density, increasing the amount of particles, and aggravating the impact of particles etc.
