In general, the study of a high-rise building's behaviour when subjected to a horizontal load (wind or earthquake) is carried out through numerical modelling with finite elements method. This paper proposes a new, original approach based on the use of a multi-beams model. By redistributing bending and axial stiffness of horizontal elements (beams and slabs) along vertical elements, it becomes possible to produce a system of differential equations able to represent the structural behaviour of the whole building. In this paper this approach is applied to the study of bending behaviour in a 37-storey building (Torre Pontina, Latina, Italy) with a regular reinforced concrete structure. The load considered is the wind, estimated in accordance with Italian national technical rules and regulations. To simplify the explanation of the approach, the wind load was considered uniform on the height of building with a value equal to the average value of the wind load distribution. The system of differential equations' is assessed numerically, using Matlab, and compared with the obtainable solution from a finite elements model along with the obtainable solutions via classical Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The comparison carried out demonstrates, in the case study examined, an excellent approximation of structural behaviour.

In order to study the working mechanism of rectangular steel-concrete composite columns subjected to compression-bending load and further determine the seismic performance index, a bottom strengthened rectangular steel reinforced concrete (SRC) column with concealed steel plates and a bottom strengthened rectangular concrete filled steel tube (CFST) columns were proposed. Six column models with different configurations were tested under horizontal low cyclic loading. Based on the experiments, the load-bearing capacity, stiffness and degradation process, ductility, hysteretic energy dissipation capacity, and failure characteristics of the models were analyzed. The load-bearing capacity calculation formulas for a normal section and an oblique section of bottom strengthened rectangular steel-concrete composite columns were pesented and a finite element (FE) numerical simulation of the classical specimens was performed. The study shows that the load-bearing capacity, ductility, and seismic energy dissipation capacity of the bottom strengthened rectangular steel-concrete composite columns are significantly improved compared to the conventional rectangular steel-concrete composite columns and the results obtained from the calculation and the FE numerical simulation are in good agreement with those from the experiments. The rectangular steel-concrete composite column with bottom strengthened shows better seismic behavior and higher energy dissipation capacity under suitable constructional requirements and it can be applied to the structure design of high-rise buildings.

In this paper the progressive collapse potential of building structures designed for real construction projects were evaluated based on arbitrary column removal scenario using various alternate path methods specified in the GSA guidelines. The analysis model structures are a 22-story reinforced concrete moment frames with core wall building and a 44-story interior concrete core and exterior steel diagrid structure. The progressive collapse resisting capacities of the model structures were evaluated using the linear static, nonlinear static, and nonlinear dynamic analyses. The linear static analysis results showed that progressive collapse occurred in the 22-story model structure when an interior column was removed. However the structure turned out to be safe according to the nonlinear static and dynamic analyses. Similar results were observed in the 44-story diagrid structure. Based on the analysis results, it was concluded that, compared with nonlinear analysis procedures, the linear static method is conservative in the prediction of progressive collapse resisting capacity of building structure based on arbitrary column removal scenario.

현재 국내에서는 벽체와 바닥판으로만 구성된 벽식 구조형식의 아파트 건물이 많이 사용되고 있다. 또한 청력에 대한 저항이 뛰어나기 때문에 전단벽 코어를 갖는 입체골조구조물이 고층 빌딩의 구조시스템으로 자주 이용된다. 기능적인 이유로 인해 이러한 구조물들의 전단벽에는 하나 또는 여러 개의 개구부가 발생하게 된다. 개구부가 있는 전단벽을 정확하게 해석하기 위해서는 여러 개의 유한요소를 사용하여 구조물을 세분모형화하는 것이 필요하다. 그러나, 전체 구조물을 유한요소로 세분하여 모형화하는 것은 막대한 해석시간과 컴퓨터 메모리를 소요하게 된다. 개구부의 수, 크기, 위치에 상관없이 적용할 수 있는 효율적인 해석기법이 본 논문에서 제안되었다. 제안된 해석기법에서는 슈퍼요소와 부분구조, 행렬응축, 가상보 등을 이용하였고 제안된 해석기법의 효율성을 검증하기 위해 벽식구조물과 전단벽 코어를 갖는 입체골조구조물의 3차원 해석이 수행되었다. 예제구조물의 해석을 통해 제안된 해석기법이 해석시간과 컴퓨터메모리를 크게 감소시키고, 정확한 해석결과를 얻을 수 있음이 확인되었다.

A concrete core is used widely as lateral stability systems in high-rise modular buildings. As an alternative to traditional cast in-situ core, the precast concrete(PC) method can accelerate the construction of reinforced concrete cores. A core composed of precast elements differs from a in-situ core in having connections between the precast elements. The typical vertical connection between PC panels is consisted of shear keys, loop bars, lacer bars and grout. In this study, the effect of vertical connection components on shear strength is investigated experimentally. The test results show that the contribution to the shear strength is greater in order of grout strength, shear keys, lacer bars and loop bars. In addition, the numerical models to estimate the shear strength according to two crack patterns in the vertical joint of the PC panels are derived. The feasibility of the numerical models is evaluated by comparing the estimated shear strength and the test results.

Auto Climbing Formwork System (ACS) for construction of high-rise building is a construction method for automatically lifting the formwork system supported by the anchor on the pre-constructed concrete wall. It has excellent construction speed and quality, but it has the possibility of structural failure depending on the quality of concrete and also has low economical efficiency due to the use of foreign technology. In order to overcome these problems, this study conducted an optimum design for the development of a new concept of Corner Supported Auto Climbing System (CS-ACS) in conjunction with the development of corner steel-reinforced concrete core wall system. For the design the formwork system, the basic module and structural member compositions were planned, and the structural analysis program was used to analyze the optimum member's cross section and spacing. As a result, the horizontal displacement and the stress of the horizontal members were influenced by the spacing more than the cross-section of the member. On the other hand, vertical members did not affect the displacement and stress of the formwork system. The form tie was very effective in controlling the displacement when adjusting the spacing of the horizontal members, but when the spacing of the form tie is more than 1,500mm, it is analyzed that form tie is yielding in basic module. When the span of the formwork system is more than 30m, it is analyzed that the basic module needs to be changed because of the increase of overall displacement.

Damping materials for reducing heavy-weight floor impact noise in reinforced concrete structures were tested in apartment buildings. The effect of damping materials and an impact isolator were compared with an on-site experiment conducted in a high-rise apartment building. The loss factor of damping material analyzed more than 2 times than rubber to $1.5{\sim}2.3$, could know that Damping layer has excellent attenuation performance in side of vibration reduction. The results showed that the resonance frequency increased but vibration acceleration level decreased when the damping materials were used. The heavy-weight impact sound levels of the structure decreased substantially at 63 Hz, whereas the sound levels of the structure with the impact isolator increased.

Shear wall is commonly used as a lateral force resisting system of concrete mid-rise and high-rise buildings, but it brings challenges in providing relatively large space throughout the building height. For this reason, the structure system where the upper structure with bearing, non-bearing and/or shear walls that sits on top of a transfer plate system supported by widely spaced columns at the lower stories is preferred in some regions, particularly in low to moderate seismic regions in Asia. A thick reinforced concrete (RC) plate has often been used as a transfer system, along with RC transfer girders; however, the RC plate becomes very thick for tall buildings. Applying the post-tensioning (PT) technique to RC plates can effectively reduce the thickness and reinforcement as an economical design method. Currently, a simplified model is used for numerical modeling of PT transfer plate, which does not consider the interaction of the plate and the upper structure. To observe the actual behavior of PT transfer plate under seismic loads, it is necessary to model whole parts of the structure and tendons to precisely include the interaction and the secondary effect of PT tendons in the results. This research evaluated the seismic behavior of shear wall-type residential buildings with PT transfer plates for the condition that PT tendons are included or excluded in the modeling. Three-dimensional finite element models were developed, which includes prestressing tendon elements, and response spectrum analyses were carried out to evaluate seismic forces. Two buildings with flat-shape and L-shape plans were considered, and design forces of shear walls and transfer columns for a system with and without PT tendons were compared. The results showed that, in some cases, excluding PT tendons from the model leads to an unrealistic estimation of the demands for shear walls sit on transfer plate and transfer columns due to excluding the secondary effect of PT tendons. Based on the results, generally, the secondary effect reduces shear force demand and axial-flexural demands of transfer columns but increases the shear force demand of shear walls. The results of this study suggested that, in addition to the effect of PT on the resistance of transfer plate, it is necessary to include PT tendons in the modeling to consider its effect on force demand.

초고층 및 장경간 등 대형 구조물에 대한 시공시 부재의 품질이 저하될 정도로 과다한 철근이 배근되고 있다는 문제점이 제기되고 있으며, 최근 건축되고 있는 초고층 건축물에서는 건물의 안정성과 내구성 등을 감안하여 사용 재료의 강도도 점차 증가하고 있다. 초고층 및 장경간 구조물의 시공에서 고강도 철근을 사용할 경우 기존의 일반 강도 철근에 비해 배근량 감소로 인하여 부재에서 배근 간격에도 여유를 줄 수 있어 시공성 향상, 공기단축, 접합부 상세가 간소화 되는 장점이 있다. 이 연구에서는 SD500, SD600 철근을 국내에서 설계되었거나 시공되어진 라멘 구조 형식의 지하주차장 건축물에 적용하여 각 부재별로 철근의 강도에 따른 순수 철근량에 대한 정착 및 이음 철근량 증감을 비교 분석한 결과 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 계산된 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량은 사용철근의 강도가 증가함에 따른 정착 및 이음길이의 증가량과 순수 물량의 감소비율, 사용철근의 직경이 줄였을 때의 단면적 감소 등의 요인들에 의해 정착 및 이음 물량이 결정되었으며, 전체적으로 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율이 SD400대비 SD500의 경우는 증가하였지만 SD500대비 SD600의 경우는 감소하였다. 이는 보의 정착 및 이음 물량이 전체 정착 및 이음 물량에 미치는 영향이 크기 때문으로 판단된다. 한편 순수 물량에 대한 정착 및 이음 물량의 비율에서 SD400과 SD500의 차이와 SD400과 SD600의 차이가 미미하여 철근의 정착 및 이음 물량이 강도 증가에 따른 전체 철근 물량의 증감에는 큰 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 파악되었다.
