This study aims at investigating the hysteretic performance of a novel composite wall panel fabricated by infilling aerated concrete blocks into a novel light-steel frame used for low-rise residential buildings. The novel light-steel frame is consisted of two thin-wall rectangular hollow section columns and a truss-beam assembled using patented U-shape connectors. Two bare light-steel frames and two composite wall panels have been tested to failure under horizontal cyclic loading. Hysteretic curves, lateral resistance and stiffness of four specimens have been investigated and analyzed. Based on the testing results, it is found that the masonry infill can significantly increase the lateral resistance and stiffness of the novel light-steel frame, about 2.3~3 and 21.2~31.5 times, respectively. Failure mode of the light-steel frame is local yielding of the column. For the composite wall panel, firstly, masonry infill is crushed, subsequently, local yielding may occur at the column if loading continues. Hysteretic curve of the composite wall panel obtained is not plump, implying a poor energy dissipation capacity. However, the light-steel frame of the composite wall panel can dissipate more energy after the masonry infill is crushed. Therefore, the composite wall panel has a much higher energy dissipation capacity compared to the bare light-steel frame.

As energy costs increase, more people has become interested on energy efficiency and savings in residential buildings. The two main subjects related to energy in residential buildings are insulation and condensation. There are two approaches to prevent condensation; increasing air tightness and maintaining the temperature inside of the wall structure over the dew point, which is in turn related to insulation. Even though the Korean government has highlighted the importance of energy efficiency for residential housings, and in spite of the customers' demands, the timber construction industry is still using conventional light-frame construction without even trying to improve energy efficiency. In this study, various types and combinations of wall structures were tested under cold outdoor and warm indoor temperatures to analyse the temperature gradients and to determine the possible sites of condensation in the wall structures. In addition to the experimental tests, three theoretical models were developed and their estimations of temperature change through the wall structure were compared with the actual measurements to evaluate accuracy of the models. The results of the three models agree relatively well with the experimental values, indicating that they can be used to estimate temperature changes in wall structures. The theoretical analysis of different insulation layers' combinations show that condensation may occur within the mid-layer in the conventional light-frame wall structures for any combination of inner-, mid-, and outer-layers of insulation. Therefore, it can be concluded that the addition of an inner and outer insulation layer or increasing the thickness of insulation may not be adequate to prevent condensation in the wall structure without preventing penetration of warm moist air into the wall structure.

On purpose to reduce accumulated moisture and to prevent moisture condensation in a light-frame wall, thermal characteristics and moisture behaviors were investigated for four different wall assemblies; a) typical wall, b) addition of vapor retarder between the insulation and the gypsum board, c) addition of air gap for natural ventilation behind the siding, d) composition with b) and c). Each wall was tested under two climate conditions; 1) $20^{\circ}C$, 50% RH (indoor) and $30^{\circ}C$, 85% RH (outdoor), 2) $30^{\circ}C$, 85% RH (indoor) and $20^{\circ}C$, 50% RH (outdoor).The results showed that the typical wall assembly had poor resistance against moisture intrusion from the inside of building. Outdoor and indoor humidity caused the moisture condensations on the inside of the siding and the back surface of the sheathing respectively. The addition of a vapor retarder did not give significant improvement in preventing the moisture intrusion.

In light-frame timber construction, the shear wall is one of the most important components that provide resistance to lateral loads such as earthquakes or winds. According to KDS (Korea Design Standard) 42 50 10, shear walls are to be constructed using wood-based structural sheathing, with studs connected by 8d nails spaced 150 mm along the edge and 300 mm in the field. Even though small-scale residential timber building can be designed to exhibit seismic resistance using light-frame timber shear walls in accordance with KDS 42 50 10, only the abovementioned standard type of timber shear wall is available. Therefore, more types of timber shear walls composed of various materials should be tested to measure their seismic resistance, and the results should be incorporated into the future revision of KDS 42 50 10. In this study, the seismic resistance of shear walls composed of structural timber studs and wood-based structural sheathing with reinforced nailing is tested to evaluate the effects of the reinforcement. For the nailing reinforcement, shear wall specimens are constructed by applying nail spacings of 75-150 mm and 50-100 mm. For the shear wall specimens with one sheathing and reinforced nailing, the shear strengths are 1.7-2.0 times higher than that of the standard shear wall (nail spacing of 150-300 mm). The shear strength of the shear walls with sheathing on both sides is 2.0-2.7 times higher than that of the standard shear wall.

본 연구는 경골목조벽체의 구조적 안전성을 위협하고 주거환경을 열악하게 하는 벽체 내 수분축적을 감소시키기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 벽체 구성 요소를 변화시켜 실험을 진행하였다. 벽체 구성요소는 방습지 및 공기층을 추가하였고, 이들의 변화에 따른 수분이동의 변화를 조사하기 위하여 실내외 온습도 차이가 뚜렷한 가혹조건에서 기본벽체와 제안벽체의 비교실험을 진행하였다. 실험결과 실내 측 방습지 추가로 방습성능을 높이는 것은 실내로부터의 수분이동 감소에 효과적으로 나타났지만 두 개의 방습지를 설치하는 경우 과도한 방습 성능이나 부적절한 위치선정으로 벽체의 내부의 상대습도를 높이는 것으로 나타났다. 공기층 추가는 환기 효과에 의해 벽체 내부에서 실외로 수분이동을 야기하였다. 공기층에 의해 실내로부터 벽체 내부로 유입되는 수분이동을 막을 대안을 찾는다면 환기에 의한 벽체 내 수분감소 효과를 극대화 할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In order to secure the variability of long-life housing, dry walls are used. The composite gypsum board panel is the most frequently used infill system for the wall, and it is an excellent construction method in terms of constructability and economic feasibility. However, there are also problems such as the destruction of Ondol pipes at the bottom floor and being unable to fix the light weight steel frame (M-bar) when a variable composite gypsum board panel is used. To solve such problems, a wall with a method of fixing only the top part without fixing the bottom floor is developed, but it is difficult to identify the durability of ceiling frame according to the tensile force of stud and the safety according to the Stiffness and impact resistance (soft body) of ceiling frame. Therefore, this study verified the effectiveness of infill system for the wall by conducting experiment on the stiffness and impact resistance of composite gypsum board panel according to the reinforcement of ceiling frame (wooden frame, double saw-toothed bracket, Cross M-bar). As a result, it was possible to secure the safety of wooden frame while the impact resistance and the Stiffness of double saw-toothed bracket and cross M-bar were not secured.

The Monte Carlo procedure was used to simulate wind load effects on a light-frame low-rise structure of irregular shape and a main wind force resisting system. Two analytical models were studied: rigid-beam and rigid-plate models. The models assumed that roof diaphragms were rigid beam or rigid plate and shear walls controlled system behavior and failure. The parameters defining wall stiffness, including imperfections, were random and included wall stiffness, wall capacity and yield displacements. The effect of openings was included in the simulation via a set of discrete multipliers with uniform distribution. One and two-story buildings were analyzed and the models can be expanded into multiple-floor structures provided that the assumptions made in this paper are not violated.

본 연구에서는 두 개의 주요 구조부분으로 구성된 새로운 하이브리드 목조 벽체의 내화성능을 평가하였다. 수직하중을 전적으로 담당하는 기둥-보 형태의 기본 골조에 두 가지 형태의 벽체가 채워졌을 때 이 전체를 내력 벽체로 가정하고 그 내화성능을 평가하고자 하였다. 하이브리드 벽체의 기본 개념은 뼈대를 갖는 전형적인 가구의 구조로부터 채용되었다. 기본이 되는 기둥-보 골조는 국산 낙엽송 소재로서, 기둥은 $180mm{\times}180mm$, 보는 $180mm{\times}240mm$ 단면의 부재가 사용되었다. 기둥-보 골조의 내부에 채워지는 벽체는 두 종류로서, 하나는 블러킹이 사용된 일반적인 경골목구조 벽체이고, 또 하나는 구조용 패널 사이에 스티로폼 단열재가 채워져 일체화된 구조를 이루는 구조용 단열 패널 벽체이다. 내화성능 시험에 사용된 모든 벽체는 2겹의 방화석고보드를 화염 노출면에 부착하였다. 모든 벽체는 우선 기둥-보 골조가 없는 상태에서 표준화염 조건에서 내화성능 시험을 수행하였고 다시 기둥-보 골조와 결합된 형태로 내화성능 시험을 수행하였다. 시험에 적용된 화염조건은 KS F 2257의 조건을 적용하였고 시험 중 구조체 내부 각 부위의 온도변화도 측정하였다. 본 연구를 통해 기둥-보 골조의 보강이 목구조 벽체의 내화성능 향상에 상당히 기여하는 것으로 확인되었다.
