Building foundations for Top-Down construction require a special setting, because the foundations have to be placed way before excavation for the substructure of main building, Usually, the foundation goes into the layer of rock and it is often called rock-pier foundation, Currently, a cage of steel reinforcing bars is inserted to the pre-excavated hole in the rock layer, hanging down from the wide flange steel column above. This paper presents a new method for connecting the prefounded column and the steel cage with a coupler for better connection between the two, The use of a circular Concrete Filled Tube (CFT) as a prefounded column makes it possible to have this type of connection. The details of the connection and application to a Top-Down construction site is also included in this paper.

When top down method is used, it could be a construction method trouble in column joint, between the former concrete and the latter. It could bring a void and weak concrete in column. The purpose of this study is finding a way to prevent concrete void and concrete suitable for top down, through V-metering for top down column and concrete experiment.

The joint treatment of concrete is one of the technical problems in top down construction method. Joints created with the top down construction result in serious weakness from the aspects of both structural and water-barrier function. Ultrasonic method was used for the inspection of top down construction joints of column in SRC structure in this study. As a result it has been verified that the semi-direct measurement method is more effective than the other methods for detecting the voids of construction joints.

Recent technological advances in mobile communication systems have made explosive growth in the number of mobile device users worldwide. One of the most important issues in designing a mobile computing system is location management of users. The hierarchical systems had been proposed to solve the scalability problem in location management. The scalability problem occurs when there are too many users for a mobile system to handle, as the system is likely to react slow or even get down due to late updates of the location databases. In this paper, we propose a top-down clustering algorithm for hierarchical location database systems in a wireless network. A hierarchical location database system employs a tree structure. The proposed algorithm uses a top-down approach and utilizes the number of visits to each cell made by the users along with the movement information between a pair of adjacent cells. We then present a modified algorithm by incorporating the exhaustive method when there remain a few levels of the tree to be processed. We also propose a capacity constraint top-down clustering algorithm for more realistic environments where a database has a capacity limit. By the capacity of a database we mean the maximum number of mobile device users in the cells that can be handled by the database. This algorithm reduces a number of databases used for the system and improves the update performance. The experimental results show that the proposed, top-down, modified top-down, and capacity constraint top-down clustering algorithms reduce the update cost by 17.0%, 18.0%, 24.1%, the update time by about 43.0%, 39.0%, 42.3%, respectively. The capacity constraint algorithm reduces the average number of databases used for the system by 23.9% over other algorithms.

본 연구에서는 흙막이벽 설계시 널리 사용되고 있는 SUNEX 프로그램을 이용하여 Top-Down 공법이 적용된 지중연속벽, 주열식 흙막이벽(CIP벽, SCW벽)의 변형거동을 분석하였다. 해석프로그램에 Rankine의 토압(1857), Terzaghi and Peck의 토압(1967), Tschebotarioff의 토압(1973), 홍원표 윤중만의 토압(1995a)을 적용하여 흙막이벽의 수평변위를 예측하였다. 프로그램 해석결과, 흙막이벽의 수평변위량은 토압의 종류에 따라 큰 차이를 나타내고 있다. 홍원표 윤중만의 토압(1995a)을 적용하여 얻은 흙막이벽의 예측수평변위량이 실측수평변위량과 가장 유사하게 나타났다. 따라서 프로그램 해석시 홍원표 윤중만의 경험토압(1995a)을 적용하면, Top-Down 공법이 적용된 흙막이벽의 변형거동을 비교적 정확히 예측할 수 있다.

When top down method is used, it could be a construction method trouble in column joint, between the former concrete and the latter. It could bring a void and weak concrete in column. The purpose of this study is finding a way to prevent concrete void and concrete suitable for top down , through V-metering for top down column and concrete experiment. To minimize the void of reverse placement joint, It is more effect to use the sheath method then direct method in concrete placement.

The purpose of this study is to research a specific material characteristics of top down concrete at column joint and to reduce column joint opening. Based on the established top down study, the experiment to apply an real construction case is performed. When the concrete placed into joint of top down column, raised air bubble is left as opening. This study is examined the incomplete packing reason in the top down column and found to air deflation method. The result of study is below (1) As the method to minimize column opening caused from confined air, it is required that an air exhaust port installation in joint column. (2) From air exhaust port installation, most of air bubble in column part is exhausted. As the concrete placing height is going up, air bubble size is going smaller.

Almost prefounded columns for top-down construction certainly have construction tolerances in plan and plumbness. Therefore, it is very difficult to connect prefabricated beams to prefounded columns at each floor level after excavation by usual top-down connection method and this usual connection method leads to long construction time, increasing cost and decreasing quality. This paper presents a new method for connecting prefabricated beam to prefounded column with GROUT-JACKET CONNECTION SYSTEM consisting of sleeve, bearing-shear bands and grout. Details and illustrations of the connections and applications by GROUT-JACKET CONNECTION SYSTEM for the top-down construction are also included in this paper.

For the purpose of developing economical and time-efficient formwork for Top-down construction, a Non-Supporting Form System has been proposed. The system is consisted of two parts: a hanging part to support a steel frame and a section of concrete slab, and the other hanging part to lower the steel frame. In this paper, the proposed system is compared to two existing systems of Non Supporting Top-down Method and Bracket Supported R/C Downward Method. It is expected that this system can be used in Top-down construction with further development.
