Abstract

Since the seriousness of environmental pollution came to the fore recently, various efforts have been made globally for the reduction of the environmental load. In particular, in the field of construction, an industry responsible for a considerable amount of pollution, studies have been actively conducted to reduce $CO_2$ emissions and energy consumption. However, most conventional research about pollution as it relates to construction is focused on the maintenance stages where $CO_2$ emissions are the greatest. Research related to the design stage is in its infancy, as it has only been conducted thus far on steel buildings and RC buildings. In fact, in order to achieve environmentally friendly construction considering the Life Cycle Assessment(LCA), the building design should be derived to reduce the $CO_2$ emissions from the early building design stage, and structural engineers should be able to suggest a design plan considering its environmental friendliness. In this study, optimal structural design method for steel reinforced concrete(SRC) columns considering $CO_2$ emissions is presented. The trends of $CO_2$ emissions in SRC columns according to the variations of steel shapes, concrete strengths and loads are investigated.

최근 환경오염 문제에 대한 심각성이 대두되며 전 세계적으로 환경부하 저감을 위해 다양한 노력을 쏟고 있다. 특히 환경 저해 산업의 하나인 건설분야에서는 $CO_2$배출량과 에너지 소비량을 줄이기 위해 활발한 연구를 진행해 왔다. 그러나 건설분야의 기존 연구들은 대부분 $CO_2$배출량이 가장 큰 사용 및 유지관리 단계에만 집중하고 있으며, 설계단계에 대한 연구는 2D의 철근콘크리트 부재 및 구조물에 대해서만 실행되었을 정도로 초기단계이다. 사실, LCA적 관점에서 친환경적 건설산업을 이루기 위해서는 건물의 초기설계 단계에서부터 $CO_2$배출량을 저감시키기 위한 방향으로 설계를 유도할 수 있어야 하며, 구조 엔지니어로서 환경성을 고려한 설계안을 제시할 수 있어야 한다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 매입형 합성기둥(SRC)을 대상으로 $CO_2$최적화 기법을 제시하였으며, 이를 통해 얻은 여러 설계단면을 이용하여 SRC기둥의 $CO_2$배출량에 영향을 미치는 3가지 요소((1) 강재 크기, (2) 콘크리트 압축강도, (3) 작용 하중 크기)에 대한 영향관계를 분석하였다.
