This study is an Investigation on the Watertightness Properties of Rain-Block System on the Sliding-Roof Joint of Large-Span Membrane Structures. In this experimental, we test the watertightness performance of joint part of sliding door in roof of large span membrane structure(for pilot project) under environment of rain and wind. A shape of rain water blocking systems of joint part in sliding door verifies the defects and effects of water leakage prevention in precipitation with the wind conditions. For obtaining watertightness of large span membrane structures, it is necessary quality of joints and performance, and quality of membrane material of a retractable roof as well as a closed roof. Also, for obtaining quality in joints, it is essential to make a watertightness guideline for design of large-span membrane.

Generally most sluice gates are closed and opened by a mechanical winch, a winch using an oil-pressure, or a winch mixing both. Because of their size and structure, they should be safely operated with more than two pulling devices helping each other. At the moment of their opening and closing, there usually occur some additional loads to the structure which cannot be exactly measurable at the stage of designing. Such additional loads can cause the sluice gate to be unbalanced and make it hard to open and close the gate, and by also overloading a winch, they can inflict a significant damage to the safety of the sluice gate. This paper explains a FDC(Force-Displacement Control) system which simultaneously considered the oil-pressure and displacement in order to evenly distribute the force and make a winch balanced at the opening and closing motion. This FDC system was implemented by means of the PID(Proportional Integral Derivative) function of XG 5000 program. It was experimented on a model of the sluice gate winch with the hydraulic oil pressure cylinder. The experiments showed that the developed FDC system made the winch of hydraulic oil pressure cylinder open and close cooperatively in spite of various external loads. Therefore the FDC system is proven effective when it is applied to a winch of sluice gate.

The retractable roof structure is used in various fields and it is classified for steel retractable system and soft retractable system. For the domestic industry, it is in the initial phase now and the demand of the retractable roof structure is expected to increase in the future. Therefore, this paper is classified for steel retractable system and soft retractable system from the retractable roof structures in overseas to survey and analyze the cases of wind velocity on retractable roof structure in Japan that uses the same wind velocity criteria like Korea regarding the open-close time and average open-close time for retractable roof area.

A retractable-roof spatial structure is frequently used for a stadium and sports hall. A retractable-roof spatial structure allows natural lighting, ventilation, optimal conditions for grass growth with opened roof. It can also protects users against various weather conditions and give optimal circumstances for different activities. Dynamic characteristics of a retractable-roof spatial structure is changed based on opened or closed roof condition. A tuned mass damper (TMD) is widely used to reduce seismic responses of a structure. When a TMD is properly tuned, its control performance is excellent. Opened or closed roof condition causes dynamic characteristics variation of a retractable-roof spatial structure resulting in off-tuning. This dynamic characteristics variation was investigated. Control performance of a passive TMD and a smart TMD were evaluated under off-tuning condition.
