Although many studies have been conducted to extract buildings from airborne lidar data, most of them assume that all the boundaries of a building are straight line segments. This makes it difficult to model building boundaries containing curved segments correctly. This paper aims to model buildings containing curved segments as combination of straight lines and arcs. First, two sets of boundary points are extracted by adaptive convex hull algorithm and local convex hull algorithm with a larger radius. Then, arc segments are determined by average spacing of boundary points and intersection ratio of perpendicular lines. Finally, building boundary is modeled through regularization of least squares line or circle fitting. The experimental results showed that the proposed method can model the curved building boundaries as arc segments correctly by completeness of 69% and correctness of 100%. The approach will be utilized effectively to create automatically digital map that meets the conditions of the Korean digital mapping.

Drift design is one of the core techniques in the structural design of high-rise buildings and resizing technique is regarded as a practical drift design method for high-rise buildings. In the resizing technique, the structural weight is re-distributed to minimize the target displacement without a change in structural weights. However, the structural weight determined from resizing algorithm is bound to the structural weight based on the preliminary design. Therefore, in this paper, a drift design method that can control the weight of the structure without causing drift control performance to deteriorate is proposed by incorporating the weight control factor in the formulation of resizing algorithm. The proposed drift design method is applied to the drift design of two frame-shear wall systems. The proposed drift design method, in this study, makes it possible to control both the drift and weight of a high-rise building.

Passive energy dissipation systems for seismic applications have been under development for a number of years with a rapid increase in implementations starting in the mid-1990s in many countries. A metallic hysteretic damper has most commonly been used for seismic protection of structures in domestic area because they present high energy-dissipation potential at relatively low cost and easy to install and maintain. This paper presents an analytical case study of the effectiveness of isotropic hysteretic metallic damper(IHMD) called Kagome as a passive dissipative device in reducing structural response during seismic excitation. An eighteen-story RC framed apartment building is studied with and without IHMD. Results demonstrate the feasibility of these techniques for seismic mitigation. The inclusion of supplemental passive energy dissipation devices in the form of IHMD proved to be a very effective method for significantly reducing the seismic response of the building investigated.

This study set its bases needed for building fire risk analysis by examining general concept and definitions of fire risk analysis, and its access methods. Upon this basis, by using a computer program FREM, we brought the type of hazards out of the fire risk assessment applied to the typical 100 high-rise buildings in and out of this country. In this process, we also sorted out the programs arising from the application of a foreign born tool to domestic conditions. the credibility of fire separations and automatic fire protection system in a building would be the two most important things in an attempt to evaluate fire risk in high-rise buildings. In addition, it is vital for the purpose of securing fire safety in high-rise buildings that the systems should be properly installed and carefully maintained. When we try hard to study the evaluation standards to the above systems and, someday in the future, to employ them in evaluating fire risks in high-rise buildings, we can measure the risks much more precisely with less expenses than that we needed today.

우리 나라의 주거 건물의 많은 부분을 차지하는 조적조 건물은 저층이므로 내진 설계에 대한 지침이 마련되어 있지 않다. 그러나 조적조 건물의 경우 저층이라 하더라도 구조특성상 수평하중에 대한 저항능력이 매우 약하므로 내진 설계에 대한 기준이 요구된다. 일반적으로 내진설계 시 동적 해석을 수행하면 많은 시간이 소모되므로 실무자들에게 등가정적해석법을 제시하여 내진설계 시 편의를 제공하고 있다. 그러나 저층 조적조 건물은 일반적인 건물과는 거동 특성이 다르므로 저층 조적조 건물에 적용할 수 있는 해석법을 제시하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 개구부의 비율에 따른 조적벽의 연성도, 강도 및 고유주기를 구하여 반응수정계수와 고유주기를 비교하여 우리 나라의 조적조 건물에 적합한 반응수정계수와 고유주기 산정식을 제안하였다.

This paper presents a method to detect buildings using shadow information in satellite imagery. We classify image into three categories of building region, shadow region and background region to find buildings with consistent intensity. After the removal of noises in building regions and shadow regions, buildings adjacent to shadow regions are detected using the constraint of building and shadow sizes. The algorithm has been applied to KOMPSAT and SPOT images and the result showed buildings are efficiently detected.

준공 후 상당한 시간이 지나 내진설계가 되지 않았거나 내진상세가 이루어지지 않은 건물의 부족한 내진성능을 보완하기 위한 방법의 하나로 좌굴이 제한된 가새형 댐퍼를 적용할 수 있다. 이 방법을 적용할 경우, 기존 내진보강법의 불확실성을 줄일 수 있었음에도 불구하고, 댐퍼의 설계과정이 복잡하여 실무에 적용하기 어려웠다. 그러나 본 원고에서는 강성과 강도개념을 적용한 댐퍼의 설계법을 적용함으로써, 실무에서 쉽게 적용할 수 있도록 하였다. 준공된 지 16년이 지난 비틀림 비정형 건물에 대한 내진성능을 평가한 후, 가새형 댐퍼로 보강한 결과는 다음과 같다. (1) 일방향해석결과 나타난 골조별 하중-지붕변위의 관계를 이용하여, 연약골조의 강성을 강한 골조의 강성과 일치시키고, 이 강성비로부터 댐퍼가 부담하는 최적의 내력비율을 정하여 내진보강을 수행한 결과, 가새를 설치한 방향으로는 가새형댐퍼가 비틀림 방지와 연성증대효과를 구조물에 부여하여 성능이 획기적으로 증가하였다. 또한, 그 가새의 직각방향 하중에 대해서도 가새를 설치함으로써 비틀림 강성이 증가하고, 가새와 코어벽체가 인장과 압축으로 횡력에 저항하여 횡저항 성능이 증가하였다. (2) 내진성능이 부족한 비틀림 비정형 건물의 내진성능을 증진시키기 위해 가새형 댐퍼를 적용함에 있어, 댐퍼의 강성을 이용하여 구조체의 비틀림 거동을 최소화하고, 연성을 증진시키는 방법을 체택할 경우, 실무자들이 보다 쉽게 적용할 수 있으면서 그 효과도 상당히 클 것으로 기대된다.

The interoperability of multi-source data has become more important due to various digital maps, produced from public institutions and enterprises. In this study, the automatic matching algorithm of multi-source building data using hierarchical matching was proposed. At first, we divide digital maps into blocks and perform the primary geometric registration of buildings with the ICP algorithm. Then, corresponding building pairs were determined by evaluating the similarity of overlap area, and the matching threshold value of similarity was automatically derived by the Otsu binary thresholding. After the first matching, we extracted error matching candidates buildings which are similar with threshold value to conduct the secondary ICP matching and to make a matching decision using turning angle function analysis. For the evaluation, the proposed method was applied to representative public digital maps, road name address map and digital topographic map 2.0. As a result, the F measures of matching and non-matching buildings increased by 2% and 17%, respectively. Therefore, the proposed method is efficient for the matching of building polygons from multi-source digital maps.

The space between urban buildings becomes a waterway during rain events and requires a boundary condition in numerical calculations on grids to separate overland storm flows from building areas. Minimization of the building data distortion as a boundary condition is a necessary step for generating accurate calculation results. A building generalization is used to reduce the distortion of building shapes and areas during a raster conversion. The objective of this study was to provide the appropriate threshold value for building generalization and grid size in a numerical calculation. The impact of building generation on the connectivity of urban storm waterways were analyzed for a general residential area. The building generalization threshold value and the grid size for numerical analysis were selected as the independent variables for analysis, and the number and area of sinks were used as the dependent variables. The values for the building generalization threshold and grid size were taken as the optimal values to maximize the building area and minimize the sink area. With a 3 m generalization threshold, sets of $5{\times}5m$ to $10{\times}10m$ caused 5% less building area and 94.4% more sink area compared to the original values. Two sites representing general residential area types 2 and 3 were used to verify building generalization thresholds for improving the connectivity of storm waterways. It is clear that the recommended values are effective for reducing the distortion in both building and sink areas.

Predicting how much energy to use is an important issue in society. However, it is more difficult to capture the usage characteristics of residential buildings than other buildings. This paper provides time series analysis methods for electricity consumption in a residential building. Temperature is closely related to electricity demand. An error correction model, which is a method of adjusting the error with time, is applied when a cointegration relation is established between variables. Therefore, we analyze data via ECMs with consideration of the temperature effect.
