In this seismic analyses of structures, it is well recognized that the effects of soil-structure interaction can not be ignored and seismic responses of a structure taking into account the stiffnesses of a foundation-soil system show the significant difference from those with a rigid base. However, current seismic analyses of apartment building structures were carried out with the rigid base ignoring the characteristics of the foundation and the properties of the underlying soil. In this study, seismic analyses of wall-slob type apartment buildings which have a particular structural type were carried out taking into account the soft soil layer comparing seismic response spectra of a flexible base with those of a rigid base and UBC-97. Low-rise or middle height wall-slab type apartment buildings built on the deep soft soil layer showed a rigid body motion with the reduced seismic responses due to the base isolation effect, indicating that it is considerably safe but uneconomical to utilize the design spectra of UB-97 for the seismic design of wall-slab type apartment buildings due to conservative design.

A common form of construction for apartment buildings consists of walls and coupling elements. But, the structural behavior of coupling elements are very complex and affected by the properties of coupling elements. The objective of this study is to estimate the behavior of coupling elements in wall-dominant systems. For the purpose of this study, two wall-slab specimens and two wall-beam specimens were tested. The specimens with different reinforcement layouts were subjected to reversed cyclic loading, consistent with coupling action, with increasing imposed inelastic deformations. From the results of this study, 1) in coupling slabs, the stresses were not uniform across the width, 2) the effective width of coupling slabs was found smaller than that of predicted from previous studies, 3) diagonally reinforced coupling beam with slab showed larger ductility and more amount of energy dissipation to be attained compared with conventionally reinforced coupling beam.

A remarkable discrepancy of lateral deformation of shear wall structures for seismic loads due to a rigid diaphragm assumption without floor slab modelling asks a study how much effective the slab stiffness ratio is to the lateral behaviour. Typical shear wall type 15 stories structure is selected to analysis using MIDAS-ADS2008 commercial softwares modelling three types; 1) rigid diaphragm (RD model) 2) considered out-of plane slab flexural stiffness (DB model), and 3) considered in and out of plane slab flexural stiffness (SRC model). Based on National Code of KBC2005, the Equivalent Static and Response Spectrum seismic analysis are undertaken to compare each responses of the three models. The differences of lateral responses due to the three slab stiffness ratios applied on the models are compared and discussed.

This study attempts to identify the ways of reducing the floor impact sound, by applying six different types of the reinforced bar girders and stirrup arrangements to the Structure: (1) the longer-direction girder arrangements (2) the shorter-direction girder arrangements (3) the diagonal-direction arrangements (4) the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups (5) the shorter-direction girder arrangements with stirrups (6) the diagonal-direction arrangements with stirrups. In order to identify the most effective structural changes, each slab was tested with bang machines, measuring the level of the sound impact. The results showed that the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups were the most effective one. In addition, the effectiveness of slab was found to be remarkable, showing the level of minimum 1dB to maximum 5dB, where the slab was compared with the control models without girders and stirrups. In conclusion, it is suggested that the longer-direction girder arrangements with stirrups could possibly be applied to the Wall Structures to minimize the floor impact sound.

It is necessary to develop reliable but simple analytical models to predict the nonlinear response of reinforced concrete wall structures. In this study, experimental results on the cyclic reversed lateral behaviors of reinforced concrete shear wall assemblages are simulated analytically by using the wall, beam, and column models available in the PERFORM 3D program. Through the comparison of experimental and analytical results, the reliability and limitations of the analysis are evaluated. In addition, the information, which could not be obtained experimentally, such as the internal flow of force, the contribution of the flange walls, and the resisting mechanism of the walls with the contribution of the coupling beam, is provided.

In the bearing wall systems, a form work has a lot of room that saves cost because it takes a substantial proportion of construction cost. Therefore the systemic and efficient methods are required in the form work. This study focuses on methods that enhance the quality and the productivity of form work and presents the kicker form as an alternative plan to simplify the form work through being modular and automatical it. Work sampling method is used for productivity measurement. It is expected that it will reduce the work process and improve the Qualify and the podructivity of construction.

LH applies a uniformly standardized PHC Pile to 15~25 stories of Shear-wall type Apartment Building. Recently it is predicted that LH will construct over 30~40 story Apartment Building to keep varied project condition and faces urgent needs to save construction cost for improving its competitiveness. Therefore, structural analysis and design on the upper part and foundation of apartment building were carried out in this study by subdividing story of apartment building, e.g. 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 stories. Reflecting the result of basement analysis and design, the economic evaluations are performed and the optimum diameters of PHC piles are suggested. The result of this paper is considered to be applied usefully for foundation design of LH apartment housing, and the suggested PHC Piles can be used effectively by increasing efficiency and saving the construction cost of foundation.

Accurate prediction of time-dependent column shortening is essential for tall buildings in both strength and serviceability aspects. The uncertainty associated with assumed values for concrete properties such as strength, creep, and shrinkage coefficients should be considered for the prediction of time-dependent column shortening of tall concrete buildings. In this study, the column shortenings of 41-story tall concrete building are predicted using monte carlo simulation technique based on the probabilistic analysis. The probabilistic column shortenings considering confidence intervals are compared with the actual column shortenings by field measurement. The time-dependent strains measured at tall bearing wall building were generally lower than the predicted strains and the measured values fell within a range ${\mu}-1.64$, confidence level 90%.

FE 해석은 구조물의 고유진동수 판단 및 거동 예측 등에 사용되며 따라서 실구조물과 동일하게 FE 해석모델을 작성할수록 실제 구조물의 고유진동수 및 거동을 정확하게 예측할 수 있다. 그러나 실 구조물과 동일하게 모델링 하는 것이 어렵기 때문에 FE 해석을 통해 예측한 구조물의 고유진동수와 실제 구조물의 고유진동수는 차이가 발생한다. FE 해석을 통한 고유진동수에 대하여 정확성을 판단할 수 있는 방법은 실제 계측을 통하여 얻은 고유진동수와 비교하는 것이다. 따라서 본 연구는 미진동하의 구조물에 대하여 계측을 실시함으로써 대상건물의 고유진동수를 파악하고, 실제 고유진동수에 대한 FE 해석의 고유진동수 비교를 통하여 FE 해석의 정확도를 판단하였다.
