The most critical issue in free-form buildings is how to construct the free-formed exterior facade panels. Their geometric complexity delivers many cons and problems in fabricating and constructing their shapes. To construct a free-form building, first of all, its skin has to be chopped into small pieces, which is called panelization. After panelization, the panels go through an optimization process to construct them economically. The panel's geometries are modified or regenerated through this optimization process. In this study, the panel optimization process of free-form buildings are performed through a case study. The panel shapes of the case study are modeled with Digital Project. To test the constructability of the various panels, 8 mock-up panels are made and laser scanning technology is applied to measure the preciseness of the panels manufactured in comparison with their original design.

BIM technology has been used in the domestic AEC field since the middle 2000s. BIM has proved its worth in cutting-edge buildings, mega-buildings and freeform buildings in particular. Many freeform buildings could not be completed due to the low level of construction technique. However, many successful cases emerged after adopting digital technology, including BIM which encouraged architects to challenge freeform designs. The modeling software that can generate the freeform shape are not usually able to build the efficient BIM data type in the AEC industry. In this study a process model of the parametric freeform construction member generation and conversion to BIM data is shown and the prototype system is demonstrated.

Recently, the importance of the construction technology of the free-formed buildings is becoming more significant, as the interest and demand for the free-formed buildings are increasing. However, it takes much time and cost during the construction of free-formed buildings because the current construction technique of freeform concrete segments is manufactured by a formwork. Therefore, in this study, we suggested a new manufacturing process based on the LOM-type 3D printer for freeform concrete segments that can shorten construction time and reduce cost when constructing freeform concrete segments, and we also verified the feasibility of production process through mock-up test. The result shows that the suggested process shortened 47.8% of production time and saved 56.2% of cost compared to the existing steel formwork method. In conclusion, it is expected that the production method of freeform concrete segments using 3D printer will contribute to the improvement of productivity of freeform concrete segments construction and the activation of new construction method for free-formed building construction.

Nowadays the widely used media in architecture include visualizations, animations and three-dimensional models. 3D digital methods using active CAM(Computer Aided Manufacturing) and CNC(Computerized Numerical Control) imaging have been developed for accurate shape and 3D measurements in freeform buildings. In contrast to a conventional building using auto CAD system and others, the proposed digital optimization method is based on a combination of 3D numerical data and parametric 3D model for design and construction. The objective of this paper is therefore to present digital optimization process for constructability of freeform building. The method can be useful in the effective implementation of an error-proofing process of freeform building during design and construction phase. 3D digital coordinate data can be used effectively to identify correct size of structural and finish members and installation location of each members in construction field. In addition, architects, engineers and contractors can evaluate design, materials, constructability and identify error-proofing opportunities. Other project participants can also include representatives from all levels of management, departments as well as workers and key subcontractors' personnel, if necessary. The 3D digital optimization process is therefore appropriate to serious variations in freeform shape. For future study, the developed digital optimization method is necessary to be carried out to verify the robustness and accuracy for constructability in construction field.

A new index for the buckling strength of non-structured plates is proposed. The external work or the deformation energy caused by the external loads or the boundary displacement controled by a load parameter is calculated along an equilibrium path of the member under consideration. If the second variation of the energy with respect to the parameter loses its positiveness, it defined as the limit of the stability. In contrast to the current method given in codes where the stability limit is evaluated by using only representative internal forces, the evaluation of the stability limit is always consistent even with the change of the distribution of the internal forces on the boundary. If the elasticity is concerned, the result from this proposed approach becomes identical to that from the classical methods.

최근 건물형상의 다양화로 인하여 수직부재의 불규칙성이 빈번하게 발생하면서 전통적인 보-기둥 형식의 골조에서 변형된 보와 기둥의 특징을 공유하고 있는 경사기둥의 사용빈도가 높아지고 있다. 현재 국내에서 사용하고 있는 내진설계방법은 강도에 근거를 둔 설계법으로서 구조물이 탄성상태에서 저항해야 하는 부재력에 근거하고 있다. 그러나 기준에서 규정하고 있는 또는 그 이상의 지진하중이 구조물에 가해지는 경우에 구조물은 비선형 거동을 하게 되는데 구조물이 비선형 거동을 할 때에는 탄성상태와는 다른 힘의 흐름을 나타내게 된다. 본 논문에서는 12층 철골 모멘트 골조 구조물에 대하여 횡력에 저항하는 정형화된 골조와 경사기둥을 이용한 골조의 내진성능 및 비선형 거동을 조사하였다. 그 결과 강기둥-약보로 설계된 정형화된 구조물에서는 보의 소성힌지가 계속적으로 발달하면서 구조물이 저항하는데 반하여 경사기둥을 가진 구조물은 비탄성 상태에서 경사기둥에 인접한 기둥부재로 하중이 집중되면서 정형골조에 비하여 붕괴 메카니즘이 훨씬 작은 변위에서 발생하는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 기둥이 제거되는 경우 선형정적해석법을 사용하여 부재력을 산정하고 확률 신경망을 이용하여 그 분포를 파악하였다. 1층 내부기둥이 제거될 경우 다른 부재의 부재력이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났다. 확룰신경망을 이용하여 부재력의 분포를 파악하고 추정하는 것은 연쇄붕괴 시 초고층 건물이나 비정형 건물에 대한 위험부재를 선정하고 파악하는데 시간과 노력을 경감할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Production of freeform concrete segments use various molds because of the unique shape of it unlike common concrete segments. As a result, the mold for freeform concrete segments cannot be reused. Therefor, cost overrun is occurred by needs of more time and manpower to produce the freeform concrete segments compared with common concrete segments. To prevent the cost overrun, a new production method for the freeform concrete segments is needed to develop and the requirements for it should be analyzed before. Therefor, the aim of this study is requirements analysis for production of freeform concrete segment. The requirements of production of freeform concrete segments and form for it is analyzed in this study. The result of this study would be used to suggest the new production method of freeform concrete segments.

비정형 형상의 초고층 건물이 증가함에 따라, 설계 시공 계획 단계에서의 시공 중 건물의 구조적 안정성 검토가 핵심 사항으로 부각되고 있다. 시공 중 비정형 초고층 건물의 안정성을 확보하기 위해서는, 횡력저항시스템이 완전히 형성되기 전 구조체 자중의 불균형 분포에 의해 발생하는 수직부재의 불균등 축소, 골조의 기울어짐 혹은 횡변위 등이 시공단계해석에 의하여 검토되어야 하며, 시공단계해석은 구조건전성모니터링, 시공 보정 프로그램, 시공계획 수립 등과 체계적으로 결합되어 진행되어야 한다. 이 논문은 시공 중 비정형 초고층 건물의 구조 안정성 검토를 위하여, 실제 비정형 초고층 프로젝트에 시공단계해석을 적용하였으며, 시공 중 초고층 건물의 안정성 확보를 위한 주요 검토 항목 및 방법을 제시하였다.
