Structural optimization is performed to minimize the weight of a RC building structure, which has eight floors above ground and three underground, under gravity, wind, and seismic loads. Design optimization problem is formulated to find the values of the design variables that minimize the volume while satisfying various design and side constraints. To solved the optimization problem posed, several design techniques equipped in PIAnO, a commercial PIDO tool, are used. DOE is used to generate training points and structural analysis is performed using MIADS Gen, a general-purpose structural analysis CAE tool. Then, meta-models are generated from structural analysis results and accuracies of meta-models are evaluated. Next, design optimization is performed by using the verified meta-models and optimization technique equipped in PIAnO. Finally, we obtained optimal results, which could demonstrate the effectiveness of our design method.

타워크레인은 빌딩, 아파트, 교하공간이 높은 교량, 플랜트 공사 등 고소작업이 이루어지는 공사에서 유익하게 사용되는·건설장비이다 타워크레인은 단면에 비하여 그 설치높이가 높아서 매우 세장한 구조물이며, 마스트 상부에 설치되어 있는 상부구조물(타워 해드, 지브, 카운터 지브, 카운터 웨이트, 기계장치 등)의 자중이 매우 크기 때문에 하중균형, 풍하중, 인양하중 등에 아주 민감한 강구조물이다. 따라서 이러한 타워크레인의 특성에 대한 이해의 부족과 안전한 작업방법의 불이행 등으로 인한 사고가 가끔 발생되고 있으며, 타워크레인의 사고는 곧바로 중대재해로 이어지고 있다.(중략)

교량의 주탑, 초고층빌딩과 같이 세장비가 큰 대형구조물의 경우 풍하중에 취약한 특성을 지니고 있어서 바람에 의해 직각 방향으로 발산 진동하는 갤로핑(galloping) 현상이 발생하게 된다. 구조물의 진동을 억제하려는 방안으로 단면 형상에 변화를 주어 공기역학적 불안정성을 감소시키는 방법이 사용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 Edison_CFD를 이용하여 모서리 절단부의 비율과 받음각에 따른 공기력 특성에 대한 전산해석을 수행하였다.

This study used 3D computational fluid dynamics (CFD) in the ENVI-met program to investigate how particulate matters (PM) generated on roads disperse through adjacent urban neighborhoods according to the urban development pattern. An urban area centered on a six-lane road in the vicinity of Miryang City Hall in Gyeongnam Province was selected to simulate the effect of the green space and building height on the PM concentration. The ENVI-met model considered the presence of green space and different building heights (high/low) on both sides of the road to examine the dispersion of PM. The result showed that the area of high-rise buildings and green space had the lowest PM concentration dispersed to the adjacent area, followed by the area of high-rise buildings and no green space. In contrast, the PM concentration remained relatively high for low-rise buildings, regardless of the green space. The reason for the low PM concentration in the area with high-rise buildings was a strong building wind, which caused PM to disperse to the outside, lowering the PM concentration quickly. These results indicate that the PM can disperse faster, and the PM concentration remains low in the urban neighborhood. On the other hand, green space had no significant effect on reducing PM in the urban neighborhood. In particular, when there are low-rise buildings on both sides of the road, the green space has no effect on the PM concentration in the urban neighborhood. Since this study considered only the case of PM emitted from the road, future studies should investigate other factors to figure out the dispersion model of PM and conduct on-site experiments.

In this paper, the wind-induced response characteristics of freeform shaped tall building is studied by using FSI analysis. The analytical models are twist shaped ones at representing type of atypical tall building, and this study focused on the relationship between twist angle and wind acceleration. Firstly, 1-way FSI analysis is performed, so maximum lateral displacement of the analytical model for 100 years return period wind speed is calculated, then the elastic modulus of a structure that satisfies the constraints condition is evaluated. And 2-way FSI analysis is carried out. so acceleration of the analytical model for the evaluated modulus of elasticity and arbitrary density is predicted through time history analysis. The basic model is a set of a square shape, height is 400m, slenderness ratio is 8, and twist model is rotated at square model from 0 to 90 degrees at intervals of 15 degrees and from 90 to 360 degrees at intervals of 90 degrees. According to the result of predicting wind acceleration by the shape of each model, the wind vibration effect of square shape model is confirmed to be sensitive more than a twist shape ones.

This paper evaluated the safety and serviceability of a building structure considering the multi-hazard and proposed TMD-based adaptive smart control system to improve the structural performance. To make multi-hazard loads, an artificial earthquake and artificial wind loads were generated based on representative regions of strong seismicity and strong wind in U.S.A. The safety and serviceability of a 20-story example building structure were investigated using the generated artificial loads. A smart TMD was employed to improve the safety and serviceability of the example structure and its capacity of structural performance improvement was evaluated. The smart TMD was comprised of a MR (magnetorheological) damper. Numerical analysis showed that the example building structure could not satisfy the design limit of safety and serviceability with respect to multi-hazard. The smart TMD effectively reduced the seismic responses associated with the safety and wind-induce responses associated with serviceability.

도시화가 진행됨에 따라 고층아파트와 고층빌딩 등 지형지물의 변화가 많이 일어나고 있다. 지형지물의 변화는 강풍 발생의 원인으로 작용하며 풍속은 풍상측 지형지물의 영향으로 같은 속도의 바람이 불어올지라도 그 값이 증가 또는 감소한다. 설계기준에서는 이러한 변화를 지표면조도로 정의하고 지표면 상태에 따라 구분하고 있지만 실제 건설지점의 지표면조도를 구분하기 위한 연구와 자료는 거의 전무한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 최근 고층아파트가 많이 건설된 연구지역을 대상으로 실제 건축물 수직높이에 따른 지표면조도를 GIS프로그램을 이용하여 구분함으로써 풍하중 풍속설계 시 정확한 지표면조도 구분을 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

Wind tunnels tests have been evaluating wind load estimation by discussing the most important design elements in very tall buildings. Such tests have some uncertainties, however, with respect to the data of the reduced model and the calculated empirical values. In contrast, CFD analysis can simulate the actual scale and shorten the time of simulation. Nevertheless, the utilization of CFD analysis is negligible because of its low reliability. In this paper, the reliability of CFD analysis will be proven by comparing the results of a wind tunnel test and CFD analysis for the prototype models shown in previous studies. The effect of the turbulence intensity on the reliability is also presented.

This paper studies the wind pressure distribution over the Commonwealth Advisory Aeronautical Council building model (CAARC model) using CFD. We also considered the interaction between the CAARC model and other buildings. The Reynolds number based on the building height was 380,000. The number of sells for the simulation was about 500,000. The wind pressure was lowest when the wind direction was blowing at an angle 45 degrees of the CAARC model. When the gap between the two buildings in front of the CAARC was over 1/2 the horizontal length of the CAARC model, the wind pressure was higher than the pressure without the two buildings. When the distance between the two front buildings and the CAARC was less than 1.5 times the vertical length of the CAARC model, the wind pressure increased. Accordingly, the relative distance between two buildings or the distance from the CAARC model should be considered when extra wind exists due to other buildings.
