The thermal bridge occurring in a building influences its thermal performance and durability. The domestic typical multi-unit residential buildings suffer thermal losses resulting from thermal bridges of the balcony slab. To minimize the thermal loss between inside and outside of the balcony slab, thermal bridge breaker(TBB) systems have been developed and applied in building construction. Although thermal bridge breaker systems for reinforced concrete(RC) wall-slab joints can improve the thermal performance of a building, it is necessary to verify the structural performance of TBB systems whether they provide proper resistance for cyclic loading. In order to investigate the structural characteristics of TBB systems embedded in RC slabs, cyclic tests of wall-slab joints were performed by applying two reversed cycles at each up to 30 cycles. The test results show that the RC slabs embedding TBBS systems can present excellent structural performance and the maximum moment capacity, energy dissipation capacity and ductility of TBBs systems are enhanced compared to those of the typical RC slabs.

Recently, thermal bridge breaker systems(TBBSs) applicable to RC slab-wall connections have been increasingly studied and proposed. This study also aims at proposing an analytic model which is applicable to predicting the flexural behavior of TBBS embedded in slabs from the initial elastic stages, yield states to ultimate conditions. The analytic models are developed by considering strain compatibility, force equilibrium and the constitutive law obtained from material test results. To verify the accuracy of the proposed analytic model, the moment-curvature relationship and change of neutral axis according to the loading states are compared with those of experimental results. Based on the comparison, it is verified that the proposed analytic model provides well predict the flexural behavior of TBBS embedded in slabs.

To realize a zero-energy building, a technology that minimizes the energy loss due to thermal bridges by preventing their formation is emerging as an important design factor. In this study, we develop a thermal bridge breaker to prevent thermal bridging in a metal panel roof and attempt to analyze the effects of its application. To this end, we fabricated a thermal bridge breaker and analyzed it in terms of its strength and heat-transfer characteristics, in addition to conducting a load simulation. The thermal bridge prevention effect of the developed thermal bridge breaker improved the insulation performance of the metal panel roof, and the results of a cooling/heating peak load simulation performed by applying the heat transmission resistance test results to a building proved the existence of this effect.

본 연구에서는 기존 교육시설에 설치된 알루미늄 합금 창의 2차원 정상상태 전열해석을 통한 열성능 평가를 수행하였다. 교육시설의 주요 창호재료로 적용된 알루미늄은 열전도율이 $175 \;Kcal/m^2h^{\circ}C$ 정도로 플라스틱 소재와 비교하여 매우 불리하여 기존 시설에 설치된 알루미늄 창호는 열손실의 주요인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 점에 착안하여 충남 서산지방에 위치한 대학건물의 알루미늄 합금 창호의 열성능 평가에 관한 연구를 수행하여 다음과 같은 해석 결과를 도출하였다. (1) 2차원 정상상태 전열해석을 위한 경계조건은 국토해양부고시 건축물의 에너지절약설계기준의 [별표 6] 중부지방 냉난방장치의 용량계산을 위한 설계 외기온 기준과 [별표 7]의 실내온도 기준을 적용하여 여름철 실내 $27^{\circ}C$, 실외 $31.3^{\circ}C$, 겨울철 실내 $21.0^{\circ}C$, 실외 $-9.6^{\circ}C$ 로 설정하고 해석한 결과 열관류율은 알루미늄 합금 창호는 $U=9.631 \;W/m^2K$, 복층유리 $U= 2.382 \;W/m^2K$로 여름철과 겨울철 동일한 해석결과치가 산출되었다. (2) 산출된 열관류율 해석결과를 건축물의 에너지절약설계기준 [별표 3] 열교차단재가 적용되지 않은 금속제 창의 단열성능 중 일반복층창 성능기준인 $4.0 \;W/m^2K$와 비교할 때, 알루미늄 창틀을 통하여 225%의 열량이 손실됨을 보여 주고 있다.

This study focused to evaluate thermal transmittance(U-value) performance of sliding type of aluminum alloy window frame(AAWF) with double glazing(DG) and glazing spacer and that without thermal breaker in winter and summer season by two dimensional steady state heat transfer analysis. The AAWE was installed to an existing educational facilities in Seosan area which is the southern region of the Korean Peninsula. Analysis of 2D steady-state heat transfer was performed through the use of BISCO as calculation and simulation program. U-value and temperature factors were calculated. The results are as followed. First, the isotherm simulation shows that AAWF with double glazing have serious differences from recently proposed window thermal performance standards such as Insulation Performance of Windows and Doors of Building Energy Saving Design Standards and the results of calculation of thermal transmittance performance of AAWF and DG are U=9.631 W/$m^2K$, U=2.382 W/$m^2K$ respectively during winter and summer season. Second, the results of analysis of heat transfer analysis, calculated by simulation, shows that 225% of heat is lost comparing with thermal performance standards U=4.0 W/$m^2K$ of general double glazing among those standards on AAWF without thermal breaker.
