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%.

건물의 수직부재는 시공 후 시간이 지남에 따라 수축하게 된다. 이러한 현상을 기둥축소 현상이라고 부르며 원인으로는 탄성, 비탄성, 환경적 요인 등 여러 가지가 있다. 각 수직 부재에 걸리는 하중의 종류와 크기, 그리고 처한 환경 등이 다르므로 부재별로 축소량에 차이가 있게 된다. 이로 인하여 건물은 여러 가지 피해를 입게 된다. 이에 따라 수직부재인 기둥과 전단벽의 축소량을 예측하는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나 예측된 축소량을 보정하는 기법에 관한 연구는 그리 많지 않다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 선행 연구되었던 기존의 부등 축소량 보정 기법의 한계에 대하여 지적하고 새로운 보정기법인 평균을 이용한 부등축소량 보정기법을 제시하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 보정기법의 효용성을 입증하기 위하여 같은 예제에 대하여 기존의 방법과 본 논문에서 제시한 방법을 이용한 결과들을 비교, 정리하였다.

The vertical members of structures are shortened as time goes on. Because structures have been high-rising and atypical there should be different axial loads among vertical members and it causes differential column shortenings. The differential column shortening add stresses to connections, make slab tilt, and damage to non-structural components. To reduce these influences compensation is need. The rational compensation means the exact expectation of amounts of column shortenings and the reasonable corrections. The expectation of column shortenings are more exact as researched, however, there is little research about the compensation. This paper presents the average correction method and the constraints for differential column shortenings considering errors due to the construction precision. The relations between constraints and the number of correction groups give an objective criterion for decision of constraints.

본 고에서는 고층건물의 건설과정에서 발생하는 시간의 진행에 따른 기둥의 (장기)변형을 정확히 예측하고 이를 시공중에 보정하도록 함으로써 비구조요소의 강도와 사용을 만족시키기 위한 방법론을 제시하였다. 이 방법론은 실험적 통계치를 기초로 한 약산해법으로서 실무에 쉽게 적용할 수 있다. 52층 RC 건물에 대한 적용 결과 기둥에 발생하는 축소량에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것은 탄성변형이며, 건조수축의 효과가 가장 미세한 것으로 나타났다. 그러나, 2년 이상의 장기 변형이 지속될 경우 크립변형의 영향이 탄성변형에 비해 더욱 증가할 것으로 판단된다. 고층의 RC건물인 경우 기둥간 부등축소량의 최대치(=최대 시공오차)는 중간층 근처에서 발생하는 것으로 나타났다.

Increased height of buildings causes severe shortening of vertical structural members due to the accumulated axial load. It not only decreases the serviceability of a structure but also affects significantly the stability of a structure itself due to the secondary stress. The main purpose of estimating the shortening of vertical structural members is to compensate the differential shortening of adjacent members. This paper presents the comparison of stresses between the vertical structural members compensated during construction process and these compensated during design process under the seismic load and represents that the precise compensation of vertical structural members is important.

The necessity of a high-rise building in big cities gave a new problem to structural engineers. The shortening effect of vertical members needs special considerstion in the desigh and construction of high-rise buildings. The shortening of each column transfers load to nonstructural members such as partitions, cladding, and M/E systems which are not designed to carry gravity loads. Also, the slabs and beams will tilt due to the cumulative differential shortening of adjacent vertical members. The main purpose of estimating the total shortening of vertical structural members is to compensate the differential shortening between adjacent members. This paper presents the structural effect of differential shortening between in main structural members. Lateral earthquake load is applied to the 52 story concrete structure which has an initial vertical displacement due to the gravity load. Shortening amount for each vertical member was estimated using the computerized column shortening software. Comparison of stresses between the shortening corrected structure and the uncorrecated structure due to earthquake load was discussed.

According to the available study and experimental data about the long term behavior of CFT(Concrete Filled Tube) columns, the creep and of concrete in CFT columns are smaller than those of RC columns because of the confinement effect of outer steel columns. In this study, the uncertainties associated with assumed values for concrete properties such as strength, creep coefficients, and service load have been considered and analyzed for the prediction of time-dependent column shortening of CFT column. The CFT column shortening analysis using Monte Carlo method is proposed and an of a 37 story tall building with CFT columns is studied for illustration. According to the results obtained by the probability analysis with multi parameters, the effect of variation coefficient for 3 parameters is investigated considering confidence interval.

Although steel-reinforced concrete(SRC) is widely used in a high-rise building, a methods used to predict the column shortening of SRC structural members has many problems in applying a theoretical equation which considers only the material characteristics of reinforced concrete. In this study, the degree of accuracy of the existing method calculating the column shortening of a high-rise building is examined. For this, first, the actual measurement data are chosen about the column shortening of a high-rise building established with SRC structural members. Then the column shortening of a SRC structural member is calculated through computer program. Finally, the comparison between the measurement data and the analytical ones is executed. According to this study, it can be concluded that there is little difference between the former and the latter. Therefore, the existing method can be used to evaluate the column shortening of a high-rise building using a SRC structural members.

Many small area estimation methods have been suggested. Also for the comparison of the estimation methods, model diagnostic checking techniques have been studied. Almost all of the small area estimators were developed by minimizing MSE(Mean square error) and so the MSE is the well-known comparison criterion for superiority. In this paper we suggested a new small area estimator based on minimizing MSPE(Mean square percentage error) which is recently re-highlighted. Also we compared the new suggested estimator with the estimators explained in Shin et al. (2007) using MSE, MSPE and other diagnostic checking criteria.

With the recent emergence of high rise buildings, this study was conducted in order to examine shortening, which has been used only in civil engineering structures, in such buildings. Examination of the shortening of vertical members is basically focused on deformations caused by load applied to concrete, material characteristics, etc. Shortening is analyzed through calculating parameters from the factors or characteristics of concrete, but analysis in the aspect of material tests has been somewhat unsatisfactory. Thus, this study purposed to analyze basic material test items for correcting the shortening of vertical members, namely, columns, to determine the reliability of material tests before parameter calculation for correcting shortening, and to examine the performance of material tests.
