As increase of height and slenderness of buildings, serviceability design criteria such as maximum lateral drift and wind-induced vibration level play an important role in structural design of high-rise buildings. Especially, wind-induced vibration is directly related to discomfort of occupants. However, no practical algorithm or design method is available for structural designers to control the acceleration level due to wind. This paper presented a control method for wind-induced vibration of high-rise buildings using the resizing algorithm. The level of vibration due to wind is calculated by well known estimation rules of ASCE 7-02, NBCC 95, SAA83, and Solari method. Based on the fact that the level of wind-induced vibration is inversely proportional to the magnitude of natural periods of buildings, in the design method, natural periods of a high-rise building are modified by redistribution of structural weight according to the resizing algorithm. The design method is applied to wind-induced vibration control design of real 42-story residential building and evaluated the efficiency and effectiveness.

본 논문에서는 TLD와 TLCD를 사용한 하나의 액체 감쇠기를 이용하여 건물의 양방향 응답 제어를 연구하였다. 초고층 건물이 풍하중을 받을때는 풍방향과 풍직각방향으로 진동하여 두 개의 댐퍼를 필요로 한다. 이 논문에서 제안된 댐퍼는 건물의 양방향 응답을 하나의 감쇠기로 제어할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 이 댐퍼의 TLCD는 건물의 주축방향으로 TLD는 주축으로 직각되는 다른 방향으로 거동을 하게 된다. 실험을 통해 양방향 감쇠기를 사용하여 건물의 양방향 응답제어를 증명하였다. 첫 번째로 양방향 감쇠기에 의한 건물의 응답제어를 알기 위한 진동대 실험을 실시하였다. 진동대 가속도를 입력으로 하고 단자유도 건물의 가속도를 출력으로 하는 전달함수를 통해 결과를 나타내었다. 실험 결과 이 연구에서 제안된 감쇠기는 단자유도 건물의 양방향 응답을 제어하였고, 비틀림 응답도 제어 하였다.

본 연구에서는 점탄성감쇠기가 설치된 비비례 감쇠 구조물의 바람에 대한 확률적 응답을 진동수영역에서 구하였다. 복소수 고유치 및 고유백터를 바탕으로 모드중첩법을 이용하여 응답의 RMS 값을 구하고 그것을 근사적인 방법인 모드 변형에너지법에서 얻은 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 가력 진동수에 따라서 변하는 점탄성감쇠기의 강성 및 감쇠 계수를 상수로 모형화하였을 때의 풍응답 해석 결과의 정확성을 진동수영역에서 검증하였다. 해석결과에 의하면 감쇠기의 진동수 의존 특성은 구조물의 1차 고유 진동수에 의해서 비교적 정확하게 표현되었고, 모드 변형에너지법은 대체로 정확한 결과를 도출하였지만, 가속도 응답을 구할 때에는 다소 큰 오차를 유발하였다.

The purpose of this study is to accurately estimate the wind-induced responses of a tall building structure for using the estimated responses in the process of calculating the optimal force of an active control device. Kalman filter was used for the estimation process and a 3-storied model structure on a shaking table was tested for the verification of the estimation accuracy. The system matrices of the model were constructed based on the mode parameters obtained by the system identification. The estimated displacement matched up well with the measured one. Finally, the wind-induced responses of a real 39-storied building structure excited by the typhoon MUIFA were estimated.

In this paper, a practical control method of wind-induced vibration of high-rise buildings is presented in the form of resizing algorithm. In the structural design process for high-rise buildings, the lateral load resisting system for the building is more often determined by serviceability design criteria including wind-induced vibration level. Even though many drift method have been developed in various forms, no practical design method for wind induced vibration has been developed so far. Structural engineers rely upon heuristic or experience in designing wind induced vibration. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated by comparing wind-induced vibration levels estimated both from approximate techniques and wind tunnel test.

In this study, an optimization method using multi-objective genetic algorithm(MOGA) has been proposed to develop a fuzzy control algorithm that can effectively control a smart tuned mass damper(TMD). A 76-story benchmark building subjected to wind load was selected as an example structure. The smart TMD consists of 100kN MR damper and the natural period of the smart TMD was tuned to the first mode natural period of the example structure. Damping force of MR damper is controlled to reduce the wind-induced responses of the example structure by a fuzzy logic controller. Two input variables of the fuzzy logic controller are the acceleration of 75th floor and the displacement of the smart TMD and the output variable is the command voltage sent to MR damper. Multi-objective genetic algorithm(NSGA-II) was used for optimization of the fuzzy logic controller and the acceleration of 75th story and the displacement of the smart TMD were used as objective function. After optimization, a series of fuzzy logic controllers which could appropriately reduce both wind responses of the building and smart TMD were obtained. Based on numerical results, it has been shown that the control performance of the smart TMD is much better than that of the passive TMD and it is even better than that of the sample active TMD in some cases.

In order to analytically evaluate buffeting responses, the analysis of wind characteristics such as turbulence intensity, turbulence length, gust, roughness coefficient, etc must be a priority. Static aerodynamic force coefficients, flutter coefficients, structural damping ratios, aerodynamic damping ratios and natural frequencies affect the analytical responses. The bridge interested in this paper has being been used for 32 years. As the time passes, current terrain conditions around the bridge are different markedly from the conditions it was built 32 years ago. Also, wind environments were considerably varied by the climate change. For this reason, it is necessary to evaluate the turbulence intensity, length, spectrum and roughness coefficient of the bridge site from full-scale measurements using the structural health monitoring system. The evaluation results indicate that wind characteristics of bridge site is analogous to that of open terrain although the bridge is located on the coastal area. To calculate buffeting responses, the analysis variables such as damping ratios, static aerodynamic force coefficients and natural frequency were evaluated from measured data. The analysis was performed with regard to 4 cases. The evaluated variables from measured data are applied to the first and second analysis cases. And the other analysis cases were performed based on Design Guidelines for Steel Cable Supported Bridges. The calculated responses of each analysis cases are compared with the buffeting response measured at less than 25m/s wind speed. It is verified that the responses by the numerical analysis applying the estimated variables based on full-scale measurements are well agreed with the measured actual buffeting responses under wind speed 25m/s. Also, the extreme wind speed corresponding to a recurrence interval 200 years is derived from Gumbel distribution. The derived wind speed for return period of 200 years is 45m/s. Therefore the buffeting responses at wind speed 45m/s is determined by the analysis applying the estimated variables.

This study deals with the experiments of liquid dampers with multi cells whose vertical tubes are divided into several square columns for easily changing natural frequencies. Shaking table test is performed to verify control effectiveness of the dampers which are installed on a building structure. To design liquid dampers, a 64-story building structure is reduced to a SDOF structure with 1/20 of similitude laws based on acceleration. The structure model is made up to adjust its mass and stiffness easily, with separate mass and drive parts. Mass parts indicate real structure's weights and drive parts indicate real structure's stiffness with springs and LM guides. Manufactured liquid damper has 18 cells and its natural frequency ranges are 0.65Hz to 0.81Hz. Shaking table test is carried out with one way excitation to compare with only accelerations of a large-scale structure and a structure installed with liquid dampers. Control performance of the liquid damper is expressed by the transfer function from shaking table accelerations to the large-scale structure ones. Testing results show that the liquid damper reduced a large-scale structure's response by tuned natural frequencies.
