Despite the changes to demands and perceptions according to building deterioration, most of the previous studies on remodeling have focused on apartment buildings, which are residential buildings. Few studies have been conducted on buildings for general commercial use, or office buildings. Accordingly, this study set out to prepare a set of performance criteria to assess the remodeling feasibility of office buildings. For that purpose, 23 assessment items were devised, their importance was tested, 13 were extracted, and a set of scoring criteria for each item was prepared. Case analysis was conducted to check the reliability of the assessment items and scoring criteria. Through this analysis, it was found that the criteria were reliable.

The object of this study is to propose the efficient method for analyzing the building floors subjected to the loading with high frequency contents. For this purpose, the method for mesh division and the selection of master DOF for FE model of building floors with these loadings are studied. Also, it is verified that the availability of thin plate element that is used by structural engineers for the modelling of the building floor of which the span-thickness ratio is usually ten times and over. And the possibility and limit of the equivalent plate which is already studied by other researcher for the multi-layer plate are investigated. At last, proposed modelling method is examined by the example structure.

When a fire occurs in a commercial building, the evacuation route is complicated and the direction of smoke and flame is similar to that of the egress route of occupants, resulting in many casualties. Performance-based evacuation design for buildings is essential to minimize human casualties. In order to apply the performance-based evacuation design to buildings, it requires a complex fire simulation for each building, demanding a large amount of time and manpower. In order to supplement this, it would be very useful to develop an Available Safe Egress Time (ASET) prediction model that can rationally derive the ASET without performing a fire simulation. In this study, the correlations between fire temperature with visibility and toxic gas concentration were investigated through a fire simulation on a commercial building, from which databases for the training of artificial neural networks (ANN) were created. Based on this, an ANN model that can predict the available safe egress time was developed. In order to examine whether the proposed ANN model can be applied to other commercial buildings, it was applied to another commercial building, and the proposed model was found to estimate the available safe egress time of the commercial building very accurately.

기존 건축물은 현행 소방법 및 건축법을 소급해 적용할 수 없다는 이유로 비상용승강기와 제연설비가 설치되어 있지 않는 경우가 상당수 존재한다. 이렇듯 화재에 취약할 수밖에 없는 기존 건축물에서 화재가 발생했을 때 소방대 진입 및 구조활동이 가능한 통로를 확보하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구는 이러한 관점에서 기존 건축물의 화재안전성능 개선에 따른 부담을 최소화하는 방안으로 승강로 급기가압 방식을 제시한다. 먼저, 수직통로를 통한 연기 확산에 무방비 상태인 기존의 고층 건축물의 문제점 및 화재사례를 분석하고, 국내외 비상용승강기 및 제연설비 관련 법규 현황을 비교분석하였다. 그리고 NIST의 Contam을 이용한 시뮬레이션을 통하여 승강로 급기가압 전과 후의 층별 차압을 비교함으로써 승강로 가압이 연돌효과에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다.

To maintain the normal function of an aging building, regular inspection, repair, and reinforcement must be performed. However, the form of information and decision-making generated in the current building maintenance stage still depends on inefficient methods. This causes an increase in cost and waste of time in building maintenance. Therefore, this study proposed a COBie-IM document for building inspection and maintenance information management by benchmarking COBie, and suggested a method of checking information by linking it with BIM. In addition, a method for visualizing the designation of colors according to the damage grade of defects occurring in the building was suggested. Through this, we are able to systematically integrate and manage the information generated during inspection and maintenance in the building maintenance stage. This is expected to increase work efficiency by supporting decision-making that determines the priority of repair and reinforcement for defects.

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.

저탄소 녹색성장은 세계적인 친환경 추이에 발맞추고 소비자들의 인식변화에 부응하는 신성장동력이다. 이를 잘 활용하면 기업의 경쟁력을 장기적으로 강화시킬 수 있고 새로운 기회를 가져다줄 수 있다. 녹색성장은 그야말로 기업 성장에 엄청난 영향을 끼칠 수 있는 새로운 패러다임인 것이다. 정부는 향후 에너지를 자급자족하는 건축물을 목표로 저탄소 녹색성장 정책을 추진하고 있다. 그 일환으로 건축물 에너지 목표관리제 도입, 녹색건축물 조성 지원법 등이 있다. 내년 2월 23일 시행을 앞두고 있는 '녹색 건축물 조성 지원법'은 건축물의 설계 시공 유지 관리 등 모든 분야에 영향을 미치는 법으로서, 특히 건축물의 에너지효율 개선 관련 기준을 제시할 예정이다. 이로써 고효율 설비 등 시설 투자는 물론 에너지 소비를 제어할 수 있는 기계설비의 위상과 역할이 크게 부각될 전망이다. 대한건설협회 및 한국생산성본부인증원은 지난 4월 18일 건설회관에서 '건설분야의 녹색정책과 대응방안' 컨퍼런스를 개최하고, $\bigtriangleup$저탄소 녹색성장 정책방향 $\bigtriangleup$녹색건축물 관련법 및 정책 추진방향 $\bigtriangleup$녹색건축물 조성지원법 제정에 따른 건설업의 나아갈 방향 $\bigtriangleup$녹색건축 도시조성을 위한 실천전략 $\bigtriangleup$녹색건축물제도가 건설업에 미치는 영향 등에 관해 주제발표를 했다. 본지는 '건설분야의 녹색정책과 대응방안' 컨퍼런스에서 발표된 내용을 바탕으로 '녹색건축물 조성 지원법'에 대해 자세히 알아본다.

This study aims to suggest a direction to develop Korea's certification system by comparing the evaluation items between Korea's G-SEED (Green Standard for Energy & Environmental Design) and Germany's sustainable building certification. A number of eco-friendly building certification systems are being implemented globally. On the other hand, mutually comparable evaluation items have not been suggested up until now. Therefore, international standards have been trying to establish evaluation criteria for eco-friendly buildings, and Germany's sustainable building certification is the first certification standard that has accepted those evaluation criteria. According to the result of comparing Korea's green building certification with Germany's sustainable certification, the green building certification has evaluation items not only on environmentality (62.6%), but also on social aspects (25.4%) and economic aspects (3.0%). This suggests a crucial direction to the development of evaluation items regarding the social and economic aspects of green building certification.

Electric shutters for buildings are being developed in Korea and abroad on a regular basis and can be used in different types of buildings such as company buildings and fire stations, etc. However, the fall risk factors induced by a variety of functions of building electric shutters require safety control. We reviewed the technological trends and legal standards in Korea and abroad, analyzed incident cases, and identified fall risk factors requiring control. We inspected all the building electric shutters in Korea based on the fall risk factors. As a result, we identified 91 noncompliance cases, in 69 percent of all 132 locations. In this study, backed by the inspection results, we suggest a check list to prevent the fall of building electric shutters to ensure safety and conduct verification using a focus group interview.

본 연구는 숭례문의 진동측정을 통한 고유진동수와 감쇠, 진동모드 등의 파악을 목적으로 한다. 목조 건축물의 진동측정방법은 건축물에 손상을 주지 않으며 공학적인 데이터의 획득으로 숭례문의 시간, 환경에 따른 구조특성의 변화를 수치적으로 파악할 수 있게 해준다. 숭례문에 대하여 상시미동측정과 인력가진측정을 실시하였다. 그 결과, 숭례문의 진동특성은 장변방향으로 2.12Hz, 단변방향으로 1.56Hz로 비슷한 규모와 형식이라고 할 수 있는 흥인지문, 수원 팔달문보다 높은 고유진동수값을 얻었고 감쇠값은 장변방향으로 1.7%, 단변방향으로 1.8%의 값을 가진다. 2008년 화재로 전소된 숭례문의 진동특성이지만 앞으로 비슷한 구조 건축물에 대한 측정 데이터의 축적을 통하여 목조 건축물의 진동특성에 대한 주기식 및 성능파악에 대한 기준 및 평가자료의 근거로 쓸 수가 있다.
