This study analyzes the response of a tall building with an H-shaped cross-section when subjected to wind loading generated by the same H-shape. As normative standards usually adopt regular geometries for determining the wind loading, this paper shows unpublished results which compares results of the dynamic response of H-shaped buildings with the response of simplified section buildings. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is employed to determine the steady wind load on the H-shaped building. The CFD models are validated by comparison with wind tunnel test data for the k-ε and k-ω models of turbulence. Transient wind loading is determined using the Synthetic Wind Method. A new methodology is presented that combines Stochastic and CFD methods. In addition, time-history dynamic structural analysis is performed using the HHT method for a period of 60 seconds on finite element models. First, the along-wind response is studied for wind speed variations. The wind speeds of 28, 36, 42, and 50 m/s at 0° case are considered. Subsequently, the dynamic response of the building is studied for wind loads at 0°, 45°, and 90° with a wind speed of 42 m/s, which approximates the point of resonance between gusts of wind and the structure. The response values associated with the first two directions for the H-shaped building are smaller than those for the R-shaped (Equivalent Rectangular Shape) one. However, the displacements of the H-shaped building associated with the latter wind load are larger.

The shape of a tall building has significant impact on wind force generation and wind-induced dynamic response. To study the effect of recessed cavities, wind excitations on a wind-tunnel model of an H-section tall building were compared with those on a square-section building model. Characteristics of the fluctuating wind pressures on the side faces of the two tall buildings and their role in the generation of crosswind forces on the buildings were investigated with the space-time statistical tool of proper orthogonal decomposition (POD). This paper also compares the use of different pressure data sets for POD analysis in situations where pressures on two different surfaces are responsible for the generation of a wind force. The first POD mode is found to dominate the generation of crosswind excitation on the buildings.

This study aims to evaluate the structural safety of a structural thermal barrier, installed inside the structure of a building and performed the role of a load-bearing element and an insulation simultaneously, contributing to the realization of net-zero buildings. To ensure the reliability of the analysis model, the analysis results derived from LS-DYNA were compared with the experimental results. Based on the results shown through the flexural experiment, the reliability of the thermal cross-section insulation structure model for slabs was validated. In addition, the effect of the UHPC block on the load support performance and its contribution to vertical deflection was verified.

강지보로 보강된 터널 숏크리트 라이닝은 그 기하학적 형태로 인해 외부하중이 작용됨에 따라 휨 모멘트와 축력이 동시에 발생하게 된다. 숏크리트는 축력 수준에 따라 휨 강성이 달라지며, 이로 인한 심한 비선형 거동을 보인다. 또한 강지보 유형에 따라 역학적으로 상이한 지보 성능을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 화이버 단면 요소(fiber section element)를 이용해 압축력과 휨 모멘트를 동시에 받는 강지보-숏크리트 라이닝의 비선형합성거동을 평가할 수 있는 수치모델을 제시하였고, 이를 활용해 강지보 유형에 따른 합성지보 성능을 수치적으로 분석하였다. 또한, 지반-구조물 상호작용을 구현하기 위해 지반의 연화(softening) 거동을 고려하여 수정된 hyperbolic 모델을 제시하였다. 제시된 수치모델은 기존 아치형 실험체의 하중실험 결과와 해석결과를 비교하여 검증하였으며, 수치해석을 통해 강지보 유형에 따른 라이닝의 합성거동을 분석하였다. 해석결과를 통해, 복철근 형태의 강지보가 기존 H형강과 유사한 극한 하중 지지력을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 강재량 증가가 잔류 지지력 향상에 크게 기여하였으며, 지보재 주변의 지반강성이 증가함에 따라 강지보 유형에 따른 최대 하중지지력 개선 효과는 작아짐을 확인하였다.
