Aerodynamic damping often plays an important role in estimations of wind induced dynamic responses of super high-rise buildings. Across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of a square super high-rise building with a height of 300 m are identified with the Random Decrement technique (RDT) from random vibration responses of the SDOF aeroelastic model in simulated wind fields. Parametric studies on effects of reduced wind velocity, terrain type and structural damping ratio on the aerodynamic damping ratios are further performed. Finally formulas of across- and along-wind aerodynamic damping ratios of the square super high-rise building are derived with curve fitting technique and accuracy of the formulas is verified.

When the tall office building first appeared in the street of Chicago in the end of Nineteenth Century, this building type has become a commodity in the development of real estate and been defined as a machine that makes the land pay. With the investigation of land price samples of the high-rise commercial buildings and the overall land price development in the central district of International Settlement in Shanghai, this paper tries to examine the site selection and construction of high-rise commercial buildings have important positive effect on the land value development.

High-rise apartments in Korea has physical, environmental, social, economical superannuation. But the remodeling of their apartments is focused on the physical improvement. So they remains the problems of community, safety, economy. Remodeling have to do is to attempt to synthesize the whole superannuation. So we select the B-maul apartments in 1st new towns has the typical problem(parking unsufficiency, small pyeong, ecology shortage etc) of high-rise apartment in the country and analysis its superannuation and remodeling plan. And verify the propriety of a remodeling plan to improve superannuation through an expert survey. Through the tasks, high-rise apartment remodeling in the country need to have a cure for the problem : lowing of the ceiling heights, a shortage of understanding among the residents, and insufficient improvement in the surroundings, no reuse-energy system.

Buildings, energy and the environment are key issues that the building professions and energy policy makers have to address, especially in the context of sustainable development. With more tall buildings constructed in China, the impact on energy consumption and carbon emission would be great from buildings (2% increase of carbon dioxide annually between 1971 and 2004). The imperative was to investigate the building energy performance of high-rise in different climate zones and identify the key design parameters that impose significantly influence on energy performance in sustainable building design. Design implications on glazing performance, sizing of the ventilation fans, renewable energy application on high-rise building design are addressed. Combination of effective sustainable building design strategies (e.g., building envelope improvement, daylight harvesting, advanced lighting design, displacement ventilation, chilled ceiling etc.) could contribute more than 25% of the total building energy consumption compared to the international building energy code.

The present study dictates the behavior of shear wall under a seismic event in slender high rise buildings, and studies the effect of height, location and distribution of shear wall in slender high rise building with and without boundary elements induced by the effect of an earthquake. Shear walls are located at the sides of the building, to counter the earthquake forces. This study is carried out in a 12 storeys building using SAP2000 software. The obtained results disclose that the behavior of the structure is definitely affected by the height and location of shear walls in slender high rise building. The stresses are concentrated at the limit between the shear wall region and the upper non shear wall especially for shear walls without columns. Displacements are doubled between the shear wall region and the upper non shear wall especially for shear walls without columns.

The Purpose of this study was to investigate the exterior materials of super high-rise housing more than 30 stories which were built in New York City between 1924 and 2004. The result of examining 153 buildings was as follows; Exterior materials of super high-rise housing which were used bricks, of the salt-glazed bricks, terra-cotta and ceramic tiles, jumbo bricks and bricks were preferred among them. The colour of bricks was yellow, yellow ochre, clear brown, brown, dark brown, orange, vermilion and red. Exterior materials of super high-rise hotel and hotel apartment were bricks and ceramic tiles in the early days but stones, curtain wall and glass(green glass, green-tinted glass, brown-tinted glass, black glass) after 1980s. The main colour of buildings extended gray, green, blue-tinted brown-tinted and black.

The issue of sustainability has been prevailed not only in building industry but also all other industries. It has been raised that the concept of sustainability should take into account for the design of multi-use high-rise apartments. In this study, the present situation and trends of the multi-use high-rise apartment construction have been reviewed. The definition of sustainable design of high-rise apartment has been clarified so as to perceive the related design elements through the literature survey. Finally this study has derived the sustainable design elements of high-rise apartment unit plans through the comparative analysis of sustainable design guidelines, environmentally friendly building accreditation systems and literature survey in and abroad.

The purpose of this research is to analyze the publicity of the private open space of high-rise office buildings in seoul. The contents of this research consist of two main parts. The first part is to classify the personal behavior's characteristics and to investigate the user's satisfaction of the publicity in the private open space through the case study of samples in seoul. The second part is to analyze the correlations between the personal behavior's characteristics and the user's satisfaction of the publicity in the private open space of high-rise office buildings. In conclusion, this research will contribute to establish the planning methods of the private open space of high-rise office buildings and to promote the quality of urban residential environment in Korea.

One of the most serious national problems is the shortage of houses, especially in great cities. Housing shortage resulted from an overpopulated city brought the high-rise apartment buildings. While these buildings provide city-dwellers with much more houses, they have the basic fire safety problem in proportion to their heights. In these respect, this study aims to present the basic data for the fire safety design of high-rise apartment buildings. In this study, national fire damage statistics of past eleven years were investigated and the problem of the fire safety design of high-rise apartment buildings was studied through the methods of questions, observations and records on the representative six high-rise apartment buildings in seoul.
