In case of a fire in urban large structures such as super high-rise buildings, evacuation guidance must be provided to the occupants in order to minimize human deaths and injuries. Therefore, it is essential to provide emergency evacuation guidance when a major fire occurs. In order to effectively support evacuation guidance, it is important to identify major items such as fire location, occupant position, escape route, etc. Also, it is important to quickly identify evacuation areas where residents can safely evacuate from a fire. In this paper, we analyze the CCTV video and propose a method of measuring visibility of the evacuation zone from the smoke caused by the fire in order to determine the safety of evacuation area. To do this, we first extract the background video from the smoke video to measure the visibility of the specific area due to smoke. After generating an edge-extracted image for the extracted background video, the degree of visibility is measured by calculating the change in the edge strength due to smoke.

Due to the many advantages of concrete-filled double steel tube (CFDT) columns, they are highly recommended for use in heavy-load structures such as bridges, subway stations, and high-rise buildings. This study was carried out with the aim of numerically investigating and comparing the performance of CFDT columns under cyclic and seismic loads and providing innovative strengthening methods for CFDT columns. Hollow circular steel sections have been used for internal and external tubes. To make the circular CFDT columns stronger against seismic loads, stiffeners with different shapes (rectangular and T-shaped sheets) have been welded to the outside and inside tubes. The validated finite element (FE) model of the ABAQUS program is used to look into the behavior of CFDT columns numerically. Two frames of 10 and 20 floors with strengthened CFDT columns were modeled. The results showed that the use of stiffeners in the CFDT column has a significant effect on seismic performance, so that the maximum lateral load of the column is increased up to 32.74% under the effect of cyclic load. Also, the results revealed that the use of stiffeners in the columns of moderate and high-rise building frames causes a significant increase in the shear of the base and consequently the stiffness. Among the other important results that followed, it reduced the drift of floors and increased energy absorption.

Civil structures are becoming more flexible and lightly damped. When subjected to dynamic loads such as wind, earthquake and wave, vibration may be easily induced and lasted for lond duration. To suppress the wind-induced and earthquake-induced vibration of high-rise buildings, study on the development of a tuned mass damper has been carried out. Based on optimal design on passive tuned mass damper which is considered for a building subject to random excitations, a biaxial tuned mass damper was designed and developed. It is confirmed that the vibration levels of the test structure are reduced using the developed tuned mass damper.

It has been known that one-dimensional rod theory is very effective as a simplified analytical approach to large scale or complicated structures such as high-rise buildings, in preliminary design stages. It replaces an original structure by a one-dimensional rod which has an equivalent stiffness in terms of global properties. If the structure is composed of distinct constituents of different stiffness such as coupled walls with opening, structural behavior is significantly governed by the local variation of stiffness. This paper proposes an extended version of the rod theory which accounts for the two-dimensional local variation of structural stiffness; viz, variation in the transverse direction as well as longitudinal stiffness distribution. The governing equation for the two-dimensional rod theory is formulated from Hamilton's principle by making use of a displacement function which satisfies continuity conditions across the boundary between the distinct structural components in the transverse direction. Validity of the proposed theory is confirmed by comparison with numerical results of computational tools in the cases of static, free vibration and forced vibration problems for various structures.

This paper presents galloping analysis of multiple-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) structural roofs with multiple orientations. Instead of using drag and lift coefficients and/or their combined coefficient in traditional galloping analysis for slender structures, this study uses wind pressure coefficients for wind force representation on each and every different orientation roof, facilitating the galloping analysis of multiple-orientation roof structures. In the study, influences of nonlinear aerodynamic forces are considered. An energy-based equivalent technique, together with the modal analysis, is used to solve the nonlinear MDOF vibration equations. The critical wind speed for galloping of roof structures is derived, which is then applied to galloping analysis of roofs of a stadium and a high-rise building in China. With the aid of various experimental results obtained in pertinent research, this study also shows that consideration of nonlinear aerodynamic forces in galloping analysis generally increases the critical wind speed, thus enhancing aerodynamic stability of structures.

Right of view out is one of the most important environmental factors that provide biological comfort and physical stability. Construction of high rise apartment buildings have caused to increase view obstruction cases and conflicts. Generally, when a field of a vision is completely blocked by other building, the percentage of a view is 0% and if the percentage is over 40%, it is regarded as acceptable. Autodesk VIZ program and the authors'-developed program were applied to evaluate a view right in apartment buildings and its effectiveness was verified by comparing computer simulation with actual photos.

최근들어 전산유체역학(CFD: Computational Fluid Dynamics)은 빌딩에 대하여 다양한 응용분야에서 사용된다. 이번 연구에서는 측정이 어려운 도심지 건물 군을 지나는 바람에 대하여 CFD해석 방법을 이용하여 고층 빌딩 상공을 지나가는 바람장을 예측 하였으며, 예측 된 결과를 실제 측정치와 비교 검증하였다. 바람장 측정 방법은 마스트를 세워서 측정하는 방법, 풍동 실험실에서 축소된 모형에 대한 실험방법, PIV 측정방법, LIDAR, SODAR측정 방법 등 많은 방법이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 가장 정확한 측정 방법인 LIDAR를 사용하여 측정을 수행하였다. 바람장이 측정된 장소는 서울 잠실 롯데 호텔 상공이며, 불어오는 바람은 롯데 월드를 중심으로 주변의 상가 건물들과 아파트 건물들 때문에 불안정하며 고르지 않을 것으로 예상되었다. LIDAR 측정은 일정 기간 동안 이루어 졌다. CFD해석은 임의의 시간대에 대해서 주 풍향에 대해서 해석이 수행되었다. CFD 해석결과는 최종적으로 측정 데이터와 비교 검증이 이루어 졌으며, 두 데이터간의 일치도가 높음을 알 수 있었다.

This paper investigates the optimized parameters of Tuned Mass Dampers (TMDs) for vibration control of high-rise structures including Soil Structure Interaction (SSI). The Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) method is employed for optimization. The TMD Mass, damping coefficient and spring stiffness are assumed as the design variables of the controller; and the objective is set as the reduction of both the maximum displacement and acceleration of the building. The time domain analysis based on Newmark method is employed to obtain the displacement, velocity and acceleration of different stories and TMD in response to 6 types of far field earthquakes. The optimized mass, frequency and damping ratio are then formulated for different soil types; and employed for the design of TMD for the 40 and 15 story buildings and 10 different earthquakes, and well results are achieved. This study leads the researchers to the better understanding and designing of TMDs as passive controllers for the mitigation of earthquake oscillations.
