The case for study in this paper is the Main Plan and Management for the Fukutoshin; the restructure of Nishi Shinjuku, This plan was first outlines in 1960, and includes a vast area of 96 ha for redevelopment. It aims to create a totally new center in the city. This was the first case in Japan, and in the world of a plan of these magnitudes. involving urban landscape restructuring from three points: Landscape (open spaces for public use: the Shinjuku Central Park and the surrounding area of the buildings), transport and commercial building developments. The Landscape plan for the green areas was decided in a way to compensate the population of the area and the visitors. As a rule, high-rise building constructions are placed each one in single lots and are surrounded by open spaces and greenery. Pedestrain areas are widened and also connected by bridges in a way to allow free circulation, and interconnection between the constructions and the green areas. Another important factor is the role that Private Corporation, and public interest plays. Joining these two forces has allowed the concretization of this project. This interpolation between public and private roles was an innovation in Japan, and it also the key for the concretion of the project. The historical review of the process and management of this project help us to put into perspective the introduction of new concepts and ideas, which were not related at that time to traditional Japanese Landscaping. Furthermore we are better able to understand the substantial increase in the percentage of land dedicated to green areas in contrast to the typical standards of Japanese cities.

Civil structures should be designed with the lowest cost and longest lifetime possible and without service failure. The efficient and sustainable use of materials in building design and construction has always been at the forefront for civil engineers and environmentalists. Timber is one of the best contenders for these purposes particularly in terms of aesthetics; fire protection; strength-to-weight ratio; acoustic properties and seismic resistance. In recent years, timber has been used in commercial and taller buildings due to these significant advantages. It should be noted that, since the launch of the modern building standards and codes, a number of different structural systems have been developed to stabilise steel or concrete multistorey buildings, however, structural analysis of high-rise and multi-storey timber frame buildings subjected to lateral loads has not yet been fully understood. Additionally, timber degradation can occur as a result of biological decay of the elements and overloading that can result in structural damage. In such structures, the deficient members and joints require strengthening in order to satisfy new code requirements; determine acceptable level of safety; and avoid brittle failure following earthquake actions. This paper investigates performance assessment and damage assessment of older multi-storey timber buildings. One approach is to retrofit the beams in order to increase the ductility of the frame. Experimental studies indicate that Sprayed Fibre Reinforced Polymer (SFRP) repairing/retrofitting not only updates the integrity of the joint, but also increases its strength; stiffness; and ductility in such a way that the joint remains elastic. Non-linear finite element analysis ('pushover') is carried out to study the behaviour of the structure subjected to simulated gravity and lateral loads. A new global index is re-assessed for damage assessment of the plain and SFRP-retrofitted frames using capacity curves obtained from pushover analysis. This study shows that the proposed method is suitable for structural damage assessment of aged timber buildings. Also SFRP retrofitting can potentially improve the performance and load carrying capacity of the structure.

Key factors that ensure competitiveness of modular unit include consistent high quality and connection condition that ensures high structural performance while minimizing the overall scale of the on-site process. However, it is difficult to evaluate the structural performance of the connection of modular unit, and its structural analysis and design method can be different depending on the connection to its development, which affects the seismic performance of its final design. In particular, securing the seismic performance is the key to designing modular systems of mid-to-high-rise structure. In this paper, therefore, the seismic performance of the modular system with bracket-typed fully restrained moment connections according to stiffness and the shapes of various connection members was evaluated through experimental and analytical methods. To verify the seismic performance, a cyclic loading test of the connection joint of the proposed modular system was conducted. As a result of this study, theoretical values and experimental results were compared with the initial stiffness, hysteresis behavior and maximum bending moment of the modular system. Also, the connection joint was modeled, using the commercial program ANSYS, which was then followed by finite element analysis of the system. According to the results of the experiment, the maximum resisting force of the proposed connection exceeded the theoretical parameters, which indicated that a rigid joint structural performance could be secured. These results almost satisfied the criteria for connection bending strength of special moment frame listed on KBC2016.

최근 건축물은 대지 이용의 효율성을 높이기 위해 주상 복합화·고층화되는 추세이며, 이에 따른 화재의 발생빈도 및 잠재적인 위험요소도 증가하고 있다. 특히, 고층 공동주택의 경우 비상용승강기와 별도로 승용승강기 중 1대 이상을 피난용승강기로 설치하게 되어 특별피난계단 부속실, 비상용승강기 승강장 겸용의 경우 피난용승강기 승강장과 직렬형태의 구조가 되어 새로운 형태의 제연구역 이 발생한다. 따라서 비상용승강기 승강장과 피난용승강기 승강장의 직렬형태 구조에 대한 제연구역 선정의 제시가 필요하며, 새로운 형태에서 제연성능을 달성하는 것에 대한 문제가 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 CONTAM을 이용하여 각 제연구역 형식(비상용승강기 승강장 단독제연, 피난용승강기 승강장 단독제연, 비상용승강기 승강장과 피난용승강기 승강장 동시제연 누설틈새 적용·미적용)의 방연풍속, 차압을 확인하고, 직렬형태 구조에 대해 제연성능을 확보하기 위한 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

현재 국내에서도 내진설계에 대한 요구 및 관심이 증가하여 지진해석의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 특히 벽식 아파트는 주거용으로 가장 많이 건설되고 있어 내진설계를 위한 지진해석이 활발히 수행되고 있다. 지진해석을 위해 벽식 아파트 전체를 유한요소로 세분화하여 모형화하는 것은 시간 및 노력에 있어 효율적이지 못하다. 따라서 자유도를 감소시키면서 실제 구조물의 동적 거동을 정확히 표현할 수 있는 등가모델이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 구조물의 변형형상과 밀접한 관계가 있는 유효질량계수를 이용하여 간편하게 사용할 수 있는 등가모델 구성방법을 제안하였다. 이 등가모델은 기둥과 보로 구성된 골조구조물을 사용하여 벽식 구조물을 등가의 모델로 치환하였다. 등가모델은 어떤 상용프로그램에서도 쉽게 적용할 수 있으며, 해석시간단축이 가능하여 단시간 다양한 지진에 대한 해석이 필요한 경우 매우 유용하게 사용될 수 있다. 또한 등가모델은 바닥슬래브를 모형화 할 수 있어 실제 벽식 아파트의 거동을 잘 표현할 수 있다. 더욱이 등가모델은 구조물의 비대칭성을 표현할 수 있어 매우 우수하다.
