China's rapidly growing cities offer a unique opportunity to create highly sustainable communities. Architects and their clients, typically real estate developers, are highly focused on strategies that are effective at reducing energy and water usage at the scale of the individual building or within a master plan of multiple related buildings. However, a closer look at energy consumption reveals that transportation uses more energy worldwide than residential and commercial buildings combined. In light of this, it is appropriate that China is making massive investments in transportation infrastructure like heavy rail rapid transit and grade separated expressways, but the end result of these investments to date has been to enable people to live further from where they work and shop rather than closer - while simultaneously not creating walkable communities. Using positive and negative examples from Asia and the rest of the world, this article will investigate the specific urban design policies such as height limits, setbacks, land use restrictions, parking ratios, and parcel size which might change to enable the creation of truly sustainable communities for China's 21st century.

This study implements a hybrid Genetic Algorithm to detect, locate, and quantify structural damage for multistory shear buildings using partial modal data. Measuring modal responses at multiple locations on a structure is both challenging and expensive in practice. The proposed method's objective function is based on the building's dynamic properties and can also be employed with partial modal information. This method includes initial residuals between the numerical and experimental model and a damage penalization term to avoid false damages. To test the proposed method, a numerical example of a ten-story shear building with noisy and partial modal information was explored. The obtained results were in agreement with the previously published research. The proposed method's performance was also verified using experimental modal data of an 8-DOF spring-mass system and a five-story shear building. The predicted results for numerical and experimental examples indicated that the proposed method is reliable in identifying the damage for multistory shear buildings.

서울특별시 소재 대형 상업건물중 50개 에너지 다소비업체를 선정하여 에너지 사용실태를 조사하였다. 조사대상 건물은 병원, 호텔, 백화점/사무실 등 3개 집단으로 분류하여 시설현황, 에너지사용량, 부하분포특성 등을 분석하였다. 여름철 냉방전력 사용량이 열부하 피크 발생에 직접적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 이를 열병합발전-흡수식 냉동기 방식으로 대체할 경우 전기부하 분포가 연간 비교적 일정하게 변환시킬 수 있어 열부하추종운전방식에 적합함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나, 단일건물의 경우 연간열부하분포가 경제적 규모에 미달하여 단독으로 열병합발전 설비를 도입하기에는 미흡한 점이 있어 다수건물을 대상으로 하는 공동 열병합발전 방식이 보다 유리한 것으로 판단된다. 이를 추진하기에는 전기사업법, 액화천연가스 요금체계 등과 같은 법제도의 정비가 선결되어야 할 것이다.

Results of an extensive study aiming to properly extend the well known pushover analysis into 3-D problems of asymmetric buildings are presented in this paper. The proposed procedure uses simple, 3 DOF, one-story models with shear-beam type elements in order to quantify the effects of inelastic torsional response of such buildings. Correction coefficients for the response quantities at the "stiff" and "flexible" sides are calculated using results from non-linear time history analyses of the simple models. Their values are then applied to the results of a simple, plane pushover analysis of the detailed building models. Results from the application of the new method for a set of three, conventionally designed, five-story buildings with high values of uniaxial eccentricities are compared with those obtained from multiple non-linear dynamic time history analyses, as well as from similar pushover methods addressing the same problem. This initial evaluation indicates that the proposed procedure is a clear improvement over the simple (conventional) pushover method and, in most cases, more accurate and reliable than the other methods considered. The accuracy, however, of all these methods is reduced substantially when they are applied to torsionally flexible buildings. Thus, for such challenging problems, use of inelastic dynamic analyses for a set of two component earthquake motions appears to be the preferable solution.

Excessive acceleration experienced at the top floors in a building during wind storms affect the serviceability of the building with respect to occupant comfort and discomfort. Tuned liquid damper (TLD) and multiple tuned liquid damper (MTLD), which are passive control devices consisting of a rigid tank filled with liquid, are used to suppress vibration of structures. These TLD and MTLD offer several potential advantages-low costs, easy installation in existing structures and effectiveness even for small-amplitude vibrations. This study carries out a theoretical estimation of the most effective damping ratios that can be achieved by TLD and MTLD. Damping by TLD an MTLD reduced the frequency response of high-rise buildings by approximately 40% in urban and suburban areas.

The latest developments in topology optimization are integrated with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for the conceptual design of building structures. The wind load on a building is simulated using CFD, and the structural response of the building is obtained from finite element analysis under the wind load obtained. Multiple wind directions are simulated within a single fluid domain by simply expanding the simulation domain. The bi-directional evolutionary structural optimization (BESO) algorithm with a scheme of material interpolation is extended for an automatic building topology optimization considering multiple wind loading cases. The proposed approach is demonstrated by a series of examples of optimum topology design of perimeter bracing systems of high-rise building structures.

In order to obtain a 3-D urban model, an abstraction of the surface model is required. This paper describes works on the 3D reconstruction and modeling by the grouping 3D line segments extracted from the stereo matching of edges, which is derived from multiple images. The grouping is achieved by conditions of degrees and distances between lines. Building objects are determined by the junction combinations of the grouped line segments. The proposed algorithm demonstrates effective results of 3D reconstruction of buildings with 2D aerial images.

During the rapid economic growth, many buildings have been built unfaithfully. As a result, the buildings have finished their role in 10 years with dangerous structural elements and deteriorative facilities. This study planned to renovate an old independent house as an original and individual interior space which is its advantage. A house is not the place to eat and sleep, but multiple space with various functions, such as shelter, working, rest, and education. The purpose of this study was to make house environment useful and comfortable by understanding such a situation and by predicting future problems.

본 연구는 서울시 오피스 건물을 대상으로 친환경 건축물 인증등급이 오피스의 가격과 비용에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이를 위해 건축물들의 매매가격을 다중회귀 분석을 통해 규명하였다. 또한 친환경 인증등급이 높은 경우에 어느 정도의 환경부하비용이 저감되는지를 분석하기 위해 LCC(Life Cycle Cost) + LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) 분석을 실시하였다. 실증분석 결과, 친환경 인증등급이 높을수록 업무용 오피스 가격에 유의한 양의 영향을 준 것으로 나타났다. 또한 LCC 분석에서는, 친환경 인증등급을 높게 받은 건물이 그렇지 않은 건물보다 적은 생애비용이 드는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 친환경 인증등급을 높게 받은 오피스 건물이 그렇지 않은 건물보다 환경부하비용(LCA)이 적게 든다는 것을 확인하였다. LCC와 LCA를 통합한 TCA 분석에서는 친환경 인증등급을 높게 받은 건물이 그렇지 않은 건물보다 적은 사회적 총비용을 나타냈다.

New technologies using a CNC machine are being developed to reduce the production cost of free-form buildings. For production of free-form members using such technologies, vast free-form buildings should be first split into multiple panels that are productible. Taking into consideration of the curved surface of free-form members, the segmented free-form panels may vary in shape and size, which may cause a lot of errors. In addition, it is time-consuming for the work. However, the current panelizing work is completed with the trials and errors of engineers and architectural designers even in large-scale projects, which results in increased construction duration and cost. Thus, it is necessary to develop a technology for panelizing free-form panels so as to maximize the economic feasibility of production technologies for free-form concrete members. The study intends to develeop automatic panelizing algorithms of free-form buildings considering the curved surface and size of free-form panels and the production conditions. The developed algorithms will be useful in applying the production technologies of free-form buildings using CNC machine and reducing the cost.
