비정형 초고층건물을 위한 구조시스템 중에서 다이어그리드 구조시스템은 구조적인 효율성 및 조형성 때문에 널리 사용되고 있다. 근래에는 초고층건물을 위한 구조시스템으로 메가부재의 조합을 통하여 횡방향 강성을 효과적으로 발휘할 수 있는 메가프레임 시스템이 널리 사용되고 있다. 두 가지 구조시스템의 장점을 혼합한 다이어그리드 메가프레임 구조시스템은 미래형 초고층건물에 적용될 유망한 구조시스템으로 평가받고 있다. 그러나 이러한 다이어그리드 메가프레임 구조시스템을 적용한 건물의 거동을 예측하기 위해서는 매우 많은 수의 절점과 요소로 이루어진 유한요소 모델을 해석해야 하므로 상당한 양의 해석시간과 엔지니어의 노력이 필요하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 다이어그리드 메가프레임시스템을 적용한 초고층건물의 거동을 효율적으로 해석할 수 있는 기법을 제안하여 다이어그리드 메가프레임 초고층건물의 해석과 설계에 소요되는 시간과 노력을 줄이고자 한다. 이를 위하여 다이어그리드 메가프레임의 특정을 활용한 효율적인 모형화기법과 행렬응축기법을 사용하여 해석에 사용되는 자유도수를 최소화한 해석기법을 제안하였다. 예제구조물의 해석을 수행하여 본 연구에서 제안된 해석방법과 일반적인 해석방법에 의한 결과와 비교함으로써 제안된 방법의 효율성과 정확성을 검증하였다.

With the sustainability movement, vegetated building envelopes are gaining more popularity. This requires special wind effect investigations, both from sustainability and resiliency perspectives. The current paper focuses on wind load estimation on small- and full-scale trees used as part of green roofs and balconies. Small-scale wind load assessment was carried out using a wind tunnel testing in a global-effect study to understand the interference effects from surrounding structures. Full-scale trees were investigated at a large open-jet facility in a local-effect study to account for the wind-tree interaction. The effect of Reynolds number combined with shape change on the overall loads measured at the base of the trees (near the roots) has been investigated by testing at different model-scales and wind speeds. In addition, high-speed tests were conducted to examine the security of the trees in soil and to assess the effectiveness of a proposed structural mitigation system. Results of the current research show that at relatively high wind speeds the load coefficients tend to be reduced, limiting the wind loads on trees. No resonance or vortex shedding was visually observed.

Wind load is typically considered as one of the governing design loads acting on a structure. Understanding its nature is essential in evaluation of its action on the structure. Many codes and standards are founded on state of the art knowledge and include step by step procedures to calculate wind loads for various types of structures. One of the most accepted means for calculating wind load is using Gust Load Factor or base bending Moment Gust Load Factor (MGLF), where codes are adjusted based on local data available. Although local data may differ, the general procedure is the same. In this paper, ASCE 7-16 (2017), which is used as the main reference in the U.S., and Korean Building Code (KBC 2016) are compared in evaluation of wind loads. The primary purpose of this paper is to provide insight on each code from a structural engineering perspective. Herein, discussion focuses on where the two codes are compatible and differ. In evaluating the action of wind loads on a building, knowledge of the dynamic properties of the structure is critical. For this study, the design of four figurative high-rise buildings with dual systems was analyzed.

Welding is a significant part of the construction industry. Since most high-rise building construction structures rely on a robust metal frame welded together, welding defect can damage welded structures and is critical to safety and quality. Despite its importance and heavy usage in construction, the labor shortage of welders has been a continuous challenge to the construction industry. To deal with the labor shortage, the ultimate goal of this study is to design and develop an automated robotic welding system composed of a welding machine, unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), robotic arm, and visual sensors. This paper proposes and focuses on automated weaving using the robotic arm. For automated welding operation, a microcontroller is used to control the switch and is added to a welding torch by physically modifying the hardware. Varying weave patterns are mathematically programmed. The automated weaving is tested using a brush pen and a ballpoint pen to clearly see the patterns and detect any changes in vertical forces by the arm during weaving. The results show that the weave patterns have sufficiently high consistency and precision to be used in the actual welding. Lastly, actual welding was performed, and the results are presented.

Making full use of material strength, maintaining sufficient ductility of structural components, and ensuring simple and robust connections are crucial to the development of steel-concrete composite structures. The steel-tubed concrete structure uses thin-walled steel tube to provide confinement, so that the strength and ductility of the concrete core are improved. Meanwhile, the thin-walled steel tube is terminated at the beam-column joint to avoid the local buckling problem and simplify the connections between steel tube and RC members. A brief overview of the development of steel-tubed concrete structures is presented. Through the discussion on the structural behavior of steel-tubed concrete and the introduction of typical practical projects, the prospects for future research are highlighted.

Structural health monitoring is a technology or research field that extends the service life of structures and contributes to the prevention of disaster accidents by continuously evaluating the safety, stability, and serviceability of structures as well as allowing timely and proper maintenance. However, the contact-type sensors used for it require considerable time, cost, and labor for installation and maintenance. As an alternative, computer vision has attracted attention recently. Computer vision has the potential to make quality, deformation, and damage monitoring for structures contactless and automated. In this study, research cases in which computer vision was utilized for structural health monitoring are introduced, and its effects and limitations are summarized. Therefore, the applicability and future research directions of computer vision-based structural health monitoring are discussed.

To study the vibration frequency of super high-rise buildings in the process of vortex induced vibration (VIV), wind tunnel tests of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) aero-elastic models were carried out to measure the vibration frequency of the system directly. The effects of structural damping, wind field category, mass density, reduced wind velocity ($V_r$), as well as VIV displacement on the VIV frequency were investigated systematically. It was found that the frequency drift phenomenon cannot be ignored when the building is very high and flexible. When $V_r$ is less than 8, the drift magnitude of the frequency is typically positive. When $V_r$ is close to the critical wind velocity of resonance, the frequency drift magnitude becomes negative and reaches a minimum at the critical wind velocity. When $V_r$ is larger than12, the frequency drift magnitude almost maintains a stable value that is slightly smaller than the fundamental frequency of the aero-elastic model. Furthermore, the vibration frequency does not lock in the vortex shedding frequency completely, and it can even be significantly modified by the vortex shedding frequency when the reduced wind velocity is close to 10.5.

This paper presents experimental and numerical study on seismic performance of a super tall steel tower structure. The steel tower, with a height of 388 meters, employs a steel space truss with spiral steel columns to serve as its main lateral load resisting system. Moreover, this space truss was surrounded by the spiral steel columns to form a steel mega system in order to support a 12-story platform building which is located from the height of 230 meters to 263 meters. A 1/40 scaled model for this tower structure was made and tested on shake table under a series of one- and two-dimensional earthquake excitations with gradually increasing acceleration amplitudes. The test model performed elastically up to the seismic excitations representing the earthquakes with a return period of 475 years, and the test model also survived with limited damages under the seismic excitations representing the earthquakes with a return period 2475 years. A finite element model for the prototype structure was further developed and verified. It was noted that the model predictions on dynamic properties and displacement responses agreed reasonably well with test results. The maximum inter-story drift of the tower structure was obtained, and the stress in the steel members was investigated. Results indicated that larger displacement responses were observed for the section from the height of 50 meters to 100 meters in the tower structure. For structural design, applicable measures should be adopted to increase the stiffness and ductility for this section in order to avoid excessive deformations, and to improve the serviceability of the prototype structure.

최근 경주 포항 등 대도시에서 지진이 발생하고 이에 각 분야에서의 내진해석 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 하지만 대부분의 기존 내진해석은 지상구조물과 지반을 따로 다루었기 때문에 지반과 구조물의 완전한 상호 동적거동에 대한 연구가 부족한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건물만 고려하는 지하구조물 고정단 모델과 건물과 지반을 함께 고려하는 연속체 모델을 각각 적용하기 위해 MIDAS GEN 및 MIDAS GTS NX를 이용하여 민감도 분석을 수행하고 SSI를 고려한 동적해석의 타당성을 살펴보았다. 연구 결과, 대부분의 조건에서 지하구조물 고정단 모델이 연속체 모델보다 초고층 건물의 최대 순수 수평변위를 더 작게, 휨응력을 더 크게, 또한, 취약부의 범위는 더 작게 산출하는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 내진해석 시 지반-구조물 상호작용을 고려한 연속체 모델을 사용하는 것이 보다 타당할 것으로 판단된다.
