  • Tall buildings have been traditionally designed to be symmetric rectangular, triangular or circular in plan, in order to avoid excessive seismic-induced torsional vibrations due to eccentricity, especially in seismic-prone regions like Japan. However, recent tall building design has been released from the spell of compulsory symmetric shape design, and free-style design is increasing. This is mainly due to architects' and structural designers' challenging demands for novel and unconventional expressions. Another important aspect is that rather complicated sectional shapes are basically good with regard to aerodynamic properties for crosswind excitations, which are a key issue in tall-building wind-resistant design. A series of wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulation have been carried out to determine aerodynamic forces and wind pressures acting on tall building models with various configurations: corner cut, setbacks, helical and so on. Dynamic wind-induced response analyses of these models have also been conducted. The results of these experiments have led to comprehensive understanding of the aerodynamic characteristics of tall buildings with various configurations.

  • This paper reviews shape optimization studies for tall and super-tall building design. Firstly, shape effects on aerodynamic and response characteristics are introduced and discussed. Effects of various configurations such as corner modifications, taper, setback, openings, and twists are examined. Comprehensive comparative studies on various configurations including polygon building models, and composite type building models such as corner-cut and taper, corner-cut and taper and helical, and so on, are also discussed under the conditions of the same height and volume. Aerodynamic characteristics are improved by increasing the twist angle of helical buildings and increasing the number of sides of polygon buildings, but a twist angle of $180^{\circ}$ and a number of sides of 5 (pentagon) seem to be enough. The majority of examined configurations show better aerodynamic characteristics than straight-square. In particular, composite type buildings and helical polygon buildings show significant improvement. Next, shape effects on pedestrian-level wind characteristics around tall and super-tall buildings are introduced and discussed. Corner modification buildings show significant reductions in speed-up areas. On the other hand, setback and tapered models with wider projected widths near the ground show adverse effects on pedestrian-level wind characteristics.

  • We have investigated the optical properties of plamonic waveguide with tapered structure based on InP material for photonic integrated circuit(PIC). The proposed plasmonic waveguide is covered with the Ag thin film to generate the plasmonic wave on metallic interface. The optical characteristics of plasmonic waveguide were calculated using the three-dimensional finite-difference time-domain method. The plasmonic waveguide was fabricated with the lengths of 2 to $10{\mu}m$ and the widths of 400 to 700 nm, respectively. The plasmonic mode and optical loss were measured. The optimum plasmonic length is $10{\mu}m$ and widths are 600 and 700 nm in the fabricated waveguide. This plasmonic waveguide can be directly integrated with other conventional optical devices and can be essential building blocks of PIC.

  • 최근 대형 장스팬 규모에 많이 적용되는 PEB 시스템은 휨모멘트의 크기에 따라 부재형상을 최적화 한 변단면부재를 사용함으로써 경제적인 경쟁력을 갖는 구조시스템이다. 그러나 PEB 시스템의 관련기술은 대부분 외국에서 수입된 것으로 구조거동에 관한 연구 및 국내 설계규준이 미비하다. 특히 PEB 시스템에서의 변단면부재(래프터)들은 비조밀단면(noncompact section) 또는 세장단면(slender section)을 갖는 경우가 많으므로 좌굴에 대한 영향을 많이 받게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 웨브의 판폭두께비, 스티프너 유무, 횡비지지길이 등을 변수로 하여 총 4개의 실대형 실험체를 제작 휨성능 실험을 수행하였다. 이에 대하여 세장한 웨브 변단면 부재의 구조 안정성을 실험적으로 평가하고 PEB 시스템의 설계를 위한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다.

  • P.E.B(Pre-Engineering Building) 시스템은 휨모멘트의 크기에따라 부재형상을 최적화한 변단면부재로 설계 사용하는 경제적인 시스템을 의미한다. 이러한 P.E.B 시스템에서 변단면부재의 접합은 일반 철골접합인 마찰접합이 어렵기 때문에 현장조립이 간편한 엔드플레이트 접합이 사용되고 있다. 지압형 인장접합인 엔드플레이트 접합방식은 국내 P.E.B 시스템의 가장 일반적인 접합방식이며, 이미 그 안정성이 안전하다고 판명되었다. 그러나 이러한 엔드플레이트 접합부의 현장볼트 체결시공에 있어서 엔드플레이트와 변단면보 또는 리브의 용접에 의한 열변형 등으로 인해 엔드플레이트의 수직불량이 발생하여 현장에서 설치된 접합부의 벌어짐 현상이 관측되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 엔드플레이트 초기접합 결함(간격)을 실험변수로 하여 휨모멘트를 받는 엔드플레이트 접합부의 볼트에 대한 허용내력을 조사하여 구조안정성 검토를 수행하였다.

  • The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between the structural system used in modern architecture and the form and spatial composition of the buildings. The principle in stabilization of structures is closely related to the architectural form. That is, in order to stabilize a building, a special type of structural system is required and consequently shows up with consistent characteristics in the architectural form. Modern architecture can be classified into skeleton structure, trusses structure, and space structure according to the structural characteristics. Skeleton structure is then divided into a perpendicular form and tapered form. Trusses structure is categorized as dome-shaped structure and slab-shaped structure, and space structure can be divided into compressible space structure and tensile space structure. When classifies the modern building with the aspect of architectural effect, there is a possibility of trying to divide with effect of production, and its expression. Effect of production mean structural system and effect of expression mean space and plan.

  • 근래에 들어와서 3T (Twisted, Tapered, Tilted)로 대별되는 비정형 초고층 건축물이 다수 계획되고 있다. 이러한 비정형 초고층 건물을 위해서 구조적인 효율성 및 조형성 때문에 다이어그리드 구조시스템이 현재까지 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 구조시스템 중의 하나이다. 건축적인 조형미 등의 이유로 경사진 비정형 초고층 건물에 대한 계획안이 다수 발표되고 있으며 다수의 구조물들이 다이어그리드 구조시스템을 활용하고 있다. 경사진 비정형 초고층 건물은 횡하중뿐만 아니라 자중에 의해서도 횡방향 변위가 발생한다. 따라서 정형적인 초고층 건물보다 횡방향 응답을 저감시카는 젓이 더 중요한 문제로 대두된다. 본 연구에서는 경사진 다이어그리드 비정형 초고층 건물의 지진응답을 저감시키기 위하여 스마트 TMD를 적용하였고 그 제어성능을 평가하였다. 스마트 TMD를 구성하기 위하여 MR 감쇠기를 사용하였으며 스마트 TMD는 그라운드훅 제어알고리즘을 사용하여 제어하였다. 100 층의 예제구조물에 대하여 제어를 하지 않은 경우와, 일반적인 TMD를 사용한 경우, 그리고 스마트 TMD를 사용하여 제어한 경우를 비교 검토하였다. 수지해석결과 스마트 TMD가 변위 응답 제어에는 우수한 성능을 나타냈지만 가속도응답제어에는 효과적이지 못했다.

  • In the present study, the various dynamic properties of MWCNT embedded fiber reinforced polymer uniform and tapered composite (MWCNT-FRP) plates are investigated. Various configurations of a tapered composite plate with ply-drop off and uniform composite plate have been considered for the development of the finite element formulation and experimental investigations. First order shear deformation theory (FSDT) has been used to derive the kinetic and potential energy equations of the hybrid composite plates by including the effect of rotary inertia, shear deformation and non-uniformity in thickness of the plate. The governing equations of motion of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement are derived by considering a nine- node rectangular element with five degrees of freedom (DOF) at each node. The effectiveness of the developed finite element formulation has been demonstrated by comparing the natural frequencies and damping ratio of FRP composite plates without and with MWCNT reinforcement obtained experimentally. Various parametric studies are also performed to study the effect of CNT volume fraction and CNT aspect ratio of the composite plate on the natural frequencies of different configurations of CNT reinforced hybrid composite plates. Further the forced vibration analysis is performed to compare the dynamic response of the various configurations of MWCNT-GFRP composite plate with GFRP composite plate under harmonic excitations. It was observed that the fundamental natural frequency and damping ratio of the GFRP composite plate increase approximately 8% and 37% respectively with 0.5wt% reinforcement of MWCNT under CFCF boundary condition. The natural frequencies of MWCNT-GFRP hybrid composite plates tend to decrease with the increase of MWCNT volume fraction beyond 2% due to agglomeration of CNT's. It is also observed that the aspect ratio of the CNT has negligible effect on the improvement of dynamics properties due to randomly orientation of CNT's.

  • Aeroelastic wind tunnel experiments were conducted for conventional and tapered super-tall building models to investigate the effect of taper on fundamental aeroelastic behaviors in various incident flows. Three incident flows were simulated: a turbulent boundary-layer flow representing urban area; a low-turbulent flow; and a grid-generated flow. Results were summarized focusing on the effect of taper and the effect of incident flows. The suppression of responses by introducing taper was profound in the low-turbulence flow and boundary-layer flow, but in the grid-generated flow, the response becomes larger than that of the square model when the wind is applied normal to the surface. The effects of taper and incident flows were clearly shown on the normalized responses, power spectra, stability diagrams and probability functions.
