Recently, the condensation and mold problems of apartment buildings has been growing due to high insulation and high air-tightness performance for energy saving. Most of all, occupants in residential buildings has suffered from property damages due to the condensation and mold of built-in furniture. Condensation at built-in furniture were generally found in winter at the of furniture's back panels, adjacent surfaces of wall, floor and ceiling. The aim of paper is to analyze the characteristics of adjacent area around built-in furniture's condensation problem and the thermal environment around the built-in furniture in winter through the field measurements at apartment buildings. In this research, the thermal conditions and surface temperature around the built-in furniture were measured during winter season. In this research, we analyzed thermal conditions for built-in furniture which were applied and not applied auxiliary heating device. In results, it is important to consider increasing surface temperature for using heater and decreasing absolute humidity due to the occupants' behavior around built-in furniture for preventing condensation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate condensation prevention for condensation vulnerable areas around built-in furniture of apartment buildings by applying auxiliary heating device. Recently, the condensation and mold problems of apartment buildings has been growing due to high insulation and high air-tightness performance for energy saving. Condensation at built-in furniture were generally found in winter at the of furniture's back panels, adjacent surfaces of wall, floor and ceiling. These problems are related to the weather conditions and indoor room conditions in winter. To solve these problems, auxiliary heating device was developed and could be installed. The aim of paper is to analyze the thermal environment around the built-in furniture which were applied and not applied auxiliary heating device in winter. In results, it was possible to increase the surface temperature of vulnerable areas around built-in furniture by applying auxiliary heating device, and to minimize condensation problems by using the minimum device.

Unsymmetrical high-rise buildings (HRBs) subjected to earthquake represent a difficult challenge to structural engineering, especially taking into consideration the effect of soil-structure interaction (SSI). L-shape in plan HRBs suffer from big straining actions when are subjected to an earthquake (in x- or y-direction, or both x- and y- directions). Additionally, the disastrous effect of seismic pounding may appear between two adjacent unsymmetrical HRBs. For two unsymmetrical L-shape in plan HRBs subjected to earthquake in three different direction cases (x, y, or both), including the SSI effect, different methods are investigated to mitigate the seismic pounding and thus protect these types of structures under the earthquake effect. The most effective technique to mitigate the seismic pounding and help in seismically protecting these adjacent HRBs is found herein to be the use of a combination of pounding tuned mass dampers (PTMDs) all over the height (at the connection points) together with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) on the top of both buildings.

인접 구조물의 지진응답 제어를 위한 비선형 감쇠시스템의 최적 설계 방법에 관하여 연구하였다. 최적 설계를 위한 목적 함수로는 구조물의 응답과 감쇠기의 총 사용량을 고려하였으며, 상충하는 두 목적함수를 합리적인 수준에서 동시에 최소화하는 해를 구하기 위하여 유전자 알고리즘에 기반한 다목적 최적화 방법을 도입하였다. 또한, 최적화 과정에서 요구되는 비선형 시간이력해석을 수행하지 않고도, 비선형 이력감쇠기로 연결된 구조물의 지진응답을 효율적으로 평가하기 위하여 추계학적 선형화 방법을 접목하였다. 제시하는 방법의 효율성을 검증하기 위한 수치 예로서 20층과 10층의 인접 빌딩을 고려하였으며, 두 빌딩을 연결하는 비선형 감쇠시스템으로는 입력전압의 크기에 따라 변화하는 감쇠성능을 보이는 MR 감쇠기를 도입하였다. 제시하는 방법을 통하여 MR 감쇠기의 각 층별 최적 개수 및 감쇠용량을 결정할 수 있었으며, 이는 일반적인 균등분포 시스템에 비해 유사한 제어성능을 보이면서도 훨씬 경제적이었다. 또한, 인접구조물간 충돌에 대하여도 확률적으로 안정적인 거동을 보임을 검증하였으며, 제시하는 방법이 준능동 제어시스템의 최적 배치를 결정하기 위한 설계문제에도 적용할 수 있음을 보였다.

Wind-induced interference effects on a building are the result of one or more adjacent buildings modifying the flow of wind around it, which may result in a significant increase or decrease in wind loads on the building. Wind loading standards and codes of practice offer little guidance to the designer for assessing the effects of interference. Experimental results on interference effects indicate that code recommendations may be significantly low (unsafe) or uneconomically conservative. The paper presents results of an extensive experimental program to study the wind flow mechanisms and to quantify the extent of wind load modifications on buildings due to interference effects. These results have been simplified and presented from the point-of-view of design and codification for the case of two buildings. Based on these results, general guidelines and limiting conditions defining wind interference are formulated and discussed.

Among various retrofitting strategies, use of semi-active control for retrofitting a building structure has gained momentum in recent years. One of the techniques for such retrofitting is to connect a weaker building to an adjacent stronger building by semi-active devices, so that performances of a weaker building are significantly improved for seismic forces. In this paper, a ten storey weaker building is connected to an adjacent stronger building using magneto-rheological (MR) dampers, for primarily improving the performance of the weaker building in terms of displacement, drift and base shear. For this, a fuzzy logic controller is specifically developed by fuzzyfying the responses of the coupled system. The performance of the control strategy is compared with the passive-on and passive-off controls. Pounding Mitigation between the two buildings is also investigated using all three control strategies. The results show that there exists a fundamental frequency ratio between the two buildings for which maximum control of the weaker building response takes place with no penalty on the stronger building. There exists also a fundamental frequency ratio where control of the weaker building response is achieved at the expense of the amplification of the stronger building. However, coupling strategy always improves the possibility of pounding mitigation.

본 논문에서는 다중재난하중을 받는 인접건물의 동적응답에 대한 연결제어기법의 제어성능을 수치해석적인 방법을 사용하여 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 강진지역인 LA 지역의 지진하중과 강풍지역인 찰스턴 지역의 풍하중을 사용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 인공 지진하중과 풍하중은 ASCE 7-10을 바탕으로 생성하였고 인공지진하중은 SIMQKE을 사용하여 작성하였으며 인공풍하중은 Kaimal Spectrum을 이용하여 작성하였다. 10층 및 20층의 인접구조물을 예제구조물로 사용하였고 비선형 이력댐퍼를 이용하여 연결제어를 하였다. 비선형 이력댐퍼를 간편하게 모형화하기 위하여 주로 MR 감쇠기를 모형화 할 때 사용하는 Bouc-Wen 모델을 사용하였다. 비선형 이력댐퍼는 10층에만 설치한 경우와 1층에서 10층까지 모든 층에 설치한 경우에 대해서 고려하였다. 각 층에 사용하는 댐퍼의 개수를 증가시킨 파라메터 스터디를 수행하였고 지진하중 및 풍하중에 대한 최적의 성능을 보이는 설계안을 검토하였다. 수치해석결과 비선형 이력댐퍼를 이용한 연결제어를 통하여 다중재난 하중에 대한 인접건물의 동적응답을 효과적으로 저감시킬 수 있었고 각각의 재난하중에 대한 최적설계결과가 다르게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 연결되는 감쇠기를 과도하게 사용하면 오히려 구조물의 응답을 증가시킬 수 있으므로 주의 깊은 설계과정이 필요함을 알 수 있었다.

This article aims to investigate the possible retrofitting of a deficient building with soft story failure mode by connecting it to an adjacent building which is designed based on current code with friction dampers at all floors. Low cost and high performance reliability along with significant energy dissipation pertaining to stable hysteretic loops may be considered in order to choose the proper damper for connecting adjacent buildings. After connecting two neighbouring floors by friction dampers, the sliding forces of dampers at various stories are set in two arrangements: uniform sliding force and then variable sliding force. In order to account for the stochastic nature of the seismic events, incremental dynamic analyses are employed prior and after the installation of the friction dampers at the various floors. Based on these results, fragility curves and mean annual rate of exceedance of serviceability and ultimate limit states are obtained. The results of this study show that the collapse mode of the deficient building can affect the optimum arrangement of sliding forces of friction dampers at Collapse Prevention (CP) performance level. In particular, the Immediate Occupancy (IO) performance level is not tangible to the sliding force arrangement and it depends solely on sliding force value. Generally it can be claimed that this rehabilitation scheme can turn the challenge of pounding two adjacent buildings into the opportunity of dissipating a large amount of the seismic input energy by the friction dampers, thus improving significantly the poor seismic performance of the deficient structure.
