The tall building and super tall building has been a common building type in China, with multiple functions and complex geometry. Composite construction is broadly used in tall building structures and constitutes the mixed structure together with concrete and steel constructions. The mixture of the constructions is purposely designed for specific area based on the analysis results to achieve the best cost-effectiveness. New types of composite construction are conceived of by engineers for columns and walls. Material distribution is more flexible and innovative in the structural level and member level. However the reliability of computer model analysis should be verified carefully. Further researches in the design and build of composite construction are necessary to ensure the success of its application. Composite or Mixture Index is suggested to be used as a performance benchmark.

Leakage in the structure due to the irregular flow of groundwater in the underground structure penetrates into internal spaces such as underground parking lots and basement through underground walls, which is expensive in terms of maintenance of the building. In this study, various composite waterproofing methods installed on the outer walls of underground structures were selected to evaluate the structural performance of composite specimens due to bending behavior through experiments and analysis on bending test behavior on concrete attachment surfaces.

This study is aimed at investigating the dynamic performance of a composite building structure under seismic ground motions. The building structure is an official fire department building located in southern Taiwan. It is composed of a seven-story reinforced concrete (RC) and an eight-story steel reinforced concrete (SRC) frame. Both frames share a common basement and are separated by expansion joints from the first to the seventh floor. Recorded floor accelerations of the building structure under eight earthquakes occurring during the period from 2011 to 2013 were examined in this paper. It is found that both frames had similar floor acceleration amplifications in the longitudinal direction, while the SRC frame revealed larger response than the RC frame in the transverse direction. Almost invariant and similar fundamental periods under the eight earthquakes in both directions were obtained from their transfer functions. Furthermore, numerical time-history simulations were carried out for the building structure under the most intensive earthquake. It is realized that the seismic response of the composite building was dominated by the first translational mode in each horizontal direction. Higher modes did not significantly contribute to the structural response. The conventional Rayleigh damping model could be appropriately applied to the time-history simulations under bi-directional excitations. Approximate floor acceleration envelopes were obtained with a compound RC and SRC structural model by using the average damping ratios determined from the different structural arrays.

Stud penetrate welding is an important item of composite floor in modern steel structure, especially in high-rise buildings. But it is difficult to get satisfied welding quality due to all kinds of factors. In this paper, the author put forward a new welding procedure named method of energy control through analysis and comparison of the wave curves of stud welding based on large amount of experiments and tests in laboratory and construction areas. The use of this welding procedure in some large engineering in recent years proved that this method is effective and practicable

The butt-joint system is widely used as the method of roof composite waterproofing system. However, there is stilll no objective research about proper distance, and proper structure associated with the performance in butt-joint system. In this research, we find proper distance and proper structure in butt-joint system through tensile strength test at joint, and comparative analyze with practical construction material of composite waterproofing sheet.

This study is conducted for prevent spread of penetration water and water leakage through non-woven fabric between PVC sheet and PVC sheet in the PVC composite waterproofing sheet of a multi-layer structure. For this, carry out absorption amount test to confirm spread resistance performance after manufacturing PVC composite waterproofing sheet of a multi-layer structure using water-repellency processed non-woven fabric. As a result of test, weight of water-repellency processed non-woven fabric increased to 1.178g, Compared with beginning and there are not penetration water.

"Samsung Composite Shear Wall System" has its basis on "Samung Able System". "Samsung Able System" has some problems not only in the connection structure but also in waterproofing and soundproofing. We developed "Samsung Composite Shear Wall System" in order to solve these matters and expand PC system. "Samsung Composite Shear Wall System" is the compromise and complement of all the merits of full PC, half PC and in-situ concrete system.

There is a risk that the damage caused by frequent earthquakes can lead to the risk of personal injury due to cracks in buildings and collapse of major structures. Although the seismic design of the new building is designed to be reinforced, the existing structure is not exposed to the risk of earthquake. Therefore, it is aimed to develop the steel frame type CFT composite method which can easily reinforce the CFT structural system with excellent seismic performance against the old non - seismic structure.

In this study, we propose an innovative lateral force distribution building system between tall buildings by utilizing the difference of moment of inertia, as the alternative design for highly integrated city area. Considering a tri-axial symmetric conditions and boundary conditions for the three-dimensional building structure system, a two-dimensional model is composed. In the proposed indeterminate structural model, important design variables are determined for obtaining minimum horizontal deflections, reactions and bending moments at the ground level of the buildings. Regarding a case of the provided two spatial structures connected to 4 buildings, the optimum location of middle located spatial structure is 45% from the top of the building, which minimize the end moments at the bottom of the buildings. In the considered verification examples, reduced drifts at the top location of the building systems are validated against static wind pressure loads and static earthquake loads. The suggested hybrid building system will improve the safety and reliability of the system due to the added internal truss-dome structures in terms of more than 30% reduced drift and vibration through the development of convergence of tall buildings and spatial structures.

As deep decks are commonly used in construction fields and high-rise building. etc, the slim floor system is increasingly employed. But, the drawback of the slim floor system is that the use of 250 mm deep decks in a structure having a clear span of more than 6 m because of deflection and flexural buckling. This study suggests a non-support construction method where tendons are installed in the deep decks of the slim floor structure to introduce preload in order to control deflection in a structure having a clear span of 9 m. Loading tests were conducted to verify the composite effect and flexural capacity of the preloaded deep deck composite slab and evaluate the serviceability of the supportless construction method. The results showed the complete composite behavior of the preloaded deep deck composite slab with tendons. The specimens satisfied deflection limit and the working load was approximately 25% of the maximum load capacity. It is deemed that the cross-sectional area and yield strength of the deck plate should be taken into account in slab design and the yield strength and diameter of the tendon should be determined with the pre-tension taken into consideration.
