  • In view of the importance of the wind-structure interaction for tall and slender structures, an aeroelastic model test of the 610m-high TV tower with a complex and unique structural configuration and appearance carried out successfully. The assembled aeroelastic model of the TV tower with complex shape and structure was designed and made to ensure the similarities of the major natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes. The simulation of the atmospheric boundary layer with higher turbulent intensity is presented. Since the displacement and acceleration responses at several measurement sections were directly measured in the wind tunnel test, a multi-mode approach was presented to indirectly estimate the displacement and acceleration responses at arbitrary structural floors based on the measured ones. It can be seen that it is remarkable for the displacement and acceleration responses of the TV tower in the two horizontal directions under wind loads and is small for the dynamic response of the torsional displacement and acceleration.

  • Recently, the structural design code has been changed and every buildings, which have more than three floors or wider area than 1,000m2, should be designed to be able to resist earthquakes. However, most structural engineers are working in some big cities and this physical distance would set a barrier between structural engineers and architects. As a result, most row-rise buildings in small cities are designed and constructed without structural design or the consulting by structural engineers. The purpose of this research is to develop an web-based structural design environment in which structural design and consulting can be performed efficiently through on-line communication without off-line meetings or documents. In addition to the on-line communication, the system has a integrated structural design module which supports all the process of structural design and can increases the productivity of structural design work.

  • In general, the vertical vibration problems for .strength of members and serviceability of building structures are not considered in structural design process, but the prediction of the vertical vibration is very important and essential to structural design process. This study aims to investigate the characteristics of vertical vibration in terms of the transfer of horizontal directions on the rahmen building structures. In order to examine the characteristics of vertical vibration, the modal test and the impact (heel-drop and hammer) excitation experiments were conducted several times on three building structures. The results from the experiments are analyzed and compared. with the results. The results of this study suggest that the characteristics of vertical vibration transfer in horizontal way are effected from the fundamental frequency of the slabs and excitation forces.

  • 현재 고층 빌딩의 규모가 대형화, 고층화 되어감에 따라 엘리베이터 시스템의 성능 향상 연구가 활발히 추진되며, 엘리베이터 시스템의 성능향상은 모든 이용자들이 현재 층에서 목적 층까지 최대한 신속하게 이동할 수 있도록 서비스향상을 목적으로 한다. 요즘은 하나의 승장에 여러 개의 엘리베이터가 부속되어 상호협조적인 운행으로 이용자들의 대기시간을 극소화 하고 있으나 제한적인 조건에서 융통성 있는 퍼지 시스템을 적용한다면 에너지 절감과 경우에 따라 대기시간을 줄일 수 있다고 생각한다. 본 논문에서는 현재 층수와 층과의 거리를 검출하여 퍼지기법을 이용하여 손실 여부를 판단 후, 기존의 엘리베이터보다 효율적인 방법을 제안한다.

  • The floor impact sound insulations are installed frequently for reducing the floor impact sound into the floor slab of the residential buildings in recent years. Therefore the analytical FE model considering the insulations is needed for the sound and vibration analysis of the floor and it is necessary to use a refined finite element model for considering the large number of modes involving in the dynamic responses. So it is very difficult to use FE model because of the tiresome task for constructing the FE model, taking a lot of times for analysis and the impossibility of using the proportional damping. The efficient analysis and modeling method are proposed to the dynamic analysis for the floor with floor impact sound insulations in this study. The floor slabs and finished layers are modeled individually and the spring elements that mean floor impact sound insulations use to connect two parts. The dynamic analysis by the $Newmark-{\beta}$ method is performed to solve the non-proportional damping problem due to the damping coefficient of insulations .

  • Numerical analysis has been conducted to simulate pedestrian flow in the model of two-storied subway station. Because almost all the subway stations are two or three storied structure, simulations are conducted for the passengers those who get off the train and pass the wicket. Passenger flow analysis is very important factor to design the station and also to manage the operation of subway system. In the subway station, pedestrians move to the horizontal directions as well as vertical ones. Therefore, to consider the movement of pedestrians is necessary for the guarantee of safety and conveniency. As the up and down floors are connected with step, escalator and elevator, the entire movements in the multi-storied station should be simulated as like a 3-dimensional flow. Numerical schemes for the directional sweeping are developed to prevent the dependency on physical structure of station and to determine primary direction and secondary one. By using the developed program, we compared the simulation results of the effects of the location and size of exit and elapsed time.

  • The floor structure of railway vehicles consists of plywood, rubber, and wood keystone plate which affects on the comfort of passengers. Its structural characteristics has been investigated experimentally and numerically for samples of beam and plate structure, and the real floor structure in this paper. The material properties of etch part measured directly by experiments. The deformation and stress distribution of the sample beams for 6 different joints were sought experimentally and calculated using a commercial software. The numerical calculation shows that the effect of friction and clearance between joints is crucial. The DMU/EMU plates were also experimented and compared for different loading conditions. The structural characteristics of the whole floor structure were calculated numerically. The results show that the method of joint between plywoods is an important factor to decide the strength of the floor structure of railway vehicles.

  • It has been known that the application of an airflow window system reduces the energy consumption compared with conventional double pane window in a building. But how to analyze thermal load in a building with an airflow window system has not been well known. so two kinds of method (Mode 1 and Mode 2) to analyze time dependent thermal load of the building with an airflow window system are presented in this study. The results of load analysis about the model building(total area : $4521m^2$, 3 floors) by Mode 2 show that the maximum cooling and heating load in a building with an airflow window system are decreased about 12-17% and about 19.5% than with double pane glass window, and yearly energy consumption with an airflow window system is saved about about 20% than with double pane glass window.
