  • In the representation of buildings with continuous changes in the curved shape of the surface, countless plans or sections are required, or none of the traditional drawings can explain the geometry of it. In other words, in no case can an ordinary drawing achieve the efficient and clear communication capability which is inherent function of the drawings. As a result, the current architects are introducing their own way of drawing technique which is developed in accordance with a specific curved shape, construction method or company resources, but this is not what can be applied to other cases because it has not been ever shared or agreed in the industry. In this process, the drawing or construction of curved building has been recognized as the exclusive property of a specific expert, or the design and construction without the in-depth understanding of the technology have resulted in the appearance of poor buildings. Therefore, this study aims to present an elements and method that can convey shape information more effectively and clearly in the drawing representation of non-linear buildings and, thus, contributes to lowering the barriers to entry into the field by providing the information to be easily applied to related projects. In order to attain this goal, the drawings of recently completed projects of free form building are analyzed to reveal the method used to effectively express the shape information of the building and to derive new drawing elements that have not been applied to the existing drawings.

  • Although studies of the sacral corridor dimension have been reported in the European population, little attention has been paid to this issue in the Asian population. The purpose of the study is to estimate the safe dimension of the corridor to avoid neurovascular damage during the fixation of the sacral fracture. The study aimed to examine the cephalocaudal (vertical) and the anteroposterior diameter of the bony passage in the upper three sacral segments. The study further examines the effect of age and sex on corridor dimensions at different sacral levels. Three-dimensionally reconstructed sacra from computed tomography of normal subjects were included in the study. Cephalocaudal and anteroposterior diameters were measured in coronal and axial sections using Geomagic Freeform Plus software. Anteroposterior diameter of the sacral corridor at the first, second, and third sacral segments are significantly higher in males (P=0.013, 0.0011, and <0.0001, respectively). The length of the sacrum also revealed sexual dimorphism (P<0.00016). The anteroposterior diameter of the second sacral segment (ap-S2c) correlated moderately with the first sacral anteroposterior diameter (ap-S1c) (R=0.519, P<0.001). The ap-S2c exhibited a moderate correlation to the third sacral segment (ap-S3c) (R=0.677, P<0.001). The sacral corridor at the level of S1 has the largest cephalocaudal (18.25 mm) and anteroposterior diameter (17.11 mm). Placement of the screw in the first sacral corridor may avoid damage to the neurovascular bundle during the fixation of the sacral fracture.

  • 현대 건축은 기능적이고 합리적이었지만 획일적이었던 박스형 건축에서 탈피해 형태와 공간에 있어서 다양한 변화를 시도하고 있다. 특별한 건축물의 실현을 위해 각 나라의 기술력은 급속한 발전을 이루었고, 보다 더 독특한 건축물에 대한 관심은 비정형 건축물에 대한 관심의 증대로 이어지고 있다. 이러한 비정형 건축물에 적합한 구조로써 프리폼(Free-Form) 구조가 있다. 프리폼 구조로 입체골조(Double Layered Structure)를 많이 사용하였으나, 최근 유리로 되어 투명하고 기하학적 모양의 건축물을 추구함에 따라 평면골조(Single Layered Structure)가 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 평면골조는 축력 지배형과 모멘트 지배형으로 분류할 수 있고 프리폼 구조의 구성 요소 중 가장 취약하고 중요한 부분은 노드이다. 본 연구에서는 프리폼 구조 중 가장 큰 관심이 고조되고 있는 평면골조 모멘트 지배형의 노드에 대한 국내외 기술 분석을 통해 향후 연구 방향성을 제시하고자 한다. 입체골조는 하나의 노드에 여러개의 부재가 3차원으로 결합되어야 하기 때문에 다른 골조 시스템에 비해 노드부가 복잡하지만, 건축물의 외관을 유리로 하여 투명하게 하고 비틀리고 구부러진 구조물에 대한 건축적 요구가 많아짐에 따라 평면골조의 인기가 높아지고 있다. 이러한 시대의 흐름에 발맞추어 건물의 구조적, 기하학적 요구를 충족시키기 위해 다양한 노드 시스템이 개발 중이며, 가해지는 하중의 특성에 따라 축력 지배형과 모멘트 지배형으로 구분하여 노드의 양상을 분류할 수 있다. 축력 지배형의 대표적인 시스템은 다이아그리드(Diagrid)이다. 축력 지배형 프리폼 구조의 노드는 전체 구조물의 하중을 축력으로 받아 모두 전달해야 하기 때문에 크기가 크고 가새가 2~4개층에 걸쳐서 설치되기 때문에 중량이다. 모멘트 지배형 노드를 갖는 프리폼 구조의 형태는 대부분 지붕 구조로써 지붕 자체의 하중만을 견디도록 설계된다. 따라서 노드부와 노드에 붙는 부재들이 가볍기 때문에 사람이 들 수 있고 노드의 크기가 작아 시공성이 좋으며 대량 생산이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 노드의 형태는 힘의 흐름과 쓰임에 따라 다양하다. 평면골조 모멘트 지배형의 노드는 접합방식에 따라 Splice node connection과 End-Face node connection 두 가지로 분류할 수 있다. Splice node connection은 각 부재의 종축으로 노드와 구조부재 사이에 이음재를 두어 연결하고, 연결 형태에 따라 전단력을 전달할 수 있는 1~2개의 접촉면이 생긴다. 전단응력을 받는 볼트로 이음재를 이어 조립하거나 용접으로 접합할 수 있다. 대표 노드로, SBP-1, SBP-2와 POLO-1 등이 있다. End-Face node connection은 각 연결된 부재의 단부와 노드 사이의 연결면은 종축방향의 수직이고, 인장응력을 받는 볼트를 사용하거나 용접에 의해 접합할 수 있다. 대표 노드로 SBP-4, WABI-1, MERO-1(Cylinder), MERO-2(Block), MERO-4(Double Dish) 등이 있다. 본 기술 현황 분석을 통해 현재 개발된 노드를 분류하고 가장 관심이 높은 Single Layer 모멘트 지배형 노드를 비교, 분석하였다. 최근 건물의 경향을 반영한 프리폼 구조를 실현하기 위해서 필수적인 노드의 개발은 국외에서 활발히 연구되고 있지만 그 기술이 개방되어 있지 않다. 국내에서는 동대문 디자인 플라자에 새로운 노드를 적용하고 고려대학교에서 모멘트 지배형 노드를 개발하는 등 발전 가능성을 보이고 있지만 국외 사례들에 비하면 아직 초기 단계라 할 수 있다. 따라서 현장 용접을 지양하고 공장 제작하여 현장에서 조립하며, 프로젝트 별로 상이한 노드를 사용하는 것이 아닌 다양한 요구를 효과적으로 수용하는 구조 효율성을 향상시킨 노드 상세의 개발이 이루어져야 할 것이다.

  • Recently, the interest and demand on free formed structure providing aesthetic value as well as functionality has been increasing. Formwork has numerous advantages such as high strength, convenience, accuracy and good quality of surface roughness. Nevertheless, it increases construction cost and period to build complex shapes. For these purpose, deposition construction systems such as Contour Crafting and Concrete Printing have been developed with active collaboration between university and industry by applying the rapid prototyping technology to the construction industry in USA and England. Since there has been no related research in Korea, the possibility of spin-off technology and its fusion cannot be expected. In this paper, design elements including mechanical system and control system related to automatic deposition construction system prototype for constructing a free curved structure without mold are described. As for an appropriate material for the system, fiber reinforced mortar was selected by experiments on compressive strength, fluidity, viscosity and setting time. By performing transfer and extrusion experiments, the possibility of the development of deposition construction system was demonstrated. Based on this research results, it is required to keep the automatic deposition construction system improve and extend it into the new application area in construction industry.

  • In recent years, the design of buildings is changing from formal to creative and freeform. Accordingly, the scale of construction technology is changing to architectural design and construction of irregular buildings. Using the FDM method, which is one of the 3D printing technologies, it is possible to manufacture various forms of irregular formwork inexpensively and quickly coMPared to the existing formwork, and it seems to be able to solve the manpower problem. Using a 3D printer, the PLA filament formwork is produced in the form of a cylinder and a rectangular cuboid, and the usability of the PLA filament formwork is confirmed by examining the compression strength test and the degree of deformation and reusability over 28 days of age. Different sizes of additional specimens are also conducted according to the size. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the filament formwork itself has about 3~4MPa strength. As a result of reviewing data through existing linear studies and experiments, it is appropriate to use more than 60% infill, and it is advantageous in terms of strength. As a result of cutting and dismantling the filament formwork, the surface is very clean and there is no damage, so it can be reused.

  • Modern society needs constantly the rationality and the efficiency, and this flow of the time has become the paradigm of the whole society. This paradigm has a large influence on the architectural design and industry. Modern technology represented by the development of digital instrument and Information Technology through internet has created and developed two big trend, Parametric Design and BIM(Building information Modeling) in the architectural design and industry. These technologies, though created for different reasons, have a lot of influence on the architectural design and industry for a common purpose such as efficiency and rationality across the boundaries. In this context, this research will be embodied through the example about how parametric design should be made in the beginning of pre-design phase for BIM application. This research aims to consider the design process of Walt Diseny Consert Hall, the work of Frank O. Ghery, a deconstructivism architect, and to embody the shape of National Nederlanden Building in Prague, the Czech Republic, using parametric design tool in pre-design phase. This research later aims to be used as the basic data that can be applied to the entire architectural industry from a planning and a detailed design to a construction for the ultimate BIM application beyond the range of parametric design in pre-design phase. Later, the plan using the parametric design algorithm and BIM application in construction document phase will be conducted.

  • In the maps of the period, there were three large ponds called Dongji(東池), Seoji(西池) and Namji(南池) in Hanyang, the capital of Joseon Dynasty. They were different than the ponds found in the palace, civic buildings, and private dwellings. Dongji, Seoji and Namji were ponds relating to Fortress wall of Seoul, and all had lotuses cultivated in them. The purpose of this paper is to clarify the locational and spatial characteristics of these ponds and to detail the construction and reconstruction process and management conditions through maps, drawings, illustrations, historical records and literary works from the urban environmental perspective. The results are as follows. First, Seoji and Namji were intended for Bibo(裨補) which redeemed the geographical weaknesses of Hanyang, securement of bright court water(明堂水), supplement for fire energy(火氣), fire preventive water and waterscape facilities, while Dongji was emphasized on protecting water mouth(水口) besides Bibo and securement of bright court water. Second, Seoji was connected to mountain streams and Dongji and Namji were to ditches. The ponds connected to ditches had been difficult to fill and maintain. Third, Seoji and Namji were in urban areas, whereas Dongji was in farmlands, and these locational differences had an influence on the use of ponds. Fourth, the shapes of ponds, in contrast to the ponds in palace and civic buildings, which were perfectly square, were either freeform or square with rounded edges. Fifth, lotus ponds could be maintained by continuous management polices, earth filling and reconstructing process were repeated during the Joseon Dynasty. The lotus ponds of Fortress Wall of Seoul which had managed over 500 years, were built in, in accordance with the tenets of Bibo pungsu geomancy; however as time passed, they were maintained not only as public open spaces, but also a cultural attraction for residents and visitors.
