It's been a decade since post-tension system began to be applied in earnest to buildings in Korea. In the meantime, post-tension system has been used in various buildings as main structural system including tall buildings. And post-tension system plays a role to overcome architectural limit of regular RC tall buildings particularly in the realization of long span with shallower depth than other structural system. The post-tensioned building market of Korea has been steadily grown in recent years with such advantage. Recently, post-tension technology is adapted for special structural members like belt walls. In this paper, the authors would like to explain design and construction of tall buildings in Korea using post-tension technology.

This research aims to assess the behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) residential buildings when moment-resisting frames (MRFs) are used as the lateral resisting system. This investigation was conducted using MIDAS Gen v.19.0. Buildings with various plan footprints (Square, Rectangular, Circular, Triangular, and Plus-Shaped), and different heights (15 m, 30 m, 45 m, and 60 m) are investigated. The defined load cases, the equivalent static lateral load pattern, and the response spectrum function were defined as stated by the American Standard (ASCE 7-16), the 1997 Uniform Building Code (UBC97), the Egyptian Code for Loads (ECP-201), and the European Standard (EC8). Extensive comparisons of the results obtained by the different codes (including the story displacement, the story drift, and the base shear) were undertaken; to assess the response of moment-resisting multi-story framed buildings under lateral loads. The results revealed that, for all study cases under consideration, both ECP-201 and EC8 gave smaller base shear, displacement, and drift by one third to one fourth, around one fourth, around one fifth, respectively for both the ELF and RSA methods if compared to ASCE 7-16 and UBC97.

최근 증가하고 있는 초고층 주거용 구조물 중 많은 수가 건축적인 이유로 인해 건물골조시스템을 주요 지진저항시스템으로 채택하고 있다. 그러나 KBC 2005를 적용하여 건물골조시스템을 설계할 때 기준에서 언급되지 않거나 모호한 표현으로 인해 설계자는 많은 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 특히 정적$\cdot$동적 해석시 RC부재의 균열단면을 고려한 유효강성의 적용 방법, 변형 적합성을 고려한 골조의 설계법 등에서 어려움을 겪을 수 있다. 이에 대하여 전단벽과 골조(플랫 플레이트)로 이루어진 전형적인 건물골조시스템의 건물에 대해 KBC 2005를 적용하고 기준의 불명확한 부분에 대해서 여러 방법을 적용하여 해석한 결과 기준의 모호한 언급이나 설계자의 임의의 판단으로 인해 층간변위비, 전단벽 및 연결보의 요구강도 등에서 매우 큰 차이가 발생하였으며, 동일한 건물을 이중골조시스템으로 설계한 경우에 비해 건물골조시스템으로 설계한 경우 변형 적합성의 요구로 인해 전단벽의 높은 요구강도 뿐만 아니라 골조에서도 높은 연성이 요구되었다.

The current 2002 Indonesian Seismic Code consists of prescriptive criteria that are intended to result in buildings capable of providing certain levels of performance. However, the actual performance capability of buildings is not assessed as part of the code procedures. Several analysis procedures are allowed, and the state of practice is to use the RSA with six-zone seismic map developed for 475-year earthquake. This code is being revised and will adopt many of the ASCE7-10 provisions and 2475-year earthquake for MCE. The growth of tall buildings compels engineers to look for more optimal lateral system. The use of RC core wall as single system has been adopted by very few engineering firms, which is allowed in the current code but will no longer be the case if the new one is in effect. Other innovative structural system such as core wall and outrigger is not addressed in the proposed new code. Engineers must then resort to NLRHA. Currently, one 50-story building under construction using RC core wall and outrigger has been designed with RSA and employing capacity design principles, then evaluated using NLRHA per TBI Guidelines. Based on the evaluation, the performance of the 50-story building generally still meets the criteria of the TBI Guidelines. The result of the case study is presented in this paper.

This paper studies the seismic behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) walls with encased cold-formed and thin-walled (CFTW) steel truss, which can be used as an alternative to the conventional RC walls or steel reinforced concrete (SRC) composite walls for high-rise buildings in high seismic regions. Seven one-fourth scaled RC wall specimens with encased CFTW steel truss were designed, manufactured and tested to failure under reversed cyclic lateral load and constant axial load. The test parameters were the axial load ratio, configuration and volumetric steel ratio of encased web brace. The behaviors of the test specimens, including damage formation, failure mode, hysteretic curves, stiffness degradation, ductility and energy dissipation, were examined. Test results indicate that the encased web braces can effectively improve the ductility and energy dissipation capacity of RC walls. The steel angles are more suitable to be used as the web brace than the latticed batten plates in enhancing the ductility and energy dissipation. Higher axial load ratio is beneficial to lateral load capacity, but can result in reduced ductility and energy dissipation capacity. A volumetric ratio about 0.25% of encased web brace is believed cost-effective in ensuring satisfactory seismic performance of RC walls. The axial load ratio should not exceed the maximum level, about 0.20 for the nominal value or about 0.50 for the design value. Numerical analyses were performed to predict the backbone curves of the specimens and calculation formula from the Chinese Code for Design of Composite Structures was used to predict the maximum lateral load capacity. The comparison shows good agreement between the test and predicted results.

국내에 많이 건설되고 있는 빌라형 주택은 건축적인 요구를 위하여 저층부에 필로티를 두고 있는 경우가 많다. 구조물 상층부의 비내력벽에 의하여 저층에 연약층을 유발하고 따라서 지진에 매우 취약하다. 그러나 설계시 일반적인 설계방법과 동일하게 상부층의 칸막이벽은 비구조체로 간주되어 무시된다. 그러므로 설계단계에서 무시되는 비내력벽의 유무에 따라서 건축물이 어떠한 지진거동의 차이점을 보이는지 살펴볼 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 대상 건축물의 지진취약도 해석을 통하여 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 건축물의 지진거동을 평가하였다. 비내력벽의 유무에 따른 동일한 골조를 가지는 저층 철근콘크리트 건축물을 적용하여 지진거동에서 비내력벽의 영향을 평가하였다. 비내력벽은 보편화된 모형화 방법인 등가의 대각 압축 스트럿으로 고려하였다. 골조만 있는 모델과 연약층이 있는 모델의 취약도곡선을 비교하였다. 해석 결과로 연약층이 있는 RC 건물의 내진성능은 설계기준에서 제시하고 있는 성능수준을 만족하지 못하며 지진에 취약함을 보여준다.

최근 우리나라의 대도시에서는 주거와 상업기능을 동시에 갖는 복합용도의 건축물이 많이 건설되고 있는데, 이러한 건물은 대부분 하부골조에서 연층, 약층 또는 비틀림 비정형을 띠게 된다. 본 논문의 목적은 이러한 건물의 지진응답을 실험을 통해 관찰하는 것으로서 1:12 축소모델의 진동대 실험을 통해 다음과 같은 결론에 이르렀다. 1) 구조물의 불확실성으로 인한 우발비틀림을 예측하는 것은 정적해석에 의한 방법보다 동적해석에 의한 방법이 더 타당하였다. 2) 횡운동과 비틀림운동이 연관되어 있을 때, 전도모멘트는 지진방향 뿐만 아니라 지진방향에 수직인 방향으로도 상당부분 작용하였으며, 일반적인 해석프로그램에서 수행하는 모드해석법으로는 이와 같은 거동을 예측하기에 부적절하였다. 3) 모드형상과 BST 다이아그램을 통해 대상구조물과 같은 건물의 주요 진동모드와 파괴양상을 쉽게 예측할 수 있었다.

Reinforced concrete (RC) shear walls are one of the most commonly used lateral-load resisting systems in high-rise buildings. RC Parallel redundancy walls studied herein consist of two parts nested to each other. These two parts have different mechanical behaviors and energy dissipation mechanisms. In this paper, experimental studies of four 1/2-scale specimens representing this concept, which are subjected to in-plane cyclic loading, are presented and test results are discussed. Two specimens consist of a wall frame with barbell-shaped walls embedded in it, and the other two consist of a wall frame and braced walls nested each other. The research mainly focuses on the failure mechanism, strength, hysteresis loop, energy dissipation capacity and stiffness of these walls. Results show that the RC parallel redundancy wall is an efficient lateral load resisting component that acts as a "dual" system with good ductility and energy dissipation capacity. One main part absorbs a greater degree of the energy exerted by an earthquake and fails first, whereas the other part can still behave as an independent role in bearing loads after earthquakes.

A new type of earthquake resilient reinforced concrete (RC) shear wall structure, installed with replaceable coupling beams and replaceable corner components at the bottom of wall piers, is proposed in this study. At first, the mechanical behavior of replaceable components, such as combined dampers and replaceable corner component, is studied by cyclic loading tests on them. Then, cycling loading tests are conducted on one conventional coupled shear wall and one new type of coupled shear wall with replaceable components. The test results indicate that the damage of the new type of coupled shear wall concentrates on replaceable components and the left parts are well protected. Finally, a case study is introduced. The responses of one conventional frame-tube structure and one new type of structure installed with replaceable components under the wind and the earthquake are compared, which verify that the performance of new type of structure is much better than the conventional structure.

Reinforced concrete flat slab (RCFS) with columns is a standard gravity floor system for tall buildings in North America. Typically, RCFS-column connections are designed to resist gravity loads, and their contribution to resisting seismic forces is ignored. However, past experimental research has shown that RCFS-column connections have some strength and ductility, which may not be ignored. Advanced numerical models have been developed in the past to determine the nonlinear cyclic behavior of RCFS-column connections. However, these models are either too complicated for nonlinear dynamic analysis of an entire building or not developed to model the behavior of modern RCFS-column connections. This paper proposes a new nonlinear model suitable for modern RCFS-column connections. The numerical model is verified using experimental data of specimens with various material and reinforcement properties. A 40-story RC shear wall building was designed and analyzed to investigate the influence of RCFS on the global response of tall concrete buildings. The seismic responses of the building with and without the RCFS were modelled and compared. The results show that the modelling of RCFS has a significant impact on the inter-story drifts and force demands on both the seismic force-resisting and gravity elements.
