For evaluation of building performance, a nonlinear dynamic capacity of the building is a key parameter. In this study, an reinforced concrete special moment resisting frame building was chosen to study the process of determining the nonlinear dynamic capacity. The building, which was designed by IBC 2003 representing new codes, was composed of special moment resisting frames in the perimeter and internal frames inside the building. The capacity, which is inter-story drift capacity, consists of two categories, local and global collapses. Global collapse capacity was determined by incremental dynamic analysis. Local collapse capacity was determined by the same method except for utilizing damage index. In audition to this, it was also investigated that the effect of including internal frames designed by gravity load in the analysis. Results showed that the damage index is a useful tool for determining local collapse. Furthermore, including the internal frames with special frames in the analysis is very important in determining the capacity of a building so both must be considered at the same time.

Social capital is the basis for enabling regional development, and although it is the result of regional development that produces greater productivity through the combination of human and material capital, there is a lack of discussions in connection with rural development. This study saw that the local capacity building project affects the social capital of the local residents and such social network is realized through the rural area development project based on the participation of the residents. As a result of the analysis, the regional capacity building project has a positive influence on the social capital of the region and the willingness to participate in the project, and bridge-type social capital has shown a mediating effect on education and consulting fields. Only when local social capital, especially bridge-type social capital, is cultivated through the regional capacity building project can the project be transformed into one suitable for local conditions through active participation of residents.

This study aimed to find the way to help participants build capacity in rural development projects, through some case studies and Q-methodology. Decentralization and diffusion of bottom-up approach in rural development projects are the main contextual factors in this study. With the ethos of bottom-up approach in rural development, the human and financial inputs for capacity building increased drastically in the area of rural development policy. Four types of capacity building methods were identified in this study; training, consulting, learning organization, and forum. Theses methods were used more at planning step than implementation step in rural development projects. The government's effort to strengthen leadership in rural areas should be continued. The existing government's training program for capacity building had better include more diverse clients. Actions for capacity building should be centered on the needs of the participants in fields. Especially, organizing learning units is very important. Governments' rural development policy should establish the proper process which can help local actors plan their projects with enough time span.

This manuscript introduces the Capacity Design Methodology in the Building Standard Law of Japan revised at 2000, June. The Building Standard Law of Japan was revised into the performance-based design format following the trend of international. The structural performance was evaluated for two limiting states; soundness limit state and safety limit state. The design seismic forces were determined on taking into consideration (a)the properties of the planned building, (b)amplification by local surfaces geology, and (c)soil-structure interaction.

Recently, emerging countries have been paying attention to Korean economic development policy, trying to adopt the Korean regional innovation model. Korea is also interested in exporting its regional innovation model and enhancing economic cooperation with those countries. This paper aims to analyze the capacity-building programs of the Korean regional innovation model for emerging countries and suggests policies for it. For this purpose, the local innovators' participation patterns in the process of collaborative learning/networking/interaction are investigated with a focused group-interview method. From an analysis of the programs supported by Korean organizations, this study finds that the correlation coefficient between the training time of capacity building and the participation rate of local members' collaborative learning is very high (0.975). Since the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of collaborative learning and networking is relatively low (0.667), a policy to link local collaborative learning to networking should be provided. As the correlation coefficient between the participation rates of networking and interaction is high (0.950), networking is a key to regional innovation. This study recommends activity programs to promote networking among local innovators, rather than training and consulting programs. As introduced in the Chungnam Techno Park case, this study suggests that the capacity-building program should include programs to initiate a collaborative learning network, to create a local-demand, regional innovation model, and to operate the regional innovation platform, which should be done by local innovators in the emerging countries.

This study was conducted to explain the capacity building policy of local public officials. Especially, it is to derive the policy task that can increase the efficiency within the limit of limited resources. The results of the study are as follows. First, local government officials' job management was the most important policy task in the largest framework to strengthen the capacity of local public officials. Next, the evaluation was in the order of recruitment management of local public officials and personnel management of local public officials. Second, the results of the evaluation of detailed policies. Among the local government officials 'job management, the introduction of the local government officials' rest period was evaluated as the most important. Regarding recruitment management of local public officials, reform of the public official exam courses was evaluated as the most important. In the personnel management of the local public officials, the job training of the elected officials was the most important. The results of this study will help to explain the policy development for strengthening the capacity of local public officials in realistic aspect. In order to strengthen the capacity of local public servants in future, it is necessary to analyze the measurement variables more.

New paradigm to the advancement of disaster management is required for building resilient and safe society. In these circumstances, the importance of local government disaster management capacity has been emphasized through experiencing a series of accidents including 2012 september Gumi fluorosilicic acid diffusion accident. The increase of people's disaster awareness has emerged the public demands on disaster management information of local area. In this study, the disaster management capacity analysis program is developed for self-assessment of local government. The program is designed for disaster managers to database the categorized index of disaster management capacity and recognize the capacity level. For the public announcement of disaster management capacity, the analysis results are shown for citizens in the understandable format. It is expected that the enhancement of emergency management capacity of local society can be achieved by the efforts of local government analyzing and improving the vulnerability as well as the participation of local society.

The probability and the reliability-based seismic performance evaluation procedure proposed in the FEMA-355F was applied to a reinforced concrete moment frame building in this study. For the FEMA procedure, which was originally developed for steel moment frame structures, to be applied to other structural systems, the capacity should be re-defined and the factors reflecting the uncertainties related to capacity and demand need to be determined. To perform the evaluation procedure a prototype building was designed per IBC 2003, and inelastic dynamic analyses were conducted applying site-specific ground motions to determine the parameters for performance evaluation. According to the analysis results, distribution of the determined capacities turned out to be relatively smaller than that of the demands, which showed that the defined capacity was reasonable. It was also shown that the prototype building satisfied the target performance since the determined confidence levels exceeded the objectives for both local and global collapses.

The use of high-strength steels in construction of highrise and mega building structures can bring about many technological advantages from fabrication to erection. However, key design criteria such as local and lateral stability in current steel design specifications were developed based on tests of ordinary steels which have stress-strain characteristics very different from that of high strength steels. A series of tests on 800 MPa tensile strength steel (HSA800) members are summarized in this paper which were conducted to investigate the appropriateness of extrapolating current ordinary-steel based design criteria to high strength steels. 800 MPa I-shape beam specimens designed according to flange local buckling (FLB) criteria of the AISC Specification developed a sufficient strength for elastic design and a marginal rotation capacity for plastic design. It is shown that, without introducing distinct and significant yield plateau to the stress-strain property of high-strength steel, it is inherently difficult to achieve a high rotation capacity even if all the current stability limits are met. 800 MPa I-shape beam specimens with both low and high warping rigidity exhibited sufficient lateral torsional buckling (LTB) strength. HSA800 short-column specimens with various edge restraint exhibited sufficient local buckling strength under uniform compression and generally outperformed ordinary steel specimens. The experimental P-M strength was much higher than the AISC nominal P-M strength. The measured residual stresses indicated that the impact of residual stress on inelastic buckling of high-strength steel is less. Cyclic seismic test results showed that HSA800 members have the potential to be used as non-ductile members or members with limited ductility demand in seismic load resisting systems. Finally, recent applications of 800 MPa high strength steel to highrise and mega building structures in Korea are briefly presented.
