최근 도시개발과 생활수준의 향상으로 인해 교통량이 크게 증가하고 있으며, 이와 더불어 증가되는 도로 소음으로 인해 많은 민원이 제기되고 있다. 이에 대한 대책으로 도로변에 높은 방음벽이 설치되고 있으나 방음벽 주요 설계 요건인 풍하중은 공사비의 기하급수적인 증가뿐만 아니라 방음벽 높이 제한의 요인으로 작용하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 방음벽 수준의 차음 성능과 더불어 풍하중을 획기적으로 저감할 수 있는 우수한 가격 경쟁력의 방음벽을 개발 하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 본 연구 대상의 방음판은 헬름홀츠의 공명기 이론을 바탕으로 공기와 같은 유체는 통과하고 소음은 저감할 수 있는 신개념 통기형 방음판에 해당된다. 본 연구에서는 실 크기의 금속재 방음판을 제작하여 음압투과손실실험, 풍동실험 및 재료품질 실험을 수행하여 고속도로의 품질기준을 만족하는 결과를 도출하였다. 또한 신뢰성을 검증하기 위해 현장에 제작 및 설치를 하고 시간대 별로 소음을 측정하여 방음판의 소음 차단 효과를 확인하였다. 향후 도로에 통풍형 방음벽을 설치할 경우 높은 소음 차단 효과로 인하여 쾌적한 생활환경을 조성할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

풍속에 따른 증발산량(수분흡수량)은 노랑조팝, 송악, 수호초 모두 같은 경향을 나타내었다. 세 식물 모두 4m·s-1의 강풍에서 가장 높은 수분흡수양상을 보였으며 풍속이 낮아질수록 수분흡수량도 함께 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 풍속처리없이 플라스틱 하우스 내의 기본 환경에 노출되어 있던 대조구는 바람에 노출되어 있던처리구에 비해 수분흡수량이 가장 작은 것을 확인하였다. 하지만 풍속에 따른 식물의 생육을 조사한 결과 송악, 수호초 그리고 노랑조팝 모두 2m·s-1와 1m·s-1의 풍속을 처리했을 때 식물의 초장과 엽수의 증가에 가장 효과적이었다. 식물체의 수분흡수 양상을 수분흡수 기간 중의 평균기온 및 상대습도와의 관계를 비교해보면 평균기온 18.7℃로 가장 낮은 기온과 평균상대습도 62%로 가장 낮았던 5월 20일부터 26일까지의 모든 식물들의 수분흡수량이 낮은 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과는 도심의 열섬화 현상을 경감시키기 위한 기초자료로 활용 가능할 것이며 바람이 많이 부는 도서지역의 녹지공간조성시에 풍속에 따른 식물생육과 활착 안정화에 효과적인 수종검토에 도움이 되고 공간이 협소한 도심지역 녹화에 효과적인 저면관수형 벽면녹화 수종선택에 큰 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Reinforced concrete shear walls are effective for resisting lateral loads imposed by wind or earthquakes. Observed damages of the shear wall in recent earthquakes in Chile(2010) and New Zealand(2011) exceeded expectations. Various analytical models have been proposed in order to incorporate such response features in predicting the inelastic response of RC shear walls. However, the model has not been implemented into widely available computer programs, and has not been sufficiently calibrated with and validated against extensive experimental data at both local and global response levels. In this study, reinforced concrete shear walls were modeled with fiber slices, where cross section and reinforcement details of shear walls can be arranged freely. Nonlinear analysis was performed by adding nonlinear shear spring elements that can represent shear deformation. This analysis result will be compared with the existing experiment results. To investigate the nonlinear behavior of reinforced concrete shear walls, reinforced concrete single shear walls with rectangular wall cross section were selected. The analysis results showed that the yield strength of the shear wall was approximately the same value as the experimental results. However, the yielding displacement of the shear wall was still higher in the experiment than the analysis. The analytical model used in this study is available for the analysis of shear wall subjected to high axial forces.

This paper presents an advanced engineering technique using finite element analysis to improve structural silicone glazing (SSG) design in high-performance curtain wall systems for building facade. High wind pressures often result in bulky SSG aluminum extrusion profile dimensions. Architectural desire for aesthetically slender curtain wall sight-lines and reduction in aluminum usage led to optimization of structural silicone bite geometry for improved stress distribution through use of finite element analysis of the hyperelastic silicone models. This advanced design technique compared to traditional SSG design highlights differences in stress distribution contours in the silicone sealant. Simplified structural engineering per the traditional SSG design method lacks accurate forecasting of material and stress optimization, as shown in the advanced analysis and design. Full scale physical specimens were tested to verify design capacity in addition to correlate physical test results with the theoretical simulation to provide confidence of the model. This design technique will introduce significant engineering advancement to the curtain wall industry and building facade.

Air curtains are widely used for gates of shopping mall, warehouse, cold stores and refrigerated display cabinets. The purpose of the air curtain is to reduce the infiltration of outdoor air and heat loss from the air conditioning space to ambient air. Design data for the air curtain given by previous researchers do not mention the influence of wind speed. Thus, this paper presents a performance of single jet air curtain in heating space when the wind blows toward the opening space of the building. A numerical simulation is used to study the influence of various parameters on the efficiency of the downward-blowing air curtain device which is installed inside of the wall above the door. The performance of the air curtain is evaluated by sealing efficiency which provides the assessment of the energy savings. A new safety factor is also proposed for determination of air curtain jet velocity under the various wind conditions.

In this paper, the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower on elastic subsoil exposed to unsymmetrical wind loading is presented. Modified Vlasov foundation model is used to determine the soil parameters as a function of vertical deformation profile within subsoil. The iterative parameter updating procedure involves the use of Open Application Programming Interface (OAPI) feature of SAP2000 to provide two way data flow during execution. A computing tool coded in MATLAB employing OAPI is used to perform the analysis of hyperbolic cooling tower with supporting columns over a hollow annular raft founded on elastic subsoil. The analysis of such complex soil-structure system is investigated under self-weight and unsymmetrical wind load. The response of the cooling tower on elastic subsoil is compared with that of a tower that its supporting raft foundation is treated as fixed at the base. The results show that the effect of subsoil on the behavior of cooling tower is considerable at the top and bottom of the wall as well as supporting columns and raft foundation. The application of a full-size cooling tower has demonstrated that the procedure is simple, fast and can easily be implemented in practice.

This paper investigates the effects of Reynolds number (Re) on the aerodynamic characteristics of a twin-deck bridge. A 1:36 scale sectional model of a twin girder bridge was tested using the Wall of Wind (WOW) open jet wind tunnel facility at Florida International University (FIU). Static tests were performed on the model, instrumented with pressure taps and load cells, at high wind speeds with Re ranging from $1.3{\times}10^6$ to $6.1{\times}10^6$ based on the section width. Results show that the section was almost insensitive to Re when pitched to negative angles of attack. However, mean and fluctuating pressure distributions changed noticeably for zero and positive wind angles of attack while testing at different Re regimes. The pressure results suggested that with the Re increase, a larger separation bubble formed on the bottom surface of the upstream girder accompanied with a narrower wake region. As a result, drag coefficient decreased mildly and negative lift coefficient increased. Flow modification due to the Re increase also helped in distributing forces more equally between the two girders. The bare deck section was found to be prone to vortex shedding with limited dependence on the Re. Based on the observations, vortex mitigation devices attached to the bottom surface were effective in inhibiting vortex shedding, particularly at lower Re regime.

For a building with a dominant windward wall opening, the wind-induced internal pressure response can be described by a second-order non-linear differential equation. However, there are two ill-defined parameters in the governing equation: the inertial coefficient $C_I$ and the loss coefficient $C_L$. Lack of knowledge of these two parameters restricts the practical use of the governing equation. This study was primarily focused on finding an accurate reference value for $C_I$, and the paper presents a systematic investigation of the factors influencing the inertial coefficient for a wind-tunnel model building including: opening configuration and location, wind speed and direction, approaching flow turbulence, the model material, and the installation method. A numerical model was used to simulate the volume deformation under internal pressure, and to predict the bulk modulus of an experimental model. In considering the structural flexibility, an alternative approach was proposed to ensure accurate internal volume distortions, so that similarity of internal pressure responses between model-scale and full-scale building was maintained. The research showed 0.8 to be a reasonable standard value for the inertial coefficient.

This paper explains how to correctly measure the drag coefficient of a circular cylinder in wind tunnels with large blockage ratios and for the sub-critical to the super-critical flow regimes. When dealing with large blockage ratios, the drag has to be corrected for wall constraints. Different formulations for correcting blockage effect are compared for each flow regime based on drag measurements of smooth circular cylinders performed in a wind tunnel for three different blockage ratios. None of the correction model known in the literature is valid for all the flow regimes. To optimize the correction and reduce the scatter of the results, different correction models should be combined depending on the flow regime. In the sub-critical regime, the best results are obtained using Allen and Vincenti's formula or Maskell's theory with ${\varepsilon}$=0.96. In the super-critical regime, one should prefer using Glauert's formula with G=0.6 or the model of Modi and El-Sherbiny. The change in the formulations appears at the flow transition with a variation of the wake pattern when passing from sub-critical to super-critical flow regimes. This parameter being not considered in the known blockage corrections, these theories are not valid for all the flow regimes.

Various types of pilotis frames are used on the ground level of high-rise buildings. In some cases, their interior finishing is destroyed by strong winds or typhoons. In the case of a corner pilotis, the peak wind pressure coefficients were greater on the ceiling than they were on the wall for all wind angles. Specifically, on the ceiling portion of a pilotis, the coefficient increased gradually from the outside to the inside in a symmetrical form that centered on the corner edge. However, the minimum peak wind pressure coefficient was greater at the center of the ceiling than it was on the edge of the pilotis' interior. Additionally, the higher the height of the pilotis, the greater the peak wind pressure coefficient was due to the turbulent flow that occurs within a pilotis. In this study, we evaluated peak wind pressures to design an interior finishing for the end edge of a pilotis and for corner piloti. In terms of specific wind angles, the maximum and minimum peak wind pressure coefficients were each observed. They were a maximum of $320^{\circ}$ and a minimum of $270^{\circ}$ for corner piloti and $0^{\circ}$ and $270^{\circ}$, respectively, for the end edge piloti.
