The emergence of a growing number of tall buildings, often with unusual shapes and innovative structural systems, has led to the realization of the need for and the importance of field measurements. The new China Central Television (CCTV) Tower in Beijing is one of tall buildings with a highly unusual shape and a complex structural system, requiring field measurements to identify its dynamic characteristics for the subsequent dynamic analysis of the tower under wind excitation, seismic-induced ground motion and traffic-induced ground motion. The structural system and the finite element model of the CCTV Tower are first introduced in this paper. The computed natural frequencies and mode shapes are then presented as a reference for the field measurement. After introducing the arrangement of the ambient vibration measurement, the field measured natural frequencies and damping ratios of the CCTV Tower are presented and the measured natural frequencies are finally compared with the computed ones. It was found that the structural damping ratios of the CCTV Tower are small and the computed natural frequencies are smaller than the measured ones by about 12~17%.

Multiple tuned mass dampers are proposed to suppress the vertical and torsional buffeting and to increase the aerodynamic stability of long-span bridges. Each damper has vertical and torsional frequencies, which are tuned to the corresponding frequencies of the structural modes to suppress the resonant effects. These proposed dampers maintain the advantage of traditional multiple mass dampers, but have the added capability of simultaneously controlling vertical and torsional buffeting responses. The aerodynamic coupling is incorporated into the formulations, allowing this model to effectively increase the critical speed of a bridge for either single-degree-of-freedom flutter or coupled flutter. The reduction of dynamic response and the increase of the critical speed through the attachment of the proposed dampers to the bridge are also discussed. Through a parametric analysis, the characteristics of the multiple tuned mass dampers are studied and the design parameters - including mass, damping, frequency bandwidth, and total number of dampers - are proposed. The results indicate that the proposed dampers effectively suppress the vertical and the torsional buffeting and increase the structural stability. Moreover, these tuned mass dampers, designed within the recommended parameters, are not only more effective but also more robust than a single TMD against wind-induced vibration.

In order to establish a dynamic model test method of bridge pylons subjected to ocean waves, the similarity method of hydroelastic model test for bridge pylons were analyzed systematically, and a model design and production method was proposed. Using this method, a dynamic test model of a bridge pylon was made, and then a free vibration test on the model structure and a dynamic response test of the model structure under wave actions were conducted in a wave flume. The results of the free vibration test show that the primary natural frequencies of the structure by the model test are close to the design frequencies of the prototype structure, indicating that the dynamic characteristics of the bridge pylon are well simulated by the model structure. The results of the dynamic response test show that wave induced base shear forces and motion responses on the model structure are consistent with the numerical results of the prototype structure. The model test results confirm that the proposed model test design method is feasible and applicable. It has application and reference significances for model testing studies of such marine bridge structures.

Field measurements of various structures have been conducted for many purposes. Measurement data obtained by field measurement is very useful to determine vibration characteristics including dynamic characteristics such as the damping ratio, natural frequency, and mode shape of a structure. In addition, results of field measurements and modal identification can be used for modal updating of FEM analysis, for checking the efficiency of damping devices and so on. This paper shows some examples of field measurements and modal identification for structural health monitoring. As the first example, changes of dynamic characteristics of a 15-story office building in four construction stages from the foundation stage to completion are described. The dynamic characteristics of each construction stage were modeled as accurately as possible by FEM, and the stiffness of the main structural frame was evaluated and the FEM results were compared with measurements performed on non-load-bearing elements. Simple FEM modal updating was also applied. As the next example, full-scale measurements were also carried out on a high-rise chimney, and the efficiency of the tuned mass damper was investigated by using two kinds of modal identification techniques. Good correspondence was shown with vibration characteristics obtained by the 2DOF-RD technique and the Frequency Domain Decomposition method. As the last example, the wind-induced response using RTK-GPS and the feasibility of hybrid use of FEM analysis and RTK-GPS for confirming the integrity of structures during strong typhoons were shown. The member stresses obtained by hybrid use of FEM analysis and RTK-GPS were close to the member stresses measured by strain gauges.

초고층 건물의 구조설계시 풍하중에 의한 횡방향 변위를 적절한 값 이내로 줄이는 것이 가장 중요한 문제 중에 하나이다. 이를 위해서 추가적인 감쇠기 및 진동제어장치를 사용하는 방법이 일반적으로 고려되고 있다. 이 때 일반적으로 구조물의 특성은 변화없이 추가되는 제어장치에 대해서만 최적설계를 수행하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 구조물과 스마트 제어장치의 다목적 통합 최적화를 통하여 추가되는 스마트 제어장치로 인하여 구조물의 물량을 줄일 수 있는 가능성을 검토하였다. 이를 위하여 다이어그리드 구조시스템이 적용된 60층 초고층 건물을 예제 구조물로 선택하였고, 인공 풍하중에 대한 풍응답을 검토하였다. 스마트 제어장치로는 TMD에 MR 감쇠기를 설치한 스마트 TMD를 사용하였다. 구조물의 응답과 구조물량 및 제어장치의 용량을 동시에 줄이는 것이 필요하므로 본 연구에서는 다목적 유전자알고리즘을 적용하였다. 수치해석결과 제어성능목표를 만족시키면서 구조물의 물량과 제어장치의 용량을 적절하게 줄일 수 있는 다양한 설계 최적안을 얻을 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 변위응답 및 가속도 응답의 저감 효과에 있어서, 유리한 형상인 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형(Helical $180^{\circ}$) 초고층건물을 대상으로 풍진동실험을 수행하여 나선형 초고층건물의 공력불안정 진동 특성 및 공력감쇠 특성을 조사하였고, 정방형 초고층건물의 결과와 비교분석 하였다. 본 연구에서의 공력감쇠율은 RD법(random decrement technique)을 이용하여 평가하였다. RD법에 의해 평가된 공력감쇠율은 기존문헌 및 준정상가정이론 결과와 비교 검증하였다. 실험결과, 공력진동 실험결과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형모형의 풍직각방향에 대한 공력불안정 진동은 발생하지 않는 것이 확인되었다. 정방형과 $180^{\circ}$ 나선형 형상에 대한 공력감쇠율을 살펴보면, X방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 무차원 풍속이 증가와 비례하여 점진적으로 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 반면, Y방향에 대한 공력감쇠율은 정방형모형과 매우 다른 양상이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Surface protrusions have been attached on a cylinder surface to reduce the flow-induced structural vibration by controlling the wake flow. Wind tunnel tests on the near wake of a circular cylinder with surface protrusions were carried out to investigate the flow characteristics of the controlled wake. Three experimental models were used in this experiment; one plain cylinder of diameter D and two cylinders wrapped helically by three small wires of diameter d=0.075D with pitches of 5D and 10D, respectively. Free stream velocity was ranged to have Reynolds number from 5000 to 50,000. Streamwise and vertical velocity components of the wake were measured by a hot-wire anemometry. The spanwise velocity component measured by a one-component fiber optic LDV revealed that time-averaged wake field has a nearly two-dimensional structure. It was found that the surface protrusions elongate the vortex formation region, which decrease the vortex shedding frequency. The suppression of vortices caused by the surface protrusions increases the velocity deficit in the center of wake region.

Aerodynamic design of a vehicle has very important meaning on the fuel economy, dynamic stability and the noise & vibration of a moving vehicle. In this study, the correlation of aerodynamic effect between two model vehicles moving inline on a road was studied with the basic SAE model vehicle. Drag and lift are two main physical forces acting on the vehicle and both of them directly effect on the fuel economy and driving stability of the vehicle. For the research, the distance between two vehicles is varied from 5m to 30m at the fixed vehicle speed, 100km/h and the side-wind was assumed to be zero. The main issue for this numerical research is on the understanding of the interaction forces; lift and drag between two vehicles formed inline. From the study, it was found that as the distance between two vehicles is closer, the drag force acting on both the front and rear vehicle decreases and the lift force has same trend for both vehicle. As the distance(D) is 5m, the drag of the front vehicle reduced 7.4% but 28.5% for the rear-side vehicle. As the distance is 30m, the drag of the rear vehicle is still reduced to 22% compared to the single driving.
