A standard RC apartment structure was analysed using commercial structural analysis program MIDAS. The effects of TLD were considered by equivalent tuned mass damper model and harmonic load of wmch frequency was identical to that of the RC structure and artificial earthquake loads generated accroding to the design spectrum in KBC2005 were used as excitation loads. TLD showed maximally 70% reduction of peak/RMS relative displacement, interstory drift, acceleration, and story shear induced by harmonic load while it reduced about 20~28% of those structural responses excluding absolute acceleration induced by artificial earthquake loads.

In this paper, excitation systems using linear mass shaker (LMS) and active tuned mass damper (ATMD) are presented in order to simulate the wind induced responses of a building structure. The actuator force for the excitation systems is calculated by using the inverse transfer function of a target structural response to the actuator. Filter and envelop function are used such that the error between the wind and actuator induced responses is minimized by preventing the actuator from exciting unexpected modal response and initial transient response. The analyses results from a 76-story benchmark building problem in which wind load obtained by wind tunnel test is given, indicate that the excitation system installed at a specific floor can approximately embody the structural responses induced by the wind load applied to each floor of the structure. The excitation system designed by the proposed method can be effectively used for evaluating the wind response characteristics of a practical building structure and for obtaining an accurate analytical model of the building under wind load.

In order to obtain the flexural and shear performance capacity of newly developed WAffle Slab(WAS) System, 14 full-scale 1.98mx10.00m specimens were tested under monotonic load. The Flexural performance was observed and compared with the conventional double-tee slab system using the test result. The shear performance was observed W AS slab using the test result. lt was confirmed that WAS system has enough flexural and shea capacity to carry the design load. Destruction features of test result, it appeared with bending destruction on the whole. According to steel wire increase, tolerance force's also increased. But steel wire increases to follow, it appears brittle destruction aspect. Case of shear test, the stirrup interval to be narrow maximum load appeares the tendency which comes to be destroyed.

Carbonation in concrete structures has been handled as the most fundamental and critical factor related to the durability of reinforced concrete. As a result, there have been efforts to develop repair materials to control carbonation As one of these efforts, alkali recovery agents have been presented as materials for increasing the re-alkalization and durability of carbonated concrete structures. However, in applying them in the field, the performance and quality of concrete recovered after an alkali recovery agent is applied has not been fully assessed. Therefore, to examine the recovered performance of concrete structures resulting from the application of an alkali recovery agent, the present study assessed the depth of carbonation and the degree of deterioration of 20 years or older reinforced concrete structures, and analyzed the quality of concrete after applying an alkali recovery agent to the structures. This study aimed at providing basic information for the application of alkali recovery agents in the field. In this experiment, alkali recovery agents of the lithium silicate line, which are most common in Korea, were applied and cured using concrete of the same size. The degree of recovery was investigated according to the length of time in the initial curing stage, and based on the investigation, the maintenance performance of the alkali recovery agent was assessed according to the age of exposure to the open air. For these tasks, this experiment sampled concrete of different degrees of deterioration, applied alkali recovery agents to them, and observed re-alkalization and changes in the internal texture of the concrete.

Carbonized concrete structure becomes superannuated gradually and its accelerated subsequent deterioration process leads to corrosion of steel while it ages. Recently economical and environmental concern about remodeling such superannuated concrete, including the basic structure of concrete, has been rapidly growing. Alkali restorative, which restores alkalinity in carbonized concrete structure, is used in the field of remodeling in order to improve the property of concrete structure. There have been many different kinds of materials which restore alkalinity in carbonized concrete. They can be classified according to their structural elements. This study focuses on the alkali restorative which mainly consists of silicic lithium metallic salt while examining the durable effectiveness of the factors (such as water permeation, surface erosion, elution of alkali, etc.), which will continuously affect concrete as deteriorating factors even after the restoration of alkali. The result shows that the alkali restorative consisting mainly of silicic lithium contributes to water-resistance, surface strength, and long term durability of alkali due to water permeation in carbonized concrete.

Furnace slag powder used currently in Korea needs to add special functions in response to the increase of large-scale projects. In addition, it is advantageous in that it has a lower hydration heat emission rate than ordinary Portland cement and improves properties such as the inhibition of alkali aggregate reaction, watertightness, salt proofness, seawater resistance and chemical resistance. However, furnace slag powder is not self-hardening, and requires activators such as alkali for hydration. Accordingly, if recycled fine aggregate, from which calcium hydroxide is generated, and furnace slag, which requires alkali stimulation, are used together they play mutually complementary roles, so we expect to use the mixture as a resource-recycling construction material. Thus the present study purposed to examine the properties and characteristics of furnace slag powder and recycled aggregate, to manufacture recycled fine aggregate mortar using furnace slag and analyze its performance based on the results of an experiment, to provide materials on mortar using furnace slag as a cement additive and recycled fine aggregate as a substitute of aggregate, and ultimately to provide basic materials on the manufacturing of resource-recycled construction materials using binder and fine aggregate as recycled resources.

It is high that occupancy rate of apartment house in Korea, spite of short history of the using multiple dwelling house. So that, trouble and dispute occurs often on right or responsibility, liability and obligation about ownership, Utilization, maintenance. Especially in renovation project, the project progress held up in perception gap or conflict of interest with residents. These dispute in daily life and delay of project occurs ambiguous borderline or distinction of Common Used(Sharing) Parts) and Exclusive Possessed (Private) Parts. The law now in force is considered in this paper about theses item. Summarizing the conclusion is as below. 1) In the law now in force the literal meaning of a word, Exclusive Possessed (Private) Parts is expressed with concept of Ownership, But Common Used (Sharing) Parts is described with Utilization concept. But in calculation of floor area, complementary set of Private Parts is Sharing Parts. This is contradiction in logic and linguistic. 2) Although above, calculation base of Private Parts is inner line of exterior wall. This is unjustly defined. 3) Especially about balcony (in correct architectural vocabulary is veranda) subordinate law contradictits superordinate law. And in structural mechanics also, minute prescription is necessary about Private Parts and Sharing Parts.

Structures with Coulomb-friction damping system have strong nonlinearity that the dynamic behavior is highly affected by the relative magnitude between frictional force and excitation load. In this study, normalized response spectra of the structures with non-dimensional friction force are obtained through nonlinear time history analyses of the mass-normalized single degree of freedom systems using ground motion data designed by ATC-40 and Korean Building Code 2005(KBC 2005) on each slte. The variation of the control performance of Coulomb-frictional damping system is investigated in terms of the dynamic load and the structural natural period, of which effects were not considered in the previous studies. Finally, Design spectra of the structure with Coulomb-frictional damper considering the safety of structural design is proposed though linear curve fitting

This paper deals with the numerical model of a bracing-friction damper system and its deployment using the optimal slip load distribution for the seismic retrofitting of a damaged building. The Slotted Bolted Connection (SBC) type friction damper system was tested to investigate its energy dissipation characteristic. Test results coincided with the numerical ones using the conventional model of a bracing-friction damper system. The placement of this device was numerically explored to apply it to the assumed damaged-building and to evaluate its efficiency. It was found by distributing the slip load that minimizes the given performance indicies based on structural response. Numerical results for the damaged building retrofitted with this slip load distribution showed that the seismic design of the bracing-friction damper system under consideration is effective for the structural response reduction.

This paper investigate vibration suppression by the active variable stiffness system (AVS system). AVS system can change its stiffness by special elements called on-off elements. The control logic deciding on-off states of on-off element is based on the method of dividing phase plane. A phase plane is composed of displacement and velocity axis. This control logic is easily applicable to both single and multi degree of system, because it is local control logic that determines on-off states according to the relative displacement and velocity between the floors in which each on-off element is installed. By this control logic, on-off elements can absorb and dissipate the earthquake energy. On-off element is on state when the sign of displacement multiplied by velocity is positive, because on-off element absorb the system vibration energy. Conversely, on-off element is off state when the sign of displacement multiplied by velocity is negative, because on-off element dissipate the absorbed system vibration energy. The effectiveness of this control logic can be proved in the second way through the active control experiment using the active mass damper (AMD).
