An evaluation of the concrete strength has very important meaning in the maintenance and the structural safety. The reliability of ferroconcrete building is weakening and enlarging the life is strongly demanded due to the early deterioration of concrete. Like this social demand, concrete strength presumption is being indirectly executed using the result in parallel with the concrete pouring by material age. This data is usually different as concrete poured practically and the way of hardening and curing. Although existing concrete strength presumption formula is proposed, the material used and the concrete strength is different. And as a matter of remicon, the concrete strength varies according to the site and the way of curing. So the objective of this research is strength evaluation of the structural body concrete according to the concrete pouring and curing temperature change seasonally after using the system which evaluates the structural body concrete strength which is applied the transparent junction-separation mold that is presented. Also there is an objective to present the fundamental data for the constructional quality technique proposal of the structural body concrete developed in relation to field specimen and the strength evaluation method by non-breaking.

Precast concrete produced in the industry is advantageous in a sense that it meets certain requiring standards and thus is easy to manage, and it saves construction period by shortening concrete curing time in the field. Nevertheless, studies on the strength evaluation of PC material by steam curing have rarely been done. In addition，as concrete becomes of high strength, it is speculated that relevant steam curing temperature history is also required. Therefore this study is on the steam curing method in manufacturing precast concrete products, and cement mortar has been used for experiments to exclude the possibility that concrete aggregate granularity and aggregate shape change may affect on strength development by cement hydration. In addition, this research is to provide the fundamental information of industrial manufacture of PC member by suggesting the optimal steam curing condition. The optimal steam curing condition has been investigated from the relations between temperature history condition and strength development, via modifying temperature patterns in various ways such as pre-tirne, curing maximaI temperature, maximaI temperature maintenance time which are factors that affect on high strength concrete product in steam curing.

Remodeling is an architectural activity that transforms the existing state of specific building which has been aged and clichedinto new state overcoming those aged and cliched state. Remodeling can be a means to increase building’ s physical lifecycle and also a countermeasure to cope with the changes in use that are from social demand, use and technical development. The performance evaluation on the remodeling tenement shall be done by understanding the performance and state of the building before and after remodeling and then it shall represent the improvement in performanc objectively by comparing the differences before and after remodeling. In this aspect, we performed basic research to conduct performance evaluation on the remodeling tenement by comparing and analyzing the performance evaluation and performance certificate systems of Korea and Japan in order to suggest objective evaluation system on the change of tenement building before and after remodeling.

When managers predict exact construction cost at early stage and design phase, they can reduce construction cost in a more efficient way than to predict at construction stage. But present of public construction cost estimation and management almost after the construction documents design phase. Therefore, construction cost management in the early stage and schematic design phase to generally use approximate estimating is not correct. Accordingly, this study analyze problem of current cost estimating method and a concrete cost plans make using case information of actual cost to analyze in schematic design phase. Possible to check going on the suitable design, this study conducts the preliminary research for the development of cost estimating model.

This study was carried out to evaluate the Life Cycle Cost(LCC) of four types of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems -Glass plus Granite, Crystalline BIPV, Crystalline BIPV + Glass plus Granite and See through Amorphous BIPV -which were vertically installed to generate the same capacity(2kW) and the same area. Initial investment costs, cost savings and maintenance costs had been predicted during the period of analysing the LCC of four types of BIPV(Building Integrated Photovoltaic) systems installed for the purpose of evaluating the LCC. In case of cost savings, it had been analyzed by measuring the amount of electric power generated, reduction in lighting load and heat & cooling loads through simulation. From this analysis, it was predicted that the See-through amorphous BIPV offering cost saving advantages demonstrated the economical efficiency similar to the Glass plus Granite when it is backed by more than 20 years of durability.

Since the school buildings are generally used as public shelters when the natural disasters such as flood and earthquake occur, it must be designed to show enough structural performance when subject to earthquake. Major failure mode of the school buildings observed in past earthquakes were shear failure of column of which length is shortened by infilled masonry blocks. ln this study, the seismic risk of the reinforced concrete school building structure was evaluated by using the seismic performance evaluation methods of low-story RC structures developed in Japan and the required seismic performance index which is obtained according to the KBC2008 seismic hazard map and soil types. ln this paper, the seismic performance of the school building is evaluated by considering this short-column effects, building shape and deterioration.

In this study, the structural stability of stone pagoda in Korea is evaluated with regard to the contact characteristics between stone blocks and a method for restoring the static stability of the stone pagoda by increasing the friction coefficient between stone blocks are proposed. Existing steel insertions, which are used for a temporary retrofitting method, bring about not only decoloration on the surface due to its corrosion but also stress concentration in stone blocks which may end up fracturing blocks. In order to replace the stiff insertions such as iron with ductile materials, lead or tin, experirnental test is conducted for identifying the friction characteristics of stone blocks without/with various types of insertions and the results indicated that a ductile compound metal insertion brought about the increase of the friction coefficients when compared to the existing iron insertion.

In this study, the seismic performance of RC school buildings which were not designed according to earthquake-resistance design code were evaluated by using response spectrum and push-over analyses. From the results of analysis, the efficiency of the seismic retrofitting methods RC shear wall, steel frame, RC frame and PC wing wall for existing RC school buildings was evaluated and analysised. The analysis result indicate that the inter-story drift concentrated in the first floor and most plastic hinge forms in the column of the first story. And results of analysis of the efficiency of the seismic retrofitting indicate that inter-story drift significantly reduced and ductile behavior is expected.

Earthquake is one of the hazard so hard to provide because it is difficult predicted occurred time, scale and characters. Neighbors which have damaged by earthquake look out for statement of damage, It is bigger than nation which has not prepared seismic code at ordinary time seismic damage which belong to loss of life. The earthquake in Kobe, Japan showed that the damages were concentrated on the buildings which were not considered to be protected from the earthquakes. Seismic code applied structures was small damaged but non applied structures was much damaged such as collapse and loss of life. In this study, apartment structures in Korea analyze about earthquake hazard and evaluate seismic performance. Through the this study we have notice of earthquake hazard for apartment structures which live a lot of population of Korea and suppose necessary for seismic retrofit.

A improved strength model was developed to predict the punching shear strength of interior slab-column connections without shear reinforcement. Considering the damage due to flexural cracking at slab-column connections damaged by flexural cracking, the punchingshear force was assumed to be resisted mainly by the compression zone of the critical section. The punching shear strength was defined by using the material failure criteria of concrete. In the evaluation of the punching shear strength, the interaction between the shear stress and the compressive normal stress developed by the flexural moment of the slab was considered. The proposed strength model was verified by existing test specimens.

This paper proposes a tuned liquid column sloshing damper(TICSD) and its optimal design to mitigate bidirectional responses of building structures. The proposed damper acts as a liquid column vibration absorber (LCVA) and a tuned sloshing damper(TSD), respectively, in both principal axes of building structures. Optimum designs of the TLCSD addresses the minimizing in terms of live load, area and volume due to its installation, comparing to each installation with two dampers in two principal directions, respectively. Numerical results from optimum designs shows that the control robustness due to changes in the effective column length and the effective mass of the TLCSD superiors to that uses the head loss coefficient and damping nets in an existing liquid column vibration absorber(LCVA) and TSD. The TLCSD is designed according to the similarity laws of 76 story benchmark building model. Numerical model of the proposed TLCSD is derived based on the experimentally obtained transfer functions according to rotational angles.

High-rise apartments of shear wall system are governed by flexural behavior like a cantilever beam. Installation of the damper-brace system in a structure governed by flexural behavior is not suitable. Because of relatively high lateral stiffness of the shear wall, a load is not concentrate on the brace and the brace cannot perform a role as a damping device. In this paper, a friction damper applying flexibility of shear wall is proposed in order to reduce the deformation of a structure. To evaluate performance of the proposed friction damper, nonlinear time history analysis is executed by SeismoStruct analysis program and MVLEM(Multi Vertical Linear Element Model) be used for simulating flexural behavior of the shear wall. It is found that control performance of the proposed friction damper is superior to one of a coupled wall with rigid beam. In conclusion, this study verified that the optimal control performance of the proposed friction damper is equal to 45% of the maximum shear force inducing in middle-floor beam with rigid beam .
