본 논문은 고층건축물의 비틀림방향 응답을 평가하기 위하여 필요한 변동비틀림모멘트계수와 변동비틀림모멘트의 파워스펙트럼밀도계수의 경험식을 제안한 연구이다. 이러한 경험식을 제안하기 위하여, 다양한 형상비와 변장비를 가진 27개의 각주형 모형을 제작한 후 노풍도을 다양하게 변화시켜 풍력실험 을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서 비틀림방향 변동풍력의 경험식은 주로 건물의 노풍도와 형상비 그리고 변장비에 의하여 분석되어졌다.

This study focuses on the effects of load height on the inelastic lateral buckling of doubly stepped I-beams. The effects of having compact and non-compact flanges are also covered by this study. Two sections are analyzed: one having compact flanges and web while the other section has a compact web and non-compact flanges. The loadings are limited to those having an inflection point of zero. Also, the three main locations for the loads analyzed would be at the top of the flange, at the shear and at the bottom flange. The nonlinear analysis is done using the finite element program, ABAQUS. Also, to take into consideration the effect of inelastic buckling, residual stresses and geometric imperfections are applied to the models made. The results of the analysis would then determine if the location of the loads has significant effects on the buckling strength of the stepped beams. Also, the results are compared to the results of previous studies involving the effects of load-height on prismatic beams. The final results are tabulated and conclusions and new design methods are provided.
