A Study on Improvement Way of Fire Simulation Modelling Field through Analysis of Performance-Based Design Reports of High-rise Residential Complex Building in B Metropolitan City

최근 우리나라에서는 초고층 건축물의 신축이 급증하고 있어 화재 발생 시 인명 및 재산피해를 최소화하기 위해현행 법규와 동등 이상의 성능을 요구하는 ‘성능위주설계’를 의무적으로 시행하고 있다. 그러나 성능위주설계에서큰 비중을 차지하고 있는 화재 및 피난 시뮬레이션 분야는 아직 세부적인 기술적 가이드라인이 제정되지 않아 설계자들이 앞서 수행했던 여러 설계도서들을 참고하여 그와 유사하게 진행하고 있는 실정이다. 그 중에서도 화재시뮬레이션의 경우에는 설계자의 판단에 따라 시나리오 유형을 선정하고 임의로 입력값을 설정하고 있어 같은 용도의 건축물이라 하더라도 누가 어떻게 설계했느냐에 따라 다른 결과가 도출되고 있는 것도 사실이다. 이에 본 논문에서는실제 B도시지역에 접수된 성능위주설계(건축심의 전 단계) 도서 7건을 무작위로 조사하여 화재시나리오 유형과 시나리오별 입력조건 현황을 파악하고 합리적인 화재시뮬레이션의 수행을 위한 개선방안을 제시하여 기술적 가이드라인 제정에 대한 초석을 다지고자 한다.Recently, in Korea, construction of high-rise buildings has been rapidly increasing. Therefore, in order to minimize the lossof life and property in the event of a fire, “performance-based design” which requires performance equal to or better thancurrent regulations is obligatorily required. However, in the field of fire and evacuation simulation, which occupies a largepart in the performance-based design, detailed technical guidelines have not yet been established. Therefore, various designersare proceeding with the computer simulation modelling by referring to the design report book previously performed. Especially,in the case of the fire simulation, according to the judgment of a designer the scenario type is selected and the input valuesis set. Even if the building is used for the same purpose, it is true that the result can be different depending on how andwho designed it. Therefore, in this paper, we have investigated the fire scenarios type and scenarios input values by randomlyexamining 7 preliminary reports of performance-based design in B metropolitan city. We also propose the improvementstrategy for fire simulation and lay the groundwork for establishment of technical guidelines for fire simulation forperformance-based design.

A Modified Energy Evaluation Tool for Residential Complexes in South Korea to Reflect Total Electricity Consumption

This study suggests a new method to evaluate the CO2 emissions from residential complexes in South Korea. The conventional method only reflects energy consumption for space heating, hot water, and lighting. The Korean government has mandated a 40% reduction in CO2 emissions from these sources to achieve the 26.9% national CO2 reduction requirement from the building sector. The modified method reflects electricity consumption for public use and total electricity consumption for private use. The suggested equation for public electricity consumption is established by analyzing the electricity consumption of 26 residential complexes. The results of the study can be summarized as follows: (1) the conventional evaluation method is appropriate for low-rise residential complexes and a 26.7% reduction in CO2 emissions is expected. (2) However, the conventional method cannot meet the national CO2 reduction goal in high-rise residential complexes. Only a 21.7% reduction in CO2 emissions can be achieved and a modification of the energy calculation method and CO2 reduction goal should occur.

Recently, the most of domestic high-rise residential complex buildings are constructed with reinforced concrete structures, which may bring structural problems during construction. This study is aimed to analyze structural safety and lateral load-resisting performance of RC high-rise residential complex building under construction. The tower-typed building with 60 floors is selected as a sample model, and numerical analyses are performed. The structural performances of building structures at construction stages, which are resulted form the analyses of numerical models completed up to 10th, 20th, 30th, 40th, 50th, or 60th floor, are compared to those of the completed building structure. For the comparisons of structural performances, modal shapes and fundamental periods of building structures, lateral load-resisting performances, and structural design performances of structural members are considered. The lateral displacement and story drift ratio are analyzed for lateral load-resisting performances, and comparisons of design ratios at construction and design stages are performed for structural design performances of structural members. The guideline of design loads and structural analysis schemes for checking the safety of RC high-rise building under construction is presented.

High-Rise Residential Reinforced Concrete Building Optimisation

In the last few decades structure optimisation has become a main task in a civil engineering project. As a matter of fact, due to the complexity and particularity of every structure, the great amount of variables and design criteria to considerate and many other factors, a general optimisation’s method is not simple to formulate. As a result, this paper focuses on how to provide a successful optimisation method for a particular building type, high-rise reinforced concrete buildings. The optimization method is based on decomposition of the main structure into substructures: floor system, vertical load resisting system, lateral load resisting system and foundation system; then each of the subsystems using the design criteria established at the building codes is improved. Due to the effect of the superstructure optimisation on the foundation system, vertical and lateral load resisting system is the last to be considered after the improvement of floor. Finally, as a case example, using the method explained in the paper, a 30-story-high high-rise residential building complex is analysed and optimised, achieving good results in terms of structural behaviour and diminishing the overall cost of the structure.

친환경 계획요소가 초고층 복합주거 거주 만족도에 미치는 영향요인 분석

주택유형의 변화와 친환경 주거에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 친환경계획요소의 정량적 검증에 대한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 초고층 복합주거의 경우 친환경계획요소에 대한 정리와 실제 거주자들을 대상으로 한 만족도에 관한 연구는 미비한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 초고층 친환경계획요소를 단지, 건물내부, 설비 및 유지관리로 구분하여 실제 거주자를 대상으로 중요도와 만족도를 평가하였다. 또한 거주만족도(만족도, 충성도, 선호도)와 친환경계획요소의 영향 관계를 PLS 구조방정식을 통해 실증 분석하였다. 연구결과를 요약하면 첫째, 단지 친환경 계획요소의 개선은 만족도를 충족시켜 실제 거주자의 충성도에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다, 둘째, 건물내부의 친환경 계획요소의 증가는 실제 거주자의 만족도와 선호도를 모두 충족시켜 충성도에 영향을 미친다. 셋째, 설비/유지관리의 친환경 계획요소는 실제 주민의 선호요인으로 도출되었으나 만족도에 대한 가설은 유의하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. The statistical analyzing of environmental-friendly planning elements is getting important because it is getting concerned with the change of residential types and environmental friendly housing. However, in terms of the high-rise residential complex, paper about green building rating system and research about residential satisfaction to residents are lack. Therefore, this paper is analyzing of impotentness and satisfaction about housing subdivision, inside of building, facility, and maintenance. In addition, residential satisfaction(satisfaction, loyalty, preference) and impact relationship of environmental-friendly planning elements are analyzed by PLS structural equation. To sum up, first, improving of green building rating system in housing subdivision is impacted on loyalty if satisfaction was fulfilled. Second, increasing of environmental-friendly planning elements in inside of building is impacted on loyalty if both satisfaction and preference were fulfilled. Third, providing of green building rating system in facility and maintenance is analyzed as preference, but satisfaction hypotheses is not valued.

HIGH-RISE RESIDENTIAL COMPLEX HOUSES AS THE ELEMENT OF CREATING HIGHLY COMFORTABLE LIVING ENVIRONMENT

The article points out the necessity of constructing high-rise residential complex houses in the structure of Russian cities. On the basis of foreign countries experience it becomes obvious that the construction of such complexes can create highly comfortable and urbanized living environment. High-rise residential complex houses are quite new phenomena in the residential typology. The introduction of such complex houses into the regulated land of Russian cities requires active research work of designers and builders who could create their own type of high-rise residential complex houses in accordance with Russian climatic, social and economic conditions.

Improvement of a Requirement for Providing Special Boundary Element Considering Feature of Domestic High-rise Shear Walls

The reinforced concrete shear walls are being widely used in the domestic high-rise residential complex buildings. If designed by current codes, the special boundary element is needed in almost all high-rise shear wall buildings. This is because the equation for determining the provision of the special boundary element in the current codes cannot reflect the characteristics of the domestic high-rise shear walls with high axial load ratio and high proportion of elastic displacement to total displacement. In this study, a new equation to be able to reflect the characteristics is proposed. By using the equation, the special boundary element may not be necessary in certain cases so that structural engineers can relieve the burden of installing the special boundary element in every high-rise shear wall.

공동주택의 급탕부하 지속시간 및 부하 패턴에 관한 실증연구

세계는 원유재고 감소와 국제 정세의 불안정으로 인해 지속적으로 상승하고 있는 유가와 화석연료 사용으로 인한 환경오염에 관심이 고조되고 있다. 국내의 경우 원유를 100% 수입하고 있으며, 사용되고 있는 에너지의 에너지원 중 97%를 수입에 의존하고 있기 때문에 유가 상승에 따른 영향은 더욱 민감하게 나타난다. 국내에 수입되고 유통되는 에너지의 97% 중 1/3 이상이 사무소나 주거용 난방, 급탕 및 취사용으로 사용되고 있다. 이에 따라 정부는 물론 산업체, 연구소 등에서 사무소 및 주거용 에너지 소비패턴으로 인한 경제적인 부담을 줄이고, 고효율 저에너지 기술개발을 통해 소비에너지를 절약함과 동시에 탄소배출을 억제하는 신기술에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 우리나라는 국토가 좁은 반면 인구밀도가 높고, 인구의 도시집중화로 공동주택의 주거비율이 높은 추세이기 때문에 최근 공동주택단지는 초고층화, 대형화가 되고 있으며, 이로 인해 급수 급탕에 대한 사용패턴도 변화하고 있다. 하지만 현재 급수 급탕에 대한 설계 자료는 대부분 외국의 설계 기준과 현장 경험치에 의해 산출된 데이터에 의존하고 있으며, 사용실태에 대한 기초자료가 부족한 실정이며, 이로 인해 급수 급탕 설비 설계 시 과대 또는 과소 설계가 되는 문제가 발생하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 공동주택의 공급자 측 급탕 열 공급환경과 사용자측 열사용량을 측정하여, 급탕부하가 발생하는 시간과 사용 실태 및 패턴을 파악함으로써, 효율적인 공급자 측 급탕설비 설계와 관리를 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. The combination of space shortage and the high population density concentrated in urban areas of South Korea has resulted in the growth of large-scale high-rise residential complexes, naturally affecting water and hot water usage patterns as well. But the current designs for water and hot water supply in South Korea rely mostly on international design standards and data calculated on site due to the severe shortage of basic data in relation to actual use, which result in the frequent problem of the under-or over-design of water and hot water supply. The following study measures the hot water supplier's conditions and the user's heat usage to realize the amount of time required for hot water supply load generation and the pattern of actual use in order to create basic data for effective hot water supply facility design and maintenance.

Service charge issue in Malaysian high-rise residential management: An analysis using a fuzzy conjoint model

This paper discusses the results of a study on high-rise residential complexes, with particular attention reference to their financial management. The research focuses on service charges, looking at both sides of the management issue the amount owners pay and the level of service the management provides. Literature and field surveys indicate that this issue follows a circular argument in which both the property owners and the management corporations are contributory. The root cause seems to be financial. Owners’ failure to keep up payment leads to a shortage of funds and thus the corporation’s capacity to provide quality services, this situation in turn causes dissatisfaction among residents who, consequently, are reluctant to pay the prescribed charges. As a result, management corporations report having difficulty with service charge collection, only 50% of the residential complexes collect half of their fees on time. In addition to the analysis of the difficulties faced in collecting funds, this research also analyses owner satisfaction with service charge collection and complex management systems. The analysis used to analyse the survey is a fuzzy conjoint model, where the results were presented in terms of the linguistic value of ‘agree’. The analysis shows that residents were not satisfied with service charge fees and would like to know how their service charges are disbursed. They also admit to a delay in the payment of their fees. The residents admit to making many complaints about service and that they believe that their service charges are disproportionally high relative to the quality of services provided by their property management company. The findings also showed that no standard method exists for determining the rate for service charges in any high-rise housing complex. Key words: Fuzzy conjoint, high-rise residential complexes, housing management, service charge.

건축물 마감공사 자재 배치 최적화 모델

불필요한 자원 이동 및 운반은 건설 현장 작업 생산성에 부정적인 영향을 미치는 주요 원인 중 하나이다. 이에 따라 레이아웃 관련 연구들은 사이트 수준에서 이뤄지는 자원의 이동 및 운반을 최소화하기 위한 관리 기술과 기법들을 개발하기 위해서 노력하였다. 더불어 건축물이 대형화되고 평면이 복잡해지면서 작업층 내 레이아웃 연구의 필요성도 제기되었으나, 현재 건물 내부 자재 이동 및 운반에 대한 최적화 연구는 활발히 이루어지지 않고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 작업층 내 마감 자재의 위치를 최적화할 수 있는 모델을 개발하였다. 구축된 모델은 복잡한 건축 평면 위에서 다양한 자재들의 배치를 계획할 수 있으며, 이때 모델로부터 도출된 최적화된 자재 배치 계획은 작업 당일 작업자에 의한 총 자재 운반 시간을 최소화할 수 있다. 또한 작업과 자재 간 운반거리를 현실적으로 산정하기 위해서 실제 운반 거리 개념을 적용하였다. 개발된 모델의 적용성을 확인하고 기존 방법론과의 비교/분석을 위해서 실제 고층 주상복합 아파트를 대상으로 모델을 적용하였다. Unnecessary transportation of resources are one of the major causes that adversely affect construction site work productivity. Therefore, layout related studies have been conducted with efforts to develop management technologies and techniques to minimize the resource transportation made at site-level. However, although the necessity for floor-level layout planning studies has been increasing as buildings have become larger and floors have become more complicated, studies to optimize the transportation of materials inside buildings are currently not being actively conducted. Therefore, in this study, a model was developed using genetic algorithms(GA) that will enable the optimization of the locations of finishing materials on the work-floor. With the established model, the arrangement of diverse materials on complicated floors can be planned and the optimized material layout planning derived from the model can minimize the total material transportation time spent by laborers during their working day. In addition, to calculate travel distances between work sites and materials realistically, the concept of actual travel distances was applied. To identify the applicability of the developed model and compare it with existing methodologies and analyze it, the model was applied to actual high-rise residential complexes.

Insulation plan of aluminum curtain wall-fastening unit for high-rise residential complex

Aluminum curtain wall system is commonly used in high-rise residential complex. For the energy-efficient curtain wall system, the insulation performance of the fastening unit, which enjoins the curtain wall unit to the slab, should be improved because in Korea, hot water pipes for radiant heating are typically installed on the slab in residential buildings. However, this fastening unit composed of metals with high thermal conductivity, acts as a thermal bridge that increases heat loss. Therefore, in this study, we aim to develop a more effective insulation method for the fastening unit. Three alternative fasteners coated with urethane foam and insulation paint were selected (Case 1: using the existing fastener; Case 2: coating the upper part of fastener with urethane foam; Case 3: coating the entire surface of fastener with insulation paint; Case 4: coating the upper part of fastener with urethane foam and the lower part with insulation paint). The heat loss and economical efficiency of each case were analyzed through the three-dimensional annual transient heat transfer simulation and payback period method, respectively. Case 4, compared to Case 1, was found to show the best performance of reducing the annual heat loss by 8.14%. From an economical efficiency perspective, however, Case 2 was found to have the shortest payback period of 2.27years.

Sustainability Assessment and Development Direction of Super High-rise Residential Complexes from the Viewpoints of Residents

The study intends to assess the sustainability of super high–rise residential complexes from the viewpoint of residents. For the purpose of this study, the research first reviewed the KGBCC (Korean Green Building Certification Criteria) and related research materials. Secondly, it established sustainability indicators for assessment through synthesis of the KGBCC and UN Habitat Agenda. Finally, the assessment was completed by a survey of the residents of two similar super high–rise residential complexes. The analysis shows that sustainability of super high–rise residential complexes in Korea is low, and the area of ecological environment, energy use and indoor environment must be improved to enhance sustainability. Moreover, the following ten items have to be improved; expansion of interior and exterior green spaces, the establishment of natural habitats, natural ventilation, energy saving, barrier–free planning, the use of environmentally friendly building materials, greening of artificial ground, wind disaster prevention, and expansion of built–in storage spaces.

Viral Load Distribution in SARS Outbreak

An unprecedented community outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) occurred in the Amoy Gardens, a high-rise residential complex in Hong Kong. Droplet, air, contaminated fomites, and rodent pests have been proposed to be mechanisms for transmitting SARS in a short period. We studied nasopharyngeal viral load of SARS patients on admission and their geographic distribution. Higher nasopharyngeal viral load was found in patients living in adjacent units of the same block inhabited by the index patient, while a lower but detectable nasopharyngeal viral load was found in patients living further away from the index patient. This pattern of nasopharyngeal viral load suggested that airborne transmission played an important part in this outbreak in Hong Kong. Contaminated fomites and rodent pests may have also played a role.

A Study on Cooling Energy Savings Potential in High-Rise Residential Complex Using Cross Ventilated Double Skin Facade

The housing market in Korea is changing rapidly. As multi-functional high-rise residential complexes become popular, occupants need more comfortable indoor environment as well as more usable spaces than ever before. These trends force to increase the energy usage for environmental controls, especially for cooling. Thus, this study aims at reducing the cooling energy requirements of high-rise residential complex by maximizing the possibilities of natural ventilation strategies through cross ventilated Double Skin Façade. Based on ESP-r simulations, it was confirmed that the Double Skin Façade could reduce up to 30~40% of cooling energy compared to the conventional façade designs.

Developing Wellness Programs

This article describes the process from conception to implementation of developing a nurse-managed wellness center for senior citizens. The center was established in a federally subsidized high rise residential complex in midtown Manhattan. The unique senior population living in this New York City community includes a large proportion of performing artists. These individuals are struggling to maintain ties to their community at a time when their most productive performing years have passed. A health needs assessment was designed to evaluate whether or not these seniors were interested and would participate in a nurse-managed wellness center. The strategies needed to propose and move the project forward through all systems are explored. Two clinical nurse specialists assessed the need, proposed the center, and guided it through several political systems while maintaining leadership to establish a viable and innovative hospital-based health center based on prevention.
