Abstract:
High-rise apartment buildings, the preferred type of housing in South Korea, have very similar exteriors. Thus, apartment complexes tend to look similar with no unique identity of complex or city. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing the exterior design of high-rise apartment buildings in their 40-year history. I surveyed 50 apartment complexes from the 1970s to 2010, categorized important periods in Korean history, and analyzed corresponding changes in the exterior design of high-rise apartment buildings. I visited apartments in Seoul to take photos and conduct field surveys, and statistically analyzed the results by classifying the buildings’ external characteristics. I found correlations between the exterior design of the buildings and three major factors influencing their changes and development. The first is increasing institutional supply in the 1970s and developing landscapes in the 2000s. The second is an economic factor—economic growth. Third, as technology developed, apartment buildings transitioned from low-rise to high-rise, and their exterior design underwent many changes. This study reveals the relationship between changes in high-rise apartment buildings’ exteriors as they developed alongside South Korea’s growth and the influencing factors, and presents major factors that determine the direction of exterior design for high-rise apartment buildings in the future.

Abstract:
The paper aims to review the techno-legal provisions for safer high rise appartment construction in Nepal. The review of existing acts, rules, directives, guidelines, byelaws, codes and other unpublished documents were done for the research using content analysis followed by expert consultation as it needs to be viewed in different technical aspects which need expertise of different fields.The major provisions of the building code for seismic safety of apartment buildings are defined in Nepal National Building Code (NBC) 105:1994 and international codes are also used fulfilling the minimum requirements of the Nepal National Building Code as per NBC 000:1994. The architectural design parameters, fire fighting provisions, provisions of fire safety requirements are conformed as per the relevant NBC. At least eight government authorities are directly involved in the process of approval and building permit process. There is the provision of third party monitoring system also. Similarly the use approval to the earthquake damaged apartment is provided after repair, restore and retrofitting work according to the damage category and severity of the damages in structural and nonstructural members. For the effective compliance of the NBC and byelaws in apartments seismic safety of high rise buildings should be increased in NBC 105:1994 updating the seismic design parameters, building byelaws provisions should be updated for higher value of green open spaces, setbacks and access road. Effective coordination between all stakeholders and independent third party supervision and monitoring process should be done. For minimizing the issues raised by the neighbours after Gorkha Earthquake 2015, proper zoning for apartment construction, seismic vulnerability assessment of the existing apartments and Insurance of Neighbours of the apartments should be done. It is a review research to signify the role of NBC and bylaws for development of Nepal.

Abstract:
Air exchange in tall apartment buildings is critical in controlling indoor environments in urban settings. Airtightness is relevant to energy efficiency, thermal comfort and air quality experienced by urban dwellers who spend much of their time indoors. While many air change measurements have been made in residential homes, fewer are available for high-rise apartments. The blower-door and CO2 exchange methods were used to measure air change in some Hong Kong apartment buildings, for comparison with those from other parts of the world. Hong Kong apartments are often small and typical rented apartments show a median of seven air changes per hour under a 50 Pa pressure difference, similar to Mediterranean houses, though much greater than the airtight buildings of Northern Europe. Extrapolation of blower-door measurements made at 50 Pa to the natural pressure difference measured for individual Hong Kong apartments provides an approximation (within 8%) of the natural air change rate measured with a tracer. Air flow is a function of the pressure difference ∆Pnf and the exponent n was found close to the typical 0.6. There was a positive relationship between air permeability and construction age, but some of this also seems to reflect varying levels of maintenance by the building management companies. The median exchange in the apartments under naturally ventilated conditions was 0.26 h−1, not atypical of some houses on the US West Coast.

Abstract:
The development of high-rise apartment buildings is an alternative solution to meet the housing and settlement needs. After the enactment of the Job Creation Law (UUCK), the Government issued Regulation No. 18 of 2021 concerning Management Rights, Land Rights, High-rise Apartment Units, and Land Registration. In this regulation, the period of Building Use Rights (HGB) over Management Rights (HPL) can be granted for 80 (eighty) years for the construction of high-rise apartments. This study was conducted to determine whether granting HGB over HPL for 80 (eighty) years is appropriate to be implemented and whether it potentially threatens the safety and environmental security of the high-rise apartment residents. The study results show that based on the prevailing regulations, granting HGB over HPL for 80 (eighty) years is appropriate because there is periodic inspection of the feasibility of the function every 5 (five) years as a requirement for certificate of feasibility of function (SLF) extension. However, in terms of building reliability, granting HGB over HPL for high-rise apartments for 80 (eighty) years still potentially poses a threat to the safety and environmental security of the residents because the building's capability will decrease in strength that affects the building's reliability. Another risk arises because the sanctions given for the negligence of periodic inspections on the building's reliability in the process of extending SLF are only in the form of administrative sanctions, so more severe sanctions such as criminal sanctions need to be imposed on violators.

Abstract:
In the recent years, the design for high-rise residential buildings in Shanghai has been changing in floor plan. It is the transformation in the shape of the house from residential tower-shaped buildings into combined apartment buildings; the transformation in constitution of floor plan, the number of apartment in each floor; the transformation in area and function of each apartment and even in living habits. Studies of the transformation in shape mentioned above were carried out by the morphology methodology. Combined apartment buildings in Shanghai combined together leads to high economic benefit, and the number of floors is up to 34 floors. Auxiliary area which is shared equally to each apartment, accounts for an approximately large portion of a typical floor plan. Each apartment in Shanghai must be added 12-18% of external auxiliary area. The cause and effect of the transformation in the design for high-rise apartment buildings are valuable experiences for other developing metropolitans in China, so as other countries in region.

Abstract:
A previous study of apartment building evacuation drills showed that as many as 25% of the occupants mentioned not hearing the fire alarm from inside their apartments. A new experiment was developed to observe evacuation drills and to measure the sound level of the fire alarms in three high-rise apartment buildings. These buildings, built during the 1980's, met the local building regulations regarding the provision of fire alarms at the time of construction. Each building contained approximately 200 apartments, with 1 to 4 persons per apartment. For each building, the printed fire safety procedures stated that all occupants should leave the building or move to an area of refuge, upon hearing the building fire alarm. During each evacuation drill, video cameras, were located in corridors and staircases, to record the movement time and behaviour of occupants. Using a digital audio tape recorder, precise sound samples of the fire alarm and background noise were taken from different locations in the buildings. Analyses of the alarm sound spectrum and levels were performed. Results confirm the subjective assessment of occupants who mentioned not hearing the fire alarm in specific locations of the building. It was also found that, in some other areas, the alarm was overpowering. The impact of alarm audibility on fire safety is discussed.

Abstract:
Indonesia is a developing country that is experiencing rapid development growth. According to the Central Statistics Agency, in 2020 the population of Indonesia will be 270.20 million people. The increase in population from year-to-year results in increasingly narrow lands for development. Therefore, developers and businesspeople make the best use of this opportunity in the world of construction by carrying out developments, including high-rise apartments. As an earthquake-prone area, the planning process for buildings, especially tall buildings in Indonesia, must be carried out very carefully by considering the strength of the structure against high-intensity earthquake loads. Risk reduction strategies can be implemented through building vulnerability assessment by checking structural performance using pushover analysis. In this study, the performance of a 32-storey apartment building was examined using the pushover analysis method. The resulting calculation is that the performance of the structure is 0.0023 for the lateral direction and 0.0113 for the transverse direction. Through the ATC 40 method it is known that the result of structural performance is Damage Control, where after an earthquake the building is still habitable.

Abstract:
Daylighting improves users’ experience in visual comfort, aesthetics, behaviour and perception of space and plays an important part in enhancing the health and wellbeing of occupants inside a dwelling. However, daylighting design is challenging for high rise living since configuration of multiple apartments together often results in deep plans and wrongly oriented apartments with poor daylighting. Melbourne considered as the most liveable city in the world has witnessed a boom in high rise apartments in recent years, where bedrooms were designed without windows or with one small opening. Previous studies indicated that one out of two apartments in Melbourne’s central business district (CBD) failed to provide daylighting in the bedrooms. This has led to amendments in planning policy with the aim of providing access to daylight in all habitable rooms. This paper investigates the daylighting conditions in apartment buildings using field measurement and daylight simulations. Daylight levels in 12 apartment units in Melbourne CBD were measured. Additionally, daylight simulations were conducted to identify ways for optimizing light levels in standard layouts. The field measurements showed that daylighting levels were insufficient in one third the apartments due to the presence of deep floor plates and external obstructions. The results from the daylight simulations showed that window to floor area ratio (WFR) of approximately 30% is required for achieving acceptable daylighting levels in bedrooms that have south orientation.

Abstract:
Abstract Cities are responsible for 60%-80% of the world’s energy use and for approximately the same percentage of greenhouse gas emissions. The existing multi-apartment buildings of multifamily housing sector are often energy inefficient, and the heating system does not ensure optimization of heat distribution of individual apartments. Heat distribution, heating system balancing, heat loss detection and calculation, individual heat energy accounting are difficult tasks to accomplish. This article deals with the temperature monitoring system designed to retrieve temperature differences necessary for overall building heat monitoring and individual apartment monitoring. The sensor testing case study process and its measurements are analysed.

Abstract:
The past three decades have been a time of intensive development for high-rise housing in Shanghai. It has grown from an experimental prototype to the city's predominant form of housing. In this thesis, three periods in the developmental progress of Shanghai's high-rise housing will be examined, beginning in 1972. The interrelationships between the specific socioeconomic contexts, building codes, and design strategies are explored sequentially, and twelve typical high-rise housing projects are discussed, in an effort to trace the evolution of high-rise housing design strategies.
The study focuses primarily on three aspects of high-rise housing design: site organization, building design and unit layout. Responses to socio-economic transformation and building code regulations related to architectural design strategies are explored from the macro to the micro level. The experiences and lessons learned from previous works are reviewed, as well as suggestions for improving the performance of future projects, through approaches to architectural design and building-code adjustments.

Abstract:
The overconsumption of finite energy resources by the residential sector, especially during the summer season in Saudi Arabia, is due to an almost insatiable need for air conditioning to reduce heat. Cheap electricity prices also contribute to high consumption in apartment buildings. At least 50% of electricity consumption is used in households, where air conditioners consume about three-quarters of total usage. This study will evaluate the thermal performance of low-rise residential buildings in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. The selected building, newly built in 2020, has three floors. To explore the internal thermal performance of the selected apartment, readings were taken in June 2021. Data collected included indoor air temperature values recorded every fifteen minutes., over a one-week period, in two parts of the case study building. In addition, point measurements of specific environment variables were performed at selected time points. On-site readings have been tabulated and analyzed, and the results provide a more accurate measurement of the fabric and design performance of existing buildings, particularly the side walls, floors and ceilings. outside, to evaluate internal thermal performance. The results illustrate the effectiveness of existing building structures used in the case study building. Also, this study concluded that indoor surface temperatures were up to 6.5 °C higher than indoor air temperatures, despite having thermal insulation on external surfaces.

Abstract:
Abstract This study employs an archetype-based modeling approach to estimate and analyze the urban scale cooling load profile of high-rise buildings in the Marina district of Lusail City, Qatar. Since the Marina district is a newly built district, the building typology and geometric characteristics are considered the main criteria for the selection of representative archetypes of the district. Three high-rise building archetypes are developed using EnergyPlus software to represent the available building stocks in the district, which are residential, commercial, and mixed-use. Required data for the input parameters are collected from various sources such as the Lusail City GSAS 2 Star Rating Guidelines, which define the minimum requirements in the region, ASHRAE 90.1, and ASHRAE 62.1 standards, along with user surveys when available. Detailed cooling load profiles of the three building archetypes are obtained in EnergyPlus, which enables aggregating the cooling loads to obtain the cooling load profile of the Marina district at various time resolutions. The cooling load profiles obtained after the simulation of each building archetype model in EnergyPlus are validated with real building cooling loads measured in the case study area. The developed cooling load profiles in this study can inform district cooling facilities for an optimal design and operation of the plant, reveal the energy-saving potential of buildings, and aid in defining cost allocations or billing strategies for end users without the need for the installation of zone-level submeter to each apartment unit. This study further contributes to the establishment of a representative building archetype library for hot and arid climate zones. Thus, the building archetype models produced for the Marina district in this study are also applicable to other regions with similar building types and climatic characteristics.

The residential building patterns are according to the living behavior, climate consideration, environmental requirement and market demands. Our previous studies have shown that sunshine regulation is by far the most important factor in the generation of the residential building pattern since 1980. This paper attempts to make a comprehensive evaluation to see the generating mechanism of the residential morphological patterns. Ten residential plots from two cities located in different climate zones of Xi’an and Nanjing are evaluated. Five factors, namely, the type of the apartment, plot FAR, land coverage, sunshine regulations and spatial characteristics of plot pattern, will be used as comprehensive evaluation indicators in the comparison. The study reveals how these factors interplay in the generation of the observed plot patterns and which factor is most important in this process. If the sunshine regulations were the key factor, how different the plot patterns in different climate zones and latitudes would have varied. Through evaluating generating mechanism we could find out the key generating factors, which is useful as the references for design.

Abstract:
Naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs) are apartment, condo, co-op and social housing buildings that while not purpose-built for older adults, have become home to a high number of them. In Toronto, there are 489 residential buildings that are NORCs. Of these, 256 are located in neighbourhoods with the highest cumulative incidence of SARS-CoV-2, and are home to 40,955 older adults 65 years of age and above, including 18,144 older adults 80 years of age and above. Prioritizing COVID-19 vaccination by both age and neighbourhood of residence is an effective strategy to minimize deaths, morbidity, and hospitalization. Targeting people living in NORCs in high-risk neighbourhoods for early vaccination is a practical application of that strategy, which will also address barriers to vaccination in this population.

Rahmani, Mehran, and Manan Naik. Structural Identification and Damage Detection in Bridges using Wave Method and Uniform Shear Beam Models: A Feasibility Study. Mineta Transportation Institute, February 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.31979/mti.2021.1934.

Full text
Abstract:
This report presents a wave method to be used for the structural identification and damage detection of structural components in bridges, e.g., bridge piers. This method has proven to be promising when applied to real structures and large amplitude responses in buildings (e.g., mid-rise and high-rise buildings). This study is the first application of the method to damaged bridge structures. The bridge identification was performed using wave propagation in a simple uniform shear beam model. The method identifies a wave velocity for the structure by fitting an equivalent uniform shear beam model to the impulse response functions of the recorded earthquake response. The structural damage is detected by measuring changes in the identified velocities from one damaging event to another. The method uses the acceleration response recorded in the structure to detect damage. In this study, the acceleration response from a shake-table four-span bridge tested to failure was used. Pairs of sensors were identified to represent a specific wave passage in the bridge. Wave velocities were identified for several sensor pairs and various shaking intensities are reported; further, actual observed damage in the bridge was compared with the detected reductions in the identified velocities. The results show that the identified shear wave velocities presented a decreasing trend as the shaking intensity was increased, and the average percentage reduction in the velocities was consistent with the overall observed damage in the bridge. However, there was no clear correlation between a specific wave passage and the observed reduction in the velocities. This indicates that the uniform shear beam model was too simple to localize the damage in the bridge. Instead, it provides a proxy for the overall extent of change in the response due to damage.

Doo, Johnny. Unsettled Issues Concerning eVTOL for Rapid-response, On-demand Firefighting. SAE International, August 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.4271/epr2021017.

Abstract:
Recent advancements of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft have generated significant interest within and beyond the traditional aviation industry, and many novel applications have been identified and are in development. One promising application for these innovative systems is in firefighting, with eVTOL aircraft complementing current firefighting capabilities to help save lives and reduce fire-induced damages. With increased global occurrences and scales of wildfires—not to mention the issues firefighters face during urban and rural firefighting operations daily—eVTOL technology could offer timely, on-demand, and potentially cost-effective aerial mobility capabilities to counter these challenges. Early detection and suppression of wildfires could prevent many fires from becoming large-scale disasters. eVTOL aircraft may not have the capacity of larger aerial assets for firefighting, but targeted suppression, potentially in swarm operations, could be valuable. Most importantly, on-demand aerial extraction of firefighters can be a crucial benefit during wildfire control operations. Aerial firefighter dispatch from local fire stations or vertiports can result in more effective operations, and targeted aerial fire suppression and civilian extraction from high-rise buildings could enhance capabilities significantly. There are some challenges that need to be addressed before the identified capabilities and benefits are realized at scale, including the development of firefighting-specific eVTOL vehicles; sense and avoid capabilities in complex, smoke-inhibited environments; autonomous and remote operating capabilities; charging system compatibility and availability; operator and controller training; dynamic airspace management; and vehicle/fleet logistics and support. Acceptance from both the first-responder community and the general public is also critical for the successful implementation of these new capabilities. The purpose of this report is to identify the benefits and challenges of implementation, as well as some of the potential solutions. Based on the rapid development progress of eVTOL aircraft and infrastructures with proactive community engagement, it is envisioned that these challenges can be addressed soon. NOTE: SAE EDGE™ Research Reports are intended to identify and illuminate key issues in emerging, but still unsettled, technologies of interest to the mobility industry. The goal of SAE EDGE™ Research Reports is to stimulate discussion and work in the hope of promoting and speeding resolution of identified issues. These reports are not intended to resolve the challenges they identify or close any topic to further scrutiny.
