Full textAbstract:
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.

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 The review of existing acts, rules, directives, guidelines, byelaws, codes and other unpublished documents were done for the research using content analysis followed by expert consultation as it needs to be viewed in different technical aspects which need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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
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 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.

Early studies conclude that high-rise apartment buildings present challenges for people’s quality of life, resulting in social isolation, social annoyance and anonymity for residents. Nevertheless, empirical research into factors supporting social interaction in high-rise apartment buildings is still scarce. This study aims to investigate how often and where people in high-rise neighborhoods interact, and how this is affected by personal and neighborhoods characteristics. A mixture of both quantitative and qualitative methods was used including social interaction diaries and questionnaires among 274 residents, in-depth interviews with 45 residents and objective measurement of the physical environments in four high-rise apartment buildings for low in-income people in Hanoi, Vietnam. Results demonstrate that social interaction is influenced by a number of personal and neighborhood characteristics. Furthermore, most social interactions—also gathering and accompanying playing children—take place in the circulation areas of the apartment buildings. However, the use of these spaces for different purposes of interaction is found to have negative impact on people’s privacy, the feeling of safety and cleanliness of the shared spaces. The findings of this study provide information for planners and designers on how to design and improve high-rise apartment buildings that support social interaction.

Aapartment houses account for more than 60% of the total of residential buildings to be built in South Korea. In particular, a high-rise apartment house with 21 floors or more has steadily increased in densely populated areas. The heating and cooling energy demand of the apartment house is greatly affected by the shape and the thermal insulation of its building envelope. In addition to its functional efficiency, the shape of building envelope in a high-rise apartment house is considered to be an important factor for the urban landscape with diverse construction methods and materials. In this study, we analyzed the heating and cooling energy demand depending on the effective heat capacity of building structure and the installation position of thermal insulation materials as the design conditions of high-rise apartment houses. This study used the ECO2 energy analysis program for the building energy efficiency grading certification system in South Korea.

Elevators are essential equipment in high-rise buildings. In addition to residential buildings, elevator noise that can occur in high-rise buildings such as hotels, hospitals, and offices affects residants as noise. ISO 16032 is the current international standard for elevator noise measurement methods. Through many previous studies, the elevator noise measurement method was continuously studied. In particular, problems that are difficult to apply to high-rise buildings, in the case of high-rise apartments in Korea, have been verified. In order to solve these problems, previous studies have set items that need improvement. In addition, improvement plans were proposed through various experiments in apartment houses in Korea. In this study, I try to determine whether the improvement plan can be appropriately applied to the improvement of the current standard, and to find out what needs to be discussed in future research.

Full textAbstract:
Prefabricated additional insulation elements have demonstrated success in renovating up to 5-storey apartment buildings. However, the unique challenges posed by high-rise buildings necessitate a closer examination of installation and long-term performance. In this study, we developed an additional insulation element specifically tailored for renovating high-rise apartment buildings and analysed its hygrothermal performance. To test the performance of the insulation elements, we installed a prototype and measured its performance at critical points along the external envelope. We calibrated a calculation model and applied building performance simulation software to explore various combinations of prefabricated elements. Our goal was to compare the associated risks and the key hygrothermal properties of these different material combinations within the insulation element. Critical points between the insulation layer and the wind barrier, as well as between the surface of the existing concrete panel wall and the vapour control layer of the additionally insulated exterior wall were analysed. The study's results indicate that the thermal resistance and water vapour permeability of the wind barrier layer, and the presence of an appropriate vapour control layer primarily influence the performance and moisture dry-out of a structure. Additionally, the study results indicate that the weather component has a higher impact than in lower buildings as the wind-driven rain loads are considerably higher in the upper parts of the high-rise buildings. The initial moisture (w = 110 kg/m3 at the height of the 9th storey and w = 117 kg/m3 at the height of the 16th storey) dry-out can last more than 3 years depending on the building type and materials used. This study underscores the importance of tailored solutions and vigilant moisture safety management in high-rise apartment building renovations, particularly when utilizing prefabricated additional insulation elements.

Abstract Phnom Penh, Cambodia, has planned to be one of the liveable and sustainable cities by improving the living quality of citizens. However, the new living developments (high-rise apartments, townhouses, office buildings) have ignored the neighbourhood living conditions (mixed use and dense) and caused urban gentrifications. Moreover, the study also shows that new generations prefer a good quality home design responding to needs and lifestyles. These address opportunities for pursuing living design solutions according to the policies, people’s preferences, and pain points of existing housing designs. A typical urban residential type in Phnom Penh is Apartment Shophouses. In the past, they were a row of two-story buildings located in city areas. The ground units were for business purposes, while the upper floors were for multi-family living accessing from a courtyard in the middle. Presently, the Apartment Shophouses have changed into a row of 5-6 story, diversified-use, and lively buildings. Nevertheless, they lack maintenance, poor daylight, and ventilation. According to the policies and residents’ preferences, these challenges for the Apartment Shophouses revitalization into an adaptable, lively neighbourhood and good lifestyle building for the new generations. The study investigates the living and adaptive conditions of the Apartment Shophouses from the 40 residents via online questionnaires and 10 residents via interviews. The results show weak conditions and opportunities for building with quality improvement based on the Open Building approach.

High-rise apartment buildings have long been associated with the poor mental health of their residents. The aims of this paper are to examine whether this connection is necessarily so, by reviewing the evidence relating to the relationships between high-rise living and social wellbeing, occupant’s stress levels, and the influence they have on mental health. From selected literature, psychological stress and poor mental health outcomes of the populations that live in high-rise apartments are indeed apparent, and this is particularly so for apartments in poor neighbourhoods. Yet many apartments in developed cities are in affluent areas (particularly those with views of green/blue space), where residences on higher floors are more expensive. Either way, high-rise living and mental health outcomes are a social justice issue. Our review allows us to propose two models relating to high-rise living relevant today, based on these differences.

Abstract Over the past decades rapid population growth in urban areas has promoted the development of high-density housing such as high-rise apartments. In order to properly supply water to this growing sector, it is essential to understand the determinants of its water use. However, this task has largely remained unexplored through the empirical study of water demand mainly due to the scarcity of data in this sector. Using a rich source of GIS-based urban databases in Auckland, New Zealand, this study integrated apartment water consumption, property characteristics, weather, water pricing and census microdata to overcome this issue. This study also compared high-rise apartment water use and its determinants with low-rise apartments. Through applying panel data models, the study revealed that, similar to the low-rise apartments, household size is the most important determinant of high-rise apartment water use in Auckland, where other socioeconomic factors, building features, water pricing and weather variables were not significant determinants. The study also showed that the per capita water consumption in the high-rise apartments in Auckland was higher than in the low-rise apartments, challenging the assumption underlying contemporary urban policy that densifying the central city areas can offer significant savings in water use.

This study evaluates the envelope thermal performance of high-rise apartment buildings in Malaysia, which are being largely dominated due to the high economic development and increased population. The evaluation was conducted using the Overall Thermal Transfer Value (OTTV), which is the key tool used in the Green Building Index to assess the Energy Efficiency of buildings. Different high-rise apartment buildings were selected with different architecture styles, to account for several periods of building construction. The OTTV value was calculated for the west-oriented façade of the selected buildings, which is considered as a critical orientation that receives high solar radiation. The results showed that four out of the five investigated buildings achieved the minimum requirements for the OTTV, i.e., less than 50 W/m². The maximum and minimum OTTV values with the buildings’ original design were 82.60 W/m² and 41.54 W/m², respectively. However, one of the buildings achieved a lower OTTV value with the installation of shading devices by the owners, i.e., decreased from 48.39 W/m² to 37.60 W/m². The solar radiation penetration through the fenestration was found to be the major contributor to the total OTTV, while it can be controlled by the shading devices. Besides, using dark paints increased the heat conduction through the opaque walls by more than double compared to light paints. This study shows that some design considerations, such as paint colour, shading devices, and glazing material, can have a great influence on the heat gain in buildings.

In urban downtown, densely cluster building either as a large number of middle, low and high-rise, may experience various types of damage occurring around the buildings because of wind. Newly constructed apartment complexes fall to the risk of strong winds at the corners of apartment buildings or gusts on the pedestrian passages. Research is on pedestrians safety in connection to wind flow inside and outside apartment complexes constructed in downtown areas. This study selected 3 types of apartment complexes and compared the wind velocity ratio among different spots in the complexes through wind tunnel experiment and CFD analysis. Furthermore, we changed the deployment and outward form of apartment complexes through CFD analysis and examined the wind-velocity ratio reduction effect. According to the results of wind tunnel experiment, wind velocity between two buildings decreased usually, but wind velocity increased in the space between the sides of two buildings and the space between front and back apartment buildings. Again, when comparing the results of wind tunnel experiment with the results of CFD analysis, they showed similar tendencies except for wake areas. Etc.

Full textAbstract:
The special act for the management of disasters in super high-rise buildings and complex buildings with underground connections included the installation of a certain area of evacuation safety layer within 30 floors for high-rise buildings. However, for high-rise buildings with 30 stories or less, there is no separate regulation for evacuation safety floors. For high-rise apartments with less than 30 stories that do not have regulations for evacuation safety floors, an underground parking lot can be designated as a refuge shelter-in-place (SIP). This study aims to provide an optimal evacuation plan for evacuation simulations in high-rise apartments. This plan will ensure that the occupants are safely evacuated to the refuge SIP within a minimum timeframe. Evacuation simulations are conducted to establish an optimum evacuation plan. This is because there could be delays in the evacuation time as well as human casualties when evacuating to a SIP using stairs for the elderly and the disabled. Therefore, the elderly and the disabled use elevators to evacuate. The scenarios in this study were simulated on the basis of the number of occupants, the speed of the elevator, the number of evacuation stairs as SIP escape routes, and whether the elevator was used.

The issues of constructing high-rise, primarily residential, buildings have a great social significance. Not every plot of land, acquired in the Russian Federation is suitable for high-rise construction. Therefore, every construction company that plans to erect a multi-apartment building, a high-rise office building, or a skyscraper must take into account not only technical norms but as well sanitary legislation regulations that set obligatory requirements about insolation of apartments. The article includes a short study of several norms in the Russian legislation regarding insolation of dwellings; analises the problems of judicial interpretation of the statutory limitations. In this aspect it researches the debatable questions arising in practice of state arbitration courts dealing with the lawsuits on allocation of land-plots by the local administration. The analysis of the judicial practice is followed by description of the difficulties facing the developers of land-plots, concerning the project and territorial planning documentation.

Due to the rising prices of houses and rent, apartment buildings have become the preferred and most utilized dwellings in Australia. However, there have been cases of serious defects in multi-unit dwellings (apartment buildings), posing various risks to and reducing potential residents’ confidence in such dwellings. To address this issue, the current study investigated the types, causes, risk severity, and impacts of defects on residents in mid- to high-rise multi-unit dwellings in Australia. The study utilized a mixed approach involving quantitative (online questionnaire) and qualitative (interviews) methods. Data were collected from 104 apartment building residents in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, with support from interviews with six experienced local construction professionals. The results revealed that there are 11 key defects present in local apartment buildings, with waterproofing, internal finishes, and structural issues being the most frequently reported. Residents typically report these defects to building owners, agents, and managers, who take more than three months, on average, to rectify them, adding to the residents’ psychological issues and their inability to use the property as intended. The reasons for the delayed rectification of defects include non-responsive owners, agents, and building management teams, scheduling conflicts, litigation, and high costs. The interviewed professionals acknowledged the presence of defects and identified the reliance on Design and Construct (D&C) and fixed price contracts, lack of public awareness, and absence of a system to capture builders’ reputation, as well as a manipulative quality check system, as key reasons for defects. This study addresses the defect concerns in multi-unit Australian dwellings (apartments) and expects to spark a much-needed debate around reforms in the construction sector to address these issues and minimize their risks and impact on residents.

The article is devoted to one of the actual problems concerning the current state of the facades on apartment buildings in residential districts in Kiev - videoecology. The main purpose of the article is to determine the degree of visual aggressiveness of multistorey residential buildings in Kiev. It also investigates the problem of finding the optimal criteria for creating an ecologically healthy and friendly inhabited environment in the capital city of Ukraine. The modern visual environment in the capital is contaminated, not only because of the increasing numbers of promotional billboards, but also because of the contemporary architecture of high-rise buildings such as office buildings, apartment buildings. Their composition is usually based on a simple description of a rhythm. There are also repetitions of the end parts of buildings in ?lowercase? buildings, which are high-rise buildings that alternate with nine or identical apartment groups. It creates a sense of oppressive monotony and leads to psychological and visual fatigue, especially when these repetitions are the only pattern the eye perceives. In the article a theoretical block of ecological-aesthetic criteria is defined, which must be met by the modern architecture facades of multistorey residential houses in Kiev.

Abstract The city of Jakarta is the 7th big city in the world that has the most high-rise buildings. High-rise buildings in Jakarta were built from 1971 until now and in the 90s it was the peak of the construction of high-rise buildings such as offices and apartment. Tall Buildings with glass facade, concentrating plans are the most typology of office high-rise buildings in Jakarta. Buildings with the dominance of glass facade that reflect heat cause an increase in temperature in the microclimate and a decrease in building performance resulting in the amount of energy used by buildings, especially air conditioners. Building facade play an important role in reducing the improvement of the microclimate and energy use in buildings. Therefore, an analysis was carried out on the BRI II building on Jalan Sudirman Jakarta as a case study that represents the typology of the most office buildings in Jakarta. It turns out that this building has a high OTTV (Overall Thermal Transfer Value) value, so the largest AC cooling load comes from the building casing. Therefore, facade retrofit is one of the alternatives that can be done to reduce energy use, especially air conditioning. After that, a simulation of the casing retrofit to obtain a significant retrofit action can reduce the AC energy used through ottv value reduction analysis.

Since the establishment of the new rules for mandatory indoor installation of air conditioning outdoor units for apartment houses, a safe working environment for their installation and maintenance has been secured in Korea. However, in some apartments and high-rise buildings, low cooling performance and excess energy cost by air conditioners have been reported; these were not expected in the numerical analysis at the design stage. This study focuses on the obstruction to the discharge airflow owing to the insect screen installed on the opening of the outdoor unit room; this was overlooked in previous studies. The effect on the refrigeration cycle owing to the insect screen was analyzed by measuring the condensation parameters of the operating air conditioner installed in a real apartment house. By this research, improvements in the building design and HVAC equipment installation method were intended from a practical perspective.

Abstract Currently, Bekasi City is developing into a residence for an urban, industrial center, and built apartments. One of them is the Urban Sky-Bekasi Apartment. This researched raises by an apartment as a case study to evaluate the performance of multi-story building structures as earthquake-resistant buildings. This researched conduct by add the original building height to 8 m (a basic height equals 102 m and a new height equals 110 m) to analyze whether the planning data made could still bear the same load with different heights and could still be categorized as earthquake-resistant buildings. From the results of the SAP-2000 output. The value of the basic static and dynamic shear forces in a 110 m building is always greater than a 102 m building in both the X and Y directions, this indicates that the taller a building is, the higher the design earthquake force used will be. The displacement in a 110 m building is always bigger than a 102 m building in both the X and Y directions. The weakest strength of the structure in a 110 m building is on the 29th floor in the X directions and Y directions, while the 102 m building is on the 26th floor in the X directions and 24 directions. It shows that with the addition of high SAP-2000 output data such as displacement, drift ratio, and other data after analysis shows that a 110 m building is categorized as an earthquake-resistant building according to SNI 1726-2012.

The house mouse, Mus musculus domesticus, is a common pest in multi-family residential apartment buildings. This study was designed to gain insights into residents’ impressions of house mice, develop more effective house mouse detection methods, and evaluate the effectiveness of building-wide house mouse management programs. Two high-rise apartment buildings in New Jersey were selected for this study during 2019–2020. Bait stations with three different non-toxic baits were used to detect house mouse activity. Two rodenticides (FirstStrike®—0.0025% difethialone and Contrac®—0.005% bromadiolone) were applied by researchers over a 63-day period and pest control operations were then returned to pest control contractors for rodent management. There were significant differences in the consumption rates of non-toxic baits and two toxic baits tested. A novel non-toxic bait, chocolate spread, was much more sensitive than the two commercial non-toxic baits for detecting mouse activity. The house mouse management programs resulted in an average 87% reduction in the number of infested apartments after three months. At 12 months, the number of infestations decreased by 94% in one building, but increased by 26% in the second building. Sustainable control of house mouse infestations requires the use of effective monitoring strategies and control programs coupled with preventative measures.

Since 1980’s, the rapid economic growth resulted in so many aged apartment buildings in South Korea. Nevertheless, there is insufficient maintenance practice of buildings. In this study, to facilitate the building maintenance the authors classified the building defects into three levels according to their level of performance and developed a mobile application tool based on each level’s appropriate feedback. The feedback structure consisted of ‘Maintenance manual phase’, ‘Online feedback phase’, ‘Repair work phase of the specialty contractors’. In order to implement each phase the authors devised the necessary database for each phase and created a prototype system that can develop on its own. The authors expect that the building users can easily maintain their buildings by using this application.

Since the start of Russia's military invasion on February 24, 2022 and subsequent hostilities in Ukraine, about 125,000 residential buildings have been destroyed and damaged, including about 13,000 apartment buildings. After the end of the war, an urgent problem will be the quick provision of high-quality housing for about 1 million families who were left with their homes and apartments. Destroyed and damaged buildings require a systematic approach to their restoration or construction of new buildings. The article analyzes the typical destruction of high-rise prefabricated reinforced concrete residential buildings. The Speedstac modular construction solution technology from the Canadian architectural firm WZMH Architects and its research laboratory Sparkbird is proposed for the restoration of damaged and partially destroyed multi-story buildings. An example of the application of this technology for the restoration of one of the districts of Pivdenniy Saltivka in the city of Kharkiv is given.

In Nanning basin, because of the peculiar relief and stratum model, the bearing support soil layers for pile foundation of high-rise buildings generally is gravel layer or mudstone layers or sandstone layers. On first or second terrace in basin, gravel layer is most chose as the bearing stratum for pile foundation of high-rise buildings. Static driven piles are commonly used in Nanning, because they have advantages of fast construction, high bearing capacity and noiseless despite costly. In this paper, the actual test data of a 32-stories apartment building of a college in Nanning has been consider- ed in detail. According to the present situation of project operations, the test results show that the piles which length is less than 6m can fully meet the design requirements.

Abstract This research departs from problems related to the high demand for housing and limited land in Jakarta, which makes it difficult for Jakarta residents to have a place to live, which is affected by rising house prices that are disproportionate to income. apartments can be a solution to this problem, because apartments do not require as much land as housing, apart from that apartments here are expected to be the answer to vertical housing in the city of Jakarta that is adequate and safe for residents of Jakarta with easy access to public transport, schools, hospitals, shopping centres, etc. Apartments as a high-rise residential environment could result in social isolation, social disruption and anonymity for its residents, where these problems are related to the issue of social sustainability, so that by implementing social interaction which is part of social sustainability in apartment design it is hoped that it can answer these problems because social interaction can increasing social cohesion, a sense of community and promote social welfare. This study uses qualitative methods by collecting data from literature studies, questionnaires and comparative studies. The results of this study discuss architectural indicators that can accommodate social interaction and architectural indicators of social interaction that are applied to apartment buildings.

Indonesia has a high earthquake risk, therefore several buildings in Indonesia are designed with seismic retention systems where the column structure is designed to be stronger than the beam. The calculation of apartment building structure in this final design is based on SNI 1726:2012 and SNI 2847:2013. The method used in this calculation is the Special Moment Resisting Frame System (SMRFS) because the building area is included in the category of E seismic design which is a type of soft soil. The Special Moment Resisting Frame System is designed so that the building has more strength to withstand earthquakes, especially the column structure. This building is classified as a high-level building, therefore the analysis of seismic load is carried out by Spectrum Response Dynamic, using the SRSS (Square Root of the Sum Squares) method because the building structure has far-flung natural vibration times. In high-rise buildings, it is necessary to control the displacement between floors to reduce the large sway on each floor. The displacement between floors resulting from elastic analysis is less than the maximum allowable intersection between floors. so that the building structure is still safe against swaying.

The world entered the post-COVID-19 era of coexistence with viruses, but people are still concerned as to whether there will be another virus outbreak in the future. Research on virus defense in the construction field is still underway, and considerable suggestions were proposed. If it seems these suggestions were adopted in many buildings, why is the pandemic still out of control? The main focus of this study is to explore a sustainable design strategy that should be adopted by apartment-style buildings in the post-pandemic era in terms of media, sensory, and action elements, and to analyze the applicability of these measures in specific buildings. The study analyzes cases of high-rise apartment-style buildings and used methods such as simulation analysis, direct observation, and comparative analysis to compare the design measures before and after the pandemic. The study shows that, while these measures mainly affect the environmental and social aspects of sustainability, some aspects of old buildings remain difficult to address. The existing standards of new building design need to be adjusted to make the necessary changes. Through our analysis, we concluded that, although the original green building system provides a good foundation for the adjustment of housing in the post-pandemic era, residential design should provide a more reliable framework for possible future pandemic defense. The study is based on the collation of research conducted by architects and experts, and presented in the relevant literature, and the specific analysis of completed apartment buildings within the context of the pandemic situation. This study provides a direction for apartment buildings to meet the challenges of sustainable development and paves the way for a clearer future in the field of construction building.

The article discusses some features of planning solutions of apartments in the architecture of Yerevan, which are typical to different periods, since the turn of 19-20th centuries to the present day. Housing is the chief determinant of human activity. In the process of societal development the house is the foundation of a family, and the family, on its turn, is the key to the stable state. Nevertheless, the time influences the residential architecture. Societal progress periodically affects the living environment. Therefore, housing formation process never reaches the stage of completion: it is always in an endless process of development. The above mentioned primarily concerns the evolution of the planning structure of the apartment. In this context, the dynamics of evolution of housing in Yerevan has accelerated in the second half of the 19th century. The centuries-generated space-planning system of apartment begins to develop in accordance with the rapid changes of social, urban planning and life processes of the time (extension of industry, formation of new socio-economic relations, rapid growth of population, acceleration of construction processes). The impetuous transformation of the dwelling structure is reflected in the complex process of evolution - starting from the traditional houses and ending with the apartments in high-rise buildings. The research of the problems of the traditional dwelling structure, its transformation in the first apartment buildings and diverse improvements of apartment planning solutions contributes to the definition of the main development stages of the dwelling units during the last century, which are observed in the article. Identification of the characteristics of each stage and the multilateral evaluation of different qualities of spatial-planning arrangement of apartments allow working out proper solutions for dwelling units in the future.

Vertical occupancy, especially apartments, began to live the face of the city. Not without reason, housing needs continue to increase sharply as the availability of vacant land is increasingly limited. Occupying an apartment becomes a trend and lifestyle for young people. The reason boils down to productivity. The construction of apartments is usually built close to various activity centers, both business, commercial, education, health to entertainment. The improvement of building construction is not supported by the availability of land that is increasingly limited, especially in the city of Jarakta, making the construction of high-rise buildings anticipate this. The construction of multi-story buildings also increases the risk of fire. In 2018, according to him, there were at least 1,078 recorded disaster events throughout 2018. Head of the Jakarta Fire and Rescue Management Agency, Subedjo, said that out of a total of 897 buildings or tall buildings in Jakarta, 280 tall buildings had not yet accomplished the fire protection system (Dinas, 2018).Therefore, this research needs to be done to evaluate the lifesaving facilities and infrastructure in the building. The application of fire safety in buildings can be evaluated regarding to NFPA 101 (2013). Based on NFPA 101A: Guide on Alternative Approaches for Life Safety (2013), there are 12 elements of safety and Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 26 / PRT / M / 2008 concerning Technical Requirements of Fire Protection Systems in Building Buildings. The building that became the object of research is one of the buildings in the area of Jakarta mentioned building X and building Y. The variables that are the focus of the research are fire stairs, fire doors, and access roads. Based on the results of the study, the level of reliability of the means of saving lives against fire hazards in building X is equal to 58% and in building Y is 65%.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the significance of social isolation and the factors that create social isolation for residents of inner-city high-rise apartment communities. We critically examine how the physical environment and perceptions of safety in apartment buildings and the inner-city implicate the quality of interactions between residents and with their neighbourhood community. Design/methodology/approach – The authors used mixed-methods consisting of survey questionnaires supplemented by semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions using stratified random sampling to access predetermined key strata of inner-city high-rise resident population. Using coefficient of correlation we examine the significance of the association between social isolation, age and ethnicity amongst Auckland's inner-city high-rise residents. Findings – The authors found the experience and expression of social isolation consistent across all age groups, with highest correlation between functional social isolation and “being student”, and older adults (60+ years), length of tenure in current apartment and length of time residents have lived in the inner-city. Research limitations/implications – As a case study, we did not seek in this research to compare the experience and expressions of social isolation in different inner-city contexts, nor of inner-city high-rise residents in New Zealand and other countries, although these will be useful areas to explore in future studies. Practical implications – This study is a useful starting point to build evidence base for professionals working in health and social care services to develop interventions that will help reduce functional social isolation amongst young adults and older adults in inner-city high-rise apartments. This is particularly important as the inner-city population of older adults grow due to international migration, and sub-national shifts from suburbs to the inner-cities in response to governmental policies of urban consolidation. Originality/value – By identifying two forms of social isolation, namely functional and structural social isolation, we have extended previous analysis of social isolation and found that “living alone” or structural social isolation did not necessarily lead to functional social isolation. It also touched on the links between functional social isolation and self-efficacy of older adults, particularly those from immigrant backgrounds.

Full textAbstract:
High-rise housing buildings were first built approximately 45 years ago in Japan and these buildings currently are old and deteriorated facing the need of repair. In this study, I present a practical case - Kajima Corporation Minaminagasaki Dormitory, one of the oldest high-rise reinforced concrete buildings in Japan. The purpose of this study was to identify the main content and cycle of the repair work, as well as examine and generalize the causes of deterioration in this building. In conclusion, there are 4 factors affecting the renovation of high-rise buildings, including air, light, water pressure and operation. There are several types of renovation works at skeleton and infill part arranged. In the public area, exterior wall repair and roof waterproofing could be seen in 15-years cycle. Balcony rail repair and furniture of revolving windows were repaired in 5~10-year cycle. In the private area, prefabricated bath, bath heater, bathtub at bathroom and sink at kitchens were replaced in 15-year cycle. In order to sustain good quality resident environment within existent high-rise housing buildings, it's necessary for construction industry to develop new technology and upgrade the function today. Government should also devote to the revision of the laws for housing environment improvement.
