탄소배출설계 및 탄소배출량 정량화 연구

(대한건축협회, 철강협회)

 건축물의 일반적인 탄소중립을 위해 전체 탄소배출량에서 39%를 차지할 정도로 건축물에서 나오는 탄소 배출량은 높음. 건물의 탄소배출량은 크게 운영탄소배출량과 Embodied Carbon으로 나뉘고, 현재까지는 운영탄소배출량에 중점을 두고 관리를 하고 그러나, 2050년 탄소중립을 위해서는 건물의 전 생애주기를 고려한LCA(Life Cycle Assessment) 평가방식으로 탄소배출량을 정량화하고 이를 체계적으로 관리할 필요가 있음. Embodied carbon의 탄소배출량을 정량화 평가하는 지침안 작성 및 예제집 작성완료, 현재 탄소중립설계 관련 인증 프로그램 개발 및 실제 프로젝트 수행 중에 있음.

 In pursuit of achieving carbon neutrality for buildings, it is crucial to address the considerable carbon emissions, accounting for 39% of the total. Building carbon emissions can be broadly categorized into operational carbon and Embodied Carbon. While the emphasis has traditionally been on managing operational carbon emissions, achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 necessitates a paradigm shift towards a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach that considers the entire lifecycle of buildings. This approach allows for the quantification and systematic management of carbon emissions.

 We have successfully developed guidelines and compiled exemplary cases for quantifying and assessing the carbon emissions from Embodied Carbon. These efforts enable us to comprehensively evaluate the environmental impact of various building materials and construction practices. Moreover, we are currently in the process of developing a certification program related to carbon-neutral design and actively engaging in real-world projects to further advance our commitment to sustainability.

 Through our ongoing initiatives, we strive to drive the industry towards a more sustainable future by embracing cutting-edge practices and fostering a holistic approach to carbon neutrality in the architecture and construction sectors.

강재 3D프린팅을 활용한 제진댐퍼 개발 연구 

(현대제철)

The Research Group for Design Optimization of 3D Printed metal Damper in Building structures.

이 연구의 최종목표는 ‘강재 3DP와 AI 위상체적화를 활용한 내진 H-솔루션 H-3DPD’를 개발함으로써, 국내 시장에서 새로운 형상의 선진 내진기술 댐퍼적용을 통해 국내시장을 확대하고, 현대제철의 기존 강재(ex Brace)와 함께 해외 강진지역으로 H-솔루션 H-3DPD 확대.

The ultimate goal of this research is to develop an "H-3DPD Solution," a cutting-edge seismic technology utilizing Advanced High-Performance 3D Printed (3DP) Steel and AI Topology Optimization. Through the implementation of innovative dampers and seismic solutions, this project aims to expand the domestic market and introduce a novel form of advanced seismic technology for damper applications. By combining the H-3DPD Solution with Hyundai Steel's existing conventional steel products (e.g., Brace), the initiative seeks to extend its global reach to seismic-prone regions abroad.

탄소중립 실현을 위한 해체가 쉬운 보-기둥 접합(CNDC) 시스템 개발

(한국연구재단 우수신진)

Development of an easy-to-dismantle beam-column joint (CNDC) system for the realization of carbon neutrality.

기존 철골보 접합부는 볼트와 용접에 따른 철골 폐기물들이 많이 발생하고 시공의 어려움으로 작업자의 안전성에 문제가 발생할 우려가 있음. 제안된 접합부는 완전 조립해체형으로 폐기물 제로화와 해체가 용이해서 재사용이 가능하고, 작업자의 안전성을 개선하고자 함. 또한, 다양한 PC 슬래브, PC기둥, 깊은보와의 시스템형 접합부 개발을 통해 유연한 현장 적용성을 목표로 함. 기존 보 접합에 소요되는 현장용접, 볼팅에 따른 공사기간을 획기적으로 단축시킨 새로운 모듈형 보-기둥 접합 시스템 개발을 목적으로 하고 있음.

Our proposed joint system aims to address the significant waste generated from traditional steel beam connections, where bolts and welding result in substantial discarded materials. Moreover, the complexities of construction pose safety concerns for workers. In contrast, our suggested joint system is a fully assembled and disassembled type, enabling zero waste production and facilitating easy dismantling for potential reuse. The primary objective is to improve worker safety while promoting sustainability.

Furthermore, our research focuses on the development of a versatile joint system that can be applied on various precast concrete slabs, precast concrete columns, and deep beams. By achieving this, we aim to enhance the adaptability and practicality of the joint system at construction sites. By drastically reducing the construction period required for conventional jointing methods such as on-site welding and bolting, our innovative modular beam-column joint system seeks to revolutionize the industry.

In summary, our research endeavors to introduce a novel jointing approach that not only minimizes waste and enhances worker safety but also offers flexibility and efficiency through its modular design. By providing a sustainable, safe, and time-efficient solution, we aspire to revolutionize the field of joint systems in the construction industry.
