Wall Construction

Tile is one of the most popular materials for high-rise building exterior wall construction in Taiwan. High-rise buildings in Taiwan were first built approximately 35 years ago. Wall tiles of these buildings currently are deteriorated facing the need of repair. In recent years, subject of exterior wall tile inspection at high-rise building have gained considerable attention. Taiwan government enacted the regulations on fire evacuation and equipment inspection for building safety. And attempt to add the article of exterior wall inspection for building safety. In other ways, high-rise buildings were first built approximately 50 years ago in Japan. Inspection and repair work for high-rise buildings plays an important role in the building construction market in Japan. Jurisdiction of Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism legislate the regulations “Periodic Report System”. Exterior wall inspection methods were regulated under these regulations. In order to sustain safety quality environment within existent high-rise buildings, it is necessary for Taiwan government to legislate on exterior wall inspection today. The purpose of this study is to compare the regulations for inspection method of high-rise building exterior wall tile in Taiwan and Japan. We hope the conclusion of this study could give a significant suggestion to Taiwan building inspection method in the future.

Passive Fire Protection

The fire in high-rise buildings is perhaps more dangerous than those occur in normal buildings because of the strong stack effect and wind effect on the fire. The wind effects on the wind flame spread across the exterior wall of the high rise building are studied in this paper by the numerical methods. The results show that high wind speed will change the wind flame spread direction and make the room inclined above the fire room more danger, especially the room at the same floor adjacent to the fire room. Special passive fire protection measures should be taken under these kinds of conditions.

Seismic Forces

In recent years in Taiwan, some pedestrians were injured by falling external wall tiles. Exterior wall tile fell down for the temperature or other effects of seismic forces, becoming a potential public safety crisis. Office of Building Administration of Taoyuan City Government started inspecting high-rise buildings, which were over eleven stories and constructed before 1995 in Taoyuan city from 2015 to 2016. This study is a contract research. We inspected 298 high-rise buildings’ external wall tiles in Taoyuan City for city government. In this study, we classified the risk of buildings from Level A to E. D and E, which were regarded as the dangerous buildings and in need of repair immediately. D and E accounted for 41.6% percent of total buildings. We also concluded the data in the viewpoints of building age, story, exterior material, direction, and district. The authors hope the conclusion of this study could be submitted as reference material of inspection system, as well as give a significant suggestion to the periodic inspection approach in the future.

Of the construction processes involved in high-rise building construction, core wall construction is a highly repetitive construction works. Therefore, the effective management of core wall construction works by a project manager can save costs and shorten the duration of high-rise building construction. This study analyzes a case in which a core structure succeeding method (CSSM) is applied to core wall construction. The results of the case study found that the efficiency of CSSM in terms of construction costs and duration is higher than that of the core wall preceding construction method (CWPCM).
