Abstract
A system and a method of preventing disaster by compensating displacement of a skyscraper in accordance with wind pressure are disclosed. The system for preventing disaster of a skyscraper includes a displacement sensing module configured to sense displacement of the skyscraper, and a displacement compensating apparatus configured to pull the skyscraper in the gravity direction in case that the sensed displacement is more than a reference value.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 . A system for preventing disaster of a skyscraper, the system comprising:
a displacement sensing module configured to sense displacement of the skyscraper; and a displacement compensating apparatus configured to pull the skyscraper in the gravity direction in case that the sensed displacement is more than a reference value.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the displacement sensing module includes:
at least one GPS module set to the skyscraper, and configured to detect location of the skyscraper in accordance with swing of the skyscraper through communication with a GPS satellite; and a laser sensing module configured to sense a laser beam, and wherein a space is formed to an upper floor from a lower floor in the skyscraper, and the laser sensing module senses the laser beam outputted from a laser module in the space.
3 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising:
at least one stress sensing module set to parts of the skyscraper, and configured to sense stress/deformation of the skyscraper in accordance with swing of the skyscraper; and a central management module configured to receive the sensed result by the displacement sensing module and the sensed result by the stress sensing module from the displacement sensing module and the stress sensing module, detects the displacement of the skyscraper in accordance with the received results, and control operation of the displacement compensating apparatus in accordance with the detected displacement.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the displacement compensating apparatus pulls the skyscraper in the gravity direction by using a hydraulic method, and the stress sensing module is a fiber bragg grating sensor.
5 . The system of claim 4 , wherein the displacement compensating apparatus includes:
at least one anchor structure formed to a space over a ground floor from a space under the ground floor; and a hydraulic system configured to control each of the anchor structures, and wherein the anchor structure includes; an anchor wire; a fixing section configured to fix the anchor wire to an upper part of the skyscraper; a hydraulic cylinder; a tension section connected to the anchor wire, a part of the tension section being inserted into the hydraulic cylinder, and wherein the tension section inserted into the hydraulic cylinder moves in the gravity direction or a direction opposed to the gravity direction in accordance with control of the hydraulic system.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the hydraulic system includes:
a hydraulic tank configured to supply hydraulic fluid in the hydraulic cylinder; a hydraulic pump configured to pump the hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic tank; and a hydraulic controlling section connected between the hydraulic cylinder and the hydraulic pump, and configured to control flow of the hydraulic fluid pumped by the hydraulic pump.
7 . A method of preventing disaster of a skyscraper, the method comprising:
measuring displacement of the skyscraper in accordance with wind pressure; and pulling the skyscraper in the gravity direction in case that the measured displacement is more than a reference value.
8 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the step of measuring the displacement includes:
measuring present location of the skyscraper in real time through communication with a GPS satellite; measuring the displacement of the skyscraper through reception location of a laser beam outputted to a space over a ground floor from a space under the ground floor.
9 . The system of claim 7 , further comprising:
sensing stress/deformation of the skyscraper by using a stress sensing module, wherein a force pulling the skyscraper is determined in accordance with the measured displacement and the sensed stress/deformation.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the skyscraper is pulled by downing an anchor wire using a hydraulic method.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
