REPUBLIC OF CHINA (TAIWAN)

4. Plan for Building Advanced Technological Innovation Development, Promotion,
and Applications

In order to promote the building industry and to improve construction technology and quality in
2017, the ABRI conducted three subprograms regarding innovative construction materials, seismic
hazard prevention, and wind engineering. In addition, it also held seminars and various activities. The
related achievements are shown as follows:

(1) The ABRI released 7 research reports, which were concerned with the Construction Code of Building

Exterior Walls. In addition, a revised draft of the Foundation Design Code was proposed.
(2) The ABRI released 7 research reports, which were concerned with preliminary and detailed seismic

evaluation of steel and SRC (steel reinforced concrete) buildings.

(3) The ABRI sponsored 8 seminars, including the Structural Concrete Design Code, the Foundation Design
Code, and other topics. The MOI also revised 5 related design codes, including the Structural Concrete
Design Code, the Foundation Design Code, the Design Code for
Wood Structures, the Steel Design Code, and the Construction

Code of Steel Structures. Through these promotional events, the
ABRI provided architects and engineers with its research results on
building technology.

(4) The ABRI published the Wind Design Manual of Buildings to provide
step-by-step design examples for reference; proposed wind-resistant
design methods and wind analysis processes for building attachments

and curtain walls; analyzes aero-elastic characteristics of buildings and
responses of photovoltaic array panels by wind tunnel experimental
▲ Wind Design Manual of
data, and improved “Directional Irwin Probe” to upgrade testing Buildings
capacity.

▲ 2017 Structural Concrete Design Code Revised Draft Seminar ▲ Flexural Test of RC Column Jacketing
