Curved girders show very complex behavior compare to straight girders because the torsional moments always act on the structure even if there are no additional loads except self-weight. For this reason, engineers need to consider torsional behavior when design or analyse structure. However, most of curved bridges are designed as a series of straight girders because design specification does not reflect the curved beam theory. In this paper, curved girders are analysed by FEA program and the results are compared with the results of straight girders. Selecting the radius of curvature as a parameter, suitable analysis method for design of horizontally curved girder was suggested.

In this study, pure torsion tests were performed for a square cross-section reinforced concrete beams. Stirrup spacing and yield strength of the material was used to the experimental variables. From the test results, large torsional strength were occurred in specimens, which have small stirrup spacing. when, stirrup spacing was greater than the cross-sectional depth, regardless of the stirrup strength, maximum torsional strengths were nearly the same. Contrary, stirrup spacing was less than the cross-sectional depth, according to the stirrup strength, maximum torsional moment were largely. Lastly, the cracks of the beam much occurred in smaller stirrup spacing specimens.

At this paper two types of initial shapes and loads are introduced, and we assume that the initial shapes and loads are defined by sinusoidal functions. Under this assumption the asymptotical stability of the solutions is established by investigating the eigenvalues of the characteristic polynomial of the system. The exact solution is obtained when the initial shape and the load are given by a linear combination of sinusoidal functions. The asymptotic stability of the arch is completely analysed.

With the advent of quantum computer, the development of quantum-inspired search algorithms and their engineering-problem applications have emerged as one of the most interesting research topics. These algorithms find optimal values with the operators such as quantum-gate by using quantum-bit superposed basically by zero and one. In this process, the balance between the two features of exploration and exploitation can be kept easily. So, this paper is to propose an optimum design program for plane truss structures based on quantum-inspired evolution algorithm. The objective function consists of the weight of the structures, and the design variables are the cross-section areas. 10 bar plane truss model is adopted as numerical example.

A highly filled wood-plastic composite member and its production has become currently an important address of research concerned with environmental issues and engineering application of structures. Since the property of the composite material is manly depend on the wood content rate, a combination of compound, production order and so on, an investigation of production order and strength of the unit member in order to used in structures and building is important.

Corrugated plate is made that the local buckling, global buckling and interactive buckling occurs because of the geometric properties such as the accordion effect.Corrugated steel having such characteristics is shows a buckling characteristic different from the plate. However, It was a design by the basis of the shear buckling equation of plate. Therefore, this study was investigate the characteristics of the shear buckling mode and shear buckling stress of sinusoidal corrugated plate through a parametric study using the finite element method.

In this study, dynamic behavior of suspension bridge was evaluated under moving truck and lane load specified in the Korean limit state design code. The essential parameters affecting dynamic behaviour of bridges, i.e., road surface roughness and vehicle speed were considered. The road surface roughness was randomly generated based on ISO 8608 and the vehicle speed was considered 60~120 km/h. 3-D finite element model for the selected suspension bridge was constructed and Newmark’s direct integration method was used for bridge-vehicle interaction analysis.

This paper presents the comparison of the test results for material behavior for dry cast steel and synthetic fiber reinforced concrete. ASTM C1609 flexural beam test were carried out for two different fiber dosages of synthetic and steel fibers. Synthetic and steel fiber dosages were 2.4 kg/m3 and 13.1 kg/m3, respectively. From the results of tests, material properties were found including; compressive strength, first-peak load, peak load, and specimen toughness. ASTM beam load- deformation plots were obtained for each fiber beam to show the fiber behavior and strengthening after the initial crack.
