The superelastic SMA materials can return to undeformed shape without additional heat treatments only after removal of applied loads. 6-story braced frame buildings were designed in accordance with the current design specifications in order to verify the performance of such bracing systems. Based on the anlysis results, Superelastic SMA bracing systems were also compared to those with conventional steel bracing system. And at last, analysis results show that the superelastic SMA bracing systems are very effective to reduce the residual inter-story drifts.

Almost all buildings and infrastructures made of advanced composite materials are fabricated without proper design. Unlike airplanes or automobiles, prototype test is impossible. One cannot destroy 10 story buildings or 100-meter long span bridges. People try to build 100-story buildings or several thousand meter long span bridges. In order to realize "composites in construction", the following subjects must be studied in detail, for his design. Concept optimization, Simple method of analysis, Folded plate theory, Size effects in failure, and Critical natural frequency. Unlike the design procedure with conventional materials, his design should include material design, selection of manufacturing methods, and quality control methods, in addition to the fabrication method. In this paper, concept optimization and folded plate theory are presented for practicing engineers.

In this study a hybrid system consisting of steel and carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) is considered. While CFRP is selected for impact energy reflection due to its high strength, steel is selected for impact energy absorption due to its high ductility. A numerical model considering the elastoplastic behavior of steel is formulated to simulate the dynamic responses of the hybrid system subject to an impact load. A hybrid roadside guard rail system of steel rail and CFRP post is proposed and analyzed with a case study. The numerical model for the hybrid roadside guard rail system is used to find optimized design of the proposed hybrid system for future study.

This study is aimed to examine the influence of the rotational stiffness of U-shaped ribs on the local buckling behaviors of laminated composite plates. Applying the orthotropic plates with eight layers of the layup [(0°)4]s and [(0°/90°)2]s, 3-dimensional finite element models for the U-rib stiffened plates were setup by using ABAQUS and then a series of eigenvalue analyses were conducted. There is a need to develope a simple design equation to establish the rotational stiffness effect, which could be easily quantified by comparing the theoretical critical stress equation for laminated composite plates with elastic restraints based on the Classical laminated plate theory. This study will contribute to the future study for evaluating the design strength and optimum design of U-rib stiffened plates.

Consequently the gap space between middle and end beam can be used as facilities installation, moreover the suggested Omega beam system is expected to get the effect of reduction in story height as well as reduction of quantity.
