This study examines the optimum shape of a trolley, the driving device of the retractable membrane roof. The closed-type trolley was determined as the model of the study, and a trolley composed of cylindrical-shaped inner and outer holders was selected as the basic model. Based on this model, a cylindrical-based optimal trolley model was proposed. In the basic trolley model, steel was used for the outer holder, and steel, titanium, and aluminum were used for the inner holder. In each case, the most economical shape for the external load of the basic model was newly proposed through the topology optimization process, and the finite element analysis results of the proposed model were compared to define the durability and economics. Here, topology optimization analysis and finite element analysis used the commercial software ANSYS. As a result of optimization, the volume of the outer holder of the trolley was reduced by 58.2% and the volume of the inner holder was reduced by 25.0% compared to the basic model. In the case of stress, a stress increase of 43.2 to 79.2% occurred depending on the material of the inner holder, but it was found to be significantly lower than the yield strength, thereby ensuring safety.

Building hardware joints are welded in most cases, which have risks of fire and explosion. Besides, the secondary damage of the destruction of the welded parts can be caused by the horizontal displacement of the structure due to earthquake or wind load. This paper compared the horizontal displacement following abilities of welded building hardware and non-welded building hardware. To do this, We conducted actual formation shake table test, and checked on the horizontal displacement following ability of structure by comparing their responses to earthquake load. We made the 2m-high framework to examine the responses of the actually constructed building hardwares, and analyzed the displacement responses of the welded-typed, non-welded-typed, and cruciform bracket building hardwares. We conducted the test by increasing acceleration rate until displacement reached 40mm corresponding to allowable relative story displacement II. The result of the test showed that the building hardware using welding work made cracking and breakage on welded connections of welded building hardware, but non-welded building hardware with no use of welding work and cruciform bracket building hardware make no problem, and that non-welded building hardware is superior to that of the welded building hardware in the horizontal displacement following ability due to earthquake or wind load.

Solar power is being spotlighted recently as a new energy source due to environmental problems and applications of solar power to curved structures are increasing. Solar panels installed on curved surfaces have different efficiencies depending on its position and the efficient positioning of solar panels plays a critical role in the design of solar power generation systems. In this study, the changing characteristics of solar irradiance were analyzed for hemispherical dome with a large curvature and the positioning of solar panels that can efficiently utilize solar energy was investigated. With an icosahedron-based hemispherical dome consisting of triangular elements as target model, a program for calculating solar irradiance using a normal vector of the solar module on each face was developed. Furthermore, the change of solar irradiance according to the sun’s path was analyzed by time and season, and its effects on shades were also examined. From the analysis results, the effective positioning could be determined on the basis of the efficiency of the solar panels installed on the dome surfaces on solar irradiance.

When attaching the building exterior, builder used welded-building hardware in general. But it caused variety accidents like fires and explosions. Thus in this study, we developed the building hardware that not use welding and can follow the structures horizontal displacement when an earthquake occurs in the load building. And shaking table test was conducted.

Shell structure that is best used for the long span structure is a structure which can effectively resist against the external load. But these structure has instability like snap-through and bifurcation buckling, and it has a characteristic sensitive to the initial conditions. Therefore, to determine the analysis model of DDOF Space Truss and when the beating load was applied in model, we confirmed the changing results for height and load.

Long span structures like space-structures have instability phenomenon, jump buckling or bifurcation. And these instability phenomenon responds very sensitivity, depend on the initial condition. In this study, define the 1-degree of freedom space structure and when model has beating load, analysis critical load of model using 3D contour map for load, variable , displacement in the axial. The analysis results, when  is 1.0, is able to see the lowest critical load and the resonance phenomenon.

The development of QEA(Quantum-inspired Evolution Algorithm) 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 truss system based on QEA and 17 bar plane truss model is adopted as numerical example.
