Steel Box-Truss Hybrid bridge consisted with steel box type in positive moment that is allowed to resist with low depth and truss type in negative moment is new type bridge. This can be used as 80m∼150m long span bridge and is economical structural type. But safety of truss type is concerned because of torsion that occurs when Steel Box-Truss Hybrid bridge applies a curved bridge. Therefore, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate straight and curved bridge for commercialization of Steel Box-Truss Hybrid bridge. In this study, structural analysis of Steel Box-Truss hybrid curved bridge with various curvature is performed and compared with member force and displacement of Steel Box-Truss Hybrid straight bridge. Also the applicable limited curvature of Steel Box-Truss Bridge form is proposed.

Wind Turbine Tower takes about 26.3% of overall wind turbine cost. So tower shell design is very important part. When designing tower eigenfrequency, strength analysis, fatigue strength analysis, buckling analysis and flange connection analysis have to considered. This paper contains procedure of tower analysis and compare ABAQUS result with design specification

For the optimized design of the wind turbine tower, demonstrate the superiority of ability to resist the lateral load on the ICH-CFT, i.e. ability to resist the moment, compared to Steel Tubular Type that is mainly used in the existing, by using P-M Diagram

This study estimated extreme wind speed by means of national wind map, provided by Korea Institute of Energy Research, to sustain the wind towers’ structural stability that is required for the production of mass wind power. The number of research object regions is three in the East, West and South seas. Meteorological resource data were calculated by dividing the data into the various reference periods. In addition, Gumbel distribution method and Extreme Wind Speed Model (EWM) indicated in IEC 61400-3 were adopted to measure the extreme wind speed. In conclusion, it is discovered that the more suitable Gumbel distribution method is to secure the stability of wind towers.
