U-flanged truss beam is composed of u-shaped upper steel flange, lower steel plate of 8mm or more thickness, and connecting lattice bars. Upper flange and lower plate are connected by the diagonal lattice bars welded on the upper and lower sides. In this study the structural experiments on the U-flanged truss beams with various shapes of upper flange were performed, and the flexural and shear capacities of U-flanged truss beam in the construction stage were evaluated. The principal test parameters were the shape of upper flange and the alignment space of diagonal lattice bars. In all the test specimens, the peak loads were determined by the buckling of lattice bar regardless of the upper flange shape. The test results have shown that the buckling of lattice bar is very important design factor and there is no need to reinforce the basic u-shaped upper flange. However, the early lattice buckling occurred in the truss beam with upper steel bars because of the insufficient strength and stiffness of upper chord, and the reinforcement in the upper chord is necessary. The formulae of Eurocode 3 (2005) have presented more exact evaluations of lattice buckling load than those of KBC 2016.

In this study, an algorithm applying deep learning to the truss structures was proposed. Deep learning is a method of raising the accuracy of machine learning by creating a neural networks in a computer. Neural networks consist of input layers, hidden layers and output layers. Numerous studies have focused on the introduction of neural networks and performed under limited examples and conditions, but this study focused on two- and three-dimensional truss structures to prove the effectiveness of algorithms. and the training phase was divided into training model based on the dataset size and epochs. At these case, a specific data value was selected and the error rate was shown by comparing the actual data value with the predicted value, and the error rate decreases as the data set and the number of hidden layers increases. In consequence, it showed that it is possible to predict the result quickly and accurately without using a numerical analysis program when applying the deep learning technique to the field of structural analysis.

경량한 세장 구조물의 내풍안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 다양한 제진장치가 사용되어 왔다. 제진장치에 의하여 구조물에 부가되는 감쇠는 기존의 질량, 강성에 비례하는 고전감쇠와 달리 비고전 특성을 가진다. 비고전 감쇠는 복소의 모달 특성을 보유하기 때문에 해석과 평가과정에서 모드의 거동을 파악하기 어렵다. 이러한 이유 때문에 복소 모달 변수를 실수로 변경하기 위한 방법이 요구 되며, 변경된 실수 모달 특성이 가지는 물리적 의미를 고찰할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 상태공간에서 비고전 감쇠시스템의 복소 모달 변수를 실수 모달 변수로 변경하는 과정을 소개하고 그 모달변수가 가지는 특성을 분석함으로써 비고전 감쇠를 가지는 구조물의 해석 및 평가가 보다 명쾌한 물리적 의미를 가지고 이루어질 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 비고전 감쇠구조물의 계측응답만으로 실수의 모달 특성을 추정할 수 있는 상태공간 기반 모드분해 기법에 대해서 다루고 그 특성을 비교 검증하였다. 본 연구에서 제시된 기법을 카고메 트러스 댐퍼가 설치된 비고전 감쇠 구조물에 적용하여 수치적으로 검증하였으며, 수치해석 결과로부터 복소 모드형상이 실수공간으로의 변환이 가능하며, 그 실수 모드형상이 계측응답만으로도 추정 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

In current research, it was attempted a preliminary design and evaluation of non-uniform ultra high-strength concrete (UHSC) truss members. UHSC used here has the compressive strength of 180 MPa, the tensile strength of 8 to 20 MPa, and the tensile strain after cracks up to 2%. By the three-dimensional finite element stress analysis as well as strut-tie approach on concrete solid beams, the non-uniform truss shape of UHSC truss was designed with the architectural esthetic concept. In a series of examples, to compare with conventional concrete members, the proposed UHSC truss members have advantages in capabilities of the slender design with minimum weight with high performances under transverse loadings as well as the aesthetically non-uniform design for spatial structures.

This study performs finite Element stress analysis of flange connections at noise barriers with circular steel tubes, which have a light weight. Subsequent numerical simulation results for three types of models (standard, double, and standard models strengthen by ribs) present that the applied connections for target noise barriers constructed show suitable structural performance. In this paper, the existing finite element stress analysis using the ABAQUS program is further extended to study the local stress distribution of the noise barriers with new type circular steel tubes. The numerical results for various parameters are verified by comparing different types with stresses occurred in the noise barrier from the numerical simulation.

This paper analyzed structural behaviors of the staggered truss system, typically used in low seismicity regions, resisting the lateral loads such as wind and seismic load. A comparative study of cost and efficiency was carried out by analysing and designing the 10- and 20-story buildings with various types of truss, including pratt, howe, warren, K-, and vierendeel, which may typically be used in staggered truss system. In design, column and truss members are selected in group, and the efficiency of the member design was judged by average demand capacity ratio of the all members in same group. And economic analysis of the system was investigated by the quantity of the structural members. As a result, staggered truss system with the pratt truss and warren truss showed the most economical and efficient performance for 10-story building, and 20-story building, respectively.

Cable structures are lightweight structures of flexible type, cable members have only axial stiffness related to tension, they can carry neither bending nor compression. This study is the analysis of cable truss systems are composed of upper and low cables by connecting bracing cables, the structural principle is based on a tensegrity system by using bracing tension members, discontinuous compression members and continuous tension members. A hanging roof of cable truss system is too flexible against vertical loads, most cable members are stabilized by connecting the prestressed upper and lower cable by bracing cables. A cable truss roof system is formed by adding a set of cables with reverse curvature to the suspension cables. With the sets of cables having opposite curvature to each other, cable truss is able to carry vertical load in both upward and downward direction with equal effectiveness, and then a cable truss acts as load bearing elements by the assemble of ridge cables, valley cables and bracing cables. This paper will be shown the geometric non-linear analysis result of cable truss systems with various sag ratio for deflections and tensile forces, the analytical results are compared with the results of other researchers.

There are a number of construction methods to build spatial structures such as erection method, Element method, Block method, Sliding method, Lift-up method and Push-up method. These methods are uneconomical and low accuracy, and require long construction duration because of a need of a scaffold or a tower crane to build spatial roof frame. In this study, the construction method to erect a truss structure was proposed as an economical and easy installation method. The proposed method has end hinges of keel truss and winches with horizontal cable. This method makes safe and accurate production and reduces construction duration because trusses are built on the floor or supporter. The goal of this study is to verify the validity of construction method by building scale model using the proposed method.

Western style timber roof trusses used as typical roof structures of buildings during a modern period have been developed with the interactions with their facade and functionality. The shapes of trusses and member sizes have been diversely changed by the purposes of architects, historical circumstances, and structural characteristics. For this reason, the change in the shapes of western style timber trusses along the times is one of important technology assets demonstrating the development of their structures during the modern period. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to find out their structural characteristics throughout parametric analysis of which parameters were determined from the collected and classified documents on western style timber roof structure built in the modern period carefully obtained from public institutions. Results of the parametric analysis are as follows. The number of king-post trusses and modified king-post trusses built between 1920 and 1937 reaches almost half of the total number of truss types investigated. The mean values of their spans, distances, tributary areas, and height are respectively, 10.5m, 2.4m, 24.37㎡ and 3.24m. The cross-section areas of trusses tend to reduce since the city construction law was enacted in 1920. Also, this study found that western architects usually used larger structural members than eastern architects and usages and finishing materials of roof trusses are not always considered as one of the important design parameters.

본 연구는 스페이스 트러스 구조물의 초기 형상을 결정하기 위해 밀도법을 이용한 위상최적화 기술을 고려하고자 한다. 대부분의 초기 형상설계는 다양한 최적화 방법을 활용하지 않고 설계자의 경험이나 시행착오적인 방법을 바탕으로 수행되고 있다. 이런 이유로 합리적이고 경제적인 최적화기술이 초기 형상설계에 도입되어야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 스페이스 트러스 구조물을 대상으로 설계영역을 설정하고 위상최적화를 수행하여 최적의 재료분포를 찾은 뒤 크기최적화를 이용하여 최적부재 크기를 찾고자 한다. 이와 같이 밀도법을 이용한 위상 및 크기최적화를 병행하여 수행할 경우 합리적인 스페이스 트러스 구조물의 초기 형상을 도출할 수 있다.
