In this paper, the instability of the domed spatial truss structure using wood and the characteristics of the buckling critical load were studied. Hexagonal space truss was adopted as the model to be analyzed, and two boundary conditions were considered. In the first case, the deformation of the inclined member is only considered, and in the second case, the deformation of the horizontal member is also considered. The materials of the model adopted in this paper are steel and timbers, and the considered timbers are spruce, pine, and larch. Here, the inelastic properties of the material are not considered. The instability of the target structure was observed through non-linear incremental analysis, and the buckling critical load was calculated through the singularities and eigenvalues of the tangential stiffness matrix at each incremental step. From the analysis results, in the example of the boundary condition considering only the inclined member, the critical buckling load was lower when using timber than when using steel, and the critical buckling load was determined according to the modulus of elasticity of timber. In the case of boundary conditions considering the effect of the horizontal member, using a mixture of steel and timber case had a lower buckling critical load than the steel case. But, the result showed that it was more effective in structural stability than only timber was used.

The governing equation for a dome-type shallow spatial truss subjected to a transverse load is expressed in the form of the Duffing equation, and it can be derived by considering geometrical non-linearity. When this model under constant load exceeds the critical level, unstable behavior is appeared. This phenomenon changes sensitively as the number of free-nodes increases or depends on the imperfection of the system. When the load is a periodic function, more complex behavior and low critical levels can be expected. Thus, the dynamic unstable behavior and the change in the critical point of the 3-free-nodes space truss system were analyzed in this work. The 4-th order Runge-Kutta method was used in the system analysis, while the change in the frequency domain was analyzed through FFT. The sinusoidal wave and the beating wave were utilized as the periodic load function. This unstable situation was observed by the case when all nodes had same load vector as well as by the case that the load vector had slight difference. The results showed the critical buckling level of the periodic load was lower than that of the constant load. The value is greatly influenced by the period of the load, while a lower critical point was observed when it was closer to the natural frequency in the case of a linear system. The beating wave, which is attributed to the interference of the two frequencies, exhibits slightly more behavior than the sinusoidal wave. And the changing of critical level could be observed even with slight changes in the load vector.

In this paper, the dynamic snapping of the 3-free-nodes spatial truss model was studied. A governing equation was derived considering geometric nonlinearity, and a model with various conditions was analyzed using the fourth order Runge-Kutta method. The dynamic buckling phenomenon was observed in consideration of sensitive changes to the force mode and the initial condition. In addition, the critical load level was analyzed. According to the results of the study, the level of critical buckling load elevated when the shape parameter was high. Parallelly, the same result was caused by the damping term. The sensitive asymmetrical changes showed complex orbits in the phase space, and the critical load level was also becoming lowly. In addition, as the value of damping constant was high, the level of critical load also increases. In particular, the larger the damping constant, the faster it converges to the equilibrium point, and the occurrence of snapping was suppressed.

A stadium roof that uses the pin-jointed spatial truss system has to be designed by taking into account the unstable phenomenon due to the geometrical non-linearity of the long span. This phenomenon is mainly studied in the single-free-node model (SFN) or double-free-node model (DFN). Unlike the simple SFN model, the more complex DFN model has a higher order of characteristic equations, making analysis of the system’s stability complicated. However, various symmetric conditions can allow limited analysis of these problems. Thus, this research looks at the stability of the DFN model which is assumed to be symmetric in shape, and its load and equilibrium state. Its governing system is expressed by nonlinear differential equations to show the double Duffing effect. To investigate the dynamic behavior and characteristics, we normalize the system of the model in terms of space and time. The equilibrium points of the system unloaded or symmetrically loaded are calculated exactly. Furthermore, the stability of these points via the roots of the characteristic equation of a Jacobian matrix are classified.

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.

대공간 구조는 형태저항구조로서, 기둥-보로 구성되는 일반적인 건축골조구조가 설계외력에 대해 휨 및 전단으로 저항되는 것에 반해, 구조물의 내부에 기둥이 없는 공간을 내포하는 대공간 구조는 축력 및 면내 단면력에 의해 저항되는 경우가 대부분이다. 이러한 특성상 공간구조에는 일반적으로 장스팬이 사용되는 경우가 많으며, 그 결과 일반적인 골조와는 달리, 부재에 발생하는 변형도가 작은 경우에도 큰 변형이 발생하는, 즉 대변형 혹은 유한변형을 동반하게 된다. 일반적으로 수치해석에 있어 비선형 해석이란 기하학적 비선형 및 재료적 비선형, 또는 이 두 가지를 동시에 고려한 복합 비선형 해석을 들 수가 있다. 본 논문에서는 유한요소법으로 기하학적 비선형을 고려한 비선형 평형방정식을 적용하고, 부재의 응력-변형률 관계를 이용하여 재료적 비선형성도 함께 고려하였다. 사용된 수치해석 기법은 불안정 경로의 해를 찾아갈 수 있는 호장법을 적용하여 하중-변위 곡선을 추적하였다. 또한, 해석 결과는 범용 유한요소 프로그램인 ABAQUS를 이용하여 비교 검토하였다. 본 연구의 수치 해석결과 제시한 평면 및 공간 트러스의 비탄성 비선형 거동을 정확하고 효율적으로 예측 가능한 것으로 나타났다.

The objective of this study is the development of size discrete optimum design algorithm which is based on the GAs(genetic algorithms). The algorithm can perform size discrete optimum designs of space trusses. The developed algorithm was implemented in a computer program. For the optimum design, the objective function is the weight of space trusses and the constraints are limite state design codes(1998) and displacements. The basic search method for the optimum design is the GAs. The algorithm is known to be very efficient for the discrete optimization. This study solves the problem by introducing the GAs. The GAs consists of genetic process and evolutionary process. The genetic process selects the next design points based on the survivability of the current design points. The evolutionary process evaluates the survivability of the design points selected from the genetic process. In the genetic process of the simple GAs, there are three basic operators: reproduction, cross-over, and mutation operators. The efficiency and validity of the developed discrete optimum design algorithm was verified by applying GAs to optimum design examples.

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.

The objective of this study is to analyse the dynamic stable and unstable behaviours of a space truss using an accurate solution obtained by the high-order Taylor method. Because numerical solutions can lead to incorrect analyses in the case of a space truss model due to the being parameters large, we analyse the solution’s behaviour using essentially an analytical solution obtained by the multi-step high-order Taylor method. In detail, the dynamic instability and buckling characteristics of the SDOF model under step, sinusoidal and beating excitations are investigated.
