A timber lattice roof, which has around 30m span, was constructed. In order to figure out the realistic buckling load level, the structural analysis of this roof structure was performed especially by stiffness of connection with various asymmetric snow load. Due to the characteristics of application of snow load, the load combinations of snow should be considered not only global area but also local part so that the critical buckling load could be observed as easy as possible. Geometrical imperfection was simulated to consider inaccurate shape of structure. And then nonlinear analysis were performed. Finally, this paper could investigate that the asymmetric snow load with the lower level stiffness of connection decreased the level of buckling load significantly.

Buckling Restrained Braces can not only express the strength considered at the time of design, but also reduce the seismic load by energy dissipation according to the plastic behavior after yield deformation of the steel core. The physical characteristics and damping effect may be different according to the buckling prevention method of the steel core by the lateral restraint element. Accordingly, in this study, To compare hysteresis characteristics, Specimen(BRB-C) filled with mortar, specimen(BRB-R) combined with a buckling restraint ring and Specimen(BRB-EP) filled with engineering plastics was fabricated, and a cyclic loading test was performed. As a result of the cyclic loading test, the maximum compressive strength, cumulative energy dissipation and ductility of each test specimen was similar. But in case of the cumulative energy dissipation and ductility, BRB-C filled with the mortar specimen showed the lowest. This is considered to be because the gap between the steel core and the reinforcing material for plastic deformation was not uniformly formed by pouring mortar around the core part.

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.

This paper conducted a comparative analysis of the shear buckling characteristics of trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugated steel plates considering of their initial imperfection. Initial imperfection refers to the state where the shape of the corrugated plate is initially not perfect. As such, an initially imperfect shape was assumed using the eigen buckling mode. To calculate the buckling stress of corrugated steel plates, the linear buckling analysis used a boundary condition which was applied to the plate buckling analysis. For the comparison of trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugation, the shape parameters were assumed using the case where the length and slope of each corrugation were the same, and the initial imperfection was considered to be from 0.1% to 5% based on the length of the steel plate. Here, for the buckling analysis, ANSYS, a commercial FEA program, was used. From the results of buckling analysis, the effect of overall initial imperfection showed that the larger the initial imperfection, the lower the buckling stress. However, in the very thin model, interaction or local buckling was dominant in the perfect shape, and in this case, the buckling stress did not decrease. Besides, the sinusoidal model showed higher buckling stress than the trapezoidal one, and the two corrugation shapes decreased in a similar way.

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.

대공간 단층래티스 돔의 골조프레임 재질로는 알루미늄, 목재, 그리고 강재 등이 사용된다. 소규모 돔에서는 알루미 늄, 목재 등이 사용되는 사례도 많이 있지만, 300m 이상의 대공간 돔에서는 강재를 주로 사용하며, 강재의 단면 형상은 강관 또는 H형강 등이 유리하다. H형강은 기성재가 시중에 판매되고 있어 다양한 종류를 선택할 수 있으며, 지붕 마감 공사 시 시공 성이 우수하다. 본 연구의 목적은 H형강 단면을 사용한 스팬 300m 단층래티스 돔의 좌굴특성을 연구하는 것이다.

As the national income grows, there is a growing demand for buildings that require long span structures such as exhibition facilities, sports facilities, special industrial facilities, and aerospace facilities. Single-layer latticed dome is one of representative llong span structures. But single layer latticed domes are apt to occur the unstable phenomena that are called “buckling” because of the lack of strength of members and instability of structures, etc. In the previous study, the structural stability of a single-layer lattice dome was roughly grasped by a frame structural system using a ready-made steel when a self-weight and a snow load were applied to a single-layer latticed dome having a span of 300 m and a height of 75 m. However, a systematic study of a 300m single layer lattice dome with various rise-span ratios was not performed. Therefore, it is necessary to study various conditions of this structure because the researchers do not have much research data to apply to actual design. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to verify the buckling characteristics of span 300M single-layer latticed dome with rise-span ratio

Then, AISC design equations and characteristics of Elastic flange local buckling of I-girder were evaluated.

The construction of vinyl greenhouses are increasing because of economic feasibility, construction period, and construction regulations. However, the vinyl greenhouses are apt to collapse by snow load since they have a small member as a temporary structure. The 3 types of buckling such as global, member and nodal buckling could be occurred to arched structures according to characteristics of cross section. To examine the member buckling, the precision of analysis need to be enhanced. In that case, we can examine the characteristics of the those buckling. The purposes of this study are to verify buckling characteristics of structures using the method of high precision analysis with a center node of member. The results of high precision analysis bring member buckling, and in the analysis method having the center node of member, the value of strength is getting lower than a previous study.

Finally, this paper could investigate that the local snow load with geometrical imperfection decreased the level of buckling load significantly.

This study analyzes buckling in the lower segment of a tubular steel shell that exhibits the characteristics of a 3MW wind tower with opening and reinforcement. Analytical method using parametric equations based on Eurocode 3 - Design of Steel Structures and numerical method of finite element are used to analyze the critical meridional buckling stress. ABAQUS, a finite element program, is used for the numerical method analysis. Four different cases of tubular steel tower is modeled: without door opening and without reinforcement; with door opening and without reinforcement; without door opening and with reinforcement; and with door opening and with reinforcement. Using the ABAQUS, a linear buckling analysis is done for all cases to recognize five of its buckling mode shapes and its corresponding eigenvalues. Mode shapes from the previous analysis are considered in performing the non-linear analysis using Static Riks. Buckling capacity and its trends in the localized area near the opening is investigated, tabulated and shown in illustrative charts. Moreover, comparison is made between the parametric and finite element analyses.

The curved bridges shows very complicate behaviors compare to straight girders due to its initial curvature. Usually, the shear strength is investigated due to the aspect ratio(transverse stiffeners spacing/height of girder) and many researches have been conducted for the web shear strength for I-shaped curved girders with high aspect ratios(larger than 3). In this study, numerical studies are carried out and the results are compared with the current design practices. By the analyses, the maximum aspect ratio of a transversely stiffened web panel are suggested to revisits the validity of a limited imposed by Basler.

Compare to straight girders, horizontally curved girder shows complicate behaviors because the bending moments and torsional moments are always acting simultaneously. Because of non-uniform torsion, one edge of compression flange is yielded faster than the other edge due to combined vertical and lateral moments. Hence, the strength of cross section need to be investigated with the effect of initial curvature. The design specifications, however, does not consider the curvature effect. In this study, as a basic research, the parametric studies are performed to understand the flange local buckling behaviors of horizontally curved girders.

The circular hollow section is usually used for member of main frame to carry the external load in single layer lattice dome. But, the H-shaped section may be used for member of main frame since it is convenient for attaching roof panels. Single layer lattice domes have various buckling characteristics, such as the overall buckling, the member buckling, and nodal buckling. The purpose of this study is to compare buckling characteristics of single-layer lattice domes in which the H-shaped steel section as the existing domestically-produced structural steel is used as main frames to those of domes in which a circular hollow section is used as main frames.

This study investigates the elastic behavior characteristics of GRP pipes reinforced with trapezoidal ribs instead of rectangular ribs. Han(2006) proposed GRP pipe reinforced with rectangular ribs in 2006, to promote buckling strength of the pipe. But it is more difficult to reinforce pipe with rectangular ribs than external corrugated ribs, because of pipe manufacturing process referred to as filament winding. Therefore, This study investigated the elastic behavior characteristics of the GRP pipe reinforced with trapezoidal ribs for simplifying analysis approach of external corrugated ribs.

단층 래티스 돔과 같은 스페이스 프레임 구조물은 대공간을 확보하기 위하여 강접합으로 설계함으로써 경제성과 심미성 등의 장점을 확보할 수 있다. 그러나 실제 구조물의 접합상태는 완전한 강접합도, 완전한 핀접합도 아닌 접합부 상세에 따라 중간적인 특성을 나타내는 반강접합이 일반적이다. 본 연구에서는 저자 등에 의해 제안된 Step-Up Erection 공법을 적용하여 단층 라멜라 돔의 접합부 강성에 따른 시공 중의 좌굴 특성을 해석적으로 규명하였다. 얻어진 결과는 시공 Step이 증가할수록 그리고 접합부 휨강성이 핀접합에 가까울수록 좌굴내력은 감소하였으며, 좌굴모드는 시공 Step이 증가할수록, 접합부 휨강성이 강접합에 가까울수록 돔의 정점 부근에서 뜀좌굴 현상에 의한 절점좌굴이 발생하였다. 또한, 시공 Step이 낮을 경우 저면 경계부의 원주방향 부재에서 큰 인장응력 분포를 나타내었으며, 시공 Step이 증가할수록 정점 중앙부에서 큰 압축응력 분포를 보였다. 완성돔을 제외한 시공 중 Step에서는 Step이 증가할수록, 접합부 휨강성이 핀접합에 가까울수록 저면부 경선방향 부재에서 큰 인장응력 분포를 나타내었다.
