This paper studied a new shape unit model based on Gibson and Ashby's theory. As a result of theoretical research, the relative density equation is correlated with relative elasticity, and through this study, the theoretical relationship between the relative elasticity equation was defined. The relative elasticity equation was defined based on the model for which the analysis was performed. According to the analysis results, the diameter of the model was set to 3 mm, and the maximum stress values were confirmed by reflecting the same boundary conditions. The maximum stress for each model is 5668.9MPa for Type 1, 5136.7MPa for Type 2, 5642MPa for Type 3, and 6032.9MPa for Type 4 when the truss diameter is 3mm. The relative elasticity equation was defined based on this condition. In the future, compression analysis will have to be performed in the same way, reflecting the diameter of the truss at 5 mm and 7 mm, to find and define the coefficients of the relative elasticity equation, and verification through experiments will have to be carried out based on the theoretical equation. In addition, in order to be applied in each field, proof through prototype production and installation must be carried out.

본 논문에서는 인장 좌굴 현상을 소개하고 이를 이용한 음의 포아송 효과를 가지는 구조물에 대한 분석을 다룬다. 일반적으로 널리 알려진 좌굴은 압축하중 하에서의 안정성 문제임에 반하여, 인장 좌굴은 인장에 의해 국소적으로 압축력이 생겨 발생하는 좌굴이다. 고전적인 좌굴에 비하여 비교적 최근의 연구이기 때문에 상대적으로 잘 알려지지 않았다. 이에 인장 좌굴 현상을 에너지 관점에서 고 찰하고, 해석을 위하여 비틀림 스프링을 가지는 비선형 트러스 유한요소의 정식화를 수행하였다. 비선형해석을 통해 후좌굴 거동을 분석하고 비틀림 스프링이 주요 인자임을 확인하였다. 이러한 후좌굴 거동은 음의 포아송 비를 가지는 구조물에 적용할 수 있으며, 기 계적 스위치 등의 장치에 적용할 가능성을 보였다. 얻어진 결과들의 정확성 확인을 위하여 해석해와 상용 유한요소해석 결과들과 비 교하여, 개발된 유한요소 모델이 기초 설계에 유용함을 보였다.

A typical low and medium-sized neighborhood living facility in reinforced concrete building secures a high floor and pursues an efficient module plan(long span). Accordingly, research on the development of new hybrid beams that can innovatively reduce labor costs such as on-site installation and assembly while securing strength and rigidity is ongoing. In order to verify the structural performance of the U-flanged truss composite beam with newly developed shape, Experiments with various variables are required. Based on the results, this study is to evaluate the strength of U-flanged truss hybrid beam through the flexural strength of the Korea Design Code and experimental values. It was evaluated that nominal flexural strength was 110% to 135% higher than the experimental value.

This paper describes a novel zero-stress member selecting method for sizing optimization of truss structures. When a sizing optimization method with static constraints is implemented, the member stresses are affected sensitively with changing the variables. However, because some truss members are unaffected by specific loading cases, zero-stress states are experienced by the elements. The zero-stress members could affect the computational cost and time of sizing optimization processes. Feature selection approaches can be then used to eliminate the zero-stress member from the whole variables prior to the process of optimization. Several numerical truss examples are tested using the proposed methods.

본 논문에서는 조립트러스 매립형 합성보의 실험과 해석을 통하여 휨 및 전단의 구조적 거동을 분석한다. 본 합성보는 복부가 개방된 트러스를 콘크리트 속에 매입함으로써 콘크리트와의 맞물림작용 및 일체성이 뛰어남으로 휨재로서 완전합성 거동을 한다. 본 합성보에서는 콘크리트 단면의 복부를 가로지르는 외곽 2열의 강재 복재가 상, 하 접합부로 긴결되어 있어서 철근콘크리트 보의 스터럽(Stirrup)과 같은 전단보강재의 역할을 한다. 그러나 본 합성보에서는 복재 접합부의 강도에 따라서 전 단보강재인 경사재 및 수직재의 전단내력이 변화되므로 이에 맞는 구조적 안전성이 확보된 새로운 전단강도식을 제안한다. 실험 및 해석결과, 조립트러스 매립형 합성보의 모든 실험체는 휨강도에 대하여 강재앵커가 있는 완전합성보로 평가되며, 제안된 전단강도식은 구조적 안전성이 충분히 확보된 것으로 평가된다.

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 details of delayed buckling of lattice members were developed through reinforcement of the end section, in order to improve structural capacity of U-flanged Truss Steel Beam. To verify the effects of these details, the simple beam experiment was conducted. The maximum capacity of all the specimens were determined by the buckling of the lattice. The vertical reinforced details of the ends with steel plates, rather than the details reinforced with steel bars, are confirmed to be a valid method for enhancing the structural capacity of the U-flanged Truss beam. In addition, U-flanged Truss Steel Beam with reinforced endings with steel plates can exhibit sufficient capacity of the lattice buckling by the formulae according to Korean Building Code (KBC, 2016) and Eurocode 3.

In this study, we propose a new truss deckplate system, which does not require temporary floor supports during construction, with ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) infilled top bars. The increased stiffness and strength of the proposed system were well retained as compared to those of the existing truss deckplate systems, thereby resulting in the reduction of maximum deflection at the span center. Four-point bending tests were performed on five specimens with a net span of 4.6 m to evaluate the structural performance of proposed system in the construction stage. In addition, the load-deflection curve was plotted for each specimen, and the effects of test parameters were analyzed. Further, a rigorous nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis was performed, and its results were compared with the test results. From the results, it was observed that the test specimens of the proposed system exhibited superior performance as compared to those of the existing one and also satisfied the serviceability requirement during construction provided by the Korea Building Code 2016.

There has been considerable recent interest in deep learning techniques for structural analysis and design. However, despite newer algorithms and more precise methods have been developed in the field of computer science, the recent effective deep learning techniques have not been applied to the damage detection topics. In this study, we have explored the structural damage detection method of truss structures using the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques. The deep neural networks are used to train knowledge of the patterns in the response of the undamaged and the damaged structures. A 31-bar planar truss are considered to show the capabilities of the deep learning techniques for identifying the single or multiple-structural damage. The frequency responses and the elasticity moduli of individual elements are used as input and output datasets, respectively. In all considered cases, the neural network can assess damage conditions with very good accuracy.

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 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.

The test and analysis results showed that the lightweight soundproof tunnel ensures the structural safety against wind loads, snow loads and load combinations. As a result, the full-size test and analysis results m

The steel truss is designed in order not to disturb bricks-building and the shape of structure was verified by bending test. According to experiments result, camber was applied to steel structure that enabled construction work to be improved and was proved effective for the prevention of accidents by cement bricks-building load test.

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.
