본 논문에서는 초고층 전단벽-아웃리거 시스템에 대해, 기존의 근사해석법과 유전알고리즘을 이용하여, 물량최적설계 기반의 구성요소 단면 및 아웃리거 최적위치 결정에 관해 연구를 진행하였다. 아웃리거 시스템의 최적성은 아웃리거의 위치와 아웃리거 시스템을 구성하는 전단벽-아웃리거, 외곽기둥의 단면 성능의 복잡한 관계에 의해 역학적으로 결정된다. 하지만 기존의 아웃리거 시스템의 최적화 연구는 대부분 전단벽과 아웃리거, 외곽기둥의 단면은 고정된 상태에서, 아웃리거의 위치만 설계변수로 하여 아웃리거의 최적위치를 찾는 연구에 국한되어 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 G.A.를 이용하여, 아웃리거 설치위치뿐만 아니라 전단벽과 아웃리거, 외곽기둥의 단면까지 설계변수로 하여 물량최적설계 조건을 만족시키는 아웃리거시스템의 최적설계 연구를 진행하였다. 또한 반복 계산의 시간을 줄이기 위해 기존의 근사해석법을 사용하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 초고층 구조물의 초기 설계 시에 구성요소의 단면 및 아웃리거 설치 층의 선정에 적극 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

GGBFS(Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag)-replacement is very effective for improving resistance to chloride attack and this can induce a long service life for RC(Reinforced Concrete) structures exposed to chlorides. In the work, the design parameters such as cover depth, surface chloride content, critical chloride content, and replacement ratio of GGBFS are considered, and optimum replacement ratio of GGBFS are derived with intended service life. The changes of surface chloride content and cover depth show 3.16~3.38 and 3.02~3.34 times of service life variation, which are most influencing parameters. Critical chloride content shows 1.53~1.57 times of service life variation regardless of w/b(Water to Binder) ratios. In the case of surface chloride content $18.0kg/m^3$, the most severe condition, cover depth over 70 mm and GGBFS replacement ratio over 42% are required with concrete containing w/b ratio under 0.42 for 100 years of intended service life. The condition of $13.0kg/m^3$, GGBFS replacement over 35% is required. For reasonable durability design, quantitative exterior condition and critical chloride content should be determined, and the criteria in Domestic Specification is evaluated to be conservative.

In this study, micro genetic algorithm is used to find an optimum cross section of grid structures with pretension. Design optimization of trusses consists of arriving at optimum sizes of cross-section and prestressing force parameters, when weight of the truss is minimum, satisfying a set of specified constraints. The present approach is verified by ten-bar truss example showing good agreements with previous results. Features of the proposed method, which help in modeling and application to optimal design of pretensioned truss structures, are demonstrated by solving a problem of seventy two bar truss structures. The minimum weight design of seventy two bar truss is performed for various magnitudes of pretension and optimal prestressing forces are also found for various configurations of pretensioned truss structures.

An under-tension system is frequently employed for large-span structures to reduce the deflection and member size. In this study, a microgenetic algorithm was used to find the optimum cross-section of truss structures with an undertension cable under transverse loading. Maximum deflection, allowable stress, and buckling were considered constraints. The proposed approach was verified using a 10-bar truss sample that shows good agreement with the previous results. In the numerical results, minimum-weight design of the under-tension structure was performed for various magnitudes of pretension.

The stiffness design method is presented as a drift control model of steel structures and applied to design of space trusses subjected to stress and displacement constraints. The stiffness design method is developed by integrating the resizing techniques for an effective drift control algorithm with the strength design process according to the commonly used design specifications such as allowable stress design. In the resizing technique the amount of material to be modified depends on the member displacement participation factors and is determined by an optimization technique. Using the stiffness design method, a structural design model for steel structures is proposed and applied to two verifying examples. As demonstrated in the examples, the displacement of the structures can be effectively controlled without expensive computational cost.

In order to reduce seismic responses of a structure, additional dampers and vibration control devices are generally considered. Usually, control performance of additional devices are investigated for optimal design without variation of characteristics of a structure. In this study, multi-objective integrated optimization of structure-smart control device is conducted and possibility of reduction of structural resources of a building structure with smart top-story isolation system has been investigated. To this end, 20-story example building structure was selected and an MR damper and low damping elastomeric bearings were used to compose a smart base isolation system. Artificial earthquakes generated based on design spectrum of low-to-moderate seismicity regions are used for structural analyses. Based on numerical simulation results, it has been shown that a smart top-story isolation system can effectively reduce both structural responses and isolation story drifts of the building structure in low-to-moderate seismicity regions. The integrated optimal design method proposed in this study can provide various optimal designs that presents good control performance by appropriately reducing the amount of structural material and damping device.

Many researchers have studied on the optimal seismic design with the development of the computer. So far the application structure of most researches on the optimal seismic design was almost the moment resisting frame. Because the braced frames are the representative lateral load resisting system with the moment resisting frames, it is estimated that the effect on the practice will be great if it can is provided a design guideline through the development of optimal seismic design model for the braced frames. The purpose of this study is to propose the optimal seismic design model for the inverted V-type special concentrically braced frames considering the buckling of braces. The objective functions of this are to minimize the structural weight and maximize the total dissipated energy of the structure and the constraints of this are the strength conditions for the column, beam, brace and inter-story drifts condition. To verify the proposed model, it is applied to 2D steel concentrically braced frames of 3-story and 9-story.

As the bearing wall structure, which has been widely applied to domestic apartment buildings since the 1980s, cause many problems during remodeling of buildings, the government encourages constructors to adopt flat plate or rahmen structure through legal incentives. In line with such a trend, the green frame, an eco-friendly rahmen structure that has removed the shortcomings of previous structures, was developed to enhance structural safety, constructability, and eco-friendliness. The construction of green frame can reduce the labor cost and facilitate the composition of iron bars to reduce rebar loss through calculating the quality and establishing the bar bending schedule automatically on the precast concrete member data collected over the design phase. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop the algorithm to automate the calculation of iron bar volume for the green frame designed on composite precast concrete members. Automated algorithm to calculate concrete structural design information and design information. Practices through the application site should prove efficacy. The database established by the developed algorithm will automate the establishment of iron bar processing map and bar cutting list and the calculation of optimal composition and order volume to minimize the rebar loss. This will also reduce the expenses on management staff and overall construction cost through the minimization of rebar loss.

In line with the "mandatory seismic design of fire protection facilities," development of design automation software is indispensable for improving the reliability and efficiency of seismic design. The seismic design automation software developed in this study is an automated S/W for seismic design of fire-fighting facilities, and functions such as automatic arrangement of anti-shake braces according to Korea National Fire Agency's Seismic Design Standards for fire-fighting facilities, output of seismic bracing calculation bills and automatic quantities counting. In addition, the seismic design automation software not only reduces the work speed by three times compared to the manual design of the designer, but also improves the reliability of the design by reducing the human error related to the design quantity such as the brace. In addition, in the seismic design method of fire protection facilities that have been approached conservatively, it was possible to perform the optimal seismic design by using computer algorithms for at least in the use of braces.
