This study presents a structural design optimizing sizes of high-rise steel plane truss members by maximizing stiffness subjected to given volume constraints. The sizing optimum design is evaluated by using a well-known optimality criteria (OC) of gradient-based optimization methods. In typical size optimization methods, truss structures are optimized with respect to minimum weight with constraints on the value of some displacement and on the member stresses. The proposed method is an inversed size optimization process in comparisons with the typical size optimization methods since it maximizes stiffness associated with stresses or displacements subjected to volume constraints related to weight. The inversed approach is another alternative to classical size optimization methods in order to optimize members' sizes in truss structures. Numerical applications of a round shape steel pipe truss structure are studied to verify that the proposed maximum stiffness-based size optimization design is suitable for optimally developing truss members's sizes.

Various dimensions of watershed structural/non-structural planning can be applied in comprehensive flood mitigation plan in a river basin. Especially structural counterplans have very broad and diverse nature as flood control facilities. It is not easy to find the optimum alternative to maximize the ability of a basin to reduce flood risk using a combination of structural counterplans. In addition, there is no standard for evaluating the performance of structural counterplans and for selecting optimal combination of them. This study focused on how to select the best alternative of a comprehensive watershed structural plan from various flood defense alternative candidates. By introducing an analytic hierarchy process, we would like to show how we decide the best alternative using standard worksheets developed in this study for economics and policy evaluation, and Expert Choice 11.5, which calculates weights for evaluation items. Based on the results from this study, we would like to suggest the best practice of a standardized watershed plan for flood protection.

치수대책이 취약한 중 소규모 하천 상류유역에 갑작스런 홍수가 발생될 경우 홍수파뿐만 아니라 토석류에 의한 2차적인 피해도 발생하고 있고 이러한 홍수피해를 방지하기 위한 구조적 대책으로 홍수저류지를 도입하였다. 치수대책이 취약한 중 소규모 하천 상류유역에서 홍수저류지의 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 적용지역에 대한 홍수저류지의 적절한 배치가 매우 중요하다. 먼저, 대상유역의 주요보호대상 지점 즉, 목표지점(Taget Point)을 결정하고 지형 및 지질, 산사태 위험도, 수몰현황, 지역경제 등을 고려하여 홍수저류지 설치 후보지를 다수 선정하였다. 그리고 강우 및 홍수분석, 저수지 홍수추적 등을 실시하여 목표지점을 보호할 수 있도록 홍수저류지간의 조합을 통해 최적 위치 및 개소수를 결정하였고 대상하천의 계획홍수량 즉, 하도분담량 이상의 호우에 대하여 분담할 수 있도록 홍수저류지 설치 개소수를 제한하였다. 그리고 여기서 결정한 홍수 저류지가 목표지점뿐만 아니라 대상 유역의 홍수저감에 얼마나 기여를 할 수 있는지 유역전체를 대상으로 수문학적으로 검토하였다. 홍수저류지는 현재 국가의 치수대책의 일환인 면중심의 유역치수계획, 선택적 방어, 홍수량할당제, 예방위주의 치수대책 등과 함께 하고 있는 유역분담형 치수 방안으로서 유역상류의 중소하천에 1차적인 홍수방어의 훌륭한 대안이 될 수 있다.

The integrated basin-wide flood mitigation planning has a numerous individual proposals with different characteristics. So, it makes difficult to develop the optimal alternative that combines such elements. To develop the optimal alternative, it's necessary not only to assess the flood damage but also to define a tolerable degree of damage. Such a definition is made in a way, dubbed the 'social consensus' in a broad sense; but initially, it requires the analysis of the economic efficiency within a scope, which is technically achievable. This study aims to propose the alternatives development method so that the combination of the individual proposals could be economically efficient. To this end, this study defined the flood mitigation projects as the economic production activities carried out by inputs and outputs, and proposed the optimal project size as the principle of developing alternatives. This study may have the worth in improving the alternatives development method by considering the optimal project scale from the economic viewpoint while the existing method depending on engineering aspect. Such approach is expected to correspond to the current government's policy that avoids the passive flood mitigation focused on channel-wide planning but pursues the basin-wide flood mitigation planning focusing on damaged area, thereby provide efficient tools to come up with the solution.

In this study, we presented a novel size optimization framework to control the linear buckling temperature and several buckling modes of plates, by optimizing thickness values of composite structures for practical engineering applications. Predicting the buckling temperature and mode shape of structures is a vital research topic in engineering to achieve structural stability. However, optimizing designs of engineering structures through engineering intuition is challenging. To address this limitation, we proposed a method that combines finite element simulation and size optimization. Based on the idea that the structural buckling temperature and mode shape of a plate are affected by the thickness of the structure, the thickness values of the nodes of the target structure were set as the design variables in this optimization method; and the buckling temperature values, and buckling mode shapes were set as the objective functions. This size optimization method enabled the determination of optimal thickness distributions, to induce the desired buckling temperature values and mode shapes. The validity of the proposed method was verified in terms of their buckling temperature values and buckling mode shapes, using several numerical examples of rectangular composite structures.

The purpose of this paper was to develop size & shape optimization programming algorithm of plane trusses. The optimum techniques applied in this study were extended penalty method of Sequential Unconstrained Minimization Techniques(SUMT) and direct search method with multi-variables proposed by Hooke & Jeeves. Upper mentioned two methods were used iteratively at each level of size and shape optimization routines. The design variables of size optimization were circular steel tube(structural member) diameter and thickness, those of shape optimization were joint coordinates, and the objective function was represented as total weight of truss. During the optimum design, two level procedures of size and shape optimization were interacted iteratively until the final optimum values were attained. At the previous studies about shape optimization of truss, the member sectional areas and coordinates were applied as design variables. So that they could not apply the buckling effect of compression member. In this paper, actual sizes of member and nodal coordinates are used as design variables to consider the buckling effect of compression member properly.

농업용 저수지는 농촌유역의 홍수조절에 핵심적인 역할을 하지만 기본적인 기능은 이수 기능이기 때문에 농업용수 수량을 충분하게 확보하면서 동시에 홍수에도 대비할 수 있도록 저수지를 적절히 운영하는 것이 중요하다. 이에 농업용 저수지마다 홍수기 제한수위를 설정하여 홍수조절용량과 농업용수를 적절하게 확보하도록 하고 있으나, 현재 홍수기 제한수위는 저수지별 특성을 고려하지 않고 70% 정도의 저수율 기준이 일괄적으로 적용된 경우가 대부분이며 시기별 농업용수공급 특성을 고려하지 못한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 농업용 저수지의 이수안전도 및 치수안전도를 이용하여 이·치수 기능을 모두 고려한 홍수기 제한수위 설정 방안을 제시하였다. 홍수기 제한수위는 초기 (6/21~7/20), 중기 (7/21~8/20), 후기 (8/21~9/20)에 대해 각각 설정하였고, 오봉저수지와 묘곡저수지에 대해 1973~2022년의 기상자료를 이용하여 이·치수를 모의하였다. 관개기 최저저수량 및 이듬해 4월의 저수량을 기준으로 이수안전도를 산정하고, 재현기간 100년/200년/500년 홍수에 대해 저수지 운영을 모의하여 최고저수량을 기준으로 치수안전도를 산정하였다. 초기/중기/후기 제한수위 조합에 대한 이수안전도 및 치수안전도 값을 좌표공간에 점으로 도시하고 Pareto front를 도시하여 최적의 제한수위 범위를 도출하였다. 분석 결과, 오봉저수지의 이수안전도는 후기 제한수위에 의해 대부분 결정되며, 초기/중기 제한수위는 큰 영향을 주지 못하는 것으로 나타났다. 반면 묘곡저수지의 이수안전도는 초기 제한수위에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 그 영향이 이듬해까지 이어지는 것으로 나타났다. 이를 토대로 최적의 제한수위를 도출한 결과, 오봉저수지의 경우 초기 65%, 중기 65~80%, 후기 95% (유효저수량에 대한 비율)로 시기별 수문 운영이 필요한 것으로 나타났고, 묘곡저수지의 경우 초기 100%, 중기 95%, 후기 65~80%로 취수 구조물 또는 비상수문 설치를 통한 방류가 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 제시한 방법을 통해 저수지별 특성을 고려하여 홍수기 제한수위를 설정함으로써 효율적인 저수지 운영이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
