본 고에서는 철골 구조물에 있어서 일어나고 있는 좌굴에 대해, 현재 외국에서 진행중인 연구의 일부를 소개하였다. 이들의 기본 개념은 좌굴이 일어날 수 있는 압축부재에 있어서 최대내력, 즉 좌굴이 일어나기 이전에 부재를 압축에 대해 항복시킴으로써, 좌굴을 방지하려는 연구의 일종으로서, 부재의 강도면에 있어서는 큰 손실이 뒤따르게 된다. 하지만, 트러스 등의 구조물에 있어서 압축보다 인장에 대해서 사전에 항복하도록 설계(선인장 항복설계)가 이루어진 경우일지라도, 인장항복만으로 붕괴기구가 형성된다. 또한, 일반적으로 트러스를 제작함에 있어서 시공상의 오차가 발생할 가능성이 상존하고 있으며, 부정확하게 시공된 구조물에 있어서는 설계시 상정된 파괴기구와는 다른 형태의 파괴기구가 형성될 가능성이 있다. 따라서, 안정항복하여 큰 소성변형이 필요한 경우에는 상기의 방법이 유효하다고 사료된다. 한편 본 고에서 예로 다루고 있는 2중 강관구조에 있어서는, 외관과 내관의 단면적비가 약 1:1.5 정도이며, 보강재로 사용되는 내관을 아무리 저급의 제품을 사용한다해도 불경제적이 될 가능성이 크다. 따라서 금후, 내관의 단면 결정을 위한 많은 연구가 이루어져야 한다고 생각한다.

The charateristics of stabilization for stabilized truss unit-structures with cable and truss are investigated in this paper. This unit system is composed of a central post and eight cables, and is connected by hinge joints, and stabilized by self-equilibrated stress field. As this unit structure itself is a statically closed and stabilized system individually, it can be employed to assemble structures with various configurations. In this study, for stabilization of truss structures stabilized by cable tension, the structural concept of unit structures, the range of various geometrical parameters and the relationship of governing parameters about unit systems are explained.

This study shows details of a specific space truss frame structure devised to carry out maintenance and repair temporary works in tunnels. The purpose of this study is to verify structural safety and function of the innovative truss structure through an analysis tool, i.e.. ABAQUS, which is a suite of software application for finite element analysis and computer aided engineering. And then optimized size, i.e., thickness and diameter of truss members is evaluated in practice. In this study, construction methods in the temporary works are additionally represented by using the new space truss frame structure.

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.

This study presents a practice of a scientific methodology, i.e., technology tree to describe hierarchies of functions and technologies of research projects. In this study functional developments of a well-known steel space frame truss are dealt with for an application of the technology tree process to execute the maintenance of road tunnels without blocking vehicles. It is verified that established results of technology tree process can be linked to a proof process of revealed functions and component technologies such as reference works and structural analyses. In the future the technology tree methodology can be extendedly used for an effective tool setting up research plans and developing integrated technologies of a specific item such as a steel structure.

Recently, the space truss has been attracted by many designers because of their ability to support significant loads with a minimum material. And it is relatively flexible to design the configuration of structures. This paper presents a volume optimization for the space truss on the basis of result evaluated from nonlinear analysis. The optimization of the truss is done by nonlinear optimum GINO(General Interactive Nonlinear Optimizer) program. The objective function considered is the volume of the steel bars. The constraints for optimum design are the design limits, such as the axial force strength, maximum slenderness, minimum thickness, allowable deflection and ratio of the external diameter to thickness of the circular tube bars.

Rescaled Simulated Annealing(RSA) has been devised for improving the disadvantage of Simulated Annealing(SA) which requires tremendous amount of computation time. RSA and SA have been for optimization of truss and satellite structures and for comparison of results from two algorithms. Ten bar truss structure which has continuous design variables are optimized.. As a practical application, a satellite structure is optimized by the two algorithms. Weights of satellite upper platform and propulsion module are minimized. MSC/NASTRAN is used for the static and dynamic analysis. The optimization results of the RSA are compared with results of the classical SA. The numbers of optimization iterations could be effectively reduced by the RSA.

This study purposed to investigate the optimal outrigger location in tall building with cap truss after a structural schematic design of 80 stories building was performed by using MIDAS-Gen. In this paper, the main parameters of structural analysis were the outrigger location and stiffness of main structural elements (outrigger, exterior column, shear wall etc). In order to search the optimal outrigger position in high-rise building with cap truss, we analysed and examined the lateral displacement of top floor which is one of the very important considering factors of tall building structural design. The paper results indicated that the outrigger location and the stiffness of main structural elements such as outrigger, exterior column and shear wall had an effect on the optimal outrigger location. And it is verified that the study results provided the basic engineering data for fixing the most optimal outrigger location for minimizing the lateral displacement of tall building.

This paper applies an optimization algorithm for the elastic truss structures. The acceleration technique utilized in this study is the geometric programming method developed by the Operation Research or the applied methematics. The applicability and the efficiency of the algorithm applied in this study are tested for four different trusses. Test results show that the optimum solutions are obtained after only one or seven iterations which is very small compared with other techniques and no oscillation is needed for the convergency. Test rusults also show that the Geometric Programming Method is also effective algorithm for the convergency of the Optimum Solution in case of only being compared with the number of iteration.
