This study investigates the optimum structural design of space truss considering global buckling, and is to obtain the minimal weight of the structure. The mathematical programming method is used for optimization of each member by member force. Besides, dynamic programming method is adapted for consideration in snap-through buckling. The mathematical modeling for optimum design of truss members consists of objective function of total weight and constrain equations of allowable tensile (or compressive) stress and slenderness. The tangential stiffness matrix is examined to find the critical point on equilibrium path, and a ratio of the buckling load to design load is reflected in iteration procedures of dynamic programming method to adjust the stiffness of space truss. The star dome is examined to verify the proposed optimum design processor. The numerical results of the model are conversed well and satisfied all constrains. This processor is a relatively simple method to carry out optimum design with consideration in global buckling, and is viable in practice with respect to structural design.

This study is concerned with the optimization of steel jacket subjected to wave forces using the allowable stress design method. The optimization of member section is considered here. Objective function for the minmum cost design is obtained by considering the weight of steel jecket. Constraints are imposed to insure that structural displacement and strength are within allowable values. The nonliner otimization problems are solved by SUMT method including the modified Newton-Raphson method.

Full-depth precast concrete deck bridge has shear pockets for shear connectors that give composite action with steel girder. Strength and shear stiffness of shear connection that is needed to design shear connectors in case that shear pockets are filled with nonshrink mortar are investigated. In case that simple span full-depth precast concrete deck bridge is designed by allowable stress design, distribution of shear connector is suggested and details of precast panel that is placed on the support are proposed. Appropriate distribution of shear connectors in strength design and fatigue design is investigated through parameter analyses using partial interaction theory. The effects of nonshrink mortar strength is studied using the results of experiments and analyses and adequate strength is proposed.

This study investigates reliability based design criteria for the erection members, and proposes practical algorithm which is based on Ellingwood's algorithm for the reliability analysis and the derivation of reliability based criteria. The magnitude of the uncertainties associated with load effects are chosen primarily by considering our level of practice. And thus the uncertainties so obtained are applied for the reliability analysis and the derivation of reliability based design criteria. A target reliability($\beta$$_{o}$=2.0) is selected as an appropriate value by analyzing the reliability levels of our current USD and WSD design standards. Them a set of load and resistance factors corresponding to the target reliability is proposed as a reliability based design provision, and furthermore a set of allowable stresses for steel having same level of reliability with the corresponding LRFD criteria is also prepared for the current WSD design provision. It may be concluded that the proposed LRFD reliability based design provisions and the corresponding allowable stresses give more rational design than the current code for erection membars.s.s.

A helideck is one of the essential structures in offshore platforms for the transportation of goods and operating personnel between land and offshore sites. As such, it should be carefully designed and installed for the safety of the offshore platform. In this study, a structural design optimization method for a lightweight offshore helideck is developed based on a genetic algorithm and an attainable design set concept. A helideck consists of several types of structural members such as plates, girders, stiffeners, trusses, and support elements, and the dimensions of these members are typically pre-defined by manufacturers. Therefore, design sets are defined by collecting the standard section data for these members from the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC), and integer section labels are assigned as design variables in the genetic algorithm. The objective is to minimize the total weight of the offshore helideck while satisfying the maximum allowable stress criterion under various loading conditions including self-weight, wind direction, landing position, and landing condition. In addition, the unity check process is also utilized for additional verification of structural safety against buckling failure of the helideck.

하천시설물 설계, 시공 및 관리에 있어서 바닥전단응력은 매우 중요하다. 예를 들어, 호안 등 시설물의 허용 소류력을 계산하거나, 하천의 유사량을 예측하는 데 있어서 바닥전단응력이 기준으로 쓰인다. 정상 등류의 경우, 수로 내 수체에 작용하는 중력과 수로 바닥 및 측면에 작용하는 마찰력의 평형을 고려함으로써 바닥전단응력을 산정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 식생을 제외한 아크릴수로에서의 전단판의 움직임을 이용한 바닥전단응력 측정장치를 설계, 교정 및 검증을 실시하였다. 이 전단판은 수체와 바닥면에서 발생하는 마찰력에 의해 변위가 발생하고 이 변위를 바닥전단 응력으로 산정하였다. 직접 측정한 바닥전단응력은 기존에 연구된 두 가지 방법과 비교하여 검증하였다. 비교 검증을 위한 실험은 폭 0.3 m, 길이 10 m인 고속수로에서 Froude수 1이상, Reynolds수 20000이상의 사류이면서 난류인 상태로 실험을 진행하였으며 유속은 PIV을 이용하여 측정하였다. 비교 검증을 위한 첫 번째방법은 Reach-avrage공식을 기초로 manning의 평균 유속 공식을 이용한 바닥전단응력을 산정하는 방법으로 일반적으로 간단한 경험식을 이용하여 바닥 전단응력을 산정하는 방법이다, 두 번째는 Reynolds stress를 산정하는 방법으로 PIV를 통해 흐름방향의 연직프로파일의 유속을 측정 한 후 레이놀즈 분해법에 의해 산정된 난류 강도를 측정하여 Reynolds stress를 산정한 후 Shear stress를 산정하는 방법을 사용하였다. 마지막으로 본 연구에서 가로 0.14 m, 세로 0.14 m의 전단판으로 구성된 바닥전단응력 측정장치를 개발하여 실험을 진행하면서 앞에서 언급한 두가지 방법을 측정하는 동시에 장치를 이용하여 바닥전단응력을 직접측정하여 총 3가지 바닥전단응력을 비교하였다.

Recent years, the response characteristics of large space structures have been studied. Then, for the large space structures with large rise-span ratio, it is clarified that the anti-symmetric mode are representatively amplified. That means the static seismic load for general ramen structure is not suitable for the space structure. In this paper, we propose static seismic loads for space structures and its concept. And for the space structures of beam string structures, execute the time history analysis and quasi static analysis and compare the results of them. From the results, we can prove the validity of static seismic load for space structure.

Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD) method is being used increasingly in geotechnical design practice worldwide, and is expected to completely replace the current Allowable Stress Design (ASD) method in the near future. LRFD has advantages over ASD in that it allows the design of superstructures and substructures at a consistent reliable level by quantification of failure probability based on reliability analysis. At present, resistance factors for cast-in-place piles embedded in rocks are determined by AASHTO only for the intact rock conditions. In Korea, however, most of the bedrocks in which piles are embedded are heavily weathered. Thus, this study will try to determine the resistance factors of heavily weathered rocks (so-called intermediate goo-materials). To this aim, reliability analysis was carried out to evaluate the resistance factors of cast-in-place piles embedded in intermediate geo-materials in Korea. Pile load test data of 21 cast-in-place piles of 4 construction sites were used for the analysis. Depending on the method which calculates the pile capacities, the resulting resistance factors ranged between 0.1 and 0.6.
