Achieving sustainable spaces is one of the emerging trends of tall buildings regarding their significant impacts on the cities. Reducing energy consumption and material using is investigated as a widely used approach to achieve more efficient tall buildings. Defining more efficient geometries and form modifications have been adopted for this goal. In this paper the effect of plan shape and diagrid angle on structural efficiency of diagrid tall buildings have been studied. A parametric workbench is applied to generate and analyze models. The goal is to find effective form parameters resulting in more efficient forms. Respectively, all models were generated in Rhino/grasshopper architecturally and analyzed by a finite element plug-in structurally. Based on the results, steeper angles almost cause more displacements and needs to be more stiffened. it can be seen almost more sided models need less weight for the structures and it could lead to more efficient forms.

가압경수로(PWR)에서 배출되는 고준위폐기물을 지하 500m의 화강암 암반의 처분장에 장기간(약 10,000년 동안) 처분하기 위하여 여러 구조적 안전성 평가수행을 통하여 처분용기모델이 개발되었다. 기존에 설계 개발된 가압경수로용 처분용기 모델은 구조적으로 처분용기 내부에 정사각형 단면의 네 개의 고준위폐기물다발이 처분용기 단면의 중심에 대칭되게 나란히 배열된 형태를 취하고 있다. 그러나 이와 같은 배열형태가 최적의 구조인지는 아직 결정할 수 없다. 특히 경량화하는 데에는 여전히 문제가 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하는 방법은 처분용기 단면 중심에 대하여 대칭으로 배열된 네 개의 고준위폐기물다발의 단면형상을 변경시키는 것이다. 단면형상을 변경시키는 방법에는 정사각형 형상을 유지시키면서 단면을 회전시키는 방법과 정사각형 형상을 다른 단면형상으로 변경시키는 두 가지 방법이 있다. 기 수행된 연구를 통하여 정사각형 단면형상을 유지시키면서 단면을 회전시키면 회전각도가 $30{\sim}35^{\circ}$인 배열구조의 처분용기가 나란한 정사각형 배열구조보다 구조적으로 더 안정적이어서 경량화할 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 이 회전한 배열구조의 처분용기가 최적인지는 역시 아직 결정할 수 없다. 왜냐하면 정사각형이 아닌 다른 단면형상의 구조물에 대해서는 아직 구조적으로 더 안정한지가 확인되지 않았기 때문이다. 따라서 처분용기 단면 중심면에 대하여 대칭성을 유지하면서 고준위폐기물다발의 단면형상이 정사각형이 아닌 다른 단면형상의 처분용기구조에 대한 구조해석이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 네 개의 고준위폐기물다발이 처분용기 중심 면에 대하여 대칭적으로 배열되면서 단면형상이 여러 가지로 변화된 가압경수로용 처분용기에 대하여 구조해석을 수행하였다. 구조해석을 수행한 결과 기존의 설계 개발된 처분용기 단면의 중심에 대칭되게 나란히 고준위폐기물다발이 배열된 정사각형 단면의 처분용기보다 다발의 단면형상이 원형인 처분용기가 구조적으로 좀 더 안정성이 있음이 밝혀졌다.

This paper deals with the formulation and development of fracture criteria for high-strength structural members containing surface damage in the form of notches (i.e., blunt defects). The important role of the yield strength of the material and its strain hardening capacity (evaluated by means of the constitutive law or stress-strain curve) is analysed in depth by considering the fracture performance of notched samples taken from high-strength steels with different levels of cold drawing (the most heavily drawn steel being commercial prestressing steel used in prestressed concrete). The final aim of the paper is to establish fracture-based design criteria for structural members made of steels with distinct yield strength and containing very different kinds of notch-shape surface damage.

The structural performance of a shear wall subjected to lateral loads is influenced by many factors, such as sectional shape, aspect ratio, vertical and horizontal reinforcement, lateral confinement and axial compression, etc. This experimental research is focusing to investigate the structural performance of T-shaped walls with different confining reinforcement. Experimental results show that all specimens finally failed by the crushing of the concrete in the compression zone. Although the location and content of the lateral confinement is different, the results are very similar during the negative loading direction where the flange is compressed. However, when flange is subjected to tension, the location and content of the lateral confinement results in a large difference in the structural performance of T-shaped walls. Therefore, selection of location and content of the lateral confinement would be important aspect in the design of the nonsymmetric structural walls.

This paper presents some simple thinking on an age-old question that given a bridge of a certain span and loading, from the point of view of the structural efficiency, where should the bridge deck be positioned? Generally, this decision is made for other reasons than structural efficiency such as aesthetics and the analyst is often presented with a fait accompli. Using the recently invented Evolutional Structural Optimisation (ESO) method, it is possible to demonstrate that having the deck at different vertical locations can lead to a very different mass and shape for each structural form resembling cable-stayed and cable-truss bridges. By monitoring a performance index which is the function of stresses and volume of discretised finite elements, the best optimised structure can be easily determined and the bridge deck positioning problem can be efficiently solved without resorting to any complex analysis procedures.

The problem of structural topology optimization can be relaxed and converted into the optimal density distribution problem. The optimal density distribution must be post-processed to get the real shape of the structure. The extracted shape can then be used for the next process, which is usually shape optmization based on the boundary movement method. In the practical point of view, it is very important to get the optimal density distribution from which the corresponding shape can easily be extracted. Among many other factors, the presence of checker-board patterns is a powerful barrier for the shape extraction job. The nature of checker-board patterns seems to be a numerical locking. In this paper, an efficient algorithm is presented to suppress the checker-board patterns. At each iteration, density is re-distributed after it is updated according to the optimization rule. The algorithm also results in the optimal density distribution whose corresponding shape has smooth boundary. Some examples are presented to show the performance of the density re-distribution algorithm. Checker-board patterns are successfully suppressed and the resulting shapes are considered very satisfactory.
