This paper presents an improved Monte Carlo simulation for the probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of cable-stayed bridges under dead loads using the response surfaces method. A response surface (i.e. a quadratic response surface without cross-terms) is used to approximate structural response. The use of the response surface eliminates the need to perform a deterministic analysis in each simulation loop. In addition, use of the response surface requires fewer simulation loops than conventional Monte Carlo simulation. Thereby, the computation time is saved significantly. The statistics (e.g. mean value, standard deviation) of the structural response are calculated through conventional Monte Carlo simulation method. By using Monte Carlo simulation, it is possible to use the existing deterministic finite element code without modifying it. Probabilistic analysis of a truss demonstrates the proposed method' efficiency and accuracy; probabilistic determination of initial cable forces of a cable-stayed bridge under dead loads verifies the method's applicability.

본 논문에서는 비선형해석이라는 복잡한 과정을 거치지 않고도 사장교 시스템의 초기형상을 효율적이고 합리적으로 결정하는 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 사장교 시스템의 초기형상해석이라 함은 주형의 수직 처짐과 휨모멘트, 주탑의 수평변위와 휨모멘트를 최소화하면서, 고정하중과 평형을 이룰 수 있는 케이블의 장력과 무응력길이를 결정하는 방법으로 이때, 케이블이 정착되는 주형의 수평위치, 주탑의 수직위치가 변하지 않아야 한다. 본 연구에서는 주형과 주탑의 케이블 정착부에서 힘의 평형조건을 이용하여 주형의 수직 처짐과 주탑의 수평변위를 효과적으로 제어할 수 있는 장력 산정법을 사장교의 형태별로 정리하여 제시하였으며, 2차원 사장교 예제들에 대하여 기존 연구의 방법들과 장력, 주형의 모멘트와 처짐 등을 비교하였다. 또한 3차원 실교량에 대해 Improved TCUD법으로 초기형상해석을 수행하여 그 결과와 비교함으로서 본 방법의 정확성을 입증하고자 하였다.

For the initial equilibrium states of cable stayed bridges, this study presents a method to determine initial cable forces through successive iteration of the cable forces to minimize the errors between target moments or displacements and result of nonlinear analysis. Stay cables are modeled by truss elements and least square method was used to minimize the errors. In the structural characteristics of cable stayed bridges, a large axial force is introduced in the pylon and stiffening girder so fictitious section areas are assumed to determine initial cable forces accurately. To verify usefulness and validity of the proposed algorithm, some numerical analysis has been conducted and compared with the existing study.

Cable network system is a flexible lightweight structure which curved cables can transmit only tensile forces. The weight of cable roof dramatically can reduce when the length becomes large. The cable network system is too flexible, most cable systems are stabilized by pretension forces. The tensile force of cable system is greatly influenced by the sag ratio and pretension forces. Determining initial sag ratio of cable roof system is essential in a design process of cable structures. Final sag ratio and pretension depends on initial installed sag and on proper handling during installation. The design shape of cable system has an affect on the sag and pretension, and must be determined using well-defined design philosophy. This paper is carried out the comparative data of the deflection and tensile forces on the geometric non-linear analysis of cable network systems according to sag ratio. The study of cable network system is provided to technical informations for the design of a large span cable roof, analytical results are compared with the results of other researchers. Structural nonlinear analysis of systems having cable elements is relatively complex than other rigid structural systems because displacements are large as a reason of flexibility, initial prestress is applied to cables in order to increase the rigidity, and then divergence of nonlinear analysis occurs rather frequently. Therefore, cable network systems do not exhibit a typical nonlinear behavior, iterative method that can handle geometric nonlinearities are necessary.

사장교는 그 설계에 있어서 케이블의 개수와 배치형식, 케이블의 초기인장력, 주탑의 지지형식과 높이 등 거어더와 주탑 단면외에도 설계변수가 많으므로 효율적인 설계를 하는 것이 쉽지 않다. 본 연구에서 케이블의 초기인장력, 거어더와 주탑의 단면, 주탑의 높이를 설계변수로 하여 사장교의 설계를 최적화하는 문제를 다루었다. 서로 상호작용을 하는 여러 설계변수를 동시에 최적화하는 어려움을 피하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 초기인장력, 단면, 주탑의 좌표를 각각 독립된 설계공간에서 최적화하였다. 목적함수로서는 초기인장력 공간에서는 전체구조의 변형에너지를, 단면 및 좌표의 공간에서는 재료의 총중량을 취하였다. 제약조건으로는 초기인장력의 상하한계, 부재의 좌굴을 고려한 응력, 단면적의 하한계를 고려하였다. 대표적인 Fan형 및 Harp형 사장교를 최적설계한 결과, 제시된 방법에 의하여 합리적인 결과를 얻을 수 있음을 보이고, 기존의 최적화에서 고려하지 않았던 좌표의 최적화를 통하여 경제성을 얻을 수 있다는 것을 밝혔다.

The cable dome, proposed by Geiger after developing Fuller's idea of tensegrity and improved by Levy, is a new type of large span space structures. In this paper, formulations of the initial forces distribution in members of two main systems of cable dome, which are Geiger dome and Levy dome, are presented. By analyzing the static performance of Levy dome and the variation of internal forces in members of the structure, four groups of design parameters in cable dome structure are represented in terms of: (1) the numbers of rings and the spaces between the rings; (2) the slopes of ridge cables; (3) the lengths of struts; (4) the initial force in one member of the structure.

In this paper, We propose the initial shape finding and dynamic analysis of cable dome structure are presented. Cable dome that is consist of three component such as cable, strut and fabric membrane have complex structural characteristics. Main structural system of cable dome is cable-strut tensegric system, and fabric membrane element Is conceived as cladding roof material. One of the important problem of cable dome is shape finding of those subjected to cable and membrane forces, which stabilize the structures. And the other is structural response from external load effect such as snow and wind When cable dome are subjected to dynamic load such as wind load each structural component has many important problem because of their special structural characteristics. One problem is that geometrical nonlinearity should be considered in the dynamic analysis because large deformation is occurred from their flexible characteristic. The other problem is that wrinkling occurs occasionally because cable and membrane elements can not transmit compressive forces. So this paper describe the physical structural response of cable dome structure.

Practical stability design method of main members of cable-stayed bridges is proposed and discussed through a design example. For this purpose, initial tensions of stay cables and axial forces of main members are firstly determined using initial shaping analysis of bridges under dead loads. And then the effective buckling length using system elastic/inelastic buckling analysis and bending moments considering $P-{\delta}-{\Delta}$ effect by second-order elastic analysis are calculated for main girder and pylon members subjected to both axial forces and moments, respectively. Particularly, load combinations of dead and live loads, in which maximum load effects due to live loads are obtained, are taken into account and effects of live loads on effective buckling lengths are investigated.
