The stochastic damage locating vector (SDLV) method has been studied extensively in recent years because of its potential to determine the location of damage in structures without the need for measuring the input excitation. The SDLV method has been shown to be a particularly useful tool for damage localization in steel truss bridges through numerical simulation and experimental validation. However, several issues still need clarification. For example, two methods have been suggested for determining the observation matrix C identified for the structural system; yet little guidance has been provided regarding the conditions under which the respective formulations should be used. Additionally, the specific layout of the sensors to achieve effective performance with the SDLV method and the associated relationship to the specific type of truss structure have yet to be explored. Moreover, how the location of truss members influences the damage localization results should be studied. In this paper, these three issues are first investigated through numerical simulation and subsequently the main results are validated experimentally. The results of this paper provide guidance on the effective use of the SDLV method.

3D finite element analyses of a corrugated steel web girder and a steel truss web girder are conducted to investigate the static and dynamic behaviour of the hybrid girders. And the analyses results are compared with those by the equivalent beam theory. The equivalent theory is a theory that all section properties of a truss structure are replaced by section properties of a beam including the shear coefficient. When applying the equivalent beam theory, the shear coefficient of the corrugated steel web girder is estimated as the area ratio of total section to web section and that of the steel truss web girder is calculated by the equation proposed by Dewolf. Static deflections and natural frequencies by 3D finite element analyses and the those by the equivalent beam theory are relatively in good agreement.

Double skin composite walls are alternatives to concrete walls to resist gravity load in structures. The composite action between steel faceplates and concrete core largely depends on the internal mechanical connectors. This paper investigates the structural behavior of novel composite wall system with T section and under combined compressive force and bending moment. The truss connectors are used to bond the steel faceplates to concrete core. Four short specimens were designed and tested under eccentric compression. The influences of the thickness of steel faceplates, the truss spacing, and the thickness of web wall were discussed based on the test results. The N-M interaction curves by AISC 360, Eurocode 4, and CECS 159 were compared with the test data. It was found that AISC 360 provided the most reasonable predictions.

본 연구에서는 유전 알고리즘(GA, Genetic Algorithm)을 이용하여 트러스 구조물에서 부재의 특성변화에 의한 손상탐지를 확인하였다. 구조물의 손상 탐지를 위하여 트러스 구조물을 모델링하여 특정 부재의 탄성계수를 감소시킴으로써 구조물의 손상을 결정하였다. 트러스 구조물의 해석은 특정 하중이 가하여졌을 경우의 정적 해석을 통하여 수행하였으며, 구조물의 손상 위치와 정도는 손상을 입기전의 구조물과 손상을 입은 구조물의 각 부재 변형률의 차이를 마이크로 유전 알고리즘을 통하여 비교 분석하여 탐지하였다. 본 연구에서는 트러스 구조물의 수치 해석 예제를 모델링하여 마이크로 유전 알고리즘을 이용하여 손상 탐지를 수행하였으며, 이를 통하여 구조물의 손상 위치와 정도가 탐지되는 것을 확인하였다.

철선 트러스데크는 기존의 재래식 슬래브 거푸집이나 일반 데크플레이트 공법을 대체하여 철골조는 물론 철근콘크리트 구조물에도 사용이 점차 증가하고 있다. 현재 사용되고 있는 기존의 트러스 데크는 래티스 철선과 하부 철선의 비연속적인 절점간격에 의한 트러스의 비렌딜거동에 의해 완전한 트러스형상에 비해 처짐이 커지는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 래티스 철선과 상하부 철선이 연속적으로 연결되어 비렌딜거동이 없는 순수 트러스형태를 구현함으로써 처짐성능이 우수한 새로운 형태의 데크를 고안하였다. 개발된 시스템의 구조적 거동을 평가하고자, 해석 및 성능평가 실험을 수행하였다. 처짐에 영향을 주는 요소를 중심으로 래티스 철선의 길이방향 연결형태, 간격을 해석과 실험의 주요 변수로 설정하였다. 해석과 실험은 실제 시공 시 타설되는 콘크리트 하중이 아연도 철판을 통해 철선에 작용하는 것을 고려하여 아연도 철판에 직접 등분포 하중을 가력하였다. 구조해석 및 실험을 통한 분석결과 철선 트러스데크의 길이방향 형태, 즉 래티스 철선의 길이방향 연결 형태가 구조적 거동에 영향을 주는 주요한 인자로서 작용했으며, 래티스 철선을 길이방향으로 연속적으로 연결함으로써 비렌딜거동에 의한 영향을 감소시킬 수 있었다. 또한 래티스 철선의 연결간격을 증가 시킬 경우에도, 상, 하부 철선에 큰 응력증가 없이 우수한 처짐 성능을 발현 할 수 있었다.

The evaluation theory of reliability, availability, maintainability and safety (RAMS) as a mature theory of state evaluation in the railway engineering, can be well used to the evaluation, management, and maintenance of complicated structure like the long-span bridge structures on the high-speed railway. Taking a typical steel-truss arch bridge on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway, the Nanjing Dashengguan Yangtze River Bridge, this paper developed a new method of state evaluation for the existing steel-truss arch high-speed railway bridge. The evaluation framework of serving state for the bridge structure is presented based on the RAMS theory. According to the failure-risk, safety/availability, maintenance of bridge members, the state evaluation method of each monitoring item is presented. The weights of the performance items and the monitoring items in all evaluation levels are obtained using the analytic hierarchy process. Finally, the comprehensive serving state of bridge structure is hierarchical evaluated.

Tubular member is hollow and is an excellent source of structural member with great buckling resistance and tortional resistance. With its development and simplicity in structure, steel tubular truss has the ability to be structured in long span bridges, without a stiffener. Recently, it has been used in many countries in Europe, Canada, Japan, and the US with the help of international committees such as CIDECT(International Committee for the Development and Study of Tubular Structures and International Institute of Welding). The most important problem when using the tubular member is the fact that it is difficult to test the fatigue stress determined by nominal stress, since geometrical stress concentration occurs due to the welded joint's nod of complexity. The purpose of this study is to compare and examine current theories and widely applied Hot Spot stress determinations through finite element analysis, which is about welded joints of steel tubular truss. We would like to suggest a way of design practice which involves a bridge plan with rarely domestically used steel tubular truss` basic research data as well as considering the future of tubular member.

In this study, we conducted a shake table test to verify the seismic performance of the paneling system with steel truss composed of bolt connections. The control group was set to the traditional paneling system with steel truss connected by spot welding method. Test results showed that the bolted connection type paneling system has excellent deformation capacity without cracking or brittle fracture of the steel truss connection parts compared to the welding type paneling system. Furthermore, in the bolted connection type, slight damage occurred at the time of occurrence of the same story drift angle as compared with the existing method, it is considered that it has excellent seismic performance. In compliance with the performance-based design recommended for the current code (ASCE 41-13) on non-structural components, it is judged that in the case of the bolted connection type paneling system, it can be applied to all risk category structures without restriction. However, in the case of traditional paneling system with spot welding method, it is considered that it can be applied limitedly.

Sandwich composite wall consists of concrete core attached by two external steel faceplates. It combines the advantage of steel and concrete. The appropriate composite action between steel faceplate and concrete core is achieved by using adequate mechanical connectors. This research studied the compressive behavior of the sandwich composite walls using steel trusses to bond the steel faceplates to concrete infill. Four short specimens with different wall width and thickness of steel faceplate were designed and tested under axial compression. The test results were comprehensively evaluated in terms of failure modes, load versus axial and lateral deformation responses, resistance, stiffness, ductility, strength index, and strain distribution. The test results showed that all specimens exhibited high resistance and good ductility. Truss connectors offer better restraint to walls with thinner faceplates and smaller wall width. In addition, increasing faceplate thickness is more effective in improving the ultimate resistance and axial stiffness of the wall.
