The purpose of this study is to increase applicability of high strength steel, HSA800 to the structure. Selected study of structure is to consider high strength steel, and following parts, 1) Tensile member with no consider of buckling, 2) Truss existing both tension and compression members with small slenderness ratio. This studied structure is included tension column hang on to the upper bridge truss. The structure element quantity with apply HSA800 instead of SM570 is reduced about 38.9% of tension column and 29.7% of bridge truss. In addition, the number of element's division is reduced about two sections due to reduction of self weight that the crane is able to lift up. This improves to reduce erection sequence and construction period which can save about a month. All connections are reviewed as welding and bolt. Also, the cost of welding is reduced about 41.3% due to apply HSA800. In conclusion, applying HSA800 to the hanging structure aggressively can secure economic and constructability.

The purpose of this study is to consider structural issues and analyze construction sequences when constructing hanging floors supported by Mega truss. Since suspended structures were supported by the Mega truss, vertical load on suspended structures was needed to transfer from low to high. Deflection management of structures was the primary point under construction. The results of this study were as follows; The steel structures, which has relatively lighter self-weight, were constructed upwards after the base floor steel truss erection. Concrete Placing, which has relatively heavier self-weight, were performed in two phases to minimize structure's deflection. Slab was placed downwards from the top floor to lower floor whereas column was places upwards. Deflection measurements were carried out at every construction sequences.
