The suspended dome system is a new structural form that has become popular in the construction of long-span roof structures. Suspended dome is a kind of new pre-stressed space grid structure that has complex mechanical characteristics. In this paper, an optimum topology design algorithm is performed using the enhanced colliding bodies optimization (ECBO) method. The length of the strut, the cable initial strain, the cross-sectional area of the cables and the cross-sectional size of steel elements are adopted as design variables and the minimum volume of each dome is taken as the objective function. The topology optimization on lamella dome is performed by considering the type of the joint connections to determine the optimum number of rings, the optimum number of joints in each ring, the optimum height of crown and tubular sections of these domes. A simple procedure is provided to determine the configuration of the dome. This procedure includes calculating the joint coordinates and steel elements and cables constructions. The design constraints are implemented according to the provision of LRFD-AISC (Load and Resistance Factor Design-American Institute of Steel Constitution). This paper explores the efficiency of lamella dome with pin-joint and rigid-joint connections and compares them to investigate the performance of these domes under wind (according to the ASCE 7-05), dead and snow loading conditions. Then, a suspended dome with pin-joint single-layer reticulated shell and a suspended dome with rigid-joint single-layer reticulated shell are discussed. Optimization is performed via ECBO algorithm to demonstrate the effectiveness and robustness of the ECBO in creating optimal design for suspended domes.

South anchorage(AN1, Myodo side) of supension bridge between Myodo and Gwangyang is designed as rock anchorage with 36m anchor length using the resistance of rock mass in Myodo. Checking the overall stability of the anchorage, we considered rock joints, bedding planes, fault zones and condition of rock structure in situ by analysis results for photo-lineaments, aerial photograph interpretation and drill-hole logs are considered. This anchorage consists of an access shaft, adit, and the upper and lower concrete bearing plate to introduce pre-stressing force into rock mass.

A body form, which experiences minimum vertical wave-exciting forces in the vicinity of a prescribed wave frequency in water of finite depth, is obtained by an approximate method. Its configuration has the symmetry with respect to the vertical axis, expressed in terms of exponential functions. By distributing three-dimensional pulsating sources and dipoles on the immersed surface of the body, a velocity potential is determined and subsequently hydrodynamic forces including the 2nd-order time-mean drift forces are calculated. The dynamic behavior of the body moored in irregular waves is investigated numerically by using central difference method. Hereby irregular wave trains are simulated with examining its repeatability by comparing the resulting spectrum with original one. Numerical results indicated that the body form obtained from the present analysis possesses in general a favorable hydrodynamic characteristics in comparison with a spherical buoy and that the maximum excursion of the body can be significantly reduced by setting pre-tension of an appropriate amount in the mooring cable.

본 연구에서는 복합형 지지방식으로 개발된 MC앵커에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. MC앵커는 선단 정착장치가 확장되어 천공된 공벽에 지압력이 발휘됨에 따라 인발력 증대와 그라우팅이 제대로 이루어지지 않을 경우에도 앵커체가 지반에서 탈락하지 않는 특성이 있다. 또한, 앵커강선과 더불어 보강철근을 삽입하여 인장손실을 감소시키는 동시에 시공성을 높이고 앵커강선의 손실이 발생하였을 때 네일의 역할을 기대할 수 있어 장기적인 안정성 향상을 꾀할 수 있다. 그러나, MC앵커와 같은 복합형 앵커는 마찰형 앵커와 지지구조가 다르기 때문에 지반과 그라우트의 마찰력에 의한 인발력 산정방식은 적합하지 않다. 특히, 국내의 경우에는 복합형 앵커에 대하여 지반특성을 고려한 설계법이 명확하게 정립되어 있지 않아 복합형 앵커의 인발력이 과소 또는 과대 평가되는 문제점이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 복합형 앵커의 일종인 MC앵커의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 강도변화가 심한 셰일지반을 대상으로 총 9개소에서 시험앵커를 시공하여 인발, 인장 및 장기변위를 측정하였다. 또한, 시험결과를 일반 마찰형 앵커의 경우와 비교, 분석하여 MC앵커의 거동 특성을 평가하였으며, 시험결과 셰일층에서 MC앵커는 일반 마찰형 앵커에 비해 인발력 증대효과를 확인할 수 있었다.
