Recently, the resizing algorithms based on the displacement participation factors have been developed for sizing members to satisfy stiffness criteria. It is proved that this resizing algorithms made for utilizing worker's stiffness design are practical and rational when applied to aseismatic design in the range of elastic until now. However, by the preceding research we confirmed that the inelastic performance of steel moment-resisting frame designed by resizing algorithms is not better than that of the frame before resizing. We present therefore a plan for improving inelastic performance of steel moment-resizing frame to which resizing algorithms applied in this paper.

In this paper, a newly derived formulation of a crack detection model is presented and its feasibility to detect cracks in structures is verified experimentally. To meet this objective, the followig approach is utilized. Firstly, the crack detection scheme which consists of the damage localization model and the crack detection model is formulated. Secondly, the feasibility and practicality of the complete procedure of the crack detection model is evaluated by locating and sizing cracks in clamped-clamped beams for which a f3w modal parameters were measured for sixteen uncracked and cracked states. Major results observed from the crack detection exercises include that far most damage cases, the predicted crack locations falls within very close to the inflicted locations of cracks in the test beam and the size of crack values estimated at the predicted locations are very close to the inflicted magnitudes.

A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method fur non-shape problems is developed for geometrically nonlinear elastic structures. The non-shape problem is characterized by the design variables that are not associated with the domain of system like sizing, material property, loading, and so on. Total Lagrangian formulation with the Green-Lagrange strain and the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress is employed to describe the geometrically nonlinear structures. The spatial domain is discretized using the 4-node isoparametric plane stress/strain elements. The resulting nonlinear system is solved using the Newton-Raphson iterative method. To take advantage of the derived analytical sensitivity In topology optimization, a fast and efficient design sensitivity analysis method, adjoint variable method, is employed and the material property of each element is selected as non-shape design variable. Combining the design sensitivity analysis method and a gradient-based design optimization algorithm, an automated design optimization method is developed. The comparison of the analytical sensitivity with the finite difference results shows excellent agreement. Also application to the topology design optimization problem suggests a very good insight for the layout design.

The construction field must always explore sustainable ways of using its raw materials. Studying the environmental impact generated by reinforced concrete raw materials during their production and transportation can contribute to reducing this impact. This paper initially presents the carbon dioxide emissions from reinforced concrete raw materials, quantified per kilo of raw material and per cubic meter of concrete with different characteristic strengths, for southern Brazil. Subsequently, reinforced concrete elements were optimized to minimize their environmental impact and cost. It was observed that lower values of carbon dioxide emissions and cost savings are generated for less resistant concrete when the structural element is a beam, and that reductions in the cross section dimensions of the beams, sized based on the use of higher strength concrete, may not compensate for the increased environmental impact and costs. For the columns, the behavior differed, presenting lower values of carbon dioxide emissions and costs for higher concrete strengths. The proposed methodology, as well as the results obtained, can be used to support structural projects that have less impact on the environment.

This paper presents a review of the two widespread approaches which deal with the ultimate strength design of RC slabs subjected to bending moments and torsion: The Field of Moments Method (FoMM) and the Sandwich method (SM). Special attention is paid to the ultimate strain distribution implicitly assumed when using each one of the methodologies, in particular, the yielding of the steel reinforcement. This work analyzes the initial assumption regarding ultimate strain distribution in the SM. Furthermore, this work studies the resisting moments field on which the Wood-Armer method is based, and it finds some inconsistencies. Several examples have been developed.

고층건물에서 횡력 저항의 주된 역할을 하는 외주골조는 기둥과 보를 직교시켜 구성하는 것이 일반적이었으나 최근 다양한 그리드형태의 부재배치가 이루어지고 있다. 선행연구에서는 아이소트러스 그리드를 고층건물의 외주골조로 적용한 구조적 적합성이 검토되었다. 본 연구에서는 $IsoTruss^{(R)}$ 그리드(ITG) 구조의 예비단계 설계시 외주골조 부재의 소요단면적 산정방법을 제안하였다. 모듈의 변형과 하중과의 평형조건, 허용 횡변위, 그리고 건물의 휨변형 대 전단변형의 비를 변수로 하여 소요단면적을 유도하였다. ITG 구조에서 외주골조의 부재는 횡하중에 직각인 평면(PPR), 평행한 평면(PPL), 경사진 평면(POQ)에 배치되는데 POQ에 배치된 부재는 PPR 또는 PPL에 투영시켜 부재의 강성을 반영하였다. 소요단면적은 모듈에 작용하는 전단력과 모멘트에 의해 영향을 받는데 부재사이즈 조닝을 달리하여 3가지 모델을 비교하였다. 본 연구의 효용성을 검증하기 위해 64층 건물을 설계하여 해석하였다. 최대 횡변위, 철골량, 기둥의 축력강도비를 비교분석하여 부재사이즈 조닝의 효과를 알아보았다. 제안식을 이용한 횡변위가 제한치의 약 97.3%로 나와 제안식을 설계 초기단계에서 부재사이즈의 선정에 유용하게 적용할 수 있다.

Truss-Z (TZ) is an Extremely Modular System (EMS). Such systems allow for creation of structurally sound free-form structures, are comprised of as few types of modules as possible, and are not constrained by a regular tessellation of space. Their objective is to create spatial structures in given environments connecting given terminals without self-intersections and obstacle-intersections. TZ is a skeletal modular system for creating free-form pedestrian ramps and ramp networks. The previous research on TZ focused on global discrete geometric optimization of the spatial configuration of modules. This paper reports on the first attempts at structural optimization of the module for a single-branch TZ. The internal topology and the sizing of module beams are subject to optimization. An important challenge is that the module is to be universal: it must be designed for the worst case scenario, as defined by the module position within a TZ branch and the geometric configuration of the branch itself. There are four variations of each module, and the number of unique TZ configurations grows exponentially with the branch length. The aim is to obtain minimum-mass modules with the von Mises equivalent stress constrained under certain design load. The resulting modules are further evaluated also in terms of the typical structural criterion of compliance.

본 연구에서는 구조체의 위상학적 최적화를 위한 비선형 formulation(NLP)가 개발, 검토되었다. 이 NLP는 multiple-loading하에서 임의의 오브젝티브 함수, 응력, 변위 제약조건들을 쉽게 다룰 수가 있다. 또한 이 NLP는 해석과 최적화 디자인을 동시에 실시함으로써 요소 사이즈가 영으로 접근함에 따른 강성 매트릭스의 singularity를 피할 수 있다. 즉, 평형 방정식을 등제약조건으로 치환함으로써 강성 매트릭스 그 자체나 그의 역매트릭스를 구할 필요도 없어진다. 이 NLP는 multiple-loading conditon하에서 테스트되었으며, 이를 통해 이 NLP가 다양한 제약조건하에서 강력하게 작용함이 입증되었다.

The paper deals with comparative study of various surrogate models based approximate optimization in the structural design of the passive type deck support frame under design load conditions. The passive type deck support frame was devised to facilitate both transportation and installation of 20,000 ton class topside. Structural analysis was performed using the finite element method to evaluate the strength performance of the passive type deck support frame in its initial design stage. In the structural analysis, the strength performances were evaluated for various design load conditions. The optimum design problem based on surrogate model was formulated such that thickness sizing variables of main structure members were determined by minimizing the weight of the passive type deck support frame subject to the strength performance constraints. The surrogate models used in the approximate optimization were response surface method, Kriging model, and Chebyshev orthogonal polynomials. In the context of numerical performances, the solution results from approximate optimization were compared to actual non-approximate optimization. The response surface method among the surrogate models used in the approximate optimization showed the most appropriate optimum design results for the structure design of the passive type deck support frame.
