1. Optimization of geometrically nonlinear truss structures under dynamic loading
Abstract The goal of this article is to present the formulation of the optimization problem of truss structures with geometric nonlinearity under dynamic loads and provide examples of this problem. The formulated optimization problem aims to determine the cross-sectional area of the bars that minimizes the weight of the structure, imposing constraints on nod

2. Composite floor system with CFS trussed beams, concrete slab and innovative shear connectors
Abstract Steel and concrete floor systems are widely applied for buildings and provide excellent structural response, optimized material consumption, reduced beam height, and improved bending strength and stiffness capacity. In recent years, many experimental investigations concerned with new alternatives addressed to efficient interaction between steel and

3. Structural reliability model considering mixed probabilistic and interval variables
Abstract Traditional probability-based structural reliability analysis method can only consider random uncertainties described by random distribution functions, which required sufficient experimental samples. On comparison, interval uncertainties can be more appropriate when lacking information. In realistic situations, several structural reliability models

5. STRESS, DISPLACEMENT JOINTS OF GMELINA ARBOREA AND TECTONA GRANDIS WOOD WITH METAL PLATES, SCREWS AND NAILS FOR USE IN TIMBER TRUSS CONNECTIONS
ABSTRACT In countries like Costa Rica, there is an interest in developing wooden trusses in a versatile and light way. However, there is a key aspect in the behavior of truss connections in this product. Therefore, the present study determines the structural behavior of the truss connections and the displacement, the resistance, the stiffness values and the

6. Role of multi-layer pyramidal truss cores as an inner material of energy absorbing structures
Abstract In this study, finite element analysis was performed to investigate the feasibility of multi-layered pyramidal truss structures as a filler material of energy absorbing tubes. Rectangular tubes with the filler and empty tubes were compressed at a constant velocity of 10km/h and their energy absorbing capabilities were compared to demonstrate the str

7. THE TOPPLING OF AN IRRIGATION CENTER PIVOT SUBMITTED TO WIND ACTION EFFECTS
ABSTRACT This research aims to improve the study about the stability of truss structures used in pivot irrigation, widely used due to the growing demand for food production, when submitted to wind effects. Specifically, it aims to verify the maximum wind speed supported by an irrigation center pivot structure when submitted to the load effects caused by wind

8. Strut-and-tie models for linear and nonlinear behavior of concrete based on topological evolutionary structure optimization (ESO)
Resumo A busca por sistemas resistentes representativos para estrutura de concreto requer profundo conhecimento sobre seu comportamento mecânico. Os modelos de bielas e tirantes são procedimentos clássicos utilizados no dimensionamento do concreto armado onde existem concentrações de tensão, as chamadas regiões descontínuas da estrutura. No entanto,

9. Statistics of the Pareto front in Multi-objective Optimization under Uncertainties
Abstract In this paper we address an innovative approach to determine the mean and a confidence interval for a set of objects analogous to curves and surfaces. The approach is based on the determination of the most representative member of the family by minimizing a Hausdorff distance. This method is applied to the analysis of uncertain Pareto frontiers in m

10. Numerical analysis of truss systems with stiffened flattened end-bars
Abstract Circular hollow sections are usually used in long-span roof truss systems. One of the typology for connecting elements in such structures involves the flattening of bar ends. This article presents the numerical analysis of a plane truss composed of circular hollow sections, in which diagonal bars have flattened ends. In this sense, a new flattening

11. Modeling the creep behavior of GRFP truss structures with Positional Finite Element Method
Abstract This paper presents the development of a formulation, based on Positional Finite Element Method, to describe the viscoelastic mechanical behavior of space trusses. The numerical method used was chosen due to its efficiency in the applications concerning nonlinear numerical analyses. The formulation describes the positional variation over time under

12. A Quantitative Comparison Between Size, Shape, Topology and Simultaneous Optimization for Truss Structures
Abstract There are typically three broad categories of structural optimization namely size, shape and topology. Over the past few decades various researchers have focused on developing techniques for optimizing structures by considering either one or a combination of these aspects. In this paper the efficiency of these techniques are investigated in an effor
