구조디자인 측면에서 본 트러스의 구성요소와 역학적 거동특성

The design composition elements and the mechanical behaviors of trusses have been investigated in order to design more various and effective trusses in architectural and structural design. First, trusses were classified into Pratt truss, Howe truss, Warren truss with composition of web members, and the mechanical behaviors of these trusses were explained from the principle of suspension and arch structures. Also, the structural features and architectural design features of the various trusses have been determined by analyzing truss models with a variation of design elements ; composition of web members, number of web panels, chord profile, depth, double chord. This has an object to provide more useful design informations for truss in early planning stage considering various architectural design purposes and structural efficiency.
