The uncontrollable factors such as construction errors, material inhomogeneity, etc. will inevitably lead to a certain initial imperfections. It is generally known that the stochastic initial imperfection of the structure is an important factor for affecting structural stability and bearing capacity. Since these imperfections are random in nature, this paper proposes the method mainly based on the standard orthogonal basis to expand the stochastic field, taking into account the decomposition of the stochastic initial imperfections related to structures, which is projected in the buckling mode orthogonal basis. In the end, the article by the stability analysis example shows that this method can use less random variables effectively describing the original stochastic imperfection field, and efficiently search for the most unfavorable initial imperfection distribution form in order to ensure the imperfection sensitivity structures have a higher reliability, so it can be applied to large-scale engineering structure stochastic imperfection analysis.

Estimation Scheme

The present study proposes an efficient scheme to estimate elastic-plastic buckling load of a shallow grid dome stiffened by diagonal braces. The dome is circular in plan. It is assumed to be subject to a uniform vertical load and to be supported by a substructure composed of columns and anti-earthquake braces. Based on FEM parametric studies considering various configurations and degrees of local imperfections, a set of formulations are presented to estimate the elastic-plastic buckling load. In the scheme, the linear buckling load, elastic buckling load, and imperfection sensitivity are first presented in terms of related parameters, and the elasticplastic buckling load is then estimated by a semi-empirical formula in terms of generalized slenderness ratio using a corresponding plastic load. For the plastic load, the present scheme adopts a procedure that it is calculated by a linear elastic FEM analysis, while an alternative formula for the plastic load is also proposed based on a shell membrane theory. The validity of the estimation scheme is finally confirmed through comparison with the results based on FEM nonlinear analysis. The formulations are so efficient and simple that the estimation may be conducted for preliminary design purposes almost with a calculator. .
