The Stability

The suspended dome structure, which is a new kind of hybrid spatial one composed of the upper single layer latticed shell and the lower cable-strut system, generally has smaller rise-to-span ratio, thus the overall stability is one of the key factors to the design of the structure. The nonlinear buckling behavior of an elliptic paraboloid suspended dome structure of span 110m80m is investigated by introducing geometric nonlinearity, initial geometric imperfection, material elastic-plasticity and half-span distribution of live loads. The study shows that the coefficient of stable bearing capacity usually is not minimal when the initial geometric imperfection configuration is taken as the first order buckling mode. The unsymmetrical loading distribution and the material nonlinearity might have significant effects on the coefficient. The structure is sensitive to the changes of initial geometric imperfection, and the consistent mode imperfection method is not fully applicable to the stability analysis of suspended dome structure.

Suspended dome is a reasonable and novel type of long-span hybrid spatial structures based upon single-layer spherical lattice shell and tensegrity system. Based upon the structural force-bearing characteristics, the combined finite element model of beam elements, truss elements and cable elements is set up. A method taking the maximum displacement on nodes under earthquake acceleration of each level as dynamic response representative parameter is proposed to study the dynamic stable ultimate capacity of suspended dome by application of the incremental dynamic analysis in combination with B-R kinetic criterion. Furthermore, considering suspended dome has the clear advantage over Single-Layer Spherical Lattice Shell for a structure with a long span and a small ratio of rise to span, the influences of factors such as structural parameters, geometric parameters, and different earthquake input are investigated on dynamic stability for a kiewitt-type suspended dome with a long span and a small ratio of rise to span. Finally of suspended dome some conclusions are obtained such as the initial defects can clearly reduce dynamic stable ultimate capacity, and since the rise-span ratio, pre-stressing level and cross section area are not monotonous as variety to the structural dynamic stability, they should be optimized to enhance or improve the structural dynamic stability, which can be rules for engineering design.

The dynamic characteristics of 80 m single-layer spherical lattice shell structure are analyzed to control its vibration under seismic load. Through the response spectrum curve of current design specification, the analyses for the vertical and horizontal seismic responses of the single-layer spherical lattice shell structure are made by CQC, and the displacement response of the nodes and internal force of the rods unit are calculated respectively. The calculation results show that the vertical and horizontal seismic responses of the long-span lattice shell structure are in great difference, and should be performed in vibration control at the same time, which could provide certain references for the seismic design and vibration control of single-layer spherical lattice shell structure.

The Suspended Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell (SLICS) is a new structural system, composed by the single layer Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell (LICS) and the prestressed cable-strut system. Mechanical properties of this structure were investigated through nonlinear buckling analysis by the consistent imperfect buckling analysis method, compared with the single layer LICS. Structure parameters including prestress level, member section, length of bar, rise-span ratio, obliquity were analyzed. And the effect of material nonlinearity on the stability was studied. Results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the SLICS is improved as the introduction of prestress. However the prestress level has a limited impact on the ultimate bearing capacity. And the material nonlinear is very important to the stability of the SLICS.
