In order to analyze the buckling behavior of lattice shells stiffened by cables or slender braces without pre-tension, it is necessary to consider the no-compression property of braces. This paper proposes an innovative method of linear buckling analysis that considers the no-compression property of braces. Moreover, in order to examine the proposed method's validity, its results are compared with the results from a nonlinear buckling analysis with geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity to express the no-compression property of braces. The results show that the proposed method can well-predict the buckling behaviors of lattice shells stiffened by tension braces.
