Reticulated Shell Structure

Based on the probability reliability theory, this paper proposes a modified consistent mode imperfection method, which fits the integral stability analysis of single-layer reticulated shells with the initial geometric imperfections. Nearly 1000 elasto-plastic load-deflection overall processes of four different rise-to-span ratio for Kiewitt-8 single-layer reticulated shells are analyzed by using the random imperfection mode method, the consistent mode imperfection method and the modified consistent mode imperfection method respectively. The study shows that the random imperfection mode method can assess the influence of initial geometric imperfections on structure stability more scientifically, but the calculation is quite large. By using the consistent mode imperfection method, the buckling load is not sure to be the most unfavorable, and the degree of reliability couldnt be ensured effectively. The modified consistent mode imperfection method can gain the buckling load which meets the requirement of probability reliability with less calculation. It can also assess the stability performance of single-layer reticulated shell structure more reasonably and safely.

Initial Geometric Imperfections

The paper proposed a new system of spatial structure: steel- concrete composite ribbed shell, and briefly compared the three analysis methods considering the initial imperfections of structures: the random imperfection mode method, the consistent imperfection mode method and the improved random imperfection mode method. By using of the consistent imperfection mode method and nonlinear finite element analysis software ANSYS, we analyzed a composite steel-concrete ribbed shell with the span of 40m and span ratio f/L=1/4, which is simply supported at its surrounding and is subjected to uniform loading along it’s whole span. The critical load and instability regions of this shell are presented. The results show that with the increasing of the initial imperfections, the value of critical load decreased from 27% to 36%; the trend of load-displacement curve and the location of structural instability regions remain unchanged, only the shape of instability regions will change. This indicted that the effect of the initial imperfections within composite ribbed shell is far less than its influence to the single-layer shell. The steel-concrete composed ribbed shell is not sensitive to the initial geometric imperfections and shows a strong post-buckling performance.

Stability is an important measurement index of reticulated shell structure to security and reliability. Considering the temperature change, using structural buckling analysis in ANSYS, the stability of reticulated shell structure was invested. Analysis shows that stability of reticulated shell structure affected by temperature change impact; as the temperature goes down, the safety factor (stability coefficient) continually decrease. The conclusion showed that: 1) reticulated shell construction is suitable in summer; 2) Insulated curing of shell should be paid attention in cold season, and which will be useful on design, construction and use of structure.

The Impact

There are differences in each countrys design code for concrete elastic modulus that cause uncertainty in stability analysis of critical buckling load column. This paper investigates the impact of uncertainty on concrete elastic modulus for designing of critical buckling load of building column. The statistical data on materials and applied load being collected in Thailand are used together with an investigation on the uncertainty of the concrete elastic modulus in the design code from 8 countries. Finally the Monte Carlo simulation is used to find out the stability index in term of reliability index. The results show that the uncertainty of the concrete elastic modulus plays an important role in stability analysis and should be considered in the design.

As a kind of hybrid space structures, the suspendome system increases the stiffness and improves the stability of the original dome system by the appropriate use of prestressing cables. Based on the engineering application of suspendome in Tianbao Center (completed in China, 2002), the present paper concentrates on the stability performance of the suspendome with a span of 35.4m using different structural parameters, including the rise-span ratio, magnitude and level settings of initial prestressing in cables, connection rigidity and boundary support condition. Stability performances including buckling mode, critical loads and sensitivity to initial geometric imperfection are studied in detail, and contrast analyses with the corresponding singly-layer shells are carried out to study the superiorities of the suspendome over the single-layer shell. Some valuable conclusions are drawn for practical design.

Theoretical Results

The stability of a ring confined by a rigid boundary, subjected to circumferential end loads, is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The effect of initial geometric imperfections on the buckling load is determined by assuming an initial deflection configuration as a simple sine form and the critical condition was derived from equilibrium analysis. An experimental approach was designed to verify the analytical results. Comparison with other theoretical results are also made.
