In this paper, different destruction forms of spatial grid structure are analyzed based on LS-DYNA. The key members of structure are studied and the collapsing processes of spatial grid structure caused by different failure members are simulated numerically. By comparing the results of numerical analysis, divisional design method is proposed based on the alternate path method (AP method). The divisional design method can improve resistance to progressive collapse obviously and is of certain reference value for engineering.

Under Construction

The temperature of spatial structures under construction can have a significant non-uniform distribution induced by intense solar radiation. This temperature distribution affects the component assembly and results in closure difficulties, potentially causing safety hazards. A spatial grid structure model was designed and subjected to temperature field test under sunlight to study the temperature distribution of the structure and for comparison with numerical simulation methods. The distribution characteristics and the time-varying laws were analyzed based on the test data. Then, the ray-casting algorithm was introduced to analyze the shadow influence between members, so that the temperature distribution of the model was simulated accurately, which was verified by the test data. The results show that the spatial grid structure had an obvious non-uniform temperature distribution, with a maximum temperature rise of 16 °C when compared with ambient temperature and a maximum temperature difference between members of 11 °C. The variation laws were gained both from the test and the numerical simulation. The numerical simulation method proposed herein can be used to calculate the shadow distribution and the temperature field of the structure effectively. The research methods and conclusions can provide valuable references for thermal design, monitoring, and control of spatial grid structures.

Abstract The present work is aimed at studying the progressive collapse resistance of the terminal building of Zhongchuan Airport in Lanzhou, China, which is a long-span curved spatial grid structure with main trusses. Firstly, the finite element model was built using MSC.Marc software. The alternate load path method (AP method) was used to simulate the initial failure of component. An improved method of zoned concept judgment and sensitivity analysis was proposed to determine the key components. Then, the initial failure components were removed individually on the course of analyzing. The responses of remaining structure were calculated using nonlinear dynamic analysis method. According to the results, the structure has a strong ability of resisting progressive collapse, though the structural responses are significant when removing the concrete filled steel tubular column directly supporting the roof at cantilever end. The maximum vertical displacement reaches 10 m. Moreover, the proposed method can avoid omitting the key components having significant influence on structural progressive collapse resistance. In addition, the influences brought by the cross-sectional sizes of chord and web members were investigated through conducting parametric analysis. The research can provide references for the structural optimization and safety control of similar long-span spatial structures.

This paper presents the innovative use of hot-rolled thickness-tapered mill products, longitudinally profiled (LP) plates, for the seismic performance of bridge bents of single and portal framed piers. The study involves the inelastic cyclic testing and numerical analysis of tested beam-columns and portal frames in order to evaluate the effects of tapering ratios of LP plates, penetration of yielding, and number of locally buckled panels on their structural ductility. A structural design method is proposed for the portal frames having LP panels under cyclic loadings.
