Investigation of the Plane Model of Steel Staggered Truss System

Article Preview

Abstract:

Steel Staggered Truss System (SSTS) is a new structural system with flexible arrangement, superior performance and good economy. A plane model was established with SAP2000 and the feasibility of the plane model to study the dynamic characteristics of SSTS under horizontal earthquake was discussed through performing modal analysis and pushover analysis to the space model and the plane model of SSTS. By comparing the response of models, it showed that the plane model changed the mechanical characteristics of SSTS, and there existed errors using the plane model to research on the dynamic characteristics of SSTS under horizontal earthquake
