Analysis of Cable Force Loss of Prestressing Structure during Tension Construction

Abstract:

Suspen-dome structure is a new type of large-span space structure, however, cable force loss at the joint during prestressing construction becomes big issues. To solve this problem, study has been done on this issue. ANSYS finite element software is used to simulate friction at the joint and its effects on cable force distribution and overall performance of the structure. Further analysis of reduced scale model test has been done, of which the results meet well with the theoretical calculation results.
