Finite Element Analysis on Frame Structure of Light Steel Temporary Buildings

Abstract:

Light steel temporary building is commonly used in the construction site, with advantages on simple structure, repeat used and small deadweight. For light steel temporary structure building there are still not enough researches on the mechanical properties and mechanism of action, and there are still not enough relevant standards and requirements to conduct the design and construction of the buildings. In order to precede to theoretical study on frame structure of light steel temporary buildings a method by Finite Element Analysis was proposed. This method is based on FEA software, Ansys. Using this method a monolayer frame structure and a two-story frame structure and a trilaminar frame structure model were analyzed. The calculation results of horizontal displacements under design loads by FEA were obtained and discussed.
