The Seismic Damage Investigation and Phenomenon Analysis of Space Grid Structures in Lushan Ms 7.0 Earthquake

Article Preview

Abstract:

People remained optimistic about the safety of the space grid structures, because the seismic damages of space grid structures were quite rare and rather light. However, two space grid structures got damaged in 2013 Lushan Ms 7.0 earthquake. The two structures are the double-layer reticulated shell structure and flatbed grid structure, namely Lushan Gymnasium and Lushan Middle School Gymnasium respectively. This paper briefly reviews the seismic damage phenomena of grid structures in historical earthquakes, and then focuses on the two damaged space grid structures in Lushan earthquake. The reason why the two space grid structures got damaged are derived from the force state analysis of the rods, ball joints and bearings. Finally, we come up with the effective advice for the seismic design and construction of the space grid structure.
