Experimental Research on the Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

The Latticed Intersected Cylindrical Shell (LICS) is a new type of spatial structure. In order to investigate the mechanical properties of LICS, an octagonal structural model, valley style, was designed and constructed. The model experiment under full-span loading was carried out. By comparing the experimental results with theoretical analysis, the LICS is proved to exhibit well mechanical performance. Valley members get high stresses, especially the members near bearings. It is proved that internal forces transmit to the bearings through the valley members.
