Nonlinear Buckling Analysis of Hoisting with Application to Long-Span Steel Truss

Abstract:

Nonlinear buckling analysis method using the finite element with application to Long-Span Steel Truss was studied is this paper. The finite element model of long-span complex steel truss hoisting was established and nonlinear buckling analysis of long-span complex steel truss hoisting for two hoisting points schemes was accomplished. The eigenvalues, eigenvalue buckling modes and nonlinear buckling analysis of two hoisting point’s scheme were analyzed. The results indicate that, the nonlinear buckling analysis method using the finite element is applicable approach to study the hoisting buckling problem, the buckling will be not occurring under hoisting stage only with gravity loads. The force status of long-span complex steel truss is improved under more hoisting point’s scheme and the lateral stability is strengthened.
