Study on the Static Stability and the Ultimate Bearing Capacity of Vierendeel Latticed Shells

Article Preview

Abstract:

Studies on the static stability and the ultimate bearing capacity of vierendeel latticed shells have been carried out. The buckling modal and the whole course of instability are shown using the Finite Element Method. The ultimate bearing capacity is compared with that of the single-layer latticed shell structure. The results show that the ultimate bearing capacity of the vierendeel latticed shells is 2.87 times more than that of the single-layer lattice shell in the condition of consuming the same steel. The vierendeel latticed shell structure not only has the advantages of concision and transparency like the single layer latticed shell structure, but also has the stability and carrying capacity like double-layer latticed shell structure.
