Static Behavior Analysis of a New Space Beam-String-Structure with Outer Truss Torus

Article Preview

Abstract:

The development and engineering applications of beam-string-structure are introduced and a new space beam-string-structure with outer truss torus is proposed. The new structural system is to reduce the space occupied by roof structure and could be laid by the rigid roofing material easily. Three types of annular tensile cable-truss structure were given. Sunflower-patterned space beam-string-structure was taken as an example and its static behavior under full-span load and half-span load was analyzed. The efect of prestress level on static behavior of the structure was studied. The results will provide a reference for a further design and project application of such structure.
