The Effect of Section Optimization on the Double Nonlinear Global Stability of Latticed Shell

Abstract:

In order to grasp how the sectional sizing optimum design imposes effect on the global stability of latticed shell, with an example of K6 single-layer reticulated shell whose span is 60 meters and vector height is 6 meters, the impact of different ways in rods grouping and valuing sectional size on bars buckling discipline and mechanical performance was analyzed. Factors like the strength and slenderness ratio of members, local and overall stability of structure are entirely taken into account to guarantee the accuracy of the analysis results. The results show that optimum design of sectional sizing on single-layer latticed shell can reduce the steel consumption, change the buckling discipline and improve the ultimate stable bearing capacity of structure, but simultaneously it would bring about a smaller deformation, and no significant early warning of damage comes up when structural instability failure occurs.
