Influence of Support Horizontal Stiffness on a New Type of Cable Arch Structure

Abstract:

In order to study the influence of support horizontal stiffness on a new type of cable arch structure with relatively high headroom, good architectural function and effect, mechanical arch and cable arch models with span of 60m and rise-to-span ratios of 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 are created, 5 different support horizontal stiffnesses are taken to study its influence on the mechanical performances including strength, stiffness and stability. The results show that the support horizontal stiffness has little influence on the strength and stability of this kind of cable arch structure, but the stiffness will be influenced to some extent by the support horizontal stiffness, so the support horizontal stiffness ought to be considered in the designing and analysis of the cable arch structure.
