Abstract
A hybrid cable-truss structure has been previously utilized in the Maracana Stadium. There are two ways to design the initial prestress distribution in the hybrid cable-truss structure, taking into account the functionality of the upper and lower hoop cables. This study proposes a decomposition method for determining the form-finding of circular hybrid cable-truss structures with two different prestress distributions. The hybrid cable-truss structure is decomposed into the inner and outer cable-truss structures. The PBS (partial balance strategy) method is employed to design the prestress and shape of both the inner and outer cable-truss structures with consideration of self-weight. A detailed prestress and shape design analysis of a circular hybrid cable-truss structure with two prestress distributions is conducted, and the precision of the initial prestress design is analyzed. The illustrative example presented herein demonstrates that the proposed method, combined with the PBS method, provides a simple and accurate approach for the form-finding of hybrid cable-truss roof systems subject to self-weight.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Constructional Steel Research provides an international forum for the presentation and discussion of the latest developments in structural steel research and their applications. It is aimed not only at researchers but also at those likely to be most affected by research results, i.e. designers and fabricators. Original papers of a high standard dealing with all aspects of steel research including theoretical and experimental research on elements, assemblages, connection and material properties are considered for publication.
