Abstract:
Cable dome structure is a large-span spatial structure with high structural efficiency, which is suitable for large-span roof structure. In order to compensate the weaknesses of traditional cable dome and enrich cable dome structure schemes, a new type of cable dome, ridge tube cable dome with annular struts, was proposed by the authors of this paper. Compared with the traditional cable domes, the structure avoids the disadvantage of ridge cable easy relaxation, has greater whole rigidity and good static performance, and relatively less construction difficulty. The cable dome structure and the whole rigidity are mainly determined by the prestress distribution, so force-finding analysis is the key to the new cable dome research. In this paper, the redundant constraint was replaced by constraint force, and according to the node equilibrium relationship and considering self-weight, the prestress distribution calculation formulas of the ridge tube cable dome with annular struts were deduced. The calculation method reduced the operation cost, made the horizontal force and vertical force transfer in the internal structure clear, and made the calculation convenient for engineers both by hand and by computer. Simulation results using ANSYS finite-element iteration method verified the accuracy of the calculation formulas. Using derived calculation formulas, the prestress calculation table of the ridge tube cable dome with annular struts, with self-weight, and under different constraint force level was obtained to provide reference for engineering design and study the mechanical properties.
