Study on progressive collapse demolition method of double-layer space truss
Abstract This paper conducted a demolition test of a double-layer space truss (DLST) to investigate more efficient, safe and environmentally friendly demolition methods of truss systems. The high-speed 3D displacements of representative joints and the global dynamic strain response of the structure were well collected. The internal force redistribution and load-carrying mechanisms of DLST structures during demolition were explored. The results indicate that new equilibrium states were sought in the DLST through local and global internal force redistribution. When the main force transmission members were removed, the load-carrying mechanism of the DLST underwent sudden changed, which resulted in a snap-through in the structural load-carrying capacity. The test DLST exhibited three load-carrying mechanisms in time sequence during the proposed demolition: arch action, catenary action, and beam action. The theoretical vertical load-carrying capacity provided by each load-carrying mechanism was investigated separately. Finally, a progressive collapse demolition method was presented for the engineering DLST structures subjected to certain demolition external loads.

Highlights A double-layer space truss (DLST) was tested under self-weight. Non-contact videogrammetric technique was adopted in the displacement measurement. Internal force redistributions of the tested DLST were explored. Load-carrying mechanisms of the tested DLST were identified. A progressive collapse demolition method for DLSTs was presented.
