Direct Estimation of Critical Load for Single-Layer Reticulated Domes with Semi-Rigid Joints
Numerical model of a bolt-ball joint system is established using software ANSYS and verified through experiments. Based on the bendingrotation curves of the bolt-ball joints obtained through numerical simulation, a finite element model of single-layer reticulated domes with bolt-ball joint system is established using nonlinear beam element with end spring elements in software ANSYS. The analyses of the domes are carried out with different parameters including bending stiffness, ratio of rise to span, rotation-stiffness, ball size, asymmetric load distribution, tube section, support condition and initial imperfection. Several key parameters having influence on the load carrying capacity of a semi-rigidly jointed single-layer reticulated dome are thus identified. Finally, formulas are established for direct estimation of critical loads of semi-rigidly jointed single-layer reticulated domes under symmetric and asymmetric loading conditions.
