Abstract:

Spoke tensile structure developed from bicycle wheel spokes based on spoke wheel principle, this system with beautiful shape and reasonable force is often used for large-span space structure.

According to different roof shapes, the spoke tensile structure is divided into inner concave-shaped and outer convex-shaped. Outer convex structures were proposed for a simplified theoretical calculation method to analyze the structure stress characteristics. Spoke tensile structures arrangement is flexible, through study on the outer convex structural system extension means, the structural forms is varied and expanded, and ultimately get dozens of forms such architecture.

Meanwhile, the structural members display architectural beauty, and achieve the perfect combination of architecture and structures. Outer convex structural system mechanical performance were theoretical derivation and numerical computation, and then study the force nature of such forms.
