Abstract:

Single layer two-way grid shell with in-plane and out-of-plane tension members is a new type of single-layer latticed shell roof. This study treats the effects of tension member installation on the buckling load and strength of a single layer two-way grid cylindrical shell roof by the numerical method. The tension members are installed to stiffen the rigidity of a single layer two-way grid shell roof and improve its stability behavior. Tension member installation and placement pattern is focused as both diagonal members of two-way grids and out-of-plane stiffened members in a cylindrical surface. The diagonal member and the out-of-plane member are used to increase the in-plane and the out-of-plane rigidity of a single layer two-way grid shell, respectively. The tension member placement pattern, the load distribution patterns, the initial imperfections and the initial axial force are considered for the numerical calculation parameters. It is confirmed by the numerical analysis that the tension members in out-of-plane and diagonals caused the increase in the buckling and strength of two-way grid shell.
