  • ANALYSIS OF BRACE STIFFNESS INFLUENCE ON STABILITY OF THE TRUSS

    The paper is devoted to the numerical and experimental research of stability of a truss with side elastic supports at the top chord. The structure is a model of a real roof truss scaled by factor ¼. The linear buckling analysis and non-linear static analysis were carried out. The buckling length factor for the compressed top chord was calculated and the limit load for the imperfect truss shell model with respect to brace stiffness...

  • Analysis of sloping brace stiffness influence on stability and load bearing capacity of a truss

    The paper is focused on the numerical study of stability and load bearing capacity of a truss with side elastic braces. The structure is made in reality. The rotational and sliding brace stiffnesses were taken into account. Linear buckling analysis and non-linear static analysis with geometric and material nonlinearity were performed for the beam and shell model of the truss with respect to the angle of sloping braces. As a result...

  • Stability and load bearing capacity of a braced truss under upward wind loading

    The paper is focused on the numerical and experimental investigation of stability of a steel truss under upward wind loading. The structure was stiffened by elastic braces situated at the top and bottom chord. Usually the lateral (translational) brace stiffness is considered. However, the rotational stiffness of braces caused by interaction between torsional stiffness of the truss top chord and bending stiffness of the roof elements...

  • Stability and load bearing capacity of a truss with elastic braces

    Publication

    - Year 2014

    The present paper is devoted to the numerical and experimental investigations of stability of a truss stiffened by elastic braces. The model of a real roof truss scaled by factor ¼ was investigated. In the research the linear buckling and non-linear static analysis of the truss shell and beam model with geometric and material non-linearity is presented. The initial imperfections were assumed in the form of the first buckling mode....

  • 3D Buckling Analysis of a Truss with Horizontal Braces

    The present research is devoted to the study of out–of–plane buckling of a truss with horizontal braces. The truss is a model of real roof truss scaled by factor 1=4. A linear buckling and a non–linear analysis with geometric and material non–linearity were carried out. The truss buckling and limit load for different stiffnesses and number of braces are found. Numerical analysis are verified by experiment. Threshold bracing stiffness condition...
