The importance of progressive collapse analysis of structures has increased significantly
due to various structural collapses. Single-layer lattice shell structures are susceptible to …

In recent years, aluminum alloy single-layer latticed shell has been extensively used in civil
and industrial infrastructure. The elasticity modulus of aluminum alloy is low, the rigidity of …

In order to obtain stable and realistic truss structures in practical applications, it is essential
to include nodal and local buckling stability in truss topology optimization. There have been …

To promote the application of special-shaped concrete-filled rectangular steel tubular
(SCFRT) columns in high-rise residential buildings, this paper proposed innovative SCFRT …

Welded hollow spherical joints (WHSJ) have been widely used in space lattice structures.
Corrosion is inevitable in the service life of WHSJ, which significantly reduces their bending …

This paper describes experiments and analysis of the complete post-buckling behavior of
shallow geodesic lattice domes. Although individual members are straight, their geometric …

Form-finding analysis has been deeply investigated with the extensive application of
branching structures. In addition to the form-finding analysis, another important scientific …

Grid structures and branching columns have been widely adopted due to their high
structural efficiency and novel appearance. High structural efficiency must be achieved …

The friction between cable and cable-strut joints is a high nonlinear behavior which can
cause the loss of cable force and then affect the mechanical behavior of integral structure …

The existing data indicate that two-thirds of engineering accidents occur during construction
among which engineering accidents caused by scaffold collapse account for a large …
