In recent years, the topic of progressive structural collapse has received more attention around the world, and the study of element importance is the key to studying progressive collapse resistance. However, there are many elements in truss structur...
Structural fault diagnosis is an important subject for ensuring the normal use of structures. More test data will help to improve the accuracy and reliability of structural fault diagnosis. Therefore, a structural fault detection algorithm based on s...
A structure does not reach a stable state during the construction process, and hence its structural reliability is low. In order to ensure the safety of the construction process and final structural quality, it is necessary to analyze the safety and...
Tessellating a periodic unit cell of lattice material to fill a design space in complex geometries has many challenges arising from their computer-aided design (CAD) modeling intricacy. A solution to this difficulty is the use of trimmed micro-truss...
To clarify the shear lag effect and flexural performance of glass fiber-reinforced polymer (GFRP) composite truss web girder bridges and verify the feasibility of substituting steel truss webs with GFRP members, a refined finite element (FE) model wa...
With increasing of the size of spatial truss structures, the beam component will be subjected to the overall motion with large deformation. Based on the local frame approach and the geometrically exact beam theory, a beam finite element, which can ef...
Typically, the upper part of the roof a gymnasium building is a radial inverted triangular truss structure, and the lower part is a cable structure. They are connected by vertical braces to form a self-balancing structural system. The whole roof is s...
A space solar power station (SSPS) has become a huge potential candidate to provide abundant and clean electrical energy for terrestrial users by collecting and converting solar power in space. In this paper, an innovative two-layer ring truss-based...
In the development process of intelligent construction, the safety assessment of prestressed steel structures as an important research direction has become more and more attractive in academia. Digital twins (DTs) is the key technology to realize int...
To facilitate the first application of the novel concrete-filled built-up K-joints with different brace sections in truss bridges, the present paper aims to determine their practicability through a comparison with integral joints. First, a structural...
Bars are significant load-carrying components in engineering structures. In particular, L-bars are typical structural components commonly used in truss structures and have typical irregular asymmetric cross-sections. To ensure the safety of load-carr...
The tension cable-supported power transmission structure (TC-PTS) is a new type of power transmission structure suitable for mountainous terrain, and is sensitive to wind load. In this regard, a nonlinear finite element analysis model of wind-induced...
As a complex structural form capable of simultaneously bearing upper-deck highway traffic, lower-deck highway traffic, and rail transit, the curved chord stiffened double-deck continuous steel truss bridge is distinct from traditional single-deck bri...
To investigate the impact of various compartment partition plate connection methods within a shield utility tunnel on the mechanics behavior of the connecting nodes and the overall structural integrity, this study examines and simulates three distinc...
