Structures Stability: Basic Concepts and Fundamentals

Mehr zum Buch

The book presents a novel design for a segmentally prestressed cylinder-shaped lattice megastructure, focusing on the innovative cable traction system. It analyzes the static properties and stability of the structure compared to a version without the cable system. Key factors such as lift, span, and prestress are explored, along with the impact of buckling on overall stability. The proposal to replace fastening resistant bars with buckling resistant bars is discussed, demonstrating how this design can enhance the structural integrity and performance of the megastructure.
