The article considers the compliance of a rigid assembly of a steel column of a typical I-section under the loads of an eccentric-compressive load with a random eccentricity. A simplified scheme of pinching a rigid hinge is considered as well as its detailed version in which the rigid part of the rod is elaborated as a basement, foundation plate, cross-arm and anchor bolts with plates. The authors carried out numerical studies of this site using a computer complex Abaqus 2017. Analysis of the results showed that the inclusion of compliance at a sufficiently accurate numerical simulation gives the same value for compressive forces. Thus, this node can be considered rigid, and the coefficient of buckling is almost equal to the theoretical value.
This paper presents the results of a study of the stress-strain state of a geodesic dome covering the planetarium designed in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. Four design schemes were created in the SCAD with different types of node modeling. A comparative analysis of the effect of the strain capacity of the “BrGTU” type unit on the stress-strain state of the dome cover has been carried out. The results are obtained on the change in the displacements of the structure nodes and internal forces in the dome bars, with rigid and hinged mates. The option of increasing the diameter of high-strength bolts to reduce the overall deformability of the system is considered. On the basis of the obtained results, it was concluded that it is necessary to take into account the strain capacity of the semirigid connections when designing mesh steel domes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
