5. 19. Buckling and geometric nonlinear FE analysis of pitched large-spanroof structure of wood

   University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Institutionen för byggteknik (BY)

   Author : Ivan Filchev; [2016]
   Keywords : wood; truss; instability; numerical analyses; bracing;

   Abstract : An arched structure provides an effective load carrying system for large span structures. When it comes to long span roof structures, timber arches are one of the best solutions from both structural and aesthetical point of view. Glulam arched structures are often designed using slender elements due to economic consideration. READ MORE
