Planar truss consisting of four sloped members and one vertical member is loaded at the upper node by means of the vertical force Fz and out of plane force Fy. Assuming large deformation analysis and neglecting self-weight, determine the normal forces of the members and the out of plane displacement of the upper node uy. The verification example is based on the example introduced by Gensichen and Lumpe.
A reinforced concrete column is designed for ULS at normal temperature according to DIN EN 1992-1-1/NA/A1:2015, based on 1990-1-1/NA/A1:2012-08. The design employs the nominal curvature method; see DIN EN 1992-1-1, Section 5.8.8. The addressed column is located at the edge of a 3-span frame structure, which consists of 4 cantilever columns and 3 individual trusses hinged to them. The column is subjected to the vertical force of the precast truss, snow and wind. The results are compared with the literature.
A planar truss consisting of four sloped members and one vertical member is loaded at the upper node by means of a vertical force and an out-of-plane force. Assuming the large deformation analysis and neglecting the self-weight, determine the normal forces of the members and the out-of-plane displacement of the upper node.
A symmetrical shallow structure is made of eight equal truss members, which are embedded into hinge supports. The structure is loaded by a concentrated force and alternatively by imposed nodal deformation over the critical limit point when the snap-through occurs. Imposed nodal deformation is used in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 to obtain the full equilibrium path of the snap-through. The self-weight is neglected in this example. Determine the relationship between the actual loading force and the deflection, considering large deformation analysis. Evaluate the load factor at the given deflections.
