Abstract
An overview of our investigations on suspended roofs is given in (refs. 1, 2). The action of roof elements is commonly neglected when calculating inner forces and displacements for the bearing part of the suspended roof, i.e. cable network and contour beam. Joint work of the network and contour beam with roof boarding and posts and with connections located, for example, on the boarding plane yields substantial changes in the stress-strain state of the main bearing elements.
This paper discusses the joint work of network and contour beam with square and diamond-shaped panel roof elements. The results of experimental investigations are described and a method for calculating geometry of prestressed unloaded network and stress-strain state of loaded structure are presented. In the final part some data on the study of a similar tent roof are given. purchase the full-text of this paper (price £20)
