Abstract:
Loop cable tensioning method was adopted in the construction of the badminton gymnasium for 2008 Olympic Games. Due to the processing and installation difficulty, the prestress loss of cable-strut joint is much more than the design value causing the unbalance of cable forces. In this paper, by coupling the degrees of freedom of loop cable joint and brace strut lower joint and adjusting stiffness spring element, the frication sliding of loop cable is simulated. This method can be used in finite element model to simulate accurately the value of the prestress loss in loop cable during tensioning process. Furthermore, the influence of the prestress loss on internal forces, deformation and the overall stability is studied. The study shows that the prestress loss results in wide-range change of the inner force of radial tension bars; non-uniform of inner force of steel shell; narrow change of the overall displacement, non-uniform of the displacement of the same loop members; about 20% decline of overall stability.
