Abstract
In order to investigate the collapse mode of double-layer space trusses, the whole collapse process is simulated by the explicit finite element methods. The calculation results indicate that horizontal earthquake and vertical earthquake waves will lead to two typical collapse modes of the structure. The collapse mode of the structure under horizontal earthquake are mainly strength failure, which is characterized by the failure of members connected to the columns; the collapse mode of the structure under vertical earthquake are mainly dynamic instability, which is characterized by the V shape deformation. The analytical results agree with the experimental results.
