Abstract
Seismic response and failure mechanism of single-layer latticed domes with steel columns and braces as substructures are studied using incremental dynamic analysis in the paper. The member models considering cyclic buckling and low cycle fatigue of steel are used in the analyses. The results show that the seismic responses will be greatly influenced by the material low cycle fatigue under strong earthquakes in different ways for the domes with different parameters. Two typical failure modes are found for the structures: one is the failure of domes and the other is the failure of both the dome and the substructure. Influence of rise-span ratio of domes, brace sections and column sections in substructures on the ultimate PGA and yielding PGA are studied, and the optimized values of the parameters are suggested for structural designing.
