A Buckling Characteristics of Single-Layer Lattice Domes according to Section Shapes of Main Frames (The Existing Domestically-Produced Structural Steel is used as Main Frames)

The circular hollow section is usually used for member of main frame to carry the external load in single layer lattice dome.But, the H-shaped section may be used for member of main frame since it is convenient for attaching roof panels.Single layer lattice domes have various buckling characteristics, such as the overall buckling, the member buckling, and nodal buckling.The purpose of this study is to compare buckling characteristics of single-layer lattice domes in which the H-shaped steel section as the existing domestically-produced structural steel is used as main frames to those of domes in which a circular hollow section is used as main frames.
