Title: Type Selection Design of Support Truss System in Curtain Wall of Sightseeing Hall
Abstract: In order to be satisfied with the aesthetic property and permeability required by architectural design,type selection analysis for support truss system with 12 meters height in curtain wall of sightseeing hall were carried out. The FEM software SAP2000 was employed for the comparing computations of steel truss and cable truss. The calculating results showed the stress ratio and displacements of the above two type trusses were satisfied with design codes. Under the given wind case,the quake case and the combined load cases,the stress ratio of the chord members in the steel truss is greater than the cable truss,the stress ratio of the web members in the steel truss is less than the cable truss,and the displacements of cable truss is greater than steel truss. Considered the values of the stress ration and displacements of the two types of truss,the cable truss is chosen to be used as the support system of curtain wall of the sightseeing hall.
