Analysis for symmetrical and asymmetrical loading of a single-span combined string steel structure

Abstract

The article consists of 3 parts. String analyzes with symmetrical loading, combined parametric analyzes of string structure with symmetrical loading and combined string structure analyzes with asymmetrical loading. Through various parameters, the influence of different parameters of the string on its behavior is revealed. The influence of prestressing in the combined string structure is also released. To assess the correctness of the results, an experimental study was carried out in the laboratory, after the structure was designed from steel elements. First published online 20 January 2023
