Bearing capacity of non-linear metallic spiders used in point supported glass facades
Tóm tắt
Experimental and numerical investigations on bearing capacity of non-linear metallic spiders used in glass facades were presented. The non-linear metallic materials adopted in this study included two aluminum alloys (ZL105-T1 and ZL111-T6) and one austenitic stainless steel (AISI 302). A total of 21 spider specimens including three types of configurations were tested. Numerical simulation of the tests was conducted by virtue of sophisticated finite element (FE) models built up with ANSYS software. The test and FE predicted results were used to develop new design proposals for the spiders. Evaluation of the proposed design formulae revealed that a comparatively large safety margin would be appropriate in consideration of brittle glass panels. Finally, safety assessment of the spiders was conducted based upon a practical engineering application-the exhibition greenhouse in Beijing Botanical Garden.
