The effect of cross-shaped bonds on the condition of cylindrical mesh shells
Incoming article date: 20.11.2023The influence of the location of reinforcing bonds on the general condition of cylindrical mesh shells is investigated. Cruciform core elements made of tubular profiles were used as reinforcing structures. The number of reinforcing elements is 8 (4 on each panel). Opposite nodes of adjacent faces are connected by cross-shaped elements in the direction of the arc. The expediency of placing reinforcement elements inside each of the two middle panels and at a distance of one panel from the middle of the length is checked. As a result of the conducted studies, the regularities of the stress-strain state and dangerous areas of the shell were determined. When using cruciform joints, a decrease in the forces in the elements and a decrease in the movements of the nodes were revealed. A redistribution of internal force factors and a decrease in the number of typical sizes of elements were recorded. A rational scheme of reinforcement of the structure is obtained.
