Study on Buckling-Characteristics of Single-Layer Latticed Domes subject to Initial Imperfection (I) (Part I In the case of Rigid-Joint)

단층래티스돔의 좌굴특성에 미치는 형상초기부정에 관한 연구 (I) (제I보 강접합의 경우)

The geometrical initial imperfection is generally described that a dome digeresses from ideal shape. In actual domes the mode and amplitude for initial imperfection appear variously and affect buckling-strength sensitively. This study investigates the buckling characteristics of single-layer latticed domes with triangular network subjected to initial imperfection. Additionally, this study is to get the data that are to formulate the general equation taking initial imperfection into consideration.
