Abstract: For large-span spatial structures, we have been committed to exploring new effective construction methods to avoid the drawbacks of traditional construction methods. This study proposes an efficient and cost-effective ...

Abstract: A beam string structure is an efficient hybrid system comprising beams, cables, and struts. This study proposes an active beam string structure that adapts to external loading for deflection control, achieved by replacing ...

Abstract: Continuous cables are widespread in various fields, and mechanical analysis is an important issue in their application. The structural responses of frictional continuous cable systems under external loads are related to ...

Abstract: Prestressed structures have gained popularity in large-span buildings due to their great spanning capacity and light self-weights. This kind of structure is normally subjected to multiple types of loads, such as temperature ...
