An Investigation on the Effect of Design Parameters on Behabior of Prestressed Ring-Shaped Steel Structures, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Esmaeil Purestekanchi, Homayoon (Supervisor)
Abstract
A tensile-compression ring is derived from the spoke wheel principle. The wheel is one of the greatest inventions in mankind. The use of the wheel has developed through time. Engineers found out that the use of the spoke wheel as a roof structure provides many benefits. With the spoke wheel principle a lightweight, cost-efficient roof structure can be made. In recent years the spoke wheel principle has also been applied for oval shaped roofs in order to increase the application of the principle. An example is the use of the roof structure for football stadia. The problem is that the spoke wheel principle will only work at full extend when its shape is completely circular. The question rises...
