The Aseismic Characteristics for Single Layer Latticed Shell of Hyperbolic Paraboloids

The dynamic characteristics and seismic response of single layer latticed shell of hyperbolic paraboloid are studied in this paper. The influence of the stiffness of periphery members at shell, ratio of height to span and span is analyzed. It is presented that the response due to horizontal earthquake is larger than one due to vertical earthquake. Some advice on aseismic design of single layer latticed shell of hyperbolic paraboloid are given in the paper.
