Prestressing and loading tests on shanghai pudong intern ational airport terminal

摘要

The full-scale truss composed of arch-beam and cable used in the roof structure of Shanghai Pudong International Airport Terminal has been tested in the stages of prestressing and loading conditions respectively.Linear and nonlinear analytic models were established and numerical simulation was performed,which give good agreement with the test results.Both the test and analysis show that the linear theory has sufficient accuracy to indicate the behavior of the roof structure under static loading.
