Analysis of the influence of geometrical imperfections on the equivalent load stabilizing roof truss with lateral bracing system

The paper is focused on the numerical analysis of the stability and load bearing capacity of a flat steel truss. The structure was supported by elastic lateral braces. The translational and rotational brace stiffness was taken into account. The linear buckling analysis were performed for the beam and shell model of the truss. The nonlinear static analysis were conducted for the structure initial geometric imperfections. As a result the buckling load and the limit load depended on brace stiffness was obtained. The reactions in elastic braces were compared to the stabilizing forces calculated on the basis of actual code requirements.
