Failure Prediction of Spatial Wood Structures: Geometric and Material Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis
The purpose of this study is to investigate spatial wood structures, trace their response on equilibrium paths, identify failure modes, and predict the ultimate load. The finite element models of this study are based on the Crafts Pavilion dome (Triax) in Raleigh, North Carolina, and the Church of t...
