Features: Grid structures are spatial rod systems formed by arranging members according to certain patterns and connecting them at nodes. They are currently the most widely used and rapidly developing spatial structural forms. This book is divided into four chapters: Introduction, Grid Structures, Grid Shells, and Construction of Grid Structures. It focuses on the forms, calculations, and design of grid structures, as well as the forms, analysis, and design of grid shells. It particularly elaborates on the stability of single-layer grid shells and their improvement measures. It also provides a brief introduction to grid structures made of special materials such as stainless steel grids and aluminum alloy shells. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduate students of civil engineering major in "Grid Structures" courses, and can also be referenced by master's students in structural engineering major and a broad range of engineering technicians engaged in architectural structural design and construction.
