Recent development and applications of tubular structures in China
To meet the requirement of economic booming, a large number of mega-structures for commercial, industrial and infrastructure uses have been built in China in recent years. Tubular structures have thus been developed rapidly and used widely in such mega-structures as large span spatial structures (such as stadiums, airport terminals, station, theatre, and exhibition centre), high-rise buildings, bridges, and offshore platforms. Reliable design of these tubular structures requires a sound understanding of their behaviors under various working conditions. Considerable research has been carried out on tubular structures especially on tubular joints in China, and the achievements are valuable and encouraging. In this paper, tubular structures are classified into three large groups: truss-type structures, frame-type structures and lattice shell structures.A number of typical applications of tubular structures in China are described firstly. The latest developments on behavior study of tubular joints in China are reviewed, together with background of practical applications.Emphases are given to CHS joints, which are the most commonly used types. Research on static, seismic, and fatigue behavior of tubular joints has been addressed, as well as the performance with different details. Based on results obtained from both research and practical applications, Chinese technical specification for design of tubular structures have been built and introduced.
