Abstract:Large-span connected trusses in high position of a connected structure are analyzed by pseudo excitation method based on solving absolute displacement in ANSYS harmonic response analysis program,considering vertical uniform and wave-passage earthquake excitations.The results showed that the coefficients of vertical earthquake action of large-span truss in high position are larger than the coefficients of large-span roof truss provided by national code for seismic design of buildings,and the amplitudes of the coefficients of vertical earthquake action may be increased by 50% in average.The axial forces of members of large-span truss have been decreased when considering the wave-passage effect,so the vertical wave-passage effect can be ignored in structure design.
