Abstract
The erection process of long-span spatial structures is significantly nonlinear which is often accompanied by variations in boundary condition and material property. Many researchers have conducted investigations on construction simulation of complex structures. But few investigate influence of erection process on buckling behavior of structures in service. A method for estimating the influence was proposed. The reliability and accuracy of this method was validated. Then three kinds of structures were analyzed to estimate influence of erection process. The results indicate that some kinds of structures are sensitive to erection process. Influence of erection process on buckling capacity should be considered appropriately.
