Compression Ring Design
Compression Ring Design
(OP)
I have a roof structure shaped like an octoganol pyramid (8 sides coming to a single point in the center). Total clear span is to be about 200'. I am thinking of using steel joists/trusses come to the center, and sit on a compression ring.
Anyone got any tips on the design/analysis or know of any good references to look at?
