Division of construction stages.
Stage
Name
Reason
1
Hoisting emplacement
In this stage, the pin joint was subjected to vertical shear force generated by gravity.
2
Lower cable fixation
In this stage, the pin joint was subjected to horizontal shear force generated by horizontal components of active cable.
3
Out-of-plane disturbance
In the process of lifting, there might be out-of-plane disturbance. The pin joint was subjected to horizontal shear force generated by horizontal components of active cable; at the same time, the joints were subjected to out-of-plane loads due to out-of-plane disturbances.
