Abstract: The steel spherical hinged support has the advantages of high loading capacity,reliable transfer of loads, flexible rotation with universal hinge,and allowance of large displacement and rotation angle. However,supports are in complex forced states subjected to various load combinations,which leads to the significant influence on inte- gral structural safety. Taking the large-tonnage complex steel spherical hinged support of T2 of Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport for example,the full-scale experiments and finite element simulation analysis were carried out and the rotation behavior of the support subjected to axial compressive load was studied. The rotation stiffness model of support subjected to axial compressive load was proposed for the refinement analysis of integral structure. The results show that the results of experiments and finite element simulations are similar,and the development tendency of stress and deformation of them is coincident. In addition,the actual rotational moment is less than that prescrip- tive by code and the rotation behavior is satisfied for the requirements of code and design.
