description Long-span space structures are particularly sensitive to their self-weight. In this paper, a honeycomb plate with a high strength and light weight is reliably connected to a single-layer aluminium alloy lattice shell to form a new type of combined lattice shell structure, which substantially improves the overall stiffness and stability of the lattice shell without a plate. The bending performance of the aluminium alloy honeycomb panel-beam combined grid structure (AAH combined grid structure) plays a key role in the stability of the combined lattice shell structure. Therefore, the bending performance of the AAH combined grid structure was studied through six groups of tests and refined finite element models. Then, the calculation formula for the equivalent bending stiffness of the AAH combined grid structure was obtained through a theoretical analysis. The results show that the contribution of the honeycomb structure to the stiffness of the structure is very obvious, and the proposed formula provides the theoretical basis and a practical method for the engineering design of new aluminium alloy combined lattice shell structures in the future.
