Cable is widely used in the actual project of prestressed steel structure for its mechanical properties can be fully used. Saddle-shaped cable net is a new type of large-span prestressed structure, but there is little study on the impact of different cable types on the mechanical properties of saddle-shaped cable net during the construction. In order to meet the thought of integration of design and construction, a finite element model of saddle-shaped cable net has been established. The four types of cables such as semi-parallel steel tendon cable, steel wire rope cable, steel strand cable and full-locked coil rope are chosen. The impact on mechanical properties of the structure was analyzed by different cable types.
