Analyses of Cable Domes With Action Members

Advances in the research on cable domes were summarized and reviewed, such as structural improvements and innovation, prestressed mode and optimize designing of cable dome structure, dynamic and wind resistance performance analysis, construction technology, model experiment and sensitivity analysis. Some topics worthy further research were proposed, including seismic property study, improvement and innovation in construction techniques and methods, fire resistance study, stiffness analysis of structures, general design methods and software. This work will provide a meaningful reference for the design and application of cable domes.

Cable Domes

Aim of this paper is to show modern lightweight structures based on tensegrity systems. Principles of tensegrity structures and cable domes are shown. Last part of this paper is demonstrated how to join simple tensegrity prisms to tensegrity slabs. These structures are very interesting from architectonical point of view, they are made from fully recyclable material – steel and consumption of material is very low. Tensegrity structures have a great potential of the development of modern civil engineering.
