Traditional form-finding methods usually assume that the boundary conditions of cable roofs
are fixed constraints without considering the influence of the supporting frame. However, the …

The cable-net supported façade is increasingly used in the modern buildings. In a cable-net
façade, the ends of the cables are anchored to the primary structure along its elevation, and …

The interaction between a cable net and its contour ring is investigated, regarding the
nonlinear dynamic response of the system subjected to harmonic loads or wind action …

Pre-tensioned cable net systems are being increasingly used in building façades. Due to the
geometrical nonlinearities exhibited by the cables, people have to resort to the nonlinear …

The paper is regarding to the structural dynamics of a saddle shaped cable-net structure
with two high points and two low points at the corners. The net cables are pre-stressed by …

In this work the geometric nonlinear dynamic response of saddle-shaped cable nets
subjected to uniform harmonic loads is investigated. The detection of nonlinear phenomena …

Tianjin Baodi Gym is an engineering example of suspend-dome with shallow ellipsoidal
shell with elastic restraints, supported on the lower reinforced concrete structure. The single …

A multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) symmetric cable net system with fixed cable ends under
Gaussian white noise excitation is considered. First, a dimension reduction approach based …

The purpose of this paper is to estimate the geometrically nonlinear dynamic behavior of a
saddle form cable net, using an equivalent single-degree-of-freedom model. First, a …
