This study investigates the collapse resistance of the cable net structures. Compared to
conventional structures, the analysis of the cable net structures is rather complicated due to …

Based on wind tunnel tests, this paper investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a large
span canopy roof with elliptical plan and hyperbolic paraboloid shape. The statistics of …

The study proposes the control equation of feasible pre-stresses and the corresponding
solving algorithm, and verifies three new types of rotating surface cable domes. First, the …

This paper investigates the statistics of the pressure coefficients and their peak factors in
hyperbolic paraboloid roofs that are commonly used in tensile structures. The experimental …

A cable-struts structure consists of tension-only cables and compression-only struts. The
structural rigidity comes from the pre-stress. To determine the feasible pre-stress for the …

The difficulty in innovating a prefabricated large-span ridge tube cable dome with annular
struts lies in the development of a novel connection node that can connect “rigid and …

The stiffness of cable nets is conditioned by their states of prestress. The decrease of
prestress due to creep of cables determines the serviceability and load bearing capacity of …

This paper addresses two main issues relevant to the structural assessment of buildings
subjected to explosions. The first issue regards the robustness evaluation of steel frame …

Cable-net structural design generally includes the initial state, load state, and zero-stress
state, and adjusting design variables through manual intervention is difficult to correlate …

The nonlinear dynamic behavior of saddle-form cable nets subjected to wind actions is
studied. The pressure coefficients are obtained by adjusting the recommendations of …
