CABLE DOME SYSTEM FOR LARGE-SCALE LIGHT-WEIGHT ROOF STRUCTURE AND EXECUTION METHOD THEREOF

摘要

Disclosed is a shelter structure using a saddle-shaped cable dome system for a large-span, lightweight roof membrane. The structure uses the curvatures of a saddle surface, combined with two orthogonal cable nets separated by a set of compression struts, to create an efficient structural system confined by an edge ring loaded primarily in compression.
