Abstract:
The paper introduces the large-span cable dome structure of the National Fitness Center in Ejin Horo Banner, Inner Mongolia. A 1:10 scale cable dome model was designed. The model's mechanical performances were studied under design load after shape forming. By comparing results drawn from numerical simulation and experiment, the characteristics of static response were obtained. The influence of asymmetric live load on the structure's global static behavior was considered. This study indicates: cable dome's ridge cable stress reduces on the external load; the initial stress can be adjusted along with external load; the cable dome is a flexible space system, which is sensitive to external load. The theoretical value and the experimental value matches well under design load, which verifies the result of the theoretical calculations and the modal design. The structural safety and reliability in normal working condition is also exhibited.
