  • Abstract
Mechanical behavior of Suspen domes during construction is different with that in service and even more adverse because of cables introduced in the structures. By studying the actual suspen dome projects, the key construction parameters for them were extracted and tensioning mechanism of hoop cables was studied. Then according to the tensioning mechanism and the key construction parameters, a numerical model and an algorithm for the whole process of tensioning were proposed. Moreover, a case study was addressed to approve the effectiveness.
