Abstract:

In this paper a new type of suspension membrane structure combined with a cable net is proposed, in which the supporting struts are arranged between the membrane surface and the cable net, called the Strut Type of Cable Net Membrane Structures. The validity of the employed structural system is verified by testing an experimental model under initial prestressing load as well as wind and snow loads.
