Abstract:
      Cable dome is a new type of long span structure which was realized by Geiger after developing Fuller's idea of tensegrity. On the base of studying the class of framework, determination of prestress and mechanism displacement model, the new conception of unit total feasible prestress is provided and the rule of stability is analyzed. Program has been developed to calculate different styles of cable domes and some useful conclusion is obtained.
