Abstract

The main aim of the present work is to investigate the static and dynamic analysis of suspended cable roofs for halls having rectangular shapes due to wind load. The responses of nonlinear analysis are taken into consideration. The deterministic approaches require considerable analysis time and effort in relation of modeling, running, and data processing. Detailed static and dynamic analysis of cable roof networks is sophisticated and requires advanced modeling expertise. The approach can be considered as alternative to analysis in the preliminary design phase, or can be used to validate results obtained from more elaborated numerical models. This good preliminary technique was examined using several examples and the results are in good agreement with these solved using the computer program. Many rectangle cable roofs have been studied and analyzed using a computer program Sap 2000 version 14.0.0 [1]. The results are used to investigate the factors that affect the design and the response of cable suspended roofs. Also, the results, graphs and relationships form a good technique for the preliminary design of rectangle cable suspended roofs. Proposed model is illustrated with program which is mentioned before.
