Abstract
The aim of this work is to study the static response for steel cantilever roof stayed with cables used as a stadium roof due to wind steady state using ASCE 7-10 code. The best configuration for the model is generated using a FORTRAN program constructed by the author [1] to reach for the best arrangement of cables and cantilever space trusses that gives the lowest deflection and stresses in the structure. Then, the static analysis for the structure is carried out taking into account some study parameters depending upon where to attach the lower cable, the inclination of the roof, changing the panels’ length and height and the initial tension in cable elements. The analysis is carried out using a FORTRAN program constructed by the author [2] based on the minimization of the total potential energy by the conjugate gradient technique and checked using SAP2000 program.
