ANALYSIS OF CABLE DOME UNDER VARIOUS INITIAL CONDITIONS

The paper focuses on the numerical analysis of Levy cable dome under two various initial conditions. Experimental device of cable dome is equipped with 7×7 wire ropes with diameter ɸ 6 mm. Nevertheless, it is completely changed for 1×19 wire ropes single strand with diameter ɸ 4 mm. The interchange could lead to creation of more adaptive structure for further static and dynamic analyses. Furthermore, it is essential to stress out that force gauges will improve accordingly.
