Abstract :
Cable dome is a popular spacial structure in the past two decades, because of the their innovative forms and lightweight. In this paper, the advances and existing problems in the research on cable domes, such as the selfstress modes analysis, optimal prestress design, construction schemes and process controlling technique analysis, experimental research, are introduced and discussed in detail firstly. Then some topics worthy further research are proposed. The work in this paper will provide a good reference for the application and further research of cable domes.
