An Introduction to Cable Roof Structures

摘要: This introduction to cable roof structures contains all the information essential design and construction of such a roof. The author surveys structural systems deals with methods static dynamic analysis, for generating wind earthquake loading nonlinear structures, calculating resistance tension anchors. In addition Professor Buchholdt explains simple hand preliminary dimensioning gives tables deflections forces in non-dimensional form various types beams some typical forms net roofs. He concludes summary his own experience relation these considers importance early cooperation between architects, consulting engineers contractors. Although this book is written designers students numerical techniques presented are equally applicable other as suspension bridges, stayed guyed masts skeletal stuctures.
