THE INFLUENCE OF DAMAGES ON THE STATIC PERFORMANCE CABLE-NET STRUCTURE
Cable-net structure has many advantages such as attractive in apparent, easy constructability and pleasing aesthetics. This feature is commonly used in airport passenger terminals, exhibition centre and hotel hall. In this research, the static performance of the single layer cable-net structure with and without glass panels was investigated through the experiment. The influence of potential damages on its static behaviour of single-layer cable-net structure were also investigated in this study. Three types of damage were considered in this research which are failure of cable connector that is between two spanning cables, loss of pre-stress in cable and cable anchorage failure. The glass stiffness contribution of the cable-net structure is determine by the deflection of the cable-net structure with and without glass panels. The experimental results show that the failure in cable connector has little influence on the static performance of single layer cable-net. Major changes of deflection shown by the deflection of cable-net structure with and without glass panels when the structure is subjected to the cable pre-stress loss and cable anchorage failure.
