Cable-stayed coverings for large-span public buildings

. Structural schemes of coverings using lightweight roof structure from modern composite materials are investigated in this paper. A comparison of two options for cable-stayed covering of a circus auditorium, one with an orthogonal mesh of cables (according to a standard design) and another one, with a mesh of cables formed by two groups of stabilizing cables are considered. The possibilities of reinforcement with composite material are analyzed. Calculation and preliminary selection of cable-stayed sections are also carried out and presented. The variations of the conditional volume with the relative sag arrows, for varying values of the coefficient qk have been investigated and shown on graphs. An optimization problem was solved and the optimal result with detailed calculations are proposed and presented in this research which enable the design of the cable-stayed coating with determination of its design characteristics. As a result, the optimum and most economical sections of the cable- stayed covering were obtained. The calculations also show the inexpediency of using a heavy roof structure for saddle cable-stayed coverings due to the exclusion of stabilizing cables from the operation with a large roof weight.
