Features: This book systematically and concisely describes the systems, design calculations, and construction methods of cable-suspension structures, as well as construction issues such as applying pretension to the cable-suspension system. It first introduces the commonly used cable-suspension structures and their selection principles. Then, it separately explains their analytical calculation methods and finite element analysis. Subsequently, it elaborates on seismic response analysis and wind-induced vibration analysis. Finally, it covers the structural and construction key points of cable-suspension structures. The book includes the following types of cable-suspension structures: single-layer cable systems, prestressed double-layer cable systems, prestressed saddle-shaped cable grids, reinforced cables and transversely reinforced single-layer cable systems, cable-arch systems and cable-string systems, composite cable-suspension structures, suspended thin shells and membrane structures, suspended and cable-stayed hybrid structures, and also introduces the application of cable-suspension structures in glass curtain walls and glass skylights.
