Construction simulation analysis for suspend-dome structure of Pingshan Basketball Gymnasium for Universiade 2011 Shenzhen

Suspend-dome structure is adopted in Pingshan Basketball Gymnasium for Universiade 2011 Shenzhen. The suspend-dome is a prestressed structural system with the combination of rigid-flexible. Due to the less of actual projects and the lack of construction experience, the analysis of the whole construction simulation for the roof would be much important. Focused on the features of the project, considered the actual condition of the construction, the construction schedule and the tension sequence were chosen, the prestressed construction simulation analysis was carried through the infinite element calculation, the member force and deformation evolution was achieved from the analysis, which would be used to make sure the safety of the construction process. The key issues and relevant construction methods for the construction of the suspend-dome were summarized, which could be used as reference in the similar projects.
