Abstract
A “suspen-dome” structural system consisting of a thin-walled dome and a tensegric system is described, and an overview and results of vibration tests on a full-sized structure are given. The tests revealed the vibration characteristics of the suspen-dome. Close agreement between analytical results based on design information and the test results confirms that the design method used is appropriate. Effectiveness of the suspen-dome against earthquake motions, particularly vertical motions, was confirmed through elastic earthquake response analysis.
