Structural Design of Cable Net Wall

Sa？etak Structural design of cable net wall (CNW) with vertically pretensioned cables is used to give brief overview of basic structural performances of these fa？ades and to elaborate the methodological specifies of their design. We compared results of the two applied approaches in modelling: the integral model with main load-bearing structure included, taking into account real interaction at zones of glazing supports; the simplified model with sequentially modelled cable, and springs of adequate stiffness, placed at points of cable anchorages, as simulation of interaction. Benefits, prerequisites for the application of these models and consequences they make on behaviour of glass fa？ade and entire structural system were analysed
