Abstract
This paper describes a newly developed adaptive cable dome in the Levi form which has the ability to alter its geometrical form and stress properties in order to adapt its behaviour to current loading conditions. This cable dome contains the sensors and active member that sense forces from the system and adjust its shape and stress state, making the structure more rigid or flexible depending upon the actual load. This system consists of forty-two tensioned cables, six compressed struts and a central strut which is designed to function as an actuator. Results of the experimental and theoretical analyses are presented.
