Dominant Modals of Wind-Induced Vibration Response for Spherical Kiewitt Cable Dome

Correlation coefficients of mode shape between higher frequency modes and lower frequency modes are given. Then 17 high modes were initially selected as the dominant high modes in the analysis of wind-induced response, and cumulative mode correlation was used to judge the rationality of the method of selecting dominant high modals, so dominant modals of wind-induced response analysis are constructed. Based on these, the wind-induced vibration response of spherical Kiewitt cable dome was analyzed in frequency domain using CQC method. Through analyses of computational results, it is found that the selecting method of dominant modals by using the mode correlation coefficient can be applied in frequency domain analysis for wind-induced vibration response of cable dome structures. If the first 100 modals are considered into the analysis, the computational results obtained will be high precision.
