The photo shows a “MODEL”, a “MOCK-UP” of a “CABLEDOME”. A mock-up is used to understand the erectability of the structure and necessary steps required to put everything together. Many times a mock-up can help discovering difficult issues before it actually happens.
In the picture, we can observe there are many items used to construct this model can be adjusted manually at later stage. There is very little force in the system and these adjustments can be easily achieved. But, take a look at existing CABLEDOMEs, there are no such adjustable elements available because it is impossible to do.
If this model is used to demonstrate how to erect a CABLEDOME without turnbuckles and shoring and manual adjustments, then this is a good subject to talk about. Try again!作者:
