Hidden Suspended Cable in Point-supported Glass Cladding and Its Engineering Application

The flexible supporting system with single hidden cable developed from the technology of single cable net can meet the architectural requirement of invisible structure.This paper introducs the fundamental concept and contemporary application of this system and expounds its main conformations,structural features and design keys,and meantime points out the emphases of further research.The flexible supporting system with single hidden cable has enriched structure types of architectural glass,so it is a novel and practical architectural supporting system with broad and bright future.
