MAIN STEPS OF THE ANALYSIS
1. Truss arch and cable net topology generation (Initial shape)
2. Form finding of the cable net with constant cable forces (Theoretical shape)
3. Calculation of the stress-free lengths of the cables
4. Determination of the construction shape (prestress+dead load)
5. Load analysis (prestress, dead load, snow load, wind load)

CONCLUSIONS
By the help of the developed procedures, arch supported tensile roofs with block and tackle suspension system can be analysed. The developed procedures converge in every step of the analysis.
The numerical results show that the block and tackle suspension system reduces radically the in-plane bending moments of the supporting arches.

QUESTIONS
How much can the bending moment of the arches be decreased? How do the tangential and out-of-plane movements of the pulleys and the friction affect the elimination of bending moments?
Can the cable net be prestressed during construction by tensioning the suspension cables only?
What effect does the prestress level have on the behaviour of the structure?
What effect does the distance of the upper and lower pulleys have?
