Cable domes has been widely adopted around the world. A new tensile steel strip cable dome is proposed and a force-finding method of approaching initial shape is introduced. It is easy to be constructed by tow-lifting method without many scaffolds and connect rigid materials directly. The force-finding method of approaching initial shape is effective for the proposed structure.
