Building upon the analytical study of the structural configuration and prestress state of the drum-shaped quad-strut cable dome, we conducted further investigation into its structural configuration. By employing the nodal equilibrium equations to solve the prestress state analysis of the cable dome, we compared the effects of two different cable laying methods on the prestress state of the cable dome structure. These methods include equal length of the radial horizontal projection of the upper chord ridge cables and equal radial chord length of the upper chord ridge cables. The analysis results show that the radial length of the top chord and its corresponding radial horizontal projection length of the cable dome structure can effectively reflect the trend of the prestress state of the structural configuration. Furthermore, by using a rise-to-span ratio of 0.11 as a threshold, the cable dome configuration is categorized into the flat spheroidal structural configuration and the small hemispheroidal structural configuration. When the structure is analyzed using a small rise-to-span ratio, the difference in prestress calculations between the two structural configurations is found to be less than 10%. Additionally, the structure exhibits a more uniform distribution of prestress, with the prestress gradually increasing from the inner circle to the outer circle. However, when the rise-to-span ratio increases, the difference between the prestress calculation results of the two configurations also increases, emphasizing the need to deploy upper chord ridge cables based on equal radial chord lengths (arc lengths). The research presented in this paper provides a novel insight into the structural topological form and prestress state calculation of cable domes with this configuration.

Population constitutes the foundational element of cities, and population migration drives the transfer of production factors among urban areas. The population migration network serves as an objective representation of intercity interactions, bearing great significance for the analysis of urban network spatial structure. This study focuses on the 10 core cities within the Poyang Lake urban agglomeration. It utilizes population migration data from Tencent’s location-based big data spanning from 2015 to 2018. Employing the point-axis theory from spatial network theory and the directed weighted network theory within the complex network, the study establishes a comprehensive set of network indices and a network model for spatial structure. It investigates the dynamics of population migration networks within the urban agglomeration and considers strategies for enhancing, regulating, or guiding urban agglomeration development to strengthen its overall vitality. The findings indicate that the urban agglomeration displays distinct characteristics of an urban hierarchical sequence and demonstrates gradual improvement in its spatial network development. While network density remains relatively stable across various threshold intervals over an extended period, network connectivity remains weak. Moreover, the urban agglomeration exhibits the lowest degree of centralization, the highest network structure entropy, and limited network connectivity. Migration along the primary power axis within the urban agglomeration remains relatively stable, while the internal network of the urban agglomeration is interconnected through a “core-non-core” network, reflecting near-geographical connection characteristics. Variations in spatial structure are observed, with the spatial network structure following two modes: “weak core city + edge city” and “node city + outer network city”. The trend in network connections diversifies, resulting in both “core-edge” connections and cross-regional connections. In conclusion, the network characteristics of the urban agglomeration surrounding Poyang Lake are consolidated to aid in formulating an optimization plan for the urban agglomeration’s spatial structure. Additionally, these findings serve as a reference for studying the evolution of spatial structures in the other two urban agglomerations within the city agglomeration in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River.

Previous research has confirmed that the newly proposed pentagonal three–four strut hybrid cable dome exhibits superior static performance compared to traditional cable domes, though its dynamic characteristics still require further study. Cable domes are wind-sensitive structures, and the results of a wind-induced vibration analysis are beneficial for the selection and construction of cable domes. In this study, a finite element model of a new open-type cable dome with a span of 120 m is established. The MATLAB 2017a programming language is employed to simulate pulsating winds, followed by a nonlinear dynamic analysis to analyze the wind-induced vibrations of the structure. The reliability of the pulsating wind model is confirmed by comparing the simulated spectrum with the target spectrum. Moreover, a wind-induced vibration time history analysis is performed to obtain the node displacement and internal force of components wind vibration coefficients, aiding in the approximation of pulsating winds with average winds in a wind-resistant design. Furthermore, a parametric analysis is carried out, ranking nodes and components based on sensitivity. The result shows that the structure exhibits the strongest wind resistance when the rise–span ratio is $\mathrm{f}/\mathrm{l}=0.07$ and the thickness–span ratio is $\mathrm{h}/\mathrm{l}=0.08$. Notably, the outer upper chord node, $2\mathrm{a}$, and the inner lower chord hoop cable, ${\mathrm{H}}_1$, are identified as the most sensitive node and component within the structure, respectively. Overall, the structure demonstrates excellent wind resistance performance, and the maximum wind vibration coefficient value remains below 3.
