ABSTRACT:
An earthquake resistant self-balancing dome structure is provided which employs a counter-balanced self-adjusting weight system to adjust tension in supporting cables to which the dome is attached. As ground movement, such as that caused by an earthquake, causes relative movement between the cable supports and the supported dome, the weight system operates to adjust the tensile force in the cables to bring the system into equilibrium.
