This document discusses structural cable and arch systems used in architecture. It covers cables, cable-stayed structures, tensegrity structures, arches, vaults and domes. Cables are used in suspension bridges and roofs, transfer tension forces, and require anchoring and stiffening elements. Cable-stayed structures use diagonal cables to support horizontal spans in a symmetrical manner. Arches efficiently transfer compressive forces and come in forms such as semicircular, pointed, and two-hinged. Vaults and domes also resist compressive forces through their curving forms.
