Advances　in　the　research　on　cable　domes　were　summarized　and　reviewed,　such　as　structural　improvements　and　innovation,　prestressed　mode　and　optimize　designing　of　cable　dome　structure,　dynamic　and　wind　resistance　performance　analysis,　construction　technology,　model　experiment　and　sensitivity　analysis.　Some　topics　worthy　further　research　were　proposed,　including　seismic　property　study,　improvement　and　innovation　in　construction　techniques　and　methods,　fire　resistance　study,　stiffness　analysis　of　structures,　general　design　methods　and　software.　This　work　will　provide　a　meaningful　reference　for　the　design　and　application　of　cable　domes.
