The topical tendencies in the development of load-bearing structures, which are weight reduction and increase of spans can be accomplished by the application of new materials in combination with structural systems where tensile stresses are dominant. Cable roofs with axially tensioned elements represent one type of these structures. From a constructional point of view and architectonical aspects, the most perspective is a pre-stressed cable net with saddle-shaped surface with a compliant supporting contour covered with reinforced film or textile membrane. But the ratio between the roofed volume and the area is unacceptable at larger spans as it causes an inexpedient increase of the heated volume. This problem can be solved by application of the saddle–shaped roofs as primary repeatable units, and by suspending their corners to a higher level cable structure thus obtaining new innovative hierarchic, inter-subordinated large–span cable roofing. These hierarchic structural modules may be combined together to produce larger roofed areas. Comparing the results with other existing long span cable structures can be concluded that material consumption of such types of structures laid in the rational material consumption area, and the ratio between the deadweight and live load of the presented structure is nearly two times more effective then that of analogous buildings at the identical span. The developed Hierarchic Cable Roofs open the opportunities to cover extremely large spans and can be used as completely or partially dismountable translucent provisional coverings for sports grounds, concert halls, parking places or covered agricultural areas
