Abstract
According to the deformation and movement requirements of the FAST reflecto r, a multi-purpose analysis, including the load-bearing behavior, deformati on, construction costs of the reflector supporting structure and its model, is presented in this paper. The advantages and disadvantages of steel and aluminum alloy structures are also discussed and compared through detailed design calculations under load-bearing capacity and normal working conditio ns.
