Abstract: The construction of cable net structures is intricate, and the construction process itself is laborious. Conventional safety control measures during the construction of cable net structures involve monitoring cable forces and deformations at specific moments during the construction steps. However, these measures do not guarantee adequate safety assurance. This paper proposes a method for the safety control of cable net structures, considering spatiotemporal changes, based on the concept of digital twins. This method enables real-time monitoring and control of the cable net construction process onsite, facilitating a comparative analysis between the mechanical and geometric information of the construction site and the real-time finite element simulation results. Such an approach ensures safety control throughout the construction process. Firstly, a twin model framework for safety control is established. Then, the methods for spatiotemporal representation, data collection, and processing at the construction site are analyzed. Finally, the proposed method is validated through its application to the Xiaotian Cultural and Sports Park project. The results demonstrate that this method can achieve real-time monitoring and control of cable net structure construction.
