The characteristics of elasto-plastic dynamic response of suspendomes under rare earthquake are investigated based on 18 illustrative structural models, and the effects caused by initial pretension, rigidity and symmetry of substructure, connection condition of abutments and rise-span ratio are analyzed. The results reveal that, for most of models, the members with residual plastic strain under rare earthquakes mainly located in the central of the upper lattice shell instead of the area near the abutments. Raising the initial pretension will contribute to significant increases in both the number and the residual plastic strain of plastic members. The elasto-plastic responses of suspendomes are more sensitive to the symmetry of substructure and the rise-span ratio of roof. An index, named as the ratio of residual ultimate bearing capacity, is defined to quantitatively evaluate the damage level of suspendome after rare earthquakes. By means of this index, it is analyzed that the ultimate bearing capacity of suspendome can keep a level of more than 90% after rare earthquake if its members are satisfied with the elasticity check under frequently-occurred earthquake in the 7-degree zone, or under fortification earthquake in the 8-degree zone．
