Abstract Retractable structures have been widely adopted in large-sized palaestra and multipurpose buildings. Due to the particularity of retractable structure, design of this type of project must greatly differ from that of normal structure and be more difficult than the latter. Through a real structure of the retractable roof in Yellow-Dragon Sports Center, this paper presented the entire process of structural layout selection optimization and load analysis in design of retractable roof with details, which provides helpful reference for further research and development of such projects.
