Basic hypothesis and nonlinear finite element equations of static analysis for rigid bracing dome were given.The cable sag of rigid bracing dome was discussing, static characteristics of rigid bracing dome and cable dome were compared, the influence of structure's parameters(as initial prestress, span, rise, etc.) was discussed.Analysis of example demonstrated that the impact of cable sag could be negligible for rigid bracing dome, the whole stiffness of rigid bracing dome was greater than that of a cable dome, and the force behavior of ridge cable was in full play.
