Shaking table tests and theoretical analysis were conducted to study the dynamic performance of cable net facade with consideration of glass panels under earthquake. Firstly,the dynamic response of cable net faade under earthquake was investigated with shaking table test. Then the working mechanism of glass panels in coordination with cable net was proposed. Accordingly,a numerical simulation model of glass panel's working in coordination with cable net was built for the dynamic analysis.And then the seismic response was analyzed with this model theoretically. The study indicates that the seismic response of the cable net with glass panels on most occasions is mainly decided by the symmetric modes,and the first vibration mode is dominant. The damping of cable net facade is mainly decided by glass panels. And it is very good for cable net faade to restrain its dynamic response under earthquake.
