Gridshells are lightweight structures that combine efficiency and attractive architecture. Due to the fact that the load is mainly carried by compression, this type of structure is susceptible to buckling, thus the stability check is essential. This study investigated how certain factors influence the stability of this type of structure and targeted reference points for the designers. A parametric study was conducted through numerical simulations, in which it was investigated the effect of the presence of a cable net, the level of prestress on the cables and the effect of initial imperfections. The results showed a benefit from the adoption of the cable net as a reinforcement, increasing considerably the buckling load, as well as the natural frequencies of the system. However, a significant reduction of the buckling load and a change in the natural frequencies with the presence of the imperfection were observed. Thus, it was concluded that gridshells are highly nonlinear structures and sensitive to imperfections, so much in the static aspect as dynamically.
