Tensile Membrane Structure

Tensile structure is the term usually used to refer to the construction of roofs using a membrane held in place on steel cables. Their main characteristics are the way in which they work under stress tensile, their ease of pre-fabrication, their ability to cover large spans, and their malleability.A tension membrane structure is fabric structures supported by compression or bending elements, like beams, masts, or compression rings. They're often used as a roof as they are attractive, maintain great natural light, economical and can span large distances.Russian engineer Vladimir was one of the first to develop practical calculations of stresses and deformations of tensile structures, shells and membranes.
