Tensile Membrane Structures

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.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.
