The form of the tensile structure

Membrane structure system

The membrane structure system consists of the membrane surface, edge rope and ridge rope, the valley rope, the support structure, the anchoring system, and the connection nodes between the parts, etc.

By support

The membrane structure is classified according to the support conditions as follows: flexible support structure system, rigid support structure system, mixed support structure system, structure diagram can be shown in the figure below:

Membrane structure buildings are classified by structure as follows:

From the structure can be divided into: skeleton membrane structure, pull-up membrane structure, inflatable membrane structure 3 forms

1. Frame SupportEd Structure

The roof skeleton consisting of steel or integrated material, in the form of the structure of the sheet ingressand, the lower support structure is stable, because the roof shape is relatively simple, the opening part is not vulnerable, and the economic benefits are high, widely applicable to any large, small-scale space.

2. Tension Pull Membrane Structure (Tension Eael Structure)

In the form of film, rope and pillar, the tension is imported into the membrane material using the rope and the pillar. In addition to practical creative, innovative and beautiful shape, but also the most able to show the spirit of the structure of the membrane. In recent years, large-scale span space is also used in the form of steel cable and compression material to form a rope net to support the upper membrane material. Because of the high construction accuracy requirements, strong structural performance, and rich expressiveness, so the cost is slightly higher than the skeleton membrane structure.

3. Inflatable membrane structure (Pneumatic Structure)

Inflatable membrane structure is the membrane material fixed around the roof structure, the use of air supply system to make the indoor air pressure rise to a certain pressure, so that the roof inside and outside the pressure difference, to resist external forces, because of the use of air pressure to support, and steel rope as auxiliary material, no beam, column support, can be more space, construction fast, high economic efficiency, However, 24-hour fan delivery operation is required, which is expensive to operate and maintain the machine.

Nowadays, membrane structures are increasingly visible in cities. Membrane structures have been applied to various architectural structures and play an integral role in our cities
