Custom Tension Fabric Structural Carport Menbrane for Stadium / Airport

Custom Tension Fabric Structural Carport Menbrane Stadium Airport US-EU Australia Standard

Membrane structure is a structural system that combines building and structure. It uses high-strength flexible film materials and auxiliary structures to generate a certain pre-tensioning stress inside in a certain way, and form a certain spatial shape under stress control as a covering structure Or the main body of the building, and has enough rigidity to resist the action of external load, a narrow structure type.

Membrane structure is a new type of architectural structure developed in the middle of the 20th century. It breaks the model of pure linear architectural style. With its unique beautiful curved shape, the combination of simplicity, liveliness, rigidity and softness, strength and beauty gives people The refreshing feeling also provides the architect with greater imagination and creative space. Membrane structure has a strong sense of the times and representativeness. It is a multidisciplinary cross-application engineering integrating architecture, structural mechanics, fine chemical engineering, material science, and computer technology. It has high technical content and artistic appeal. Its curved surface It can be changed arbitrarily with the architect's design needs. Combined with the overall environment, a landmark image project has been constructed, with strong practicability and a wide range of applications. It can be applied to large-scale public facilities, such as the roof system of stadiums, airport halls, exhibition centers, shopping centers, parking lots, platform facilities, etc. It can also be applied to leisure facilities, industrial facilities, entrance corridors, landmark or landscape buildings, sketches, etc.

 Advantages of Tensile Membrane Structures
1. Flexible Design Aesthetics
Virtually unlimited designs of distinctive elegant forms can be realized because of the unique flexible characteristics of architectural membrane. Also, fewer support columns create more functional, aesthetically pleasing spaces.
2. Outstanding Translucenncy
In daylight, the membrane's translucency offers soft diffused naturally lit spaces reducing interior lighting costs. At night, the artificial lighting creates an ambient exterior luminescence.
3. Shortened Construction Schedules
Incorporating the most modern construction techniques, large fabricated membrane panels can be installed quickly to shorten installation schedules. Likewise, fabric removal can be accomplished easily.
4. Cost Beneifits
Lightweight structures can be a more cost effective solution than traditional building materials offering building owners reduced costs. Materials, such as photo-catalytic membranes, can help prevent temperature rise as well as reduce maintenance costs due to their self-cleaning properties.
5. Long Span Structures
Lightweight membrane is a cost-effective solution that requires less structural steel to support the roof, enabling long spans of column-free space.
6. Earthquake Resistant
Lightweight tensile membrane structures bear less building load than traditional roofing materials and the membrane's elasticity offers further earthquake resistance.
 
Classification:
The architectural structure of the membrane structure is colorful and ever-changing. According to the support method, it is divided into an inflatable membrane structure, a tensile membrane structure and a skeleton support membrane structure.
1. Skeleton membrane structure
The roof skeleton made of steel structure or integrated material is stretched above the membrane structure, and the lower support structure has high stability. Due to the simple roof shape, the opening is not easy to be restricted, and it has high economic benefits. It is widely applicable For any large and small space.
2. Tensile membrane structure
It is composed of membrane material, steel cable and pillar, and uses steel cable and pillar to introduce tension into the membrane material to achieve a stable form. In addition to practicing creative, innovative and beautiful shapes, it is also the most structural form that can demonstrate the spirit of membrane structure. Large-span spaces also mostly use steel cables and compressed materials to form a steel wire mesh to support the upper membrane. Due to high construction accuracy requirements, strong structural performance, and rich expressive power, the construction cost is slightly higher than the skeleton membrane structure.
3. Inflatable membrane structure
The inflatable membrane structure is to fix the membrane material around the roof structure. After the indoor air pressure is raised to a certain pressure by the air supply system, the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the roof is generated to resist the external force. Because the air pressure is used for support, and the steel cable is used as an auxiliary material , Without any beam and column support, it can get more space, quick construction and high economic benefit, but it needs to maintain the 24-hour blower operation, which is higher in the cost of continuous operation and machine maintenance costs.
