What is a membrane structure?

Membrane structure, also known as tensile membrane structure (Tensioned membrane structure), is a kind of steel structure, is based on architectural fabric, that is, membrane material as the tension body, and supporting members or cable together composed of structural system, it with its novel and unique architectural shape, good force characteristics, has become one of the main forms of large-span space structure. Membrane structure is a kind of structural system that perfectly combines building and structure. It is a spatial structure form that combines high-strength flexible film materials with support systems to form stable curved surfaces with certain stiffness and can withstand certain external loads. Its shape is free and lightweight, flame retardant, easy to make, quick to install, easy to use, safe to use and other advantages, so that it is widely used all over the world. This structural form is especially suitable for large stadiums, population corridors, sketches, public leisure and entertainment squares, exhibition venues, shopping centers and other fields.
