What is a tensile structure?
The pull structure is held together by a thick cloth or wire or cable net. The voltage that is under the support supports the entire structure. Heavy frames are not necessary and materials are relatively light, so they get easier to build. With less needed materials compared to other forms of construction, a large interior space can be built without the need for disturbing support rays and frames. Such a structure can attract dome, modeled for geodesis, or be in the shape of a cone or saddle. Buildings as large as stadiums and airport terminals were built using tension -based structural systems. Shopping centers also incorporated them, and for large tents you can also use a tensile structure, to create protective covers and shelters and cover phase. The fabric structures can cover up to 150 feet (45.72 m) across without support and structured by tensioning cables can cover even more space. Some include polyinyl chloride (PVC) polyester, polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE), ethylene tetrafluorethylene plastic and PVC glass fabric. Each is suitable for certain applications and meets specific fire and durability requirements. Many of these materials are also recyclable and increase environmentally sustainable characteristics of structures supported by voltages.
In addition to the dome, the cone structure or saddle shape may be the structure of the tension. Several mathematical principles are used in structural design, including Gaussian curvature. The curvature itself can be measured specifically and the negative value concerns the shape of the saddle, while the positive number indicates that there is a curve with a peak. When it comes to physicles of properties, the tensile is a tensile structure and all its elements are in constant balance with gravity. The failure of any small part, such as a cable or textile sheet, will lead to a chain reaction to the collapse of the structure.
The pull structure may contain most of the building or be addedo to existing buildings such as the roof section, atrium or outdoor canopy. The structure may take decades without maintenance. Design principles related to voltage construction have existed since prehistoric times. Famous architectural engineers revolutionized this concept by creating well -recognized structures at the main airports and stadiums around the world.
