Description
| Summary: | Tensile surface structures are the visual expression of an intensive rethinking of the topic of building envelopes by designers. Advances in design methods, materials, construction elements, and assembly and erection planning in the field of lightweight construction are enabling ever more exacting applications of tensile structures with envelope and structural functions, especially in roofing over large clear spans without internal support. This book discusses the fundamental influence of material manufacture and assembly in deciding the most suitable type of building or structure and its detailing in the design process. Special attention is given to the erection of wide-span lightweight structures. The construction methods used to erect the types of tensile structures are illustrated with a selection of example projects. --
