Tensile Roof Details

Tensile structures are the most common type of thin shell structures.

Tensile roof details.

Tensile structure systems is a boutique firm in the tensile membrane structure industry. A tensile structure is a structure elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. Most tensile structures are supported by some form of compression or bending elements such as masts compression rings or beams. A tensile membrane structure is most often used as a roof as they ca.

We specialize in the design build of custom tensile structures fabric facades tensile roof systems and shade sails. Despite their very high tensile performance 1mm thick membrane skins are by their nature susceptible to vandalism. We have over 30 years experience in the design engineering and manufacturing of tension fabric tensile membrane structures. Hot product hot project customize tensile structures for bleacher spectator grandstands roofs.

Their main characteristics are the way in which they work under. A tensile structure is a construction of elements carrying only tension and no compression or bending. Material options for rope fittings the tensile structures rope fittings come in a variety of finishes and material options including. Tensile structure is the term usually used to refer to the construction of roofs using a membrane held in place on steel cables.

Designs have to be such that in the event of the failure of one or more membrane fields within a roof the whole system does not collapse and heavy ele ments such as masts are arrested by a fail safe system. These type of structure is commonly found in sports facilities warehousing and storage buildings and exhibition venues.
