A membrane structure that is placed in tension and stabilized by the pressure of compressed air.

An air-supported structure that uses a net of cables in tension by the inflating force to restrain the membrane from developing its natural inflated profile.

A pneumatic structure consisting of a single membrane supported by an internal air pressure slightly higher than normal atmospheric pressure, and securely anchored and sealed along the perimeter to prevent leaking.

A pneumatic structure supported by pressurized air within building elements, which are shaped to carry loads in a traditional manner, while the enclosed volume of building air remains at normal atmospheric pressure.

Required at entrances of air-supported structures to maintain the internal air pressure.

Restrains the tendency for a double-membrane structure to bulge in the middle.

Restrains the tendency for a double-membrane structure to bulge in the middle.

Usually used to refer to the construction of roofs using a membrane held in place on steel cables.

is a combination of elements, which carry only tension and no compression or bending

Are usually reinforced using either PVC/Polyester or PTFE based coatings.

Are tensile membrane structures wherein the centers of curvature are located on opposing sides of the surface; commonly described as a saddle shape.

Are tensile membrane structures wherein the centers of curvature are on the same side of the surface; commonly described as a dome-shape

Is a Teflon-coated woven fiberglass membrane that is extremely durable, weather resistant

Is available as a woven or non-woven material

Can be applied in multiple ways such as single, double or triple layered tensile architecture applications; the material is durable, highly transparent and very lightweight in comparison to glass structures.

Is a dynamic tensile material unmatched for its aesthetics and durability, which is a woven, non-flammable material that uses 100% fluoropolymer coating and can offer up to 40% light transmission, eliminating glare to allow illumination throughout a given interior space

Is a composite system comprised of a PTFE fiberglass membrane exterior skin, a thin translucent insulation blanket embedded with aerogel, and a thinner and lighter acoustic or vapor barrier interior liner.

Employed as lightweight, large span roofs, they span the space using continuous tension cables and discontinuous compression posts; consists of ridge cables, diagonal cables, hoop cables, vertical struts, an inner tension ring and an outer compression ring;.

a membrane structure prestressed by externally applied forces so that it is held completely taut under all anticipated load conditions

the broadened end of a mast over which a prestressed membrane structure is stretched

a reinforcing edge cable ties to the mast of a membrane structure

a membrane structure having a surface of closely spaced cables instead of a fabric material.

A cable stiffening the free edges of a prestressed membrane structure

are a type of new hybrid prestressed steel structure that consists of an upper rigid single layer latticed shell and a lower flexible cable-support system

Utilize a parallel series of cables to support surface-forming beams or plates

have upper and lower sets of cables of different curvatures, pretensioned by ties or compression struts to make the system more rigid and resistant to flutter.

consist of a field of crossed cables of different and often reverse curvatures.

have vertical or inclined masts from which cables extend to support horizontally spanning members arranged in a parallel or radial pattern

Utilize a parallel series of cables to support surface-forming beams or plates

are a type of new hybrid prestressed steel structure that consists of an upper rigid single layer latticed shell and a lower flexible cable-support system
