The superiority of membrane structure to other buildings

Normally,the emergence of a new material suitable for building will inevitably lead to the revolution of building structure. Such as concrete and steel in history. Since the 1970s, a new type of fabric material has been developed in Europe and the United States.This excellent fabric supported by flexible steel structure, it can be tensioned into an opposite curvature with certain stiffness,we called structural system of tension fabric.

This new form of building structure, which integrates architecture, structural mechanics, materials science, fine chemical industry and computer technology, has the following outstanding characteristics:

1. Cost-effective: About 1/3 to 1/2 lower than conventional structures on costs;
2. Short Construction time: Half time is saved compared to the traditional buildings;
3.Various Shape: Changeful supporting structure can make  lots of different shapes of membrane structure with flexible membrane;
4.Security:Membrane Structure can keep the good stability under the action of horizontal load such as earthquake;
5.Self-Cleaning: The rain getinto  water to down on the surface of membrane and clean itself;
6.Fireproof: Fireproof performance of membrane structure can fill the requirements of US ,French,Germany ,Japan and other contries;

7.Large Span:The largest span of Tension membrane structures can exceed to 200m.

Those are the superiority of membrane structure to other buildings,if you're also considering to build a tensile structure now,just contact us and get a solution.
