There are largely three types of membrane structure buildings. Each type has the following characteristics.
This type of membrane structure is composed by a steel frame or other types of frame structure covered with membrane to form roofs or exterior walls.
Since it is structurally stable and the openings can be formed flexibly, this type of membrane structure is highly economic and widely used for multiple applications, regardless of the sizes.
This type of membrane structure is formed mainly by the membrane material, and the basic form is the suspension structure.
It is abundant in rise and fall on the surface, so it has superior designability which takes advantage of the uniqueness of the curved surfaces. It contributes to build an aesthetic architectural structure that has a strong impact.
This type of membrane structure uses the air pressure that is blown continuously into inside of the roofs and/or walls made of membrane materials to inflate the membrane until becoming stiff to support its self weight and all other surface loads.
It is highly economic and represents excellent workability in creating a wide open space inside a dome-shape structure that is supported by air pressure, without using columns and beams.
Framing membrane structures have several components. Modular arched frames are assembled into a system supported by intermediate members. The materials that make up these systems and their environmental benefits include bolted aluminum framing, architecturally coated interior and exterior membranes, optional formaldehyde-free insulation packages and skylights, and door and window systems.
Product Description
▶ Introduction
The membrane structure is made of various high-strength thin-film materials and reinforcing members (such as steel frames, steel columns or steel cables) to generate a certain pre-tensile stress inside it in a certain way to form a certain spatial structure form. A space form, as a covering structure, can withstand a certain external force.
▶ Advantages of framing membrane structure
1. Environmental protection
2. Higher reliability of steel work
3. Strong quakeproof
4. Higher degree of industrialization
5. Quick to be assembled accurately
6. Larger interior space

▶ Benifits of membrane structure
The membrane material used in the membrane structure has excellent flame retardancy and high temperature resistance, and can well meet the fire protection requirements. Due to its light weight, flexible structure and large deformation capacity, it has good seismic performance.
Short construction period: The frame's membrane material, steel structure, and steel cable cutting and splicing are all processed in the factory, and only need to be assembled on site. therefore. The construction period for this traditional building is short.
Lightweight: Tensile structures have low self-weight because they rely on prestressed forms rather than materials to maintain structural stability.
Light transmittance: Light transmittance is one of the most well-known properties of modern membrane structures. The light transmittance of the membrane material can provide the required lighting for the building, which is very important for the energy saving of the building.
Flexible: Tensioned membrane structures are not rigid and will deform under wind or snow loads. The conformal structure adapts to external loads by deforming. During this process, the radius of curvature of the follow surface in the direction of the load is reduced until it can resist the load more effectively.
Sculpture: The unique bendable shape of the tensioned membrane structure makes it very sculptural. The membrane surface balances itself through tension. The undulating balance of the negative Gaussian membrane makes the larger structure appear to be fully floating between the Earths. The sky seemed to have no gravity. This sculptural quality is exciting both indoors and out.
Safety: Lightweight tension die structure has sufficient safety. The light-compression structure can still maintain good stability under the horizontal load such as earthquake.
