As the construction industry continues to improve, although a lot of concrete structures are still in use, but the membrane structure has begun to increase gradually, has replaced a lot of traditional concrete structures. The appearance of membrane structures has changed the shortcomings of the large and bulky traditional buildings, and the use of membrane materials instead of traditional building materials. The weight of the membrane structure is only one-thirtieth of the traditional building, and the membrane structure can fundamentally overcome the difficulties encountered by the traditional building in the large-span (non-supporting) building, and can create a huge and unobstructed visual space. So it is widely used all over the world.
Membrane structure is a simple building, its own architectural principles are different with the traditional concrete structure, this membrane structure is more suitable for simple construction, but also suitable for non-load-bearing type of buildings, so more for the construction of bicycle shed, awning or membrane structure shed and so on. and the traditional concrete structure building is to use the frame model to build, is the load-bearing building's preferred structure, more suitable for high-rise buildings and heavy-duty buildings.
Membrane structure construction mainly uses the tension of the membrane material to maintain, if the tension size does not have the expected effect, should be properly tested and adjusted to prevent damage to the structural body. The design shape of the membrane structure should take into account the accelerated sliding of rain and snow. Skeleton and tension-type membrane structure in the construction should be noted: if the membrane material breaks, its support point does not occur dumping. If the membrane structure is installed, the open parts will not be dumped, either partially or as a whole.
