What’s Membrane Structure

-

 The light-weight and free-formed structure that are evolved utilizing the inherent structural characteristics of the membrane to span a long distance with the usage of minimum material (such as steel cables, columns, membrane) in their construction is Membrane Structure.

 

Among all types of Membrane structures, Tensile Structures have a unique significance as compared to any other membrane structure. The different fabrication methods of membrane structures play a significant role in the ability to extend and bend. In their free flowing shape and design, these structures not only enable engineers for realizing materials to their fullest potential but also amaze architects & clients, while viewing.

 

Material Characteristics for an Ideal Membrane Structure:

 

For a successful tensioned fabric structure, the material properties play key role & extensively responsible to cater the benefits of the membrane material. The selection of membrane material is important to the successful design of the tensioned fabric structure.

 

Besides their increasing popularity in architectural design & abundance within buildings, the main concern is to recognize the material characteristics for membrane structure, which can be the ideal not only for the durable and maintenance purpose but also to sustain their elegance for the long time. The material characteristics are:-

 

Mechanical properties

 

Light transmission

 

Resistance to UV radiation

 

Fire resistance

 

Fabric Types

 

Seam strength

 

Weather Proof

 

Stain resistance

 

Adaptable to Temperature

In what areas are steel structures usually used

-

Steel structure manufacturers can process a wide variety of products, including the following categories: 1. Single and multi-story industrial and residential buildings. 2. Office buildings, primary and secondary schools, hospitals. 3. Luxury villas, tourism buildings. 4. Modern commercial buildings for various markets. 5. Mobile buildings (demountable buildings, emergency projects). The main building materials in membrane structure engineering are steel and membrane materials. For steel structures, the main processing flow includes: material feeding → cutting → inspection → assembly welding → rust removal → numbering packaging → factory. The precautions are: 1. Materials must have a material certificate. 2. According to the cutting length and rod specifications calculated by the designer, the rods are classified and stacked for easy construction in the next step. 3. According to the penetration size of the steel pipe, considering the influence of wall thickness and groove, the automa...

Three Methods of Space Frame Installation

-
Image
  What are the 3 methods of space frame  installation ? SAFS steel structure professional technical staff share with customers and friends:   1.  Splicing the entire space frame  directly, after the completion  of  the corresponding ceiling method to hoist the entire space frame  into the air, and then within a certain hovering time, weld the space frame  in the corresponding position and connect it with the whole  building . This method is faster  to install, but has higher requirements for operators. 2.  The method is relatively mild, the space  frame works directly at a high place, and the space  frame is installed bit by bit through the part that intersects with the building, that is, starting from the surrounding area and completing the work at the final center point. The schedule  is very slow, but the operation difficulty is also reduced a lot. 3. This method is mainly applicable to the quadrangular pyrami...

Space frame has become one of the important fields of modern architectural structure

-
Image
Since the 20th century, the spatial structure has been greatly developed all over the world. The space frame structure is a kind of space grid structure. The so-called "space structure" is relative to the "plane structure", which has the characteristics of three-dimensional function. The space structure can also be regarded as the expansion and deepening of the plane structure. Since the advent of the space structure, it has been welcomed by people for its high-efficiency mechanical performance, novel and beautiful form, and fast and convenient construction. In stadiums, convention centers, cultural facilities, transportation hubs and even industrial plants that require large spans and large spaces, space structures can be seen everywhere.   After a century of continuous development of space structure, in terms of structural form, in addition to space frame and reticulated shell, membrane structure, tensegrity system, open and close roof, and foldable structure are...
